The Vital Veda Podcast: Ayurveda | Holistic Health | Cosmic and Natural Law
When an eclipse happens, something shifts. The light changes. The atmosphere feels different. Traditionally, these moments were never treated as ordinary.In this episode, Dylan is joined by Jyotishi and Ayurvedic practitioner Laura Plumb, Vaidya Dr Krishna Raju, Vaidya and medical astrologer Dr Harsha Raju, and mantra teacher Purnesh. Together they explore eclipses through the lenses of Ayurveda, Jyotish and mantra śāstra.They speak about Rahu and Ketu, the difference between solar and lunar eclipses, why digestion and prāṇa are considered more sensitive during these periods, and why eclipses have long been used as powerful windows for mantra and inner practice. Specific mantras and simple ritual guidelines are shared, along with practical recommendations around food, rest, meditation and how to orient the mind during these heightened times. The conversation moves between astronomy, subtle physiology and lived experience, offering a steady and grounded way to approach eclipse events.Rather than sensationalising eclipses, this episode invites a composed perspective. A reminder that moments of shadow can also be moments of alignment.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

Today we're sharing something special that was previously only available over on our Substack page, our exclusive live post-episode chat Mayim and Jonathan did with our special Substack community about the recent episode we did with Michael Singer, the renowned spiritual teacher and author of The Untethered Soul. While many enter 2026 with a "best year ever" mentality that can feel arbitrary or even off-putting, this discussion offers something more grounded: a simple and powerful mantra for when things go wrong—"I can handle this." How do we do that? We start by deconstructing the internal narratives that keep us in a reactive state. Mayim and Jonathan dive into the "most valuable sell" for anyone seeking peace: the realization that we don't need to "wake up" to a new reality, but rather stop putting ourselves back to sleep with our own "emotional garbage". But "I can handle this" is more than just a phrase; it's a way to influence our biology. Mayim explains that when we use our intellect to imagine something different, we are actually changing our physiology—altering our body's ability to heal, connect, and thrive. By leaning into this mantra, we stop the "animal part" of our brain from merely reacting to past programming and instead use our consciousness to navigate the world with choice. The live also explores: - The Myth of the Permanent High: Spiritual awakening is not a constant state of euphoria. It's about the "residue" you bring back from the mountaintop to handle the messy reality of traffic, technology fails, and human conflict. - The Sky Metaphor for Awareness: Peace and beauty are always available—like the sky—but we are often "unavailable" to notice them because we are fighting reality rather than acknowledging it. - Navigating the "Grit vs. Flow" Balance: A deep dive into the tension between the tenacity required to achieve goals and the spiritual wisdom required to read the "writing on the wall" when it's time to change course. - Micro-Deconstruction of Fear: Jonathan explains how to slow down a reactive moment to distinguish between a genuine lack of safety and a familiar "story" generated by past programming. - Acceptance as an Active Choice: How to move beyond "ignoring" or "suppressing" difficult feelings and instead learning to take the "signs of resistance" as vital information. This is a conversation about the intersection of neurobiology and ancient wisdom, providing a toolkit for anyone ready to stop fighting the universe and start handling whatever 2026 brings. We hope you enjoy it, and we hope to see you over on Substack!

In this episode of Adulting With Autism, April is joined by Helene Zupanc and Beth Valdez—licensed professional counselors in Arizona with 25+ years of combined experience—about how to interrupt negative thought loops using simple, personalized mantras that actually feel authentic. Helene and Beth are the co-authors of Sticky Note Mantras: The Art and Science of Choosing Your Thoughts, a practical mental health toolkit built from real therapy sessions: the "one thing" clients needed to remember after they walked out the door. We talk about why the brain gets stuck in repetitive patterns like "I'm not good enough," "I'm not loved," or "I can't," and how the survival brain (including the amygdala) can send false alarms based on old experiences. This conversation includes: How to create mantras that work for autistic and neurodivergent adults (without toxic positivity) Why repetition builds new neural pathways—and what consistency realistically looks like Tools for regulation beyond talk therapy: somatic yoga, sound therapy, and "bottoms‑up" nervous system support How to "catch it, check it, change it" when the spiral starts Self-compassion prompts that don't feel fake—and how gratitude can shift internal dialogue Practical mantra examples like "That's just a brain glitch," "People will people," and "Just don't stand still." If you want mental health strategies that are simple, research-informed, and usable on hard days—this episode delivers. Guests: Helene Zupanc, LPC + Beth Valdez, LPC Book: Sticky Note Mantras: The Art and Science of Choosing Your Thoughts Website: https://stickynotemantras.com Therapy (AZ Telehealth): Available via their website Topics: autism and adulting, neurodivergent mental health, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, trauma, rumination, self-compassion, gratitude practice, mantras, nervous system regulation, somatic tools.

Gayathri Narayanan is the founder of Myndtree and a contemplative guide whose work centers on integrating deep inner inquiry with the realities of modern life. With more than three decades of sustained practice and study, she brings together the wisdom of the Narayana Guru lineage, as transmitted through her own Guru, Nitya Chaitanya Yati, with secular mindfulness and lived inquiry. Her grounding lies in Advaita Vedanta and Yoga, supported by long-term study of classical texts including the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, and key works of Narayana Guru such as Ātmopadeśa Śatakam and Darśanamālā. Over time, her path expanded to include sustained study and practice in Buddhist traditions, with particular depth in Theravada teachings through close study with Gil Fronsdal, as well as engagement with Zen through teachings with Reb Anderson. More recently, she has begun studying Tibetan Buddhism with Anam Thubten.https://www.myndtree.org/

Although mantra chanting is widely practiced today, its depth, rigor, and transformative potential are rarely understood in their true spirit. Along with Shantala Sriramaiah, we explore the deeper science of Vedic mantra practice. Together, they unpack how mantra creates a transformation within you, how Gayatri cultivates clarity in moments of crisis, and how Mrityunjaya helps us develop a healthy relationship with death, not as escape, but as freedom from fear.Episode Highlights:What is a mantra, really?Why does phonetic precision matter?How is mantra different from kirtan?What is the real purpose of the Gayatri Mantra?Does Mrityunjaya Mantra actually protect from death?Timestamps:00:00 - 06:00: Introduction06:00 - 16:30: What is Mantra Chanting?

Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, the nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions.

Phil presents meditation as an ancient practice of awareness, union with God, and transformation.Together, they explore the difference between mindfulness and transcendental (yoga) meditation, why stillness is essential for spiritual perception, and how meditation aligns with Jesus' own teachings on prayer, the inner kingdom, and becoming “one” with God. Phil offers step-by-step guidance on posture, breath, mantra, handling distractions, and receiving meditation as a feminine, receptive flow of grace rather than a forced effort.This episode also addresses common fears around meditation, ego resistance, spiritual ego, emotional release, and discernment—grounding the practice firmly in Christ-centered theology, embodiment, and character transformation. For anyone seeking a deeper experience of God, inner healing, and true at-one-ment, this episode serves as both teaching and invitation.00:00 | Introduction & why meditation matters for spiritual growth03:00 | Phil's background & discovering meditation through pain06:10 | Meditation as prayer, not self-improvement07:20 | God in the present moment & spiritual awareness09:00 | Mindfulness vs transcendental (God-centered) meditation12:50 | Jesus' model of prayer & the Aramaic meaning of “pray”16:30 | Awareness of awareness & inner stillness19:00 | Yoga, atonement, and union with God23:00 | Still mind, pure heart, and scriptural foundations29:40 | Preparing for meditation: time, place, posture34:00 | Harmonizing the body & devotional intent43:10 | “Don't pray to God—pray in God”46:20 | Breath as the gateway to Spirit52:35 | Diaphragmatic breathing & nervous system safety56:00 | Mantra meditation & examples (“Be Still,” “Peace, Be Still”)01:05:30 | Handling intrusive thoughts & ego resistance01:11:50 | Concentration vs meditation: receiving grace01:15:40 | Oneness, transformation, and Christ-consciousness01:23:30 | Obstacles, emotional release, and patience01:31:30 | Discernment, symbolism, and avoiding spiritual ego01:33:30 | Character transformation as the true fruit01:37:15 | Closing reflections & invitation to practice Join the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

Mother Blue Tara is the wrathful aspect of the many emanations of Mother Tara. She is known for her fiercely protective and powerful energies. Call upon her in times when you need deep protection from internal and external obstacles. She is here to blaze through the illusions of the mind, to guide and protect in times of darkness. To connect with her energies, simply recite the mantra, “Om Bhim Tare Vrim Soha”, and let the vibrations flow through your entire being. We will now sit together and chant her mantra 108 times. You are welcomed to join me and chant together, or to sit in silence and receive.
This is a new version of one of our first episodes, that I remade because the sound was a bit harsh and uneven when I started the podcast. I also added a few elements to the script. In this bedtime story, I tell you all about Buddhism: the beliefs and culture of Ancient India; the life of Siddartha Gautama, the historical Buddha; how Buddhism spread in Asia; the differences between various Buddhist traditions (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Zen, Tibetan or Tantric Buddhism...); and I explain a lot of terms that you might have encountered without knowing their full meanings, like Vedas, Karma, Middle Way, Samsara, Tantra and Mantra. #sleep #bedtimestory #asmr #sleepstory #history #buddhism #buddhist Welcome to Lights Out Library Join me for a sleepy adventure tonight.

Hi from our hiatus. This week, we bring you a Minisode about the incomparable Diana Nyad – and the mantra she repeated to herself. For 52h, 54m. On her record-setting swim from Cuba to Florida. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In the episode, we discuss a simple yet potent three-sentence mantra that cuts through our delusions and drops us into a more connected, spacious awareness.
Many parents use bedtime mantras to help their child feel calm and secure at night. In theory, it's a beautiful idea—predictable, soothing language meant to support rest. But what if the words we're using are actually doing the opposite? In this episode, Allison explores a bedtime phrase that's become incredibly common—"you are safe"—and explains why, for some children, especially sensitive or anxious ones, this well-intentioned mantra can unintentionally increase bedtime worry. Allison breaks down how a child's brain processes language at bedtime, why timing and repetition matter, and how certain phrases can shift the brain into "monitoring mode" instead of rest mode. She also shares a personal story that illustrates when reassurance is necessary—and when it's better to let the brain settle without added prompts. You'll learn: Why some bedtime mantras can increase anxiety instead of reducing it How a child's brain interprets language right before sleep When reassurance about safety is helpful—and when it isn't Simple, comforting alternatives to common bedtime phrases How small language shifts can make a big difference at bedtime If bedtime has started to feel harder, or your child seems more anxious at night despite a consistent routine, this episode offers a gentle, practical reframe that may help sleep feel easier again.

This episode of Momplex is all about releasing the pressure of parenting by milestones and trusting our kids' unique timelines. I share how I started Momplex in 2021 as a safe space to admit that while I adore my kids, I wasn't always loving motherhood—and how that honesty became a movement for moms who are tired of guilt and perfectionism. I walk you through my own anxiety when my kids didn't “measure up” on traditional timelines—my middle son's delayed puberty, my daughter's late crawling and hair growth, and how those fears kept me up at night. Through personal stories and what the science actually says, I reframe milestones as ranges, not report cards. I offer mindset shifts and practical tools to help you stop comparing, mute triggering social feeds, and trust that your child—and you—will “get it when you get it.” You're not behind. Neither is your kid. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Renee & Susan reflect on the beginning of a new(ish) year, and the ideas and thoughts they want to bring into 2026. We kick off the new year not with rigid resolutions, but with honesty, compassion, and intention. As they enter their fifth year of podcasting, Renee and Susan acknowledge that January doesn't always feel like a fresh start—especially amid relentless bad news, family pressures, and the emotional weight carried by so many everyday advocates. Instead of traditional New Year's resolutions, the hosts explore the power of mantras: simple truths we can return to when motivation is low and hope feels fragile. Renee shares her personal mantra, "I am capable," reflecting on identity, self-worth, stay-at-home parenting, and reentering the workforce. Susan offers her own grounding reminder, "You're enough", and reframes survival, care work, and showing up imperfectly as meaningful and valuable. The conversation then turns outward, as Susan calls on advocates to recognize their collective power, especially at the local level. From school boards to county commissioners to the North Carolina General Assembly, this episode emphasizes why community action still matters and why special education advocacy must be front and center in 2025. The hosts discuss proven policy solutions, fair pay and training for educators and instructional assistants, and the urgent need to fully implement Leandro recommendations. In true Advocacy Bites fashion, Renee balances hope with sharp accountability, offering a blunt New Year's wish for legislators: give a damn. The episode closes with concrete opportunities to take action, including upcoming public education demonstrations, teacher-led walkouts, and simple ways to practice showing up in community, even when it feels hard.

In the next verse in Śrī Īśopaniṣad (Mantra 5), it says: tad ejati tan naijati tad dūre tad v antike tad antar asya sarvasya tad u sarvasyāsya bāhyataḥ "The Supreme Lord walks, but He does not walk. He is far away, but He is very near as well. He is within everything, and yet He is outside of everything." These verses are given so we cannot "speed read." We have to stop and consider what they mean. So, although we come to the temple to see the Lord—and it is rightly done—we should also know that He is the nearest one to us. Śukadeva Gosvāmī says in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, ātmānam akhilātmānam: "Kṛṣṇa is the soul of our soul." What's more, Kṛṣṇa Himself says in the Bhagavad-gītā, suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām: He is the closest friend—the most dear friend—to every living being. So, when we take to the path of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, Kṛṣṇa will reciprocate according to our surrender to Him. As He says in Bhagavad-gītā (4.11): ye yathā māṁ prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham mama vartmānuvartante manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvaśaḥ That I reciprocate with everyone according to their mood of surrender to Me. So, we call this the 'sweet surrender'—giving up our idea of scarcity, the idea that 'I am the controller,' or the misconception that Kṛṣṇa is something very far away.. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

In this episode, I am joined by Dr Christopher “Hareesh” Wallis, a Sanskritist and scholar-practitioner of Classical Tantra. Christopher recounts his unusual upbringing, early meetings with Osho and Muktananda, early shaktipat experiences, and powerful spiritual awakenings. Christopher traces his educational journey under professors such as Douglas Brooks and Alexis G. J. S. Sanderson, offers his opinions about optimal pedagogy for Sanskrit language study, and questions lineage claims made in Tibetan Buddhism. Christopher also considers the tension between religious faith and academic skepticism, explains why he thinks it is possible to receive spiritual benefit from corrupt gurus, and descries why he believes spiritual awakening leads to a deep trust in the unfolding of life. … Video version: www.guruviking.com Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 00:57 - An unusual family of origin 03:28 - Mother's conversion to Hinduism 03:50 - Meeting Osho and Swami Muktananda 05:17 - Awakening experience at 16 years old 05:55 - Attraction to Tantric Shaivism 07:35 - Academic training and intellectual infatuation 09:00 - Multiple teachers 10:13 - Seeing through intellectual ego 12:57 - Teenage rebellion and psychedelics 14:44 - Love of sci fi and fantasy 17:05 - Siddha yoga shaktipat 18:33 - Gurumayi Chidvilasananda 20:33 - Heart opening shaktipat 24:01 - Saint or psychopath? 28:26 - The guru's shadow 30:18 - Transmission from a disgraced guru 32:25 - No single objective reality 35:32 - No doubts despite guru's flaws 38:18 - Has Christopher missed the point? 39:53 - Parsing subjective certainty 41:55 - A belief but not really 43:21 - Innate intelligence and trusting the unfolding of life 46:50 - Harmonising with the pattern 50:17 - Don't pretend to be more enlightened that you are 51:56 - The same awakening as the Buddha's 54:22 - Waking up out of your tradition 55:32 - Agnosticism about reincarnation 57:29 - BA at Rochester 01:00:53 - Alexis G.

When 49ers rookie cornerback Upton Stout was selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft, his first phone call with the organization went viral. He showed a charisma and passion in that first interaction that has carried over onto the field. Stout will start at nickel Saturday vs. the Seahawks in the NFC divisional round of the NFL playoffs, a far cry from the hills of Western Kentucky where he started making a name for himself. On this episode of "49ers Talk," Matt Maiocco sits down with the determined rookie to reflect on what motivates him to be successful, his biggest adjustment since becoming a professional and what a return of Fred Warner would mean to this team and special season. Matt also joins co-host Jennifer Lee Chan to discuss the news that Fred Warner was officially ruled out for Saturday's playoff game, as well as injury updates on WR Ricky Pearsall's status and other limited players. The duo discuss the impact Warner's presence at practice has had on the team this week, and how Seahawks QB (and former 49ers backup) Sam Darnold's lack of success in big games will follow him throughout his career unless he can turn it around; an apparent oblique injury won't help that cause.--(0:00) Discussion around Fred Warner being ruled out for the divisional round of the NFL playoffs(4:00) Even though he's not going to play, he's going to travel with the team to Seattle -- why Warner being there will positively affect the team(8:00) How Pearsall looks on the practice field, if he plays he won't be 100%, not until his PCL is more healed(10:00) The 49ers are the biggest underdog (+7) of all the divisional playoff games this weekend, they like being in this position(15:00) Upton Stout Interview(20:00) What gave Stout confidence to compete at this level, what did he learn at Western Kentucky to help him achieve that(23:00) How Stout has been quieting doubters his whole career, motivated to earn respect of the league(36:00) Sam Darnold's lack of past success in the playoffs will follow him throughout his career unless he starts winning in big games Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
