86. Transcend Your Personality Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Chandresh shares how personality compromises of the ideas, narratives, labels, and stories we receive from society, family, religion, school, and so on. This notion of personality becomes so strong within us that we are not able to go beyond that personality. Ultimately, we start living as an idea of someone which is not ours. We tend to neglect our own blooming because we get so stuck in this idea of personality. In this episode, Chandresh shares how awareness does not have personality, but that is our reality. The point is to go beyond becoming and start being. Chandresh shares a few points like having the willingness to go beyond the personality, and to disobey consciously in order to transcend the personality. It is also important to plant the intention to live with courage and clarity. In addition, he shares two mantras for those wanting to integrate this in their meditation which are soham namana and aham brahmasmi.

85. From Anger to Compassion Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Chandresh shares how anger is not the real problem. The problem comes when we are not ready to understand the root of anger and heal the unconscious patterns that elevate it. As a society, we are not comfortable with anger, but taught to suppress the anger so it never really comes out in its pure form. Instead, it is blended with ego, control, and violence. This is one of the reasons anger creates multiple troubles in our mind and emotions. In this episode, Chandresh shares the tantra perspective on how to release and channel anger into creative conscious outlets. Anger has the potential to become ultimate compassion, but can only do so by understanding it, respecting it, and then using the power of meditation to flow through it. Chandresh also shares his own personal story with anger and an inspiring story from Buddha's journey in how he led others in healing their anger and finding a home for their bliss through it.

84. A Life Lesson in Self Awareness and Acceptance Oct 22, 2020

Show notes

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 others. In addition, he shares a very profound story from the life of Mahatama Gandhi and how that changed his journey.

Show notes

This week's episode is about understanding and healing your roots. These roots may be connected to your ancestors, parents, or your own energy layers. There might be so many extended branches of these roots. Taking the time to understand each root and then bringing it the reverence is what invokes our true healing. Chandresh also mentions a tantra ritual called Navratri, which means the nine of enlightenment. It's taking place from October 17th to the 25th.

82. Letting Go of Control Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

This week's episode is all about understanding how unconsciously we start to control all aspects of our life. We start to control our relationships, our emotions, everything around us. In that entire process, we start to control our spiritual journey too. The spiritual journey is all about releasing control and understanding that every control we are trying to exercise is nothing but an illusion. In reality, you can not control anything in this path. This episode is a reminder to understand the areas of control and release them.

81. The Social Media Dilemma - A Spiritual Perspective Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

This episode is all about understanding social media from a mindfulness perspective. The way we use social media has a lot of impact on our mental and spiritual health. Chandresh shares his experience, how he handles social media usage, and his experience with other people. A few of the problems shared include the reaction and validation of others becomes an important thing to us, in which we start doing things to get validation from others. Many times it decreases our ability to connect with people past the digital screen, and creates an easy delete/block to people with different opinions rather than being able to connect with them. Chandresh shares solutions to these dilemmas such as beginning to make conscious decisions around social media usage, creating a conscious plan on how you will use social media, and asking yourself who you follow and why. He also shares the importance of being open to new perspectives, ideas, and ways of thinking rather than building a bubble in your social media universe.

80. The Path of Conscious Abundance Through Tantra Sep 24, 2020

Show notes

Do you think about these questions? If you are spiritual, you should not desire money? If you earned money you might get greedy, corrupted, or materialistic? Have you ever reflected on how you view people who have a lot of money or more money than you? This episode is all about understanding our relationship with abundance, the obstacles, and clearing blockages to cultivating a conscious abundance.

In this episode, Chandresh shares solutions and insights through tantra including:

The energy of money is in the lower chakras.
The source of abundance is infinite & connected to pure consciousness.
Energy of money is fluid.
There is a lot of intentional energy that plays with money & if you understand the work of your intentions then the energy of money becomes more gentle and fluid for you.
Education and training about money beyond the spiritual law of attraction books.

In this episode, Chandres shares three spiritual tantra aspects of abundance:

Maa Lakshami's mantras
Maa Lalita TripuraSundari Rituals and Meditations
Shree Yantra and Shree Vidya tantra practices

Please note that the above mentioned rituals and meditations must be undertaken with a qualified spiritual teacher. We do not recommend starting these advanced level studies through any random books, online sources, or podcast.

79. Why Relationships Fail? - A Tantra Perspective Sep 17, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Chandresh talks about the stages of love through the lens of tantra. There are four stages: the stage of the mind, the physical stage, a psychological stage of awareness, and finally the stage of love through soul and cosmic consciousness. Chandresh takes us through each stage, the challenges, obstacles, and offers guidance on how to get through each stage and go beyond. Our hope is that this episode helps people to realize which stage of the relationship they are in, where they are stuck, the obstacles they are building, and how to find a way out.

78. Are you Over Giving? Sep 10, 2020

Show notes

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. In this episode, Chandresh shares his personal journey with over giving and the lessons he has come to understand, and continues to practice and implement.
