This is the last of the five spiritual tenets of Yoga, and this one is deeply fruitful and complex. It is also such a simple principle in that it asks us to trust life more than we trust our own egos.

L & J would argue that this is their most vulnerable podcast yet, and the risk feels so worth the potential for change that comes from being honest about this topic...2022-12-021h 37Rebels On PurposeExploring Openheartedness & BoundariesJoin Jamie & Lindsay as we circle up to talk about openheartedness. Not the fluffy, airy fairy type of openheartedness that often gets preached in spiritual communities as a sunshine and rainbow way of looking at the world (ie-toxic positivity). Nope, we are looking at the raw and real reality of what it takes to actually stay open in our hearts even when life is cruel, painful and harsh. We explore the ingredients required to live an open hearted existence, and the unwinding it takes to disarm ourselves from the conditioning that has caged our hearts. There is a paradox...2022-11-111h 25
