In the age of social media, we have become so judgemental. We are constantly giving advice to people without really implementing or understanding the application and affect in our life. We are eager to share the information without really experiencing the science of the advice for us. Not only has this become a norm in social media, but across the wellness field. It has become normal for someone to give advice that they have no connection with. In this episode, Chandresh shares a personal experience with going through the experience of that life lesson and then sharing it with...

This week's episode is all about understanding how sometimes in life we over give, and that over giving is never healthy. Sometimes we do it out of compassion. Other times we do it out of our own conditioning, childhood or adult experiences, for our job, money, and more. However, overgiving never turns out to be a healing experience for anything. In the spiritual traditions, we replace over giving with conscious giving. Conscious giving then leads to conscious receiving.

Energy Transformation in Tantra
In tantra, the most powerful teaching is the transformation of energy. Tantra does not teach us to suppress, but instead is very inclusive and inviting toward whatever kind of energy you are going through. Tantra encourages the transformation of the energy whether it be sexual, anger, greed, attachment, etc. It especially welcomes energies we consider dark or unwanted because these are the emotions that create suppression, anxiety, and other psychological problems in our being. Tantra teaches us to understand the root of these elements and eventually transform these energies into higher creative outlets. In this episode, Chandresh explains the...

Going Beyond Fear
In this episode, Chandresh speaks about how the seeds of fear are planted in childhood. Many times, they are planted when we are conceived in our mother's wound, transferring the fear of our parents to us. Our own past life patterns may also show up. The bottom line is, all of the fear is a symptom of a deeper rooted problem. We are taught to run away from or operate from fear, which does not solve the problem. If we unconsciously move into fear, it builds blind obedience and unconscious rebellion. Both of these elements do not solve the...

We all are looking for freedom, but when we are stuck in the limited dimensions of the mind, we look for freedom from things. Often the material- all the things that are bothering us in a moment.
