I'm Jess Goulding, a certified yoga therapist and expert in the chakra system – our energy body system that helps us discover where and how we are out of balance and harmony in our lives so that we can heal and thrive. In this podcast, we'll explore mountains of wisdom from ancient traditions, modern science, and timeless teachings that will light up our path and illuminate our souls. We’ll enjoy conversations with brilliant guests and try out breathing and meditation techniques together. Join me as we walk together, up and around this mountain we call life.
Today I'm going a little old-school. Back in my first podcast, Ready Get Centered Go, I used to share the dharma talks that opened my public yoga classes. Today, I'm bringing that back with a heartfelt message about fear, confusion, and how we can respond with presence, hope, and purposeful action.You'll hear a real intro from one of my Online Yoga Membership (OYM) classes called “Planting Seeds of Hope.” I created this class in response to the unsettling energy in the air—politically, socially, and energetically. When things feel chaotic, it's more important than ever to stay rooted and uplifted. This is my offering toward that.
Today I'm sharing what I've been uncovering about how to craft a strong, clear, and effective intention—one that your whole system understands and responds to. It's not just about setting a goal; it's about shaping your identity. I'll guide you through a process that moves you out of your mind and into your body, helping you hear what your soul is truly asking for. Then, I'll show you how to shape that message into a potent sankalpa—succinct, present, and bold.If you've ever felt like your intentions get lost in the noise or don't quite take root, this episode is for you. Let's refine your words, align them with your breath, and watch them become your life!Join me for our next New Moon Intentions session on April 27—we'll be diving into the heart chakra, and it's going to be a beautiful one.

Welcome to Chakra Savvy, where knowledge becomes experience. In this episode, we're kicking off a new series: Seven Practices for Fostering Equanimity During Times of Change. Change is inevitable, but it often brings stress and uncertainty, leaving our nervous systems on high alert. How do you respond when life feels unstable? In this episode, we explore the shadow side of the root chakra—fear—and introduce a transformative antidote: the practice of beholding. Discover how simple acts of presence and observation can create profound shifts in your energy and mindset. Learn how the ancient yoga therapy practice of pradipaksa bhavanam (applying the opposite) can help you replace fear with equanimity. Understanding the shadow of the root chakra and its ties to fear, safety, and resources. How to counteract the shadow energy of muladhara by bringing yourself into the present moment. A guided practice in beholding: engage your senses, observe your surroundings, and reconnect with yourself. This week's homework: Practice being present to your life. Observe the objects and people around you with the energy of beholding. See how grounding yourself in the present can transform your relationship with change. May you behold, be held, love, and be loved in the life you have right now.

In this episode of Chakra Savvy, I'm diving into the swirling energy of change and how it impacts us—behaviorally, emotionally, and energetically. Whether it's a small shift or a life-altering transition, change has a way of revealing the cracks in our energetic armor. I'll guide you to: Observe your natural patterns and habits during times of change. Notice how your energy might be leaking when you're stressed. Reflect on past moments of upheaval to discover your personal "fault lines." Practice self-compassion as you navigate transitions with curiosity instead of judgment. I'll talk you through a grounding practices to help you pause, tune in, and gather valuable insights about your energetic response to stress. By simply observing what arises, you'll be better prepared for times of change or uncertainty.

Hi friends! In this episode of Chakra Savvy, I'm diving into how our thoughts, mood, attitude, and body work together to shape our energy. I'll guide you through a simple practice to show how the sacred sound of Om, combined with intentional movement, can help you calm your mind and realign your the way you feel. This practice is about clearing the veils that obscure your divine nature, reconnecting with your inner Om baseline, and rebalancing your energy centers. It's a beautiful, practical way to move through life more intentionally and joyfully. Here's What You'll Learn: The power of shifting from “I am” to “There is” in your self-talk. How Om can help balance your system and align your energy. A short sound and movement practice to reduce suffering in thoughts, mood, attitude, and body.

Today we're exploring how an open and blooming sahasrara, the crown chakra, involves being part of a community, how as yoga therapists we're trained to make sure our clients are connected to one, and why it makes such a difference to our overall well being, and a life that is healthy and delightful.

Do you feel they are life-giving? Do they reflect some of the positive aspects of sahasrara? Let's follow this question back down the mountain, along the manifesting current, and let's see how you do as you run this question through the rest of the chakras: Do they give you a better perspective on your life?(Ajna) Do you resonate with them, and do they speak well of each other? (Vishuddah) Do they open your heart? (Anahata) Do you encourage each other in positive transformation? (Manipura) Are they supportive to your emotions and help you navigate life's obstacles? (Svadhisthana) Do you feel safe with them? (Muladhara)
In this week's episode, we are delving into the practice of looking for the good, for seeking the delightful, because it is good for your body, mind, and soul. "Looking for the Good" is a practice I learned in my Anusara Teacher Training back in NYC in 2003. Listen as I share a funny story that proved delightfully inspiring to my students (hint: it involves a pigeon and the Port Authority Bus Terminal). I also talk about how much I love "The Book of Delights," by author/poet Ross Gay.

Today we're spillin' the tea on gossip, toxicity, and the fifth chakra. If you've ever been around gossip, you're a recovering gossiper, or if you just can't put your finger on what it is, I hope you'll have some clarity after this episode. In doing some research on this topic I drew wisdom from the Jess G Yoga Facebook community, Rudyard Kipling, and Eleanor Roosevelt. At the end, we'll make some noise to clear the air and give your fifth chakra a good clean reset. Then when you go out into the world, your words are used to restore, not destroy.

Manipura, chakra three, is our center of self esteem. Self esteem is pretty important when it comes to delighting in life and seeing beauty. After all, if we feel not so great about ourselves, life itself seems not so great. Today I'm going to talk about: Clues that you might have low self esteem. Ways to boost your chakra three vitality. My favorite yoga technique for chakra three. More about Jess: Website jessgoulding.com Blossom & Bliss: Women's Yoga Retreat, April 12-14!

Scout Chavers is a community birth worker, student midwife, and yoga teacher who is passionate about the cycles of life, death, and pleasure. She is joining us on Jess on the Mountain today to talk about how the chakras and her journey as a birthing professional have taught her important lessons in letting go, holding space, and the power of pleasure. Scout says that chakra work changed everything for her when she took her first chakra training with Anodea Judith a decade ago (I was in that training too!). "It was the first thing that gave me language to things that I felt like I understood for a long time but didn't have language for." My conversation with Scout is rich and deep as we explore a variety of topics that ultimately lead us to the theme of delight and how she views pleasure and joy as not only a birthright but a form of activism. xo, Jess Connect with Scout: scoutwildawake.com https://www.instagram.com/scoutwildawake https://www.ritvalremedy.com/ Resource Reference Links from Today's Conversation: https://www.blackhomebirthmattersatx.org/ https://thenapministry.com/
We hold so much within us, and letting go is a practice that leads to openness and space for delight. In this episode, we explore a few types of attachments, or kleshas, that keep us from experiencing ease and flow. 1. Attachment to ideas about what is perfect or ideal and letting go to find delight in the just right for right now; that Perspective Training skill! 2. Attachment to My Way in different contexts and how letting go allows us to delight in seeing something bloom and grow as we loosen our grip. 3. Attachment as Heart Walls that prevent vulnerability and keep us hidden behind an identity, and breaking down those walls so we can fully delight in our life and relationships. We also talk about where you might experience physical symptoms in your body that are clues to what needs to be released. Change is a constant, so finding delight in letting go of what does not serve us is a freeing practice! May your inner guru help you see what needs letting go, may you do the work to release it, and may that lead to a life of delight and ease, as you walk up and around this mountain we call life.

This episode is fun and different because this time I'm the one getting interviewed! I recently had a joyful conversation with Shannon Jamail, the founder and creator of Mind & Body Complete, and host of the Retreat Leader's Podcast. You might remember Shannon from last season's podcast when I interviewed her for Episode 28: Embodying Surrender and Manifestation. Shannon owns a retreat center called Retreat Ranch just outside of Austin in the beautiful hill country and I hosted a sold-out retreat there last Fall. It is such a beautiful space that I booked another retreat there for this coming April! I always enjoy my conversations with Shannon, but this one was extra delightful because it was all about retreats - why they're important, and how they can help us cultivate transformation and nourish our second chakra. I hope that this episode helps inspire you to go on retreat, and if you feel called to join Blossom & Bliss at Ranch Retreat on April 12-14, there are still some spots available. I'd love to have you. You can find more information out here. Love, Jess More about Jess: Website jessgoulding.com Blossom & Bliss: Women's Yoga Retreat, April 12-14!

Today we welcome back the guest from our most downloaded episode of last season – Ana Pilar Cruz. She's a teacher's teacher and an expert in yoga philosophy. Our second conversation is centered on the second chakra (how fitting!). We kicked things off right away with a question that is frequently debated among those of us who study the chakra system: Can chakras become blocked? Tune in for Ana Pilar's thoughtful response to this question and the discussion that follows around granthis ("grun-tees"), which means "knot". There are three main granthis in the body - one is associated with desire and attaches us to the physical world and our sense of self, one has to do with our karma and action, and one is affiliated with time and separation of self from the greater whole. This is a fascinating topic and Ana Pilar does a wonderful job of explaining them in such a way that makes it tangible to understand not only what they are and where they reside in our bodies, but also how they affect us. Tune in to raise your awareness of your granthis and receive tools to help cultivate remedies to these blocks or "knots" in your life.

In Season 3 of Jess on the Mountain, we'll explore chakra 2 and the theme of DELIGHT as we move up the liberating current of the chakras from root to crown. In this episode you'll hear what I've been up to during “Acorn Time” and some of the ways you can experience DELIGHT by taking more time to savor, more time to celebrate and less time to worry. I tell a little about what is inspiring me and is swimming around and coming together in the creative bowl of chakra 2. And lastly, we peek into something I call “perspective training” that I'll talk more about all season long. I think it's an important skill we can all use in the “world on fire.” I'm glad to be back with you for another season of this journey on the mountain!

Chakras are part of your subtle body system; your energetic self. You can't see them, but they spin like gears and encounter the world around you and create the world within you. This can be hard to wrap the mind around. I get it. Truth be told, I don't think we have to understand or believe all that to make the chakras, and the study of them, valuable, applicable, and pragmatic.

Rob Bell has evolved from a megachurch pastor to a world renowned heretic (which I think is a good thing), questioning some of the ways the Christian religion has been teaching things that actually go against Spirit and Scripture, and proposing that the world, that God, is much more about love than damnation, and heaven and hell can be found right here on earth. His book, Love Wins, catapulted him into the greater public eye in 2011 when he was named one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people. He has been interviewed by Oprah, quoted by Brene Brown, and he's here today to talk about his new book, “Where'd You Park Your Spaceship.” With his new book as the backdrop of our interview, we talk about the creative process, our perception of others, of seeing our life patterns, of dealing with grief, and how stories emerge from within. You may not be writing a book, but you ARE writing the book of your life, which is our greatest creative Chakra 1, 2, and 3 endeavor. Rob Bell is the New York Times Bestselling author of fourteen books and plays which have been translated into 25 languages. His visual art can be seen on Instagram @realrobbell, his band is HUMANS ON THE FLOOR, and his podcast is called The RobCast. Learn more about Rob Bell on his Wikipedia page and on his website.

How does your body communicate with YOU? We have officially returned to the bottom of the mountain, as we dive this week into Chakra One: Muladhara. The first chakra is the earth element – our body, and our foundation. Located at the base of the spine, it houses our trust, fears, and ability to feel safe in the world. Chakra One asks us to be IN our body and LISTEN. Join me as I share how I embodied Chakra One this past week when I didn't release an episode because I chose to listen to my own body. We will talk about the different organ systems that are affiliated with this chakra, how imbalances show up in your body, and I will offer up some great tips, yoga poses, and the perfect self-paced course designed to get you fully embodied so you can bring your root chakra back into balance. You won't want to miss it. See you there! Much love, Jess Next week's Season Finale features my favorite heretic and advocate for all things being spiritual, Rob Bell.

For this week's podcast episode, we have officially arrived in Chakra Two: Svadhisthana. Located in the pelvic bowl (the sacral complex), this is where we house our creativity, sensuality, sexuality, emotions, desire, and reproduction. Since our theme this season is Embodiment, I decided to focus this conversation on Sensuality. The word "sensual" simply means 'of the senses' - sight, smell, sound, taste and touch. So "sensuality" is the enjoyment or expression of something that is pleasing to our senses. Sensuality is sometimes used interchangeably with sexuality, and although they can certainly be intertwined with one another (after all, our sexuality also lives in Chakra Two), sensuality is more about living a life with all your senses fully alive – a complete experience of your body and your environment. That's what we're diving into today on Jess on the Mountain. Tune in to hear what age our second chakra develops, the shadow sides of chakra two, my own personal story of when I first discovered that I was a sensual being, and how we can all embrace and embody our sensuality in our everyday lives.

Today's episode is all about the third chakra - Manipura. Located at the solar plexus, the color is yellow, the element is fire, and its focus is on the will, self-esteem, personal identity, and transformation. Joining us for this conversation on surrender and manifestation is the multi-talented Shannon Jamail, a best-selling author, podcast host, retreat leader, therapist-turned-mentor, and yoga teacher trainer. She is the founder and creator of the Mind & Body Complete Family of Companies which includes her retreat center, Retreat Ranch, outside of Austin Texas. Her passion and mission is to elevate individuals in mind & body in order to connect, grow & thrive through her online courses, books, programs & retreats. Shannon knows a lot about manifestation. And not only does she know how to make things happen, she does so with a level of conscious intention that is felt by everyone around her. She shares with us some of her own processes around creating intention and transformation (spoiler alert - she uses the chakra system!), how she combined her love of horses with her love of yoga, and how she tapped into the power of her third chakra to create the ranch retreat of her dreams. Ironically, our conversation about will and manifestation turned into one about surrender. That's right - an important aspect of intentional manifestation is full surrender... and humble acceptance. There are a lot of a-ha moments in this episode – some that I had in real time while talking with Shannon, and some that I'm still thinking about today! I would love to hear what your own a-ha moments are from this episode. "When you fully surrender and then accept that surrendering, is when the power is unleashed... that's how you become the most powerful." ~ Shannon Jamail Much love, Jess Get on the WAITLIST for Jess's next retreat at Retreat Ranch, April 12-14.

Today we arrive in chakra three: our lustrous gem, the beautiful yellow of Manipura, that houses our ability to do and to transform. It is the seat of our will and self esteem, and asks the question: How is your fire burning? Building and embodying a strong will, an appropriate fire, requires discernment, right action, and proper boundaries. Too much heat, stress, or effort and we burn out. Not enough, and the flame dies out leaving us scattered and directionless.

We are back with part 2 of our Chakra Four conversation with Emily J. Hooks and her deep wisdom around the topic of forgiveness. As the discussion continues, we explore how there is a time and a place for forgiveness, that we have to dismantle what forgiveness even means, and how forgiveness doesn't have to include reconciliation (or even the other person's participation or knowledge of your forgiveness!). Emily shares with us how the toxic dynamic with her mother completely dissolved when she forgave her, even though her mom knew nothing about it. "I forgave everyone in my life and no one knew about it until I wrote my book." ~ Emily J. Hooks Forgiveness is YOUR process and YOUR healing. What an empowering concept! Don't forget – Emily's book, The Power of Forgiveness: A Guide to Healing and Wholeness, is available at all the major booksellers and is linked in the show notes below. She has also generously offered her Audible audiobook format to our listeners FOR FREE! Link & instructions on how to get the audio version of this powerful book are included below.

This week's episode is all heart. That's right, we're delving into Chakra Four - Anahata. We are joined by the incredible writer, speaker, and workshop facilitator Emily J. Hooks. Emily's work focuses on inquiry-based healing from past hurts. Her work reorients readers toward compassionate self-acceptance and accountability, and she specializes in the topic of forgiveness, which is the center of our conversation today and a beautiful embodiment of the heart chakra. In fact, it was such an in-depth and phenomenal conversation that our team chose to release it in two different parts. This is part one of our conversation and the second part will be released next week. Emily spent the first few decades of her life managing her emotional and spiritual pain and the many traumas she had endured in her childhood. In 2003, she found herself in destitution and in deep suffering over the loss of the people who mattered most to her. Instead of giving up, she chose to move through the pain she carried and let go of her limiting beliefs about who she was and what the world was like. In a huge moment of awakening, she saw her entire life unfold and self-compassion emerged. At that moment she vowed not to live a tragic life. To not just survive, but to thrive. She began to deeply study the act of forgiveness, from texts and philosophies around the world. This led her to "relentlessly forgive" anyone who had ever caused her harm, including herself. As a result of this radical act of complete forgiveness, everything in her life transformed. And today her promise is to contribute as fully as she can for as long as she is able to. Emily's work embodies the concept that through the work of forgiveness, we can all find love, compassion, and empathy for others and for ourselves; that it is possible to both mourn the loss of what was not, and fully embrace what is. Her book, The Power of Forgiveness: A Guide to Healing and Wholeness, is available at all the major booksellers, and is linked in the show notes. Emily has also generously offered her Audible audiobook format to our listeners FOR FREE! Link & instructions on how to get the audio version of this powerful book are included below. I can't wait to hear what you think about this conversation. Let's take a journey through the heart and explore the embodiment of true forgiveness.

This week's episode is all about sound, which is directly related to Chakra Five - Vissudha (which means "purification"). Sounds are happening everywhere, all the time. Pause for a few seconds and just listen. What do you hear? Maybe an airplane flying overhead, traffic on the streets below, birds chirping, the wind blowing, your dog snoring, children playing, a phone dinging, your stomach growling, and on and on! Even in the quietest of environments, there is always sound. This chakra is the realm of sound, vibration, and resonance. It's where we both speak our truth and where we listen attentively to others. From my experience, Chakra Five is the chakra that is most frequently out of balance for people. Do you ever feel tightness in your trapezius muscles (where your neck & shoulders connect)? Hellooo Chakra Five! Join me as we embody the fifth chakra, discuss the symptoms of imbalance (both excesses and deficiencies), and explore the different ways that sound (and silence!) affects us. And I share some great practices you can do to charge and release your own Chakra Five. Let's jump into some good vibrations together. See you there.

In today's episode, we have reached the part of the mountain that is Chakra Six - Ajna. This chakra allows us to clearly see reality. It helps us discern between what is an illusion and what is truth. Living in a world full of differing opinions, false flags, false prophets, and propaganda – the truth can be tough to get to! Luckily, the six chakra helps us cut through the noise and distractions and allows us to connect with our inner guru. After all, it's the seat of our intuition! Join me today as I walk us through how we can embody Chakra Six, including the organ systems it's connected to and where it lives in your body. We'll also discuss the physical symptoms of a Chakra Six imbalance, how it can help your life when it's in alignment, and ways to bring more Ajna awareness into your everyday life. This episode will include some helpful practices that you can start incorporating into your life today. So let's get to it – our intuition awaits!

Our first guest of Season 2 is a fellow Austin-based yoga professional whom I've known for many years and have a ton of respect for. Ana Pilar Cruz has been teaching yoga since 2001 and, in the modalities of Hatha, Hatha Flow, and Ashtanga Yoga, has been training yoga teachers since 2006 at both 200 and 500-hour levels in the United States and abroad. As the current Director of Yoga Therapy at My Vinyasa Practice, she excels in teaching pranayama, mantra, and yogic philosophy & literature. Ana Pilar expands her teaching beyond the mat by bringing the history, philosophy, and mythology of yoga to communities and conferences across the United States. She's here with us today to talk about Chakra Seven, how it is the gateway to the Divine, and how we can embody the Divine in our everyday lives. Our conversation begins with the stages of life and how we embody them through the lens of the chakra system. From there we move into the practice of seeing the Divine in yourself and others, and then discuss different conditions that can create blocks in the seventh chakra and examples of how that shows up in world events. We also talk about the importance of ritual in accessing the Divine, and how boundaries are important in creating sacred connections. Ana Pilar then shares how the way she was raised to simply be curious about religion and her own relationship with the Divine kept her mind and heart open. This is such a juicy conversation and I could have talked with her for hours! We will have to have her back again. Enjoy this episode, and may it inspire you with a few ways you can find and sustain your own connection to the Divine.

Welcome back to Jess on the Mountain! We are kicking off Season 2 at the top of the mountain with the crown chakra – the thousand-petaled lotus of Sahasrara. Not sure how to pronounce that? Don't worry - even I mispronounced it for years! Imagine the snow cap of a mountain taking the shape of a beautiful white lotus of enlightenment. This is our connection to Spirit and the Divine. This is where we get the 30,000-foot view that gives us self-awareness and an understanding of how the world operates. Sahasrara is energy at the highest vibration – beyond sound and light, into ether and thought waves. Our energetic bodies, our etheric bodies, go beyond our skin and into the space around us, especially at the crown of our heads. This podcast season's theme is Embodiment, so tune in to learn which glands the seventh chakra is affiliated with and how excesses and deficiencies can show up in our bodies. We then talk about what it means to embody Sahasrara in our everyday lives, and we end the episode with a brief meditation to help you embody Spirit.

Welcome back to Season Two of Jess on the Mountain! Last season, we started at the bottom of the mountain (at our root chakra) and worked our way up to the top, exploring each of the seven chakras as we journeyed alongside one another. This season, we're going to start where we left off - at the top of the mountain! As we slowly work our way back down through the chakras, our focus this season will be working with the theme of Embodiment. Tune in to this intro episode, where I talk about embodiment and why it's so important, as well as provide some insight into the exciting topics and guests we have lined up for you this season. And if that wasn't juicy enough, I also announce a special companion online course called... (you guessed it!) Embodiment, which would make an excellent travel buddy as you follow along this season (totally optional of course!). I'll see you at the top of the mountain.

On the mountain of life, today we consider our choice of hiking partners, romantic or otherwise. After all, it's not just you on the mountain! And everyone affects each other, through the chakras, on an energetic level. If we're to experience Unity in the spiritual realm, it helps to have an experience of unity in the material world. This is how I see the crown and heart connected. Human love as a material expression of divine relationship. My dad gave me much advice in this area over the relatively short time we had together, and today I share three of my favorite pieces with you: Don't put your happiness in someone else's hands. Don't let your shorts catch on fire. Marry the rocking chair.

Her teaching style is clear and practical and includes discussion and reflection, movement, breathing techniques, meditation, yogic philosophy, and vedic chant. Amanda is great at creating an efficient daily routine to meet the needs and interests of each client. Individual support and this evolving home practice is where the life-magic happens.

Amanda met her teacher and mentor, Chase Bossart in 2011. At this time, her yoga practice took a turn toward a therapeutic approach and she went on to become a certified yoga therapist, to see clients, and to train other yoga teachers to do the same. Amanda Green is a graduate of the YATNA yoga therapy program and an IAYT-certified yoga therapist. She offers group classes and individual yoga therapy to students online and at her private studio, Innermost Yoga in Austin, TX. Amanda is faculty at Yoga Well Institute and teaches in the 1,500 hour therapist training program.

We now enter the realm of Chakra 5, Vishuddha, and “the voice.” You know, the one in your head that criticizes, doubts, and often convinces you that you can't or shouldn't do something that you desire? It's the one that prevents the feeling of freedom in your life. It can hold you back from really stepping into your power and truest sense of self. I recently worked on kicking mine to the curb, and in this episode I share with you what I found to be very helpful and powerful in this process.

This week I'm happy to offer you 3 simple practices that can help balance the heart chakra, and build awareness around how love and compassion are operating in your life. There is one breath practice, one meditation, and one journaling exercise to get you going. Also, over on my YouTube channel (@jessgoulding) I'm putting out four 75-minute hatha classes from my series, "Into the Heart." This is a chance to embody the first four chakras and see how they all relate to the heart. Like I said, Anahata is a big deal!

Today we enter the heart chakra where we encounter love and relationships. Anahata means unstruck. The you within you that was, is, and always will be, perfect, whole and complete. An excessive heart chakra can lead to codependency, poor boundaries, clinginess, jealousy, being overly self sacrificing. A deficient heart chakra can make you withdrawn, cold, critical, judgemental, intolerant, narcissistic. When you know your tendencies in imbalance, you can make changes that will improve your experience in love and relationships.
