76. Energy Transformation in Tantra Aug 20, 2020

Show notes

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 main aspect of energy transformation along with solutions to it.

75. Beyond the Fear- Guided Mantra Meditation Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

This week's episode is a guided meditation related to going beyond fear. We hold onto fear in the subconscious layers of our mind. The mind itself goes back and forth into all of the suppression and karmic contracts. Many times we are not aware because the fear is so deeply rooted in our brain. With the help of meditation, we can give a conscious outlet to fear. In this guided meditation, we use two powerful mantras including Vum Hroom (h is silent) and SA KA LA HAREEM. We hope this meditation helps you to cultivate conscious outlets of fear so it may be released.

73. Going Beyond Fear Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

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 problem. Chandresh shares specific solutions on how to understand fear, go beyond it, and how meditation can be a part of the solution. In next week's episode, we will share a meditation to help us go beyond fear.

72. Honoring Our Ancestors Through Tantra Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Chandresh talks about our relationship with ancestors. In the western culture, there is no specific ritual to honor the ancestors and include them in our day to day life. However, in many traditions of the world, there are specific ways to honor ancestors. In this episode, Chandresh discusses tantra and eastern wisdom traditions, sharing his own experience with ancestors and how honoring them starts to unblock conditioning and heal suppression. Even if we believe we are an original piece of art, we all have pieces of recycled material from our ancestors within us. Honoring our ancestors can help us expand our strength and potential. Chandresh shares many tantra practices and rituals including Kul Deva, deity of the lineage, and Kul Dosha, fault or blocked energy in the lineage. We hope this episode brings insight, specific solutions, and ritual practices for not only healing the connection with ancestors, but also bringing more strength, clarity, and courage in how your life is evolving and unfolding.

70. Divine Feminine- Guided Mantra Meditation Jun 27, 2020

Show notes

This is one of the most profound and powerful meditations from tantra. In tantra practices, there are countless mantras to honor the divine feminine or devi consciousness. In this meditation, we use 11 sacred mantras to invite the 11 unique forms of devi consciousness. This is the kind of meditation that can benefit you for years to come. To maximize the benefit of this meditation we recommend doing it after sunset with a candle and fresh flowers next to you. This is also a meditation that can help you in healing the root, expanding your awareness and raising your consciousness. It is a meditation that has limitless potential if you do it consistently and with discipline.

69. Spirituality in Mental Health Jun 18, 2020

Show notes

The intention of this episode is to initiate a conversation where we can understand the significance of taking care of our mental health. How do we use mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual practices to enhance the quality of our well being? Chandresh shares his own journey with mental health and how meditation and spirituality have given him strength when feeling weak. He shares from the viewpoint of social media, personal relationships, and career. When we start to give too much meaning to these things, we hurt our mental health because when something goes wrong in one of these areas, we start to lose meaning in our life. We hope this episode helps you better understand mental health, how to take care of your mental state, and offers tools to build strength when the awareness is challenged.

68. Self Realization- The Essential Revolution Jun 12, 2020

Show notes

It has become so difficult for us to experience self realization and peace without looking for the answers outside of us. It is very easy for the mind to constantly blame and look for the answers externally, but the truth is the solution lives within us. In this episode, Chandresh talks about the spiritual interpretation of the Black Lives Matter Movement, including the problem with selective compassion- when we are not able to perceive humans through the lens of awareness, but instead through division and different belief systems. He also discusses the relationship between collective karma and individual actions, and concerns with protests as they relate to the WallStreet and Me Too Movements. Instead of reacting with anger, it's important to cultivate and work on finding solutions. With the help of two mantras, we hope this episode helps all seekers cultivate a deeper meaning to the protests, and a stronger connection to the path of self realization.

The two mantras from this episode include:

Bhagwad Gita:

yada yada hi dharmasya

glanir bhavati bharata

abhyutthanam adharmasya

tadatmanam srjamy aham

vasudhaiva kutumbakam which means the world is one family.
