In this episode of the Becoming You podcast, I welcome Navjit Kandola, spiritual advisor, educator, speaker, filmmaker, full-time mum, and the Director of the Nizhoni School for Global Consciousness. Talk about your experience attending the Nizhoni School for Global Consciousness. Navjit: I started off with traditional education and ended up studying law in England. I knew I was expected to become a barrister and have an arranged marriage. I didn't find the future spelled out for me all that exciting. As an empath, I was interested in telepathy, past lives, mind over matter, the purpose for my existence, and how it all works. And I wanted to be of service all over the world. I came across a book by Chris Griscom called Ecstasy Is a New Frequency which talks about the soul level of conversation, having a higher self, listening to that intuition, and laying out a kind of a map in consciousness. That's when I knew I found my teacher. Why do so many of us live in our heads? Navjit: If you think about it, a lot of people are in a low-grade fight-or-flight mode, which falls into heightened awareness. Heightened awareness is about survival. When we're pumping that adrenaline and going through those cycles of cortisol, the body is attempting to get us to safety. We like the feeling of being in our minds because it makes us feel safe and in control and always looking forward in an attempt to control what's coming. The thing is, though, the body can only live in the now. How do we connect the dots between our body and our mind? Navjit: Slow down. The speed of the mind is very different from the speed of the body and the speed of emotions. We know our minds well enough to become enmeshed in what we call the inner critic. Why does somatic healing, or disassembling unproductive constructs in our subconscious to the benefit of our bodies, work so well? Navjit: Some part of us is replaying being in that cage and this energy is compelling our bodies. It leads to things like bad posture. We're totally unaware that we're following some deep, unforgotten memory or conclusion or belief. Somatic healing takes us back to that state, slows down the framerate, and allows us to pinpoint the instincts that were driving us in those little moments; not intellectually, but somatically and emotionally. One of the things that I loved as a result of working with you is learning not just to listen, but to trust my body, and to experience change as slow as I needed to instead of forcing it. Navjit: That's so true. When we are struggling and want to heal, there is of course a desire to get it done as fast as possible. What we forget is to include the body which is going to be processing all of that. It may not be ready for a full liquid diet or to eat only vegetables or to cut out all sugar. For listeners who are struggling to connect with their bodies, what would be some good, basic starting points to start forming a connection? Navjit: One exercise I like if I'm really anxious or my mind is racing is curling up. Curl up and bring your head down to your knees and hold yourself tight. Let yourself be there until you feel an impulse from your body to uncurl. When you feel that voice saying you want to uncurl, do so super, super slowly. If your mind is thinking that it isn't working, you should slow it down even more until it barely feels like you're moving. Pro tip: Instead of continuing to uncurl with your upper body, keep it going by uncurling your legs and feet. Stand up and put your feet on the ground, feeling that you can put the weight of your body on the Earth. This exercise will bring you back into your body. It's going to take time; but not that much time. Learn more about Navjit Kandola: Her website: www.TenderLogic.com Follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/navjitkandola/

Welcome to the very first episode of the Mother’s Quest podcast! I am so honored to bring you this conversation with Navjit Kandola. Navjit is a spiritual adviser, educator, speaker, filmmaker, full-time mom, and the director of the Nizhoni School for Global Consciousness. Navjit works with clients to heal subconscious wounds, release anxiety and strain, identify habits that spiral into negative behaviors, and unblock stagnant energy in relationships and projects. It felt right to have my first conversation on the podcast with Navjit because she was one of the first people I reached out to after I decided to launch Mother’s Quest. I found her through Danielle LaPorte’s website. Danielle, another profoundly spiritual mother, who is also an entrepreneur, author and poet, is a long-time friend of Navjit’s and refers to Navjit as a masterful soul sister who is lucid as a diamond. I determined I needed some of that guidance and reached out to Navjit for a phone session. I proceeded to tell her about my desire to embark on my own hero’s journey and all my hopes and dreams for Mother’s Quest. She helped me think about the metaphor I was choosing and encouraged me to make it my own...to hold a vision for a journey that could include more connection and ease than the typical one found in epic stories. Those words stayed with me and have been a guide as I have gone through the ups and downs of birthing my new venture and laying a foundation for the Mother’s Quest community. More recently, I reached out to Navjit again, distraught with fear and sadness in the wake of the election and consumed by self-doubt in the days leading up to this podcast launch. I got to experience firsthand how Navjit’s healing presence could help me tap into the wisdom of my inner child, a term she refers to in this interview. It was a powerful and transformative experience and one that I wrote about the next day on a blog post that I will include in the show notes. I share all this because this first conversation has a different tone than many of the episodes that follow. It is a deep dive into spirituality and consciousness. And, if these are topics you don’t typically gravitate to, I encourage you to stay with it. Navjit talks about being grateful for those magical moments when we’re present and connected with ourselves, our children, and with nature. She shares how she lives her E.P.I.C. life when she can shift her mindset from a place of scarcity and stress to a place of openness and abundance. It feels like the world is a very different place than the one it was when Navjit and I first recorded this episode. But, the concepts she talks about feel more needed and relevant than ever. Topics discussed in this episode: The importance of being present, and truly seeing and hearing your child How an E.P.I.C. life comes where nature meets magic Amplifying the moments that take your breath away. Navjit breaks down how to notice and bring more of those moments into your life. How our bodies respond to how we feel and what we think about ourselves Abundance is a much better place to start something from than scarcity Mindset matters more than anything else in transforming your life.

Welcome to this introductory episode of the Mother’s Quest podcast. This solocast will give you a preview of what to expect in this twelve week season and reveal the stories behind Mother’s Quest E.P.I.C. framework, the podcast logo and the mantra that closes each show. This solocast, and the podcast that it officially kicks off, is a birthday present to myself. This milestone birthday, on December 1st, 2016, and the reflective and transformative experiences in the months preceding it, inspired me to start my quest and this podcast. For the first time in my life, I have the desire to create and share publicly something deeply personal; to use and share my voice; to commit to something I am calling my E.P.I.C. life; and to build a community to support me and other mothers along the way. In the episodes that will follow, I interview other mothers to learn their words of wisdom. But this episode is an opportunity for me to use my own voice and share some lessons I’ve learned since the moment I decided to cross the threshold and begin living my E.P.I.C. life. Topics discussed in this episode: How attending a creative workshop hosted by Elizabeth Gilbert last year began a process of self-reflection and helped me to start dreaming The mission behind Mother’s Quest, and what it means to live an E.P.I.C. life. How two birds that got trapped inside my home became the metaphor that sparked my journey. Kids are always listening to what we say, to the “seeds” that we plant and nurture in them. And, we are in a reciprocal relationship with our children where we both learn and grow together. It’s the journey and not the destination that matters the most. Synopses of the first three episodes of the podcast The first season of the Mother’s Quest podcast is dedicated to my friend Leslie Fischer, who passed away last summer from pancreatic cancer. How the inspiration of her life crystallized a Mother’s Quest mantra that will close each episode.
