They also discuss:
🔥"New age" is actually ancient and "woo woo" is how your ancestors lived for thousands of years
🔥The alchemy of grief: transmuting pain into power due to increased awareness of your limited bandwidth to stand for what no longer serves you and how to reach this place of peace
🔥Ancient practices hold the key to aligning with our highest self and an explanation of some of these modalities such as plant medicine, ritual, sound and song, movement and dance, among others
🔥Your cells hold the memory of ancient wisdom and are beckoning to be witnessed and activated as the path to healing body, mind, and spirit
🔥Your power to listen to your body's inner wisdom for which conditioned programs to listen to and which ones to ignore
🔥The empirical collapse that is happening all over the world (felt as collective grief) is not a collapse but a return to the simple solutions that have always worked and how this disintegration requires a deep surrender
🔥Sundari's fascinating story of being raised between in an ashram in Yogaville, VA and NYC how she translates her yoga practice as a connection point to grief
