A path.  New episodes drop on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays.  Learn more: AcharyaShunya.com   Google Podcasts  Yoga Was Never Meant to Soothe You Season 2 begins with fire.

In episode 98 of Outside The Studio with Tessa: With the rise of eastern practices becoming more prominent in western culture, how do we honor these teachings without cultural appropriation? Acharya Shuny and Tessa Tovar meet again to talk about imposter syndrome in the yogi community, ayurveda and what it looks like to practice discernment. Acharya Shunya is a truth-teller, awakener, motivational speaker, and spiritual coach. She is the author of several books including Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom and Sovereign Self and Roar Like a Goddess.

Spiritual bypassing usesa. Can be in reference to justifying your non-action and passivity in certain, unjust situations. There are times to spread love and light, but there are times to speak up and stand against wrong. Instead of using spiritual terms as a defense mechanism to avoid issues, discernment is key in analyzing our intentions.b. Can also be used to describe people who are skipping and expediting their spiritual journey. People who have been practicing for a week and claim they are enlightened are most likely misinterpreting some teachings as it requires long term detachment.2. There is no need to feel like an imposter about practicing ancient teachings because you are not from India. The vedas were not made for one, specific people, but rather all beings. Be true and honest in your journey and recognize that you will always be a student, regardless of how advanced your senior status may be and proudly say you are still learning. Imposter syndrome arises when we erase our roots and attempt to hide how we have learned. It's okay to not know everything and still need to look at texts or consult another yogi.3. Discernment calls for us to be careful of what our sources are and to step back to pause and assess our situations. Be cautious of harmful intentions and misinformation and instead reflect on what you feel is needed. With discernment comes wisdom. This ties into self care and daily examples such as, "Do I really need to be getting drunk tonight, or should I be eating simple food, drinking hot water, and going to bed early?"

In order to achieve freedom, you have to get out of your own way and stop trapping yourself in old narratives. In this episode, Kayleigh discusses the importance of the sovereign self, where you make choices and set boundaries that enable you to be the best version of yourself. When you let go of the traps you've set for yourself, you open yourself up to boundless possibilities.   If you're behaving in ways that are automatic or are driven by your desires, attachments, and old delusions of how you think you're supposed to be, then you're not truly free. Kayleigh opened herself up to receiving intuitive messages and ended up exploring Lake Worth, a beach town near her home. While there, she stumbled upon the book, Sovereign Self by Acharya Shunya. This book spoke to Kayleigh's current life experiences and helped her to better open up to make choices that support her desire for freedom. Then, she came across MLK Jr. Pathway to Freedom, a walkway featuring quotes from important figures during the civil rights movement. She was particularly moved by a quote from Thurgood Marshall, which talks about the importance of recognizing the humanity of our fellow human beings.   Often people become trapped in delusions instead of being able to see reality for what it is. They stay caught in these traps and lose the connection not only to one another, but to their highest state of being. Take time to really think about the path to freedom and whether your thoughts and actions are supporting you or trapping you. Quotes   “It's only from a deep sense of inner freedom that we can really make choices and decisions that don't just serve us, but actually serve all of humanity because we're showing up fully as the highest version of ourselves.” (9:07-9:22) “Following that intuitive hit was just a reminder that when we're not caught in our own traps and we're open to possibility, even better ideas come to us.” (11:02-11:11)  “Am I free right now? Am I acting as if I'm free? Or am I a slave to desires? Am I a slave to my attachments? Am I a slave to what I think I should want? Or am I open to the experience of life and am I freely making choices that are in support of my boundless, limitless, most conscious self?” (17:36-17:58) “In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.” (21:07-21:12 | Thurgood Marshall) “Let this message be an invitation to explore the pathway to freedom. Which really is the pathway inward toward our true self, not the layers of stuff that we've added upon it.” (27:15-27:29)    Links Get Your Tickets for The Great LeadHERship Awakening Online Summit:  https://the-great-leadhership-awakening.heysummit.com/  Listen - or - watch all episodes of the podcast: https://thefutureishumanpodcast.com/  Publish with Soul Excellence - https://soulexcellence.com/ Join our next book - The Diversity in Humanity https://form.typeform.com/to/nC4RkNmm Discover Your Divine Feminine Archetype: https://femininemastery.com/ Take The Soul Excellence Archetype Quiz - https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/5efdf00af2b37c00141cb60a Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Acharya Shunya is a truth-teller who facilitates authenticity, self-remembrance, and divine feminine pathways to awakening. After centuries of living in patriarchal societies, many women don't realize how powerful they are—or how much they've been enculturated to keep their true nature hidden. In Roar Like a Goddess, trailblazing Vedic spiritual teacher Acharya Shunya empowers women everywhere to step into their divine immensity and lead powerful, abundant, and wise lives through her revolutionary revisioning of ancient India's primary goddess archetypes: The Goddess Durga—A role model who vanquishes internalized misogyny and institutionalized patriarchy, Durga teaches you how to take back your full feminine power. The Goddess Lakshmi—Known for her beauty and generous spirit, Lakshmi guides you to cultivate unshakable inner contentment and soul-aligned abundance. The Goddess Saraswati—The ultimate teacher of our most profound journey to Self, Saraswati illuminates the gifts of wisdom, peace, and inner freedom. Sharing classic myths, original insights, and empowering practices, Shunya offers a profound process for awakening the many faces of the goddess within. Episode Highlights: * Why Women's Anger is Sacred and why we must learn to express it * How the Goddesses can serve as inspiration for modern feminism * One of the most fundamental aspects of self-empowerment is cultivating a healthy sense of self-worth. * How the goddesses teach us to love ourselves * Acharya's journey as a spiritual teacher who became the head of a 2,000-year-old lineage. * How she walks the line of being bold in her assertions, as well as inclusive in her teachings * Why we should encourage the carnal pursuit of pleasure * Similar to the pursuit of sex, we — particularly as women — are taught that the goal of material wealth is “non-spiritual,” but this is not true * Why women's power is not always available uniformly, and how can it be accessed from within. The first female lineage-holder of her distinguished Vedic tradition, Acharya Shunya is an internationally renowned scholar, teacher, author, speaker, and scholar of nondual wisdom (Advaita) from India and a classically-trained master of Yoga and Ayurveda. She is the Founder of The Awakened Self Foundation and the nonprofit Vedika Global, Inc., platforms headquartered in Northern California that empower, educate, and inspire a global community of students through online courses, workshops, and retreats. These conversations are furthered by Shunya's top-rated podcast, “Shadow To Self.” An award-winning author of international repute, Shunya's most recent book, Roar Like a Goddess: Every Woman's Guide to Becoming Unapologetically Powerful, Prosperous, and Peaceful, was published by Sounds True in September 2022 and is now available worldwide.

Acharya Shunya talks about being whole and coming into a relationship with the Shadow and the Self. Being human means accepting the co-existence of the appearance and the truth – this phenomenon she calls “Enlightened Vulnerability.” She instructs us not to blame our Shadow, and that the Shadow tends to perpetuate itself – till we infuse it with the Truth. She re-stresses the importance of discernment and detachment – and provides us with a core teaching, by which we can access Absolute Truth.

There is a deposit within all humans to be noble, considerate and above all, kind, because of who we truly are – the dharmic Self – and not what our ego thinks we are. Yet, we need reminders, because many times, we forget our deepest spiritual imperatives. In this episode of Shadow to Self, Acharya Shunya, shall delve deep into the concept of ahimsa (non-violence) and why and how you can practice it, first and foremost towards your own learning-struggling-growing self.

Meet Acharya Shunya   Acharya Shunya is a truth-teller who facilitates authenticity, self-remembrance, and divine feminine pathways to awakening within. The first female head of her 2,000-year-old Indian spiritual lineage, Shunya reinterprets and re-contextualizes ancient teachings for modern times, empowering people everywhere to lead fearless, fulfilled, and enlightened lives. She is president of the Awakened Self Foundation and founder of Vedika Global, Inc. in California. She is the author of the bestselling books Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom and Sovereign Self and her newest book, Roar Like a Goddess. She lives in Northern California.   Let me tell you, my friend, that this conversation brought me to tears. Acharya Shunya is a powerful example of a pure embodiment of the divine feminine and goddess energy and is full of cosmic wisdom and universal truths. I'm so excited to share much of our conversation here. I hope you'll tune in -- you'll certainly be touched, moved, and inspired. Perhaps you'll be moved to tears too, like yours truly. Enjoy!     Celebrating the Divine Feminine   Acharya Shunya was taught early on by her grandfather, a master teacher, that she would head the lineage even though she is a female. She was told this at nine years old and learned at a young age that this would be her path and dharma, regardless of her gender. She would be the first head of her lineage in over 2,000 years and begin to change the ancient custom and weave in the power of bringing in the divine feminine and teachings of the Goddess.   Unconditional Self-Respect   Acharya Shunya teaches in her book, Roar Like A Goddess, that part of our learning is to see ourselves like the divine, which means creating non-negotiable respect and safety for ourselves. It's important to remember that even in the darkest moments, we are connected to the divine light. Our goal is not just to speak and proclaim our self-respect but to know it and embody this unconditional self-love and respect.  The Power of Shakti   There is only one Goddess force in the Vedic tradition, which is called Shakti. Shakti in Sanskrit means power. This all-encompassing feminine power invites, rather than destroys, builds rather than tears down. The three aspects of Shakti are exemplified through the three Goddesses: Durga, Saraswati, and Lakshmi. Acharya Shunya teaches how to connect to the powerful energy, lessons, and wisdom of each Goddess. Here's a quick overview to give you a taste of their universal teachings for a beautiful life: 1) Durga - Durga gives you permission to own your power and shed fear. She is all about getting in touch with your power within and expressing what Shunya calls 'righteous rage'. This is a highly conscious rage that can stem from years and lifetimes of being marginalized and overlooked. Durga is about cutting through fear. 2) Saraswati - Saraswati is all about knowingness and discernment. This energy asks you to discern what is a minor matter and/or what is a world manner. She helps you to convert trauma into growth for greater transformation and healthy, full expression of your potentiality. 3) Lakshmi - Lakshmi is all about the heart, love, playfulness, rest, and prosperity. She is anchored in conscious behavior, not just a scripted way of being. Her energy reminds us to play, connect to our sexuality and sensuality, find balance and enjoy the fullness of life.   Roar Like a Goddess   It's time to connect to the Goddess energy, frequency, and wisdom. First, you must roar with courage. Next, you must roar with fullness, balance, and abundance. We all need to roar with healing, higher consciousness, and compassion. May you be inspired by Acharya Shunya's example of what's possible for women and all of humanity, and may you roar like a Goddess! Final Thoughts Acharya Shunya shines her light for all of us to see the goddess within us. It is the goddess energy where we find the courage to create non-negotiable respect and safety for ourselves.

The What Matters Most podcast host Paul Samuel Dolman speaks with Vedic holy woman Acharya Shunya about her latest book, Roar Like a Goddess. The post Acharya Shunya #1052 appeared first on Paul Samuel Dolman.

In the Vedic calendar there are a few special festivals where the collective invokes the Mother Divine aspects of consciousness which are also supported by the astrology active at that time.This very special celebration and cycle is called Navaratri: The 9 Nights of Mother Divine, and although it happens a few times a year along with the equinoxes and solstices, the most important one (called Maha Navaratri or Great Navaratri), is around the corner.Understanding the importance and meaning behind this celebration connects one closer to Nature's powerful and rejuvenating cycles that are specifically intricately linked with our biological rhythms and energies. In addition, it an opportunity to harness the Divine dynamic energies (Shakti) that are especially accessible at this time.In this episode I got the pleasure to sit down with Acharya Shunya, a Vedic scholar and wisdom teacher who gracefully broke down the deep meaning that underlines the auspicious times we call Navaratri, as well as recommended practices for you to perform during this time.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

In this podcast we join Sounds True founder, Tami Simon, in conversation with Acharya Shunya, a master of Ayurveda and an internationally renowned spiritual teacher and scholar of Advaita (nondual wisdom). Give a listen to this informative dialogue to hear about Acharya Shunya's book, Roar Like a Goddess, and her empowering insights into : Awakening the inner goddesses of the Vedic tradition; the progressive revelation of Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati; "ugly power" based on ignorance, and the devas (or light bearers) who cultivate power ethically; how symbolism helps you discover your power; healthy rage and "correctional, super-conscious anger"; the divine, ultimate truth of nonduality at the core of Vedic wisdom; the river of light that flows within all of us; and more.

Embracing the Inner Druga represents confidently riding the lion of colonialism, patriarchy and misogyny in the modern context, and becoming, not only defiant but invincible in your divine, goddess blessed life. In this power filled episode, Vedic scholar and lineage holder Acharya Shunya shares about her progressive Vedic roots, her first feminine lineage - ancestor and what will happen when all beings on our planet shall begin roaring with self-sourced goddess power, from within.

Goddess Lakshmi can be experienced in a myriad of ways but does it include material goodies like mangoes and handbags too? Acharya Shunya says an unapologetic yes and shares the importance of aligning our human spiritual goals with our material desires to not only be celebrated and holy but truly passionately whole.

In this episode, Vedic scholar, author and teacher Acharya Shunya unpacks what it means to roar like a goddess and why learning to roar is important for anyone who wants to lead a more empowered life. She talks about her newest book on this episode and discusses its sixteen pointed wisdom, applicable for all modern seekers of power, prosperity and peace.
