Podcasts about embodied enlightenment

In this conversation, Amoda Maa and Kavi explore the intensity of our times as both a crisis and an opportunity for awakening. Amoda shares insights from her book Embodied Enlightenment, highlighting how humanity is at a pivotal evolutionary moment where consciousness is becoming aware of itself through us.  Despite the turmoil and division in the world, this darkness serves as a catalyst for transformation, challenging individuals to either collapse into fear or embrace a radical shift in awareness. Rather than offering a utopian vision of mass ascension, they discuss how the intensification of fear, anxiety, and division mirrors a deeper collective and personal reckoning.  At this threshold, each person has the opportunity to break free from old paradigms and align with the unfolding of consciousness itself.

In this podcast episode, Amoda Maa is in conversation with her host and husband, Kavi, talking about how humanity has lost the inner connection with the divine and what it means to reclaim our divinity.  Together they touch in topics such as the externalization of God in religion, the impact on individuals and society of being disconnected from our God-essence, and the possibility of remembering the wholeness of God within as our essential nature.

In this podcast episode, we explore the contemporary culture of spirituality within the marketplace of life. Unlike in previous ages when immersion into the spiritual life was a total devotion by becoming a monk or living on the metaphorical mountaintop, or else took place in the latter years of one's life when householder duties were over, today spirituality has filtered into the mainstream culture.  Amoda Maa is in conversation with host and husband, Kavi, talking about whether this spiritual filtering into the everyday life has changed the nature of the spiritual path and if there are any obstacles and/or benefits to the marriage of the spiritual and the secular.

Amoda's second interview with Steve James, 'Guru Viking.' In this interview Steve James, host of the Guru Viking Podcast, is once again joined by Amoda Maa, spiritual teacher and author of books such as ‘Embodied Enlightenment' and ‘Falling Open in a World Falling Apart'. Amoda Maa shares her experience of falling into the abyss of emptines and the consequences that followed. She describes the dark night of the soul that preceded this experience, and how its aftermath healed her childhood abandonment trauma. Amoda Maa also talks about the life of a spiritual teacher, how she went from living an ascetic life of anonymity in the English countryside to moving to America to become a well known teacher, and shares her observations of the boys' club dynamic in the spiritual teaching scene. Amoda Maa also recounts relearning relationship after her enlightenment when she met her now husband, and discusses the feminine frequency of awakening and how that relates to the inner marriage.

Welcome back to another episode of The Lively Show with Jess! Jess skips her usual Q+A session, but discusses something NEW — details of her class: Embodied Alignment. This class is very personal to Jess and she's very keen to get this started and shared with YOU. In this episode, Jess takes a look back […] The post TLS #366: Jess' Personal Weight Struggle, How She Healed and Embodied Enlightenment appeared first on Jess Lively.

The Zeitgeist is shifting, and there are major changes coming. This is an excerpt from the talk I gave at our last Sunday Sitting, in which I discuss some things I don't normally bring up. Discussing non-duality and rebirthing-breathwork; and explaining the difference between the ENERGY WORK of rebirthing-breathwork, vs. the autonomic nervous system work of standard breathwork, vs. the ADVANCED ENERGY WORK of Sacred Breath. Even if you know all about standard breathwork techniques like pranayama and box breathing and 4-7-8 breathing, etc., Rebirthing-Breathwork and Sacred Breath are completely different things. The reason this is important is because Universal Consciousness is bringing down onto the planet a new form of Enlightenment. I call it "Embodied Enlightenment". I also like the term, "Integrated Ascension". This new form of Enlightenment is the first opportunity ordinary people have had to experience the equanimity and serenity of a Buddha while still going about their everyday lives. I also think it may not be optional. At least, not if the human race is to avoid extinction in the next few decades. So, trying to continue in the old ways is going to be increasingly painful for folks, because that is going against the flow of what Universal Consciousness wants. And Universal Consciousness only wants it because Universal Consciousness only wants what is best for us (and you). Not everyone who does Rebirthing-Breathwork understands about Embodied Enlightenment, and as I mention in the video, there are people talking now about Embodied Enlightenment who don't use Rebirthing-Breathwork. They came to it another way. Universal Consciousness isn't stingy. So I'm not making any special claims for myself. There were a number of "streams" of influences and factors which led me to this place. Which is a place of first hand experience, not some kind of intellectual conclusion or leap of faith. Still, as I survey the landscape of potential paths, and reflect on how it was for me, I'm pretty sure this path that I would like to share with you is one of the easiest, fastest, and most effective. It is a path of personal as well as spiritual growth. As I say in my "tagline"--"Breakthrough to the Next Level with (Rebirthing) Breathwork". Wherever you are now, this will get you beyond it. Even if you feel "stuck". I'm also pretty sure that you already know all of this. You may be pretending not to know because you still don't want to let go of this dream world that you made. So your perception of me may not be the truth of who I am, so that you can keep dreaming a little longer. But my vision of you is as the Being of Light that you are, and I am ready to walk hand in hand with you into Reality whenever you want. And you must be getting ready to wake up, or you wouldn't be reading this. There are any number of ways to connect with me; not just these Zoom Sunday Sittings. You can pretty much find all of them here: https://linktr.ee/breathe_only_love Or just call/text/email me. I'm pretty approachable. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ray-bratcher/message

Welcome, Nicole Fevrier Davis, the psychic trainer!  Nicole and I bonded quickly. Both of us are personal trainers and mind-body fitness experts. I identify as a holistic personal trainer and Nicole as a psychic trainer. We both believe that fitness and wellness go far beyond the body, mind, and spirit as we know it. Fascinatingly, just as I seamlessly incorporate therapeutic comedy and pleasure practices into my fitness work,  Nicole weaves energy healing, psychic readings, and angel messages into hers. Nicole explains the ornate and intricate system of our soul and body connection.  Through psychic readings, she integrates what she sees in people's bodies with what she sees in their soul. Nicole sees colors and images and  can hear angel messages about where a client is holding onto illness or injury. She reads vibrations of her client's soul intention. She talks to guides from past ancestry that can provide client's insight into inherited trauma, entities in transition, and feedback loops. Fascinating, right?! This is all new to me, but recent experiences have opened my eyes to the spirit world and I ready to hear more. In this episode, I share  personal stories about my medical traumas, joint replacements,  births, and recent house displacement. Nicole explains that we shouldn't fear what is in our subconscious and we can learn to access our own power. Nicole describes how people move away from fear and find empowerment, positivity, and joy when they learn to listen to their intuition and deepest knowing more.  We talk about weight loss and fitness goals, but we flip the script. Nicole explains how our emotions are effecting our intestinal flora, our metabolism, and our energy. I talk about how I have been trying to reframe losing weight. I believe by midlife, we have lost enough. I don't want to lose anything else. I want to gain strength and gain enlightenment. Nicole agreed. Sometimes people do not need to lose weight, but the fears and traumas they are holding on to. We need to choose something different and more beautiful for ourselves. Especially now, we need to keep our vibrations high, as the world is suffering. Nicole explains how science can blend with the soul and how to combine scientific research with subconscious conversations that bring divine wisdom, healing, and light.Based on her first work "Being a Body Psychic", Nicole is working on her second book "Embodied Enlightenment", which focuses on your soul answers to the science of your weight health. I'm fairly certain she was hearing my angels when she mentioned that struggles with depression, sexuality, joint problems, inequities,  and feeling safe and loved all effect weight loss. I left this conversation feeling seen, heard, known, empowered, and CURIOUS and I think you will as well!  BEFORE YOU FORGET (my dear overwhelmed, menopausal, and ADHD friends:), PLEASE like, subscribe,  and share!

Unify is a nonprofit organization that celebrates our shared humanity by hosting worldwide meditations and community-based action. This conversation was recorded in April 2020.

I discuss the psycho-spiritual dilemma that people have when they get to certain level of consciousness. Should we focus on developing a strong ego, or should we transcend the ego? It is a common question for the spiritual seeker, I'd be interested in your thoughts in the comments.   SUGGESTED

My guest today is   Amoda Maa. Amoda Maa is a spiritual teacher, offering meetings and retreats to support and deepen the living of an awakened life. She has been sharing her teachings since 2012, initially at small gatherings. Today, her teachings are followed by a growing number of seekers world-wide. Amoda brings to her teachings a depth and breadth of understanding of the human journey, born out of her own immersion in the furnace of personal transformation. In 2002, in the depths of existential aloneness, she experienced a profound awakening in which there was a liberation of self from the knot of ego and an ongoing unfoldment into inner silence. After a long period of integration, in which all seeking and all methods stopped, she started to speak in public. Her teachings are free of any ideology and are not affiliated with any lineage or tradition. While she is often referred to as a ‘nondual teacher,' she prefers to emphasize the full embracement of the human experience as a path to liberation. Her work continues to evolve in alignment with the real-life concerns of the modern-day seeker of peace and fulfillment in an increasingly chaotic world. And I highly recommend her most recent book, Embodied Enlightenment.  It's been a big help to me.  Our conversation had lots of good depth to it so hope you enjoy.   Contemplative Light provides education and resources in a global effort towards inner transformation through meditation and contemplative prayer.Clint Sabom is Creative Director of Contemplative Light.

There are primary energy sources that drive us, motivate us, and activate us to create positive change and impact in the world. However, most of us aren’t aware of how to tap into these energy sources to do so. That coupled with societal oppression, indoctrination, and condemnation leads to the majority of us struggling when it comes to owning our Power, enjoying SEX to the fullest capacity, and being Financially abundant.   Within the latest Embodied Enlightenment podcast, Aaron and I discuss the specific strategies needed to do just this… plus so much more.When you listen to this podcast gain insights around:- Societal association to sexuality- Integrating the same energy cultivated in the bedroom into the world- Tantra beyond the category of sex- Understanding the mind as the co-navigator of your ship- How to awaken through your contrasexual self - How to have better sex and more money- Energy, money, purpose and seriously so much more...Aaron Kleinerman is a Transformational Sex and Relationship Coach, Facilitator and Speaker. He came from a childhood of complete chaos, dysfunction and at a young age completely lost faith in humanity.  After attending the prestigious US Merchant Marine Academy, he found a great job, traveled the world and made tons of money, but realized he wanted more.  His soul journey brought him close to death numerous times on both the high seas and his travels to remotes places across the globe. Through these experiences, he realized that life is not about personal achievements and egotistic desires, but rather about deep soul remembrance and fulfilling one’s dharma. He has learned from the great masters in the field of sexuality and transformation, including earning a master’s degree in spiritual psychology.  Now he helps his clients remember who they truly are in order to awaken their inner erotic wisdom.  Aaron went from being a licensed captain navigating ships to a sexual behavior and movement specialist navigating souls.  His workshops, retreats, sessions and speeches help humans integrate body movement, psychology, sexuality and spirituality.  He speaks and shares honestly and transparently so that others can unlock the real reason for their human existence.  Aaron is now fulfilling his own dharma and has dedicated his life to helping humanity wake up and remember their soul’s unique gift. www.AaronKleinerman.com

In later years she suffered from drug addiction to the point in which her life was seriously endangered.“I was almost on my deathbed, and in New York City because I was doing so much cocaine.” - Cari MerriamOne night, she decided to leave the bubble that drove her to the same paths of self-destruction and the universe responded with an unexpected encounter. She met a friend, her soul-sister, which opened her eyes to a new way. She planted an idea in Cari’s brain about Core Power Yoga, believing it could be an answer to the question she had been looking for. “I remember I went into Core Power and just balled my eyes out the first class. I completely lost it. It was the first time I felt like someone held space and saw me.” - Cari MerriamThe transformation she felt every time she practiced Yoga kept her coming back to the point where she decided to sign up for a program and become a teacher herself. In a peculiar situation where she was working as a bartender at a strip club by day, and going to teacher training at night, Cari looked for and found the strength within. “Every time things happen, I had a choice to be a victim or to be a victor for myself. And I always chose self.” - Cari MerriamHer next encounter with her soul-sister led her to explore the power of breathwork, opening a whole new dimension of experience, proving the remarkableness of the universal alignment behind their connection. Using techniques she has learned in the last decade, Cari founded her own lifestyle brand and is looking to inspire and teach self-love in others and bring marriage and wholeness within themselves.Marriage of the Self, Marriage of the Soul“We are all walking around with fragmentations of ourself and how we are brought up is in societies is to not look at those aspects… and we carry them around like a wounded bag behind us.” - Cari MerriamWe need to overcome the distortions within ourselves which are brought on by society. These fragmentations are seeking unity and we need to attain energetic wholeness in order to truly realize our purpose in life. Cari points out the difference between the physical and the energetic self. We charge our energetic bodies through the process of breathing, and through breathwork, we can achieve marriage of the self.“When you’re truly whole you can be in pure alignment with the river of life.” - Cari MerriamLimiting Nature of a Conditional Society“We all have trauma. All of us. Because we live in a conditional society.” - Cari MerriamIt’s easier for us as children to be aligned with the world around us as we’re not yet influenced by language. Trauma occurs when our natural development gets affected by the rules of society. From a young age, we’re being conditioned by society through our parents and the school system with the goal of controlling behavior. This is not in and of itself a bad thing but is what essentially leads to the conditioning of existence.What’s to Come“From the world’s standpoint, it’s time for co-creation. It’s time to uplift each other’s vibration, by not only uplifting our own but bridging relationships and merging cellularly so we can expand together.” - Cari MerriamCari is looking to share her stories, teach and get involved with co-creation, all the while exploring and witnessing the power of breathwork. Her message of the importance of achieving wholeness and marriage with the self is resonating deeply and the foundation of the whole story is beautifully summed up with the words:“You are pure love.” - Cari Merriam See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What is breathwork? Can it lead to more than relaxation or meditation? Cari Merriam, a yogi and breathworker, tells us how you can tap into your own wisdom and knowledge that's within you. By pulling up energy from the lower chakras from joy and sadness to trauma release and even orgasm! Breath is medicine for the cells and mind that can further cleanse the body the bigger and bolder that you breathe. The brain wants to understand, and through breathwork we can activate certain parts of our brains and bodies and get beyond understanding to all knowing - beyond the logical thinking mind. It starts with the experience of deep breathwork and giving your body the opportunity to relax and release. Different from regular breathing, breathwork for trauma release is a consistent, prolonged breathing technique, inhaling in twice and exhaling out all through the mouth. This technique allows the body to experience the breath on a much deeper level that some would say on a soul level.Box Breathing TechniqueCari takes us through a simple, breathing technique called box breathing. This type of breathing exercise is good for relaxation and when you find yourself in moments of stress. It is an impactful technique.[6:40]Inhale to the count of four.Hold for four. Exhale to the count of six or eight. Then hold for six or eight. This is helpful in reducing cortisol simple by the nature of focusing attention on breathing (a form of meditation) and also counting your inhales and exhales (giving the mind a simple task to maintain focus).Active BreathingBy actively breathing, (Cari's technique it's inhaling in twice and exhaling out once all through the mouth) you give yourself the opportunity to be in the now. This is because you must consciously be aware of the breath as you are actively maintining a breathing style that is different from your everyday breath. By taking in more oxygen, the body has the opportunity to open up and release any physical, stored emotional, or energetic tensions and traumas that live within the body. It actively moves that stuff around, and just by breathing!About Cari MerriamCari is an expert breath, healing, health, lifestyle + fitness guide with a mission to increase global happiness by increasing global consciousness. Yoga and her transformational work have changed Cari's life beyond words.

Amoda Maa is a contemporary spiritual teacher, author, and speaker. After years of spiritual seeking, meditation, and immersion in psychospiritual practices, an experience of the dark night of the soul led her to a profound inner awakening. Then, after a long period of integration, she began speaking from silence in small gatherings. Today she offers meetings and retreats, and is a frequent speaker at conferences and events, attracting spiritual seekers and people looking for peace and fulfillment in an increasingly chaotic world. Her teachings are free of religion and tradition, and she brings to them a deep understanding of the human journey, born out of her own experience. She is the author of Radical Awakening (originally released as How to Find God in Everything) and Change Your Life, Change Your World: Ten Spiritual Lessons for a New Way of Being and Living. Both books were written shortly after her awakening and before she began to speak in public. Her new book Embodied Enlightenment — written 15 years after her awakening — is based on the many conversations at the cutting edge of spiritual inquiry in her meetings with people from all around the world, and addresses many of the questions relevant to today’s seeker. It has been acclaimed as “a beautiful and precious gift to an emerging new humanity.” Amoda lives with her husband and beloved, Kavi, in California.
