Himalayan Master Anand Mehrotra joins us for the third time in this evolutionary episode as we discuss the fundamentals of time in the relative reality.  Time is change and change happens in time.  How we relate to time is fundamental to how we live our life.  We explore the pressure and challenges that one can feel with time as well as the cyclical patterns of time.  Anand reminds us that we need to refine our perception of time.  As we connect with spirit, we can open to our eternal and timelessness nature. The way to thrive in time is to progress and then time becomes our great ally.  To explore further, Anand previously shared with us in Aspects of Consciousness in Season 1, Episode 6 and Discover your Greatness in Season 2, Episode 7.  You can connect with Anand on Instagram at @theanandmehrotra.Like all things in time, this is an evolving, living thing as we discover our wholeness and light together.  I am excited you are along for the journey!Instagram @LightOnBeing

S3: Episode 5 - Vedic Astrology Elements with Pennie Nichols

*This episode feels relevant to release despite some audio issues with the recording.*  Jyotishi, Nurse, and Healer Pennie Nichols joins us as we explore the foundational elements of Vedic Astrology.  Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) is the cosmology of BEING coming from the Vedic tradition that means the Science of Light and can be used to guide one on the soul's journey.  It supports us to understand our individual expression of this Self as we move through time and space in this material reality.  It is an incredibly powerful tool to gain greater understanding of your personal experiences through time, to see that everything that you have experienced has purpose and has been divinely guided.  Pennie shares her personal experiences and insight with how Vedic Astrology can support living an enlightened life.  We explore the foundational elements of Vedic Astrology through discussion of the planets, nakshatras, dashas, and more.  The beautiful reminder of the cosmic reality is that nothing is ever wrong.  When embodying the highest aspects of our Self, we can experience more divine alignment in our life with greater purpose.  You can connect with Pennie Nichols at Enlightened Living. www.enlightenedliving.yoga Like all things in time, this is an evolving, living thing as we discover our wholeness and light together.   I am excited you are along for the journey!

S3: Episode 4 - The Negativity Bias

Science has shown that our brains give more weight and heightened sensitivity to negative experiences, thoughts, and emotions.  This is an inherent mechanism of the human psyche to protect oneself.  The Negativity Bias impacts one often and can cause unnecessary suffering, struggle, and keep one feeling stuck.  Once we see the bias and acknowledge it, we create space for a shift.  Practical and simple techniques are shared to transcend this bias.  Through awareness and conscious practices, you may open to experiencing more flow, ease, and grace in all areas of life.   Like all things in time, this is an evolving, living thing as we discover our wholeness and light together.  I am excited you are along for the journey!
