Podcasts about Awaken

This talk explores wise intention as a living, moment-to-moment inquiry rather than a fixed decision or self-improvement project. Drawing from the Buddhist understanding of Right Intention, it reframes intention as an embodied process of noticing what genuinely supports clarity and ease, honestly recognizing what leads to contraction, and allowing the heart to recalibrate without judgment. The emphasis is on alignment over striving, and on learning directly from lived experience.   You'll learn how to evaluate your life and practice through clear cause-and-effect, recognize when effort is actually creating more struggle, and make mindful course corrections that are kind, practical, and sustainable. The talk offers simple reflections and practices to help you listen beneath habit and preference, so you can open to what most deeply calls and let wise intention guide your actions with greater trust, coherence, and care.

Book your 2026 reading at : www.jilljardineastrology.com/shop Buy Jill's Book:  Sacred Sound Formulas to Awaken the Modern Mind:  www.jilljardine.com Neptune in Aries from 2026-2039 marks a powerful new collective cycle where spiritual vision seeks bold, immediate expression. Neptune governs dreams, intuition, imagination, and collective consciousness—along with illusion and confusion—while Aries represents action, courage, individuality, and initiation. Together, they fuse inspired ideals with raw impulse, urging people to act on their visions rather than merely believe in them. Collectively, this transit signals new beginnings in spiritual, creative, and humanistic directions. There is a shift away from passive, Piscean spirituality toward action-oriented spiritual sovereignty, where individuals follow inner knowing rather than external authorities. This may manifest through activism, innovation, creative leadership, and new social or spiritual movements grounded in personal purpose. Charismatic leaders and trailblazers are likely to arise, replacing outdated power structures. Historically, the last Neptune-in-Aries cycle (1862–1875) coincided with ideological upheaval, war, rapid invention, and major spiritual movements—from evangelical revivals to esoteric traditions like Spiritualism and Theosophy. Similar patterns may re-emerge now: visionary breakthroughs, cultural renewal, and technological advances, alongside fanaticism, misinformation, cult dynamics, and conflicts driven by misplaced zeal. On the global stage, Neptune in Aries can dissolve old leadership models and ignite radical shifts in governance, religion, and innovation. While this may bring enlightened reform and pioneering solutions, it also carries risks of authoritarianism, spiritual delusion, media deception, and impulsive reactions to uncertainty. At its best, this transit encourages courageous compassion—turning dreams into action while serving the greater good. At its worst, it can blur truth and inflate egos. The key lesson is discernment: balancing inspiration with grounding, strength with empathy, and individuality with collective responsibility. When integrated wisely, Neptune in Aries ignites a divine creative spark capable of reshaping culture, spirituality, and personal purpose for an entire generation. Here's a summary for the impact on each Zodiac sign but listen to the episode for more details: Aries: A profound identity reset begins. Old roles, relationships, and self-images dissolve so you can redefine who you truly are. Intuition and creativity increase, but clarity and health must be prioritized to avoid drifting or burnout. This is a powerful period for spiritual leadership and personal reinvention—stay grounded. Taurus: A deeply introspective cycle focused on release, healing, and spiritual integration. Past patterns surface for closure. Ideal for therapy, meditation, and creative work, though escapism should be avoided. Surrender leads to renewal. Gemini: Your social circles and future goals evolve. You may find your true tribe, become involved in activism, or align with visionary groups. Inspiration is high, but discernment is essential to avoid idealizing people or movements. Cancer: Career paths may dissolve or shift dramatically, pushing you toward work aligned with your soul purpose. Disillusionment can lead to meaningful reinvention. Avoid over-giving at work and maintain emotional boundaries. Leo: Your worldview expands through travel, education, or spiritual study. New philosophies and adventures beckon. Stay discerning—some opportunities or teachings may not be what they seem. Virgo: Deep psychological and financial transformation unfolds. Old fears, attachments, and money patterns dissolve. This is a powerful rebirth cycle—clarity, boundaries, and conscious financial choices are key. Libra: Relationships are tested and redefined. You may experience spiritual connections or idealize partners. Balance, mutual exchange, and healthy boundaries are essential to avoid co-dependence or disappointment. Scorpio: Daily routines, work life, and health need conscious restructuring. Intuitive approaches to wellness and service are beneficial, but consistency and practical systems are crucial to avoid burnout or chaos. Sagittariius: A fertile period for artistic expression, romance, and passion projects. Imagination and inspiration flourish. Avoid unrealistic expectations in love or creative ventures. Capricorn: Your sense of home, family, and emotional security evolves. Changes in living situations or family responsibilities may arise. Healing ancestral patterns and creating new foundations bring long-term stability. Aquarius: Your voice becomes more intuitive, creative, and influential. Writing, teaching, and visionary communication are favored. Stay mindful of misinformation or unclear thinking. Pisces: Your relationship with money, self-worth, and material security shifts. New income visions may emerge, but practicality is essential. Spiritual values reshape how you define succe Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

So many people are asking the same question right now: What is my purpose? In this episode, I talk about why purpose isn't a job, a title, or something you have to figure out or get right. Your soul didn't come here with a checklist. It came here to experience, to grow, to explore, and to rediscover itself through being human. Purpose shows up in how you live, how you relate, what brings you joy, and where you feel most in flow, not just in what you do. If you've been feeling pressure to figure it all out or wondering if you're somehow behind, let this episode be a validation that you're already exactly where you need to be.

Once again, host Robin Linkhart leads a meditation session encouraging listeners to connect with the divine amidst life's challenges. This session emphasizes the importance of noticing subtle signs of wisdom and meaning, as exemplified by the Magi's journey to find a sacred light in a humble setting. Here, you'll be invited to reflect on your own "star," the guiding force in your life, and to trust curiosity and movement rather than certainty.  Listen to more episodes in the Awaken to God's Presence series. Download the Transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

January 4th, 2025 - Awaken begins another new series on the first seven days of creation. Pastor Micah opens the series by looking at Genesis 1:1-5 and light being named into existence. Every new beginning starts when the lights come on and you begin to see something you couldn't before — about God, yourself, or your situation.

There has to be more than this! Have you ever had that quiet sense in your soul that life was meant to be more than routines, survival mode, and just getting through another year? In Week 1 of our new series, There Is More, Pastor Dustin teaches on the truth that God is not a God of barely enough, but a God of abundance, depth, and transformation. Through Scripture, testimony, and invitation, this message confronts the subtle ways we settle for less than what God desires to give and calls us back to holy hunger. Jesus said He came so that we would have life, and have it in abundance. Not shallow happiness. Not delayed fulfillment. But a full life shaped by God's power already at work within us. In this message, you'll discover: • Why God's heart has always been abundance, not scarcity • How settling for less happens quietly and gradually • Why spiritual dryness often comes from drawing from substitutes • What it means to experience “more” through God's power within us • Why hunger is the starting point for spiritual fullness • How prayer and fasting realign our hearts to receive what God is already offering You'll also hear a powerful testimony and be invited into 14 days of prayer and fasting as our church intentionally aligns our hearts at the beginning of this season. This message is for anyone who: • Feels spiritually dry or stuck • Has stopped expecting fullness from God • Believes there is more, but doesn't know how to access it • Is ready to begin the year aligned, hungry, and surrendered Declaration Prayer from this message: God, we believe there is more. More of Your presence. More of Your power. And more of Your purpose. Awaken our hunger again. Create space in our hearts. Quiet what competes for our attention. And lead us into the more You desire to give. We give this year to You. In Jesus' name, amen.

Happy Gregorian New Year! We start the month in Capricorn season and mid-month we shift to Aquarius season. There is something new emerging and that you're building in the Capricorn and Aquarius sections of your natal chart. Thank you for listening and being a part of our community.

Listen until the end of the episode to get your Sun Sign forecast for January. Here are the key dates: 1/1- 1/20 Mercury transits Capricorn 1/3 CANCER FULL MOON 1/17 Venus transits Aquarius 1/18 Aquarius New Moon 1/20-2/6 Mercury transits Aquarius 1/23 Mars transits Aquarius 1/26 Neptune transits into Aries It's going to be an unprecedented astrological year, as 5 major planets change signs and the Lunar Nodes shift into the Aquarius- Leo axis within the first 7 months of 2026. All this astrology means for a wacky and wild 2026. There are three Mercury retrograde cycles:Feb 26 – Mar 20, Jun 29 – Jul 23, Oct 24 – Nov 13.  Major Eclipses in 2026: Annular Solar Feb 17, 2026; Total Lunar Mar 3, 2026; Total Solar Aug 12, 2026; Partial Lunar Aug 27–28, 2026. The February and March eclipses coincide with Mercury retrograde, Check out my previous podcast episode I recorded with Hilary Harley for more on the first six months of 2026. A major planetary shift occurs at the end of the month when Neptune shifts into Aries on 1/26 for the next 12 years. Slow-moving Neptune initiates a new long-term cycle of societal shifts that will bring new ideals, inventions, inspirations and creative impulses within the collective consciousness signifying  — a generational shift that highlights creative action, and separating illusion from reality. January is an action packed month which will feel like two months because there's a marked difference between the beginning of the month and the end of the month. Early January is marked by a stellium of Capricorn planets including the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars morphed into Mountain goats climbing that mountain of karma. Then the gang goes gaga for Aquarius, as they all launch into Aquarian airspace the third week in Aquarius, with Venus kicking off the Airy fun fest on 1/17, joined by the Moon in Aquarius on 1/18 after the New Moon in Capricorn occurs that afternoon. Aquarian action amps up as the Sun transits in on 1/19, Mercury on 1/20 and Mars joins the cosmic party in time for my birthday on 1/23. Pluto is there welcoming them into the fold. I'll explain more later in the episode what the Aquarian Army means for us. In early January the Capricornian cluster makes it a powerful month for structuring your life, focusing on your ambitions and potential to achieve worldly or material goals. — a powerful time for career moves, organization, and success orientation. Mars mobilizes in Capricorn where he is exalted until 1/23 which gives drive, discipline and leadership energy. Mars makes it easier to initiate new plans, take on challenges and show up in life.  Jupiter retrograde in comfy Cancer continues throughout January allowing for deep dives into the psyche to seek security emotionally and anchor into value systems which will go the distance. Neptune nudges forward into Aries on 1/26 leaving a Pisces puddle of delusions and illusions in its wake. Neptune's entrance into Aries on Jan 26 marks a long-term spiritual and identity shift.

What if you could use the energy of anger to create peace instead of conflict? This week on Love University, we explore how to use Anger—one of the most volatile forces in the emotional universe—for healing and empowerment. Often mistaken for strength, irrational anger is actually a form of reactivity that drains your mental energy and damages your relationships. Drawing from his book Invincible You, Dr. Avila offers practical strategies for mastering what he calls the Anger Weakness—the tendency to be consumed by frustration and irritability when you feel blocked from your desires and wishes. Here are two key approaches to shift from anger to empowered calmness: Use grounding and empathy to transmute anger You don't have to suppress your anger—you can learn to redirect it. When you stay physically grounded and emotionally aware, you can turn reactive energy into emotional strength. For example, instead of clenching your fists and raising your voice during a tense conversation, take a slow breath, plant your feet firmly on the ground, and steady your tone. This simple act calms your nervous system and keeps your mind clear; you hold your ground without aggression. In addition, make sure you recognize the humanity in others, even during disagreements. This approach not only protects your serenity—it also deepens your self-control and helps you build stronger, more respectful relationships. Treat anger like a color until it disappears. The true goal isn't to erase anger—it's to transform it. When anger arises, you can choose non-reaction: Feel the fire, but don't fuel it.  Say to yourself, “I'm experiencing a certain color at this moment. Some call it anger, but I see it as a color, for example red.  I will allow myself to momentarily feel its hot intensity, but I won't do anything about it.  I will simply let it pass through me until its fierceness vanishes.” Over time, this emotional mastery over anger builds what Dr. Avila calls the Invincible Mind—a state of calm strength in which you acknowledge emotions without being overpowered by them. From this place of ultimate strength, you will transmute anger into fuel for positive change and upward soul elevation, culminating in the most wonderful of gift of all: Peace.   Learn how to manage anger with clarity, wisdom, and self-mastery.  Also, pick up a copy of Invincible You at https://tinyurl.com/3y3szh27.

Welcome to the final episode of our joy journey—an invitation to gather everything you've practiced and carry it forward as a living, breathing way of being. In this longer, closing meditation, you'll be guided to return to your joyful center—breath by breath—until joy feels less like an idea and more like a felt experience in your body. From that steadiness, you'll reflect on what it means to choose joy as a daily practice: not by avoiding life, but by meeting life with a softer nervous system, clearer boundaries, and a kinder inner voice. This finale is about integration. You'll anchor into the kind of joy you can return to in real moments—before a difficult conversation, in the middle of a busy day, or when the world feels heavy. Be guided as you immerse yourself in the healing balm of nature. Then, as we close the series, you'll gently expand that joy outward—offering it to the people you love, your community, and the wider world—knowing that what you cultivate within truly matters. Thank you for being here, for showing up for yourself, and for choosing a more joyful way forward.

This teaching clarifies the three-tiered structure of consciousness: the ego-world, the awakened soul, and the Absolute Sat—the all-containing, changeless presence. Shunyamurti explains how freedom is attained not by improving the ego but by realizing that all levels already coexist within the infinite Self. 

Day 6 is a gentle peace meditation for the third chakra (solar plexus)—the inner space of confidence, purpose, and passion. When life feels noisy or demanding, this center can tighten into pressure, self-doubt, or overthinking. Today's longer, supportive practice helps you return to a calmer relationship with your own power—so your passions can feel steady, warm, and true. You'll be guided to settle the breath, soften the body, and bring kind attention to the area above the belly button—inviting ease into the places where you've been holding yourself too tightly. As peace gathers within you, you'll reconnect with the quiet spark that says: I'm allowed to want what I want. I'm allowed to care. I'm allowed to begin again. This meditation is not about forcing motivation. It's about clearing space so your natural joy and desire can rise without pressure—grounded, sustainable, and aligned with who you are now. We'll close by gently expanding that peace outward, letting your calm confidence become something you carry into the world.

We kick off 2026 by getting our feet on the ground with a powerhouse Capricorn lineup, then rocket into an Aquarian surge that rewards bold ideas, smart networks, and future-first thinking. From late January into mid-February, Venus, the Sun, Mercury, and Mars flood Aquarius while Uranus turns direct, opening a corridor for collaboration, tech leaps, and community-driven experiments. Then comes the twist: an Aquarius new moon colliding with a solar eclipse on February 17, plus Mercury retrograde in Pisces starting February 26. Translation: release and recalibrate rather than launch; guard your bandwidth and refine the message behind the mission.We dig into the macro shifts shaping the tone of the year: Neptune leaves Pisces for Aries, Saturn follows into Aries on February 13, and Jupiter stations direct on March 11. Expect a cultural mood swing from foggy to fiery, from passive to proactive. We map the safest windows to move, invest, travel, or pause, and we explain why the back half of January and the Spring Equinox window are your cleanest green lights. March adds depth and stakes with Mars entering Pisces and a Virgo full moon lunar eclipse on March 3 that spotlights health, systems, and the practical side of healing. By March 20, Mercury turns direct and the Sun charges into Aries, cueing an all-planets-direct runway into early May.You'll also get clear, concise guidance for every zodiac sign, from Aries breakthroughs and Aquarius lift-offs to Virgo resets and Pisces spiritual upgrades. If you've been waiting for permission to try something different, the cosmos offers both courage and caution: build the framework, gather the right people, then move with heart and precision when the lights go green. Press play to plan Q1 2026 with confidence, avoid the eclipse traps, and time your next big move with cosmic precision.Summary of January-March 2026 Astrology• Capricorn cluster front-loads planning and money mindset• Aquarian wave mid-late January fuels collaboration and launches• Solar eclipse on 17 February signals release, not initiation• Mercury retrograde in Pisces from 26 February to 20 March• Virgo lunar eclipse on 3 March highlights health and systems• Jupiter direct on 11 March restores optimism and growth• Spring Equinox and Mercury direct mark go-time• Sign-by-sign forecasts for Q1 2026 If this was helpful, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more seekers find their timing.Support the show

On Christmas Day (and on any day), you're invited into a loving, spacious meditation that helps you nurture peace within yourself—and gently share that peace outward. This practice is for everyone, whether you celebrate Christmas or not. It's a universal moment to pause, breathe, and remember that peace is not something we wait for the world to give us; it's something we can cultivate inside, then carry into our relationships, our homes, and the spaces we move through. You'll be guided to soften the body, settle the mind, and return to a calm inner center. From there, you'll begin to expand—offering quiet well-wishes to the people you love, the people you worry about, and even the people you find difficult. Not as a forced positivity, but as a sincere, grounded intention: may peace touch your life; may you feel supported; may you be well. Let this meditation be a gentle gift you give yourself first—so what you offer others is real, steady, and nourishing. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "Awaken to Joy Celebration Meditations," episodes 1297-1303. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY: As the year gently comes to a close, this special episode of Awaken to Joy Celebration Meditations invites you into a sacred pause. Between this week's celebrations of Christmas and Hanukkah, and any other spiritual celebrations, light and love are celebrated in different ways—but the invitation is the same: to slow down, reflect, and soften into gratitude. This special bonus episode of Awaken to Joy is part of a meditation series I recorded a few years ago—created not for a moment in time, but for moments like this. As the year draws to a close and the light of celebration fills the season, I wanted to offer this meditation as a gift of gratitude to you, my listeners. These reflections are timeless by design—an invitation to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with peace, gratitude, and inner light. Whether you're celebrating, resting, or simply needing a pause, this meditation is my way of saying thank you for being here. May it bring you calm, comfort, and gentle joy as one year ends and another begins. ✨ With deep gratitude, ✨ A moment of stillness, just for you ✨ A new beginning softly forming.

Pastor Micah delivers his last Christmas message to Awaken by taking a look at the theme of light throughout scripture. It's a promise in the midst of darkness, but what would it look like if we received light as the gift that it is and saw ourselves as a light worthy of sharing with others? Merry Christmas to you all!

Day 4 invites you into a longer, restorative meditation on peace—the quiet strength that softens the heart without asking you to ignore reality. When the world feels heavy, peace becomes a way to stay human: present, discerning, and still open. You are offered preparation to create a personal Peace Retreat for yourself.  Whether you celebrate Christmas Eve or not, this is a universal meditation for peace. You'll be guided to settle your breath, soften the body, and release the mental noise that pulls you away from the present. From that steady inner stillness, you'll practice offering peace to the world in a grounded, sincere way—without forcing positivity, and without needing anything to be perfect. In this practice, you'll be gently guided to release the tightness that can build from disappointment, frustration, or fatigue, and to reconnect with the part of you that still believes in goodness. Through calming breath and heartfelt reflection, you'll explore how peace can restore faith in humanity—not by pretending everything is perfect, but by remembering that peace still exists, and you can be a source of it too. You'll offer peace inward first—creating safety and steadiness within—then gradually extend it outward, allowing your heart to reopen in a wise, grounded way. You'll leave this meditation feeling clearer, softer, and more connected, with an inner reminder that peace is both protection and power. Come as you are. Let this be a pause. A reset. A return to what matters. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, "Awaken to Joy Celebration Meditations," episodes 1297-1303.

When Logic Fails, Try Poetry (The Surprising Science Behind It)BelovedSome truths can't be captured in bullet points or logical arguments.They require metaphor, imagery, and rhythm to bypass your analytical mind and speak directly to your heart. This is why a single line of poetry can sometimes convey more wisdom than an entire self-help book.In our data-driven world, we often dismiss the power of poetic language as merely decorative. Yet neuroscience shows that metaphorical thinking activates different brain regions than literal thinking, opening pathways to insights your logical mind might miss.This is why the Poetic Insights feature of The Light Between Oracle app creates such profound shifts.This feature offers soul-stirring verses that capture the essence of your guidance in language that resonates at a deeper level. These aren't random affirmations - they're precisely calibrated keys designed to unlock specific doors in your consciousness.When you use the Poetic Insights feature:* Creative expression boosts your problem-solving capacity by up to 45%* Symbolic language bypasses your mental defenses and speaks directly to your heart* The insights continue to unfold new layers of meaning as you live with themDuring this season rich with symbolism and story, this feature offers a way to engage with your challenges through the lens of poetry and possibility.Take a moment today to notice: What metaphor or image has been appearing in your thoughts lately? It might be trying to tell you something your logical mind hasn't grasped. Then open the app and let the Poetic Insights feature illuminate new perspectives. We are coming to an end in this series and Im so thankful for you. In poetic possibility,KassandraIn the end….Some truths can't be captured in bullet points. They need metaphor and rhythm to bypass your analytical mind. The Poetic Insights feature in The Light Between Oracle offers verses that unlock doors in your consciousness. Because sometimes when logic fails, poetry speaks directly to the heart.Choose to be in the drivers seat to self empowerment and next-era growth.

Today's theme is a powerful one: joy is our first and most fundamental responsibility. Not as a performance, and not as something we wait to "earn," but as a daily priority we practice—one breath, one choice, one moment at a time. In this longer, bonus-style meditation, you'll be invited to release the habit of postponing your happiness and to reconnect with what's already present beneath the noise. You'll be guided into a simple breathing technique designed to cultivate joy from the inside out—a gentle way to shift your nervous system toward ease, brightness, and quiet aliveness. As you breathe, you'll strengthen your ability to choose joy—softly, sincerely, and without guilt—so it becomes a steady inner home you can return to anytime.

Awaken Your Future 2026 — From Vision to Aligned Action In this episode, we arrive at the final and pivotal step of the Awaken Your Future 2026 Creation Workshop — turning vision into aligned action. Clarity and inspiration are powerful, but without structure and follow-through, even the best intentions can fade. This episode is about creating a path forward that is intentional, sustainable, and aligned with who you are becoming. Here, we focus on planning with purpose — not hustle or overwhelm — but thoughtful systems that support consistency, momentum, and peace. In this episode, you'll explore: Why vision needs structure in order to become reality How to create simple systems that support follow-through The difference between busy action and aligned action How to move forward confidently without burning out What it looks like to commit to progress over perfection This episode is especially for you if you: Have big dreams but struggle with consistency Feel overwhelmed when it comes to planning Want to create meaningful momentum in your life Desire clarity, confidence, and peace as you move forward Aligned action is not about doing more — it's about doing what matters most, on purpose.

Awaken Your Future 2026 — Becoming Your Future Self In this episode, we move into Day Two of the Awaken Your Future 2026 Creation Workshop — the turning point where awareness becomes intention and vision begins to take shape. After reflecting on the past, the next step is learning how to release what no longer serves you and consciously step into the woman you are becoming.

From utero and into infancy, babies recognize their mother as being essentially one with them. So, being placed in their father's arms is in fact their first introduction to the "other," the outside world. The father will continue this crucial role as mediator and representative to the outside world throughout a boy's childhood. With decades of experience and dozens of personal anecdotes, Upper School Head Michael Moynihan addressed the 2025 Fatherhood Conference to share how a father's parenting outlook now will shape his son's vocational and professional readiness to enter the outside world as an adult.

What if the life you're reaching for doesn't ask you to push harder but to trust yourself and life more deeply? In this episode, Amanda joins us for an intuitive reading, a follow-up to her journey as a participant on Living in Alignment, Season 2.  Amanda is feeling depleted from a long weekend of hustling to promote her business, and she shares about the pressure she feels to make it all happen, prove herself, and get it all done. The guides suggest that maybe all of this hard work is unneeded and that a more fruitful approach is to follow her joy, put her energy into the things that excite her, and relax into the understanding that everything will naturally align to support her goals. They share the importance of honoring ourselves and our own natural pace and remembering that our gifts shine the brightest when we are rooted in the present and connected to joy, rather than sprinting towards the next external milestone.    Follow Amanda's journey and learn on Living in Alignment Season 2 here: https://watch.soulsearch.tv/player/?video_id=6eee5431-7321-42f9-b913-ffc39bdfa1ec&cat_id=6d7f20b3-c44e-4063-8f93-33c38f80f55f Book an intuitive reading or coaching session with me wherever you are in the world!

  In this episode, Swamiji shares the inspiring story of Joni Eareckson Tada, who became a quadriplegic at 17 after a diving accident. Her journey from anger, depression, and suicidal thoughts to becoming an acclaimed author, artist, and founder of a global disability ministry illustrates the power of resilience. Joni explains that her secret lies in disciplining herself to give thanks in all circumstances — gratitude became her reflex reaction.  Swamiji connects this attitude to Krishna's wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita (5.1), where He teaches Arjun that yogis renounce attachment and perform actions with body, senses, mind, and intellect solely for purification. True success, Swamiji explains, is measured not by external achievements but by inner purification. Elevated yogis welcome adversity as opportunities to cleanse the heart, remaining equanimous in success and failure, fame and infamy, comfort and discomfort.  This teaching matters because it reframes setbacks as divine gifts for growth. By cultivating gratitude and focusing on purification, seekers can rise stronger from adversity, awaken their inner power, and progress steadily toward liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.   

You've collected the crystals, journals, oracle decks, meditations, breathwork practices, and spiritual tools… so why do you still feel stuck? In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Graciela explore a pattern they see all the time in the healing and personal growth space: endlessly searching for the right tool to fix everything—then abandoning it when the results aren't instant. We talk about why most healing tools don't fail… we simply don't stay with them long enough. You'll learn the difference between collecting tools and actually embodying them, why consistency matters more than finding the perfect practice, and how our culture's addiction to instant gratification quietly sabotages real transformation. This is an honest, compassionate conversation about self-trust, devotion, and what it truly takes to create lasting change—without shame, pressure, or spiritual perfectionism. If you've ever felt frustrated, overwhelmed, or tempted to try “just one more thing,” this episode is an invitation to stop searching… and start listening. Sip.

We gather with astrologer and intuitive Sarah Adams to trace the winter solstice from its Yule roots to today's lights, trees, and songs, and to learn how to turn the season's longest night into a personal reset. As the sun moves into Capricorn, we dig into Saturn's grounded wisdom: inventory the year, rebuild what matters, and create structures that actually support joy. Along the way, we uncover how Norse and Roman festivals shaped modern holiday traditions, why wassailing started as a rowdy invitation, and how a soft‑edged Santa became an advertising icon.Together we reconnect ritual with meaning. Sarah shares clear, do‑able practices to bring Yule into a modern home: a mindful cleanout where you name what you release; smudging to clear and bless; a simmer pot of orange, clove, and cinnamon; evergreens that honor endurance; and a final candle with a written intention for what you'll grow as the light returns. We revisit the Holly King and Oak King myth to feel the deep pattern of death and rebirth, and we widen the lens to global “festivals of light,” from Hanukkah to Kwanzaa, that keep hope burning when the air is sharp and the ground is hard.If you've felt the season tip toward pressure and purchases, this conversation offers a gentler center. We pair the science of the solstice with the soul of tradition, and we talk about why darkness restores us, how synchronicity can show up in small winter miracles, and what it means to choose a higher vibration when the calendar turns. Light is coming back, minute by minute. Let's meet it with intention, craft, and a little old magic.If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who loves the season's deeper side, and leave a review telling us your favorite solstice ritual.Support the show
