Shakti Sita is back with an important episode about language. There are many buzz words that have deliberately been used to move the masses during this time, such as: “flatten the curve” “quarantine” “social distancing” “travel ban” “contact tracing” “I can’t breathe” “new normal.” These are excellent examples of what George Orwell calls Newspeak, in his dystopian novel that eerily resembles 2020, “1984.” The goal of Newspeak is to eliminate nuance in order to divide people. This is the time to stick together and be conscious of our word choice.

After a very much unplanned hiatus, Shakti Sita is back with her key lessons from the global lockdown. It has been a time to grow, make tantric malas (3 months later), and start telling better stories than the one that George Orwell brought into the world.

I recorded this episode exactly one week into opening The Pallas Kundalini Yoga & Meditation studio in Dobbs Ferry, NY. I share my initial takeaways and lessons from the first week - from taking responsibility for everything to setting boundaries to prioritizing my own practice. And of course teaching. Thank you all for being part of this journey with me and for the love and support getting the doors open! - Shakti Sita "The first sign of a Teacher is that you are contained, you are content, and you are very continuously dependable. Your behavior reflects it." Yogi Bhajan, August 3, 1996 Show Notes: The Pallas Kundalini Yoga Class Schedule The Pallas Website Shakti Sita's Instagram The Pallas Instagram

One of the major keys to creativity is remembering that no one actually cares - because they are super caught up in their own lives. So stop using what they "might" think as an excuse to not create. Just go do your thing. And if they are thinking about you - great! Use that energy however it comes. The paradox is: if you WANT people to care - meaning you want to leave a legacy and do something majorly creative or great with your life - you have to NOT care what other people think and instead care more about actually impacting people and your community.

I’m days away from the first class at The Pallas Kundalini yoga & meditation studio in Westchester, NY. It has been such a fascinating creative process to get to this point and in today’s episode I’m sharing some of the energetic edges I’ve moved through in the final weeks of bringing this studio into physical form. I talk about ways to train your mind so that you don’t freak out during times of expansion and ways to sit with discomfort and stay steady. I point out some of my own self-sabotagey mechanisms in hopes that it might help you recognize your particular flavor.

If things feel like they are changing rapidly right now - that’s because they are. We’ve been in entering a brand new astrological age as a planet, known as The Age of Aquarius.

"I think that our consciousness is evolving so that we're going to be able to rise to this challenge, that we're going to be able to figure this out, that this is exactly the catalyst we need to rethink humanity and come together - because the way in which we're living doesn't work." Today I'm joined by Kelly Tatham - a storyteller, an activist, and infinite cycling energy currently having a human experience. We discuss: how to have a feminine versus masculine approach to activism, disrupting the norm and business as usual, climate lag, the multiverse, human behavior, sitting with discomfort, numbing agents, sugar production, the movement of time, the depth of grief, decolonizing our minds, and so much more.

The nervous system is a muscle and if we don't practice strengthening the parasympathetic side of it, our bodies' natural healing process becomes stalled. Through my own health journey, I've experienced how profound it is when you activate the parasympathetic system and move into the healing frequency. In this episode, I cover why we need a strong nervous system, how it functions, and techniques for activating the parasympathetic part of the system.  Show Notes: About The Nervous System Frequency & Binaural Beats Joe Dispenza Shakti Sita's Instagram The Pallas Instagram Kundalini Yoga Sat Kriya Kundalini Yoga Breath of Fire Kundalini Yoga The Science of Cold Showers

Today's episode is all about making fast decisions so you can keep moving! The best leaders are the quickest and most accurate decision makers. It is an intuitive process and if insecurity is slowing you down from making a choice, dig into that. Life wants to move through you and all you have to do is direct the energy. There is no wrong decision! Show Notes: “The Executive Mind is a Projective Mind. It moves actions and resources. A lot of people fail because they can’t or won’t decide things. They hesitate and lose the timing or become doubtful and lose the leadership. They will discuss things, shuffle papers, and plan. The Executive Mind decides in seconds. When you have difficult decisions, like a surgeon dealing with life and death, this mind is essential.” The Mind: It's Projections and Multiple Facets, Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga Gary Vaynerchuk on decision making McKinsey: Decision Making in The Age Of Urgency How Jeff Bezos Uses Faster Better Decisions  Shakti Sita's Instagram The Pallas Instagram

Today I'm sharing the biggest thing I worked on with all my PR clients: branding yourself as what you want to be. The press and the people in your life will only say and believe things about you that you say and believe about yourself. Participation is mandatory because even if you don't consciously work your projection, the people around you are receiving it and giving it right back to you. Take ownership of your story! Show Notes: "If you stop doing Sadhana, it will not make you to progress on the spiritual path. And for a while you can get along, but later on your past will catch up and eat you up. Therefore, I request you to re-shape and reformulate yourself and start regrinding yourself so that you may remain polished and shining and beautiful." Yogi Bhajan 1/25/79 The Pygmalion Effect Tony Robbins Priming Shakti Sita's Instagram The Pallas Instagram

Today's show is about how we are addicted to the status quo and what to do about it. Our subconscious minds are constantly trying to protect us and manipulate any situation that could cause us to grow or change.  Yogi Bhajan says "You need a habit to relate to your mind. You need to sit with your mind and review it, polish it, and direct it." I provide a few meditations that could help with this subconscious sabotage, but forgot to mention the Addiction meditation, probably because of my own subconscious, so please find a link to it below!
