Wellness Curated

You might think of love as a fleeting feeling, reserved for family, friends, or romance, but what if love was just the starting point? What if true transformation came not from emotion, but from practice?In this heartwarming episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda is joined by Venerable Bhante Sujatha, a Buddhist monk and the founder of the Blue Lotus Temple in the U.S., to explore loving kindness not as a mood or virtue, but as a daily discipline that reshapes how we relate to others, to pain, and to ourselves.Together, they unpack what it means to turn love into a lifestyle, and how practicing loving kindness can rewire your reactions, shift your inner dialogue, and soften even your toughest relationships, including the one you have with yourself. Through real-life stories, gentle wisdom, and unexpected truths (like why competition and kindness cannot co-exist), Bhante shows us how love becomes stronger, deeper, and freer when it is trained like a muscle.Have you ever struggled to forgive someone? Or found it easier to be kind to others than to yourself? Or wondered if kindness makes you weak?

You might hum when you're nervous, chant when you're seeking calm, or lose yourself in a piece of music — but what if sound could do more than soothe? What if it could physically shift your brainwaves, calm your nervous system, and even help you heal?In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Eileen Day McKusick, a pioneering voice in sound therapy and creator of Biofield Tuning, and Dr. Puja Myles, public health specialist and Monroe Institute trainer, about how intentional sound can become a tool for self-regulation, emotional clarity, and grounded presence.Together, they explore how sound interacts with our body's electromagnetic field, how frequencies can be mapped to different states of consciousness, and how simple practices like humming or vocal toning can release tension, reduce anxiety, and bring the body back into harmony. You'll hear why ancient practices like chanting and modern tools like binaural beats aren't just spiritual fluff — they're rooted in neuroscience and backed by research.If you've ever felt the urge to hum, sing, or just sit in silence — this conversation explains why.

You crave quiet, but even when the world goes silent, your thoughts keep racing. You stay busy, scroll endlessly, or distract yourself — anything to avoid being truly alone. But what if solitude wasn't something to fear… but a powerful way to calm your nervous system and build emotional resilience?In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Robert Kull, who spent a full year in intentional solitude on a remote island, and Maggie Hamilton, social researcher and author, about the benefits of solitude — and how it differs from loneliness.Together, they explore how solitude and mental health are deeply connected, how stillness and mindfulness can ease anxiety, and how small, accessible habits — like screen-free time or quiet walks in nature — can help you reconnect with yourself. You'll hear why being alone doesn't have to feel lonely, and how solitude can become a simple mental health practice that leads to real clarity.If the idea of being still feels hard, maybe that's exactly where the healing starts.

You wake up anxious. Your mind races. The to-do list grows longer, and even when you sit to meditate, stillness feels impossible.Sound familiar? You might not be meditating “wrong” — just not in the way your body truly needs.In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Yirser Ra Hotep — a master of Kemetic meditation, Tai Chi, and Qigong — as he reveals how ancient wisdom from Egypt, China, and India offers a very different take on what meditation really is.Together, they explore how movement, breath, posture, and awareness are seamlessly integrated into daily life across these traditions — and how that can help soothe your nervous system, anchor your awareness, and bring you back to your body.If sitting still doesn't work for you, maybe it's not your fault. Maybe it's the method.

More than 1,400 years ago, a man sat in quiet reflection in a cave in Mecca. What he experienced changed the course of history. The words revealed to him became the Quran—a book that continues to shape lives, inspire reflection, and spark debate. But how does a text from so long ago remain relevant today?In this episode, we speak with Dr Zafarul Islam Khan—scholar, journalist, and translator—who spent over a decade working on a new English translation of the Quran. He takes us through the deeper messages of the text, its themes, and the responsibility that comes with understanding it.What does the Quran say about justice and accountability?

What if the key to understanding life's biggest questions had been passed down for centuries—but nearly disappeared along the way?In this episode of Wellness Curated, host Anshu Bahanda sits down with Manish Modi, a custodian of Jain literature and the great-grandson of Pandit Nathuram Premji, a pioneer in Jain publishing and social reform. Manish continues this legacy through Hindi Granth Ratnakar Karyalay, a prestigious publishing house founded in 1912. His passion for preserving and sharing Jain teachings has led him to translate, publish, and lecture extensively on the subject.But these texts weren't simply written and preserved. They survived secrecy, memory lapses, and even opposition from within the Jain community itself. What happened when knowledge was entrusted to memory alone? Why were ancient manuscripts hidden away in Karnataka for centuries? And how did a group of determined scholars convince a wealthy patron to fund their revival instead of another temple?Beyond their history, these scriptures hold profound lessons about how to live with purpose, balance, and clarity. Mahavir's teachings weren't just for his time—they speak to challenges we all face today.

In this insightful episode of Wellness Curated, host Anshu Bahanda expertly navigates the complex and often misunderstood world of astrology, drawing upon the expertise of Liz Norman and Dr. Sundeep Kochar to bridge the gap between Western and Vedic traditions.  The episode reveals astrology as a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth.Liz Norman, a highly respected Western astrologer, illuminates the tropical zodiac's connection to the natural rhythms of the earth. She unpacks how understanding planetary movements can provide invaluable clarity, offering a roadmap through life's inevitable challenges and uncertainties. It's not about passively accepting fate, but actively aligning oneself with cosmic cycles for greater self-awareness. This is where the unexpected comes in: Norman subtly suggests that even seemingly negative transits can be reframed as opportunities for profound internal shifts.Dr Sundeep Kochar, a leading authority on Vedic astrology, introduces Jyotish – the "science of light" – focusing on the sun and moon's profound influence on our individual destinies.  His perspective on the interplay of fate and free will is particularly compelling. He proposes a fascinating 70/30 model: 70% of our lives may be pre-ordained, yet we retain a crucial 30% agency to shape our paths.  This empowering message encourages active participation in our own lives, rather than passive acceptance of destiny. Consider this: the seemingly fixed 70% might be less about predetermined events and more about inherent predispositions, talents, and challenges – areas where self-awareness becomes paramount.The conversation seamlessly flows into practical applications, exploring the impact of moon cycles and planetary transits on our well-being. Intriguingly, the discussion expands beyond pure astrology to encompass complementary healing modalities, such as homoeopathy and Bach flower remedies, highlighting astrology's potential as a holistic guide to self-care.  This unexpected connection underscores astrology's capacity to inform a more comprehensive approach to wellness.Intrigued by the ancient wisdom of astrology and its practical applications in modern life?  This episode provides an engaging and informative exploration, prompting listeners to reflect upon their own life journey through a truly cosmic lens.  It's a conversation that resonates long after the credits roll.For a transcript of this show, go to https://wellnesscurated.life/the-cosmic-connection-aligning-with-astrologyIf you liked our episode, you can subscribe to our podcast on any of the major podcasting platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.

Welcome to another episode from our podcast season on 'Ancient Wisdom For Modern Living.'

This episode provides a comprehensive look at how Zen principles can offer valuable guidance for living a mindful, balanced, and fulfilling life.In this episode, host Anshu Bahanda looks toward the ancient practice of Zen Buddhism with two esteemed guests: Professor Ruben L. F. Hábito, a Filipino Zen rōshi of the Sanbō Kyōdan lineage, and Shozan Jack Haubner, a Zen Buddhist priest known for his humorous takes on monastic life, having spent many years in a monastery. Hábito discusses the Zen koan (story) of the monk who carries a woman across the river.

Zen Buddhism is a Japanese school of Mahayana Buddhism that emphasises the value of meditation and intuition.
