Bringing you an extra special Part 2 for today's bonus episode with Jules Hartley. You may have heard of Kundalini yoga from its popularity with celebrities, but you might be less familiar with its culty history. Invented in the late 60s by a guru-turned-cult leader named Yogi Bhajan, Kundalini is an intensive form of yoga that weirdly uses breathing exercises to manipulate people. After its founder died in 2004, one of his followers, Guru Jagat, picked up where he left off. Jagat founded the Ra Ma Institute, which she ran more like a cult than a yoga studio. Our guest today, Jules Hartley, escaped Ra Ma in 2017. She's featured in the HBO docuseries “Breath of Fire” about the cult of Kundalini yoga. Jules is here to tell us about her experience with Guru Jagat, and we'll also get into the media's portrayal of cult survivors. Kundalini has an incredibly dark history that includes child and sexual abuse, so trigger warning this week.

Today is a special episode for THE FULLEST. We were fortunate enough to speak to Kundalini Yoga teacher Shabadpreet, the CEO of RA MA. As you'll hear, the late founder of RA MA Institute, Guru Jagat, had a significant impact on not just the life of Shabadpreet but also Nikki and may also have had a pivotal role in some of our listeners' lives. After Guru Jagat's sudden and unexpected death in 2021, Shabadpreet served as Guru Jagat's Chief of Staff, implementing Guru Jagat's trail-blazing vision and supporting the fruition of RA MA's physical and digital expansion from a wellness start-up to an internationally recognized global phenomenon. In this episode, we learn about the origins of RA MA, the power of Kundalini yoga practices, and the continuation of Guru Jagat's legacy.
Ever since childhood, Katie Griggs has been searching for her purpose in life. When she discovers kundalini yoga, she becomes convinced she's finally found it. She follows her vision and decides to start her own yoga studio in Los Angeles. RA MA Institute attracts celebrities, garners glowing press, and expands into a global yoga empire. But behind the scenes, the woman who now calls herself Guru Jagat isn't nearly as enlightened — or as trustworthy — as she seems.Please support us by supporting our sponsors!Babbel - Save up to 60% off your subscription when you go to Babbel.com/ScampodOSEA - Go to https://oseamalibu.com/ and use CODE: SCAMPOD to get a 10% discountSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In August of 2020, as part of RA MA Institute's Immense Grace women's program, Guru Jagat interviewed Chöying Khandro, a rare holder of two ancient Buddhist oral lineages. Khandro-la is among a few original students who received transmission, as well as permission to start Dakini's Whisper from the His Eminence the Late His Holiness Ninth Khalkha Jetsun Dampa, a recognized reincarnation of the saint Taranatha. In this interview with Guru Jagat, discover the Five Dakinis, literally meaning “sky dweller” or “sky dancer,” and the most sacred aspect of the feminine principle in Tibetan Buddhism.

On August 1st, the world lost a charismatic spiritual teacher and force of nature; Guru Jagat, world-renowned Kundalini teacher and founder of the RA MA Institute for Applied Yogic Science and Technology, passed from this realm. She is survived by her partner, Teg Nam, and cherished by the millions of souls she touched along her incredibly accomplished path. For Jordan, Guru Jagat was a gateway to Kundalini and an inspiration of a modern woman, living fully in her power, weaving ancient technologies with science and channeling wisdom from spiritual leaders worldwide for millennials to have access to. The intention of this re-air is to celebrate her magnetic aura, joyful spirit, and teachings that ring as true today as they did in 2018 when this episode was recorded. Guru Jagat said that her role as a teacher on this planet was that of an artist, helping others connect with their creativity to unlock their inner powers. We hope that, after listening to this conversation, you'll feel called to release your unique gifts into this world too, whatever they may be. We send love to Guru Jagat's family, friends, community, and students, and we hope that this inspiring conversation brings back her powerful & timeless vibrations.

My guest in this episode has so much to share on how to vibrate you in marketing and life. And a gorgeous message in form of song here. Marta Ulbricht is the head of marketing for RA MA Institute for Applied Yogic Science & Technology. She is also a Kundalini Yoga Teacher and energy healer who works with words, sounds, and vibrations to aid her clients in facilitating a deeper connection to a high frequency reality. Marta is not new to sound. Her grandmother who's an opera singer whispered music in her veins. She used to sing and write her own lyrics but felt like she lost her voice for a while. The reconnection, as you'll hear in her story, was beautiful and she's a healer today. Grab a journal because the tips on marketing and sound presence in the second part of the episode come directly from yogic technology.

He was on humira and he keeps having allergic reactions to that family of drugs. Any biohacks you guys know of that specifically help? I know stress triggers it... I was thinking of getting him a Biomat mini or belt... what else? Giving a blanket answer to this question is tough because it ignores everyone's bio-individuality. That said, a good guideline to follow would be, as a first step: give the problem some crutches to lean on. This means giving the inflammatory response a break for a moment so that your gut can soothe itself — at least for long enough to absorb the nutrients you're going to need to begin healing. Eliminating the most obvious food sensitivities like nuts, eggs, dairy, wheat, processed foods, nightshades, etc. Once that's dialed in, go a level up and consider removing high-histamine foods that could be perpetuating the inflammatory cycle. And then, once a little more stable, support detoxification by getting in a light daily sweat, and eating steamed foods that assist the liver, like dandelion, artichoke, beets, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, and gluten-free oats. And all the while, prioritize meditation, sunlight, and lymphatic drainage. A light rebounding session on a Bellicon, or even just doing some jumping jacks on some carpeting can be a big help. To dive deep into all matters colitis, and IBD, someone who'd been a well-kept secret here in LA for several years, but is now out of LA, and entering the online world in a bigger way, is a personal friend of mine, Jordan Kravitz. Jordan was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2015, and after getting handed the pamphlets about all the drugs he'd need from the head of the IBD clinic here at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, Jordan laughed at him and told him to keep his drugs. He then went on an absolutely crazy journey to reverse Crohn's Disease, and today enjoys excellent digestive health, thanks to his unique approach to healing inflammatory gut issues of all kinds. If you'd like to connect with him to learn more, or for one on one coaching, you can check out his website at jordankravitz.com, and use the contact page to get in touch.

Lipofuscin has three constituents: Oestrogen + Iron + PUFAs = LipofuscinIn In other words, the polyunsaturated fats (canola oil, soy oil, corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, fish oil, flax oil etc) we consume in our food (and rub into our skin in the form of moisturisers), the iron we eat from red meat and green vegetables, and the oestrogen our bodies produce naturally combine to form this brown, fatty waste product that clogs up our cells and, as we age, forms liver spots. Where does sunlight fit into this picture? Dr Peat explains that when we’re exposed to UV light, it can cause damage to unsaturated fatty acid molecules in our skin, producing free radicals. Manage your iron intake. This is one of the most important pieces of the age spots puzzle. One way of managing your iron levels is to give blood regularly; there’s evidence that this can even reduce your risk of heart attack and strokes. Donating blood can be especially helpful for men and post-menopausal women, because they do not lose any blood through menstruation. Reduce your intake of PUFAs Increase your intake of vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant) Pay attention to your estrogen levels, for men and women Listen to what Nadine Artemis has to say about the sun Vitamin D app: dminder.ontometrics.com Get Surthrival’s D3+K2 Daylight Concentrate (use code “lifestylist” for 10% off) Quicksilver Scientific also has a great D3+K2 combo Episode 6: The Great Sunshine Swindle with Nadine Artemis 01:55:10 — Mazena asks: Male pattern baldness.

Anybody have any tips? I know it could be a lot of things but I'm open to suggestions so I can pinpoint what's going on. I’ve heard this probably 100 times over the years Like most experimental, and extreme diets, they often work for a period of time, then the body falls out of balance. There has never, ever been a 100% vegan human civilization in recorded history, which is why i call it experimental We don't yet know if it's safe. it would take 2-3 generations of 100% vegan people to breed 100% vegan kids, who then breed with 100% vegan people a few times over to see if its viable In my experience, being vegetarian or vegan is a form of fasting, or cleansing which can be amazing in the short term I prefer a balanced diet and to listen to my body and what it wants, since it is its own living organism, with its own innate intelligence If you do decide to phase out of this diet, try starting with bone broth (no additional animals die to make bone broth) or pastured eggs or wild caught, sustainably sourced fish. or even just oysters. To me, any diet that is deficient in critical nutrients and thus requires that you take supplements to fill the gap, is likely not a natural human diet because that would ot require supplements like b vitamins, vitamin a etc. Study the work of Dr. Weston Price for more info on the natural human diet and nutrient deficiencies Check out next tuesday’s episode: Why You Can't Beat Meat: The Ultimate Carnivore Diet Guide W/ Dr. Paul Saladino Episode 245: Wild Fed: How To Become A Modern Day Hunter-Gatherer w/ Daniel Vitalis *Vegan Trigger Warning Episode 94: Why I'm Not a Vegan - Daniel Vitalis All that said, to me, what trumps diet is avoiding non-native EMF and blue light. circadian biology wins over nutrient biology in my book. get into sync with nature, as nature is where creation’s wisdom lies 02:10:00 — Richard asks: Anyone have personal experience with improving eyesight naturally???

When someone says life stylist what immediately comes to mind? Spiritual pursuits? Biohacking? Those are some of the words that would describe our guest today, life stylist Luke Storey. Luke is a former fashion stylist, musician, model and former addict who has lived more in one life than most people do in 15! And he's here today to share his stories, insights and wisdom on this episode of Awesome Health. In his former life Luke worked with bands like Aerosmith, but today he's a world class biohacker who does speaking engagements, retreats and intensive workshops on spiritual pursuits and healthy living. Join our conversation to hear all the details and some fascinating stories on today's Awesome Health podcast. In this episode of Awesome Health, you'll also hear: Who were the first rock stars to come out as sober? What is the path he has walked his entire life? When did he realize it was time to enter rehab? How he avoids the dogma around different types of "diets". What is the highest compliment a human could receive? And much more! More About Awesome Health with Luke Storey Luke Storey is a former fashion stylist who now helps people style every aspect of their lives from the spiritual to the physical. He spent 17 years in the "Hollywood machine" helping everyone from musicians to actors to celebrities look good for the camera. All the while he pursued spirituality, metaphysics and health in his own life. Three years ago he decided to launch his podcast and retire from the fashion world to start new as a life stylist. He came up with the term life stylist because it's similar to his former work as a fashion stylist except it is curating a different look, practices and principles for someone on a deeper level. I was curious how those two separate worlds collided for him - what led him from one into the other? Luke tells us the story, a very classic hero's journey: he had a rough childhood and experienced trauma and dysfunction in his environment. He says in retrospect it is his greatest gift because it has propelled him into the different elements of personal development he's explored. But it was that abject pain that led him there. As a result of his childhood traumas he developed a lot of pathologies; physically he was malnourished and became addicted to drugs and alcohol. At 19 he moved to Hollywood as a musician and got into the music industry. In one sense he was living a dream life style: he was just out of high school, moved to Hollywood and started hanging out with musicians and playing in bands with his musical heroes. It was exciting and fun. But he was also addicted to drugs and when he got access to some of the more dangerous drugs it got really dark during the following 5 or 6 years. At one point he realized he was facing a painful and imminent dead end of a life. It was then he decided to sober up, and he checked himself into rehab. While in rehab he had a profound spiritual experience that rendered him sober from that day forward (22 years ago). That spiritual transformation was so profound he became obsessed with understanding it. He also began exploring recovery and how its different elements played out in every area of his life from sex to money to relationships, etc. He looked deep into all of his false coping mechanisms and behaviors. From there he was quickly thrust into the Hollywood fashion scene. He was only a few months clean and sober when he was hired by Aerosmith's stylist, an old friend of his, to be her assistant. Aerosmith was public about their sobriety and were in the midst of an enormous comeback back then. They were the first inspiration for him, and he took that inspiration forward into his fashion career. Fashion Styling by Day, Spiritual Pursuits by Night Celebrities and artists would later come to him to be styled, he says to them it may have just been playing with clothes but to him it was a heart-based service. He recalls his intention was more broad and deep than picking the right shoes for someone. Luke attributes his success to his ability to access empathy, compassion and relatability and helped his clients to feel safe. He laughingly describes how his fittings were probably very different than a lot of others! He would bring someone in and give them green juice and talk to them about meditation and medicinal mushrooms. So it was a double life in a sense, but he never pushed his beliefs on anyone else. However, if they asked for help or there was a window of opportunity he would share. For the most part he lived it on the inside and after work he'd run off and hang out with his sober buddies, do his recovery work and go to retreats, and dive deeply into meditation and the like. His earlier point about addiction made me curious so I asked him how did addiction arise for him? Was there a hole was he trying to fill or was there another reason for addiction in his life? Luke shares he was sexually abused a few times when he was very young, 5 or 6 years old, and then later when he was older around 11 or 12. When it happened the first time he felt immensely ashamed and isolated because he didn't know how to tell the adults in his life. Immediately following that first incidents of abuse he had lots of behavioral problems at school: he picked on other kids and got kicked out a lot. He lived in northern California at the time, where a lot of the hippies from the Haight-Ashbury culture had also moved so there was an abundance of drugs available. He basically self-medicated to get through school and handle his feelings from being sexually abused. But there were also a lot of consequences from that self-medication, including legal ones like going to jail at 14. Reaching Rock Bottom and Rising Up After his heartfelt share, I asked Luke to tell us what his breaking point was: what made him say he needed to turn his life around? There were some drawn out experiences as well as a couple of major points. The more drawn out experiences were being addicted to crack and heroin. He says there's no way to go on a crack run and wake up the next day saying you are fine, you don't have a problem. The amount of shame that goes along with it is too great, the people you are with and the environments you are in just contribute to that shame, too. That began to wear him down. And being addicted to heroin is no party either. The periods he was able to stay off of heroin became shorter and shorter. The first time he realized he was physically addicted he then went off of it for about a year, but the times in between using soon became shorter. Each time he'd say he'd do it just this once and then he'd be hooked again. Then he'd get off and be clean for 9 months, before using again. Then it would be six months in between using and then a few months and then a few weeks. Luke continues by describing the two pivotal moments that helped him turn his life around including a mushroom trip and what finally convinced him to enter rehab. You'll hear those two moments as well as how he got into biohacking and his transition into and out of vegetarianism. We wrap up the show with a discussion about what he suggests doing if you are struggling and want help, and what he would like to be remembered for.

You deserve unconditional love – and you deserve to love unconditionally. As human beings, we crave this from the moment we’re born, but our minds and our domestic conditioning tend to hold us back. The good news? We’re also born with everything we need to achieve it. So, today, I invite you to join me in a powerfully transformative workshop, recorded live from the RA MA Institute in Venice, on how to use the power of mantra, meditation, pranayam (breath), Kundalini yoga, and intention to catalyze your personal growth and expansion. In practicing these ancient techniques, you will learn how to create and widen the critical gap of separation between the egoic instincts and the calculating, negatively biased mind; you will learn how to access your true soul identity hidden behind the false self and how to live a life motivated by the power of unconditional love. So, are you ready to break free of the judgemental mind to find your soul power? Topics Discussed In This Episode: Identifying the thoughts and behaviors that block us from the life we crave and deserve Using intention to overcome the resentment, fear, or shame that’s blocking you from experiencing love The quantum physics of perception, reality, and spirituality Stillness: the rare but valuable experience of sitting with presence The erroneous belief that our body = our self You don’t need to take your animal self so seriously – and you also don’t need to fight with it Suffering in the self-created delusion that life is out to get you How far we can go in one human lifetime, with the right tools Trying to change our experience using the wrong power source The many, many different paths to spiritual growth The freeing experience that there’s something greater It’s brave to access emotion There’s transformation in applying universal truths More about this episode.

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”Good ol’ Shakespeare wrote these words, perhaps not knowing how spiritually profound and necessary they would become to the hearts of those who needed to hear it.Centuries later, Luke Storey was fortunate enough to share this sentiment - and joyfully elaborate upon them - at the world-famous RA MA Institute of Kundalini Yoga in New York City.On October 27, 2018, Luke led an evening of reflection, growth, and practice at RA MA diving deep into issues like surviving profound loss, sharpening our own spiritual practice, and even dealing with social media trolls.In this episode, we’ll all get to take part in the magic of that evening in that electrifying space. Topics Discussed In This Episode: How to identify and dissolve your blockages Surviving and navigating profound loss of a loved one How to feel love for (and see yourself in) every single person you see Entry-level love Would you rather experience love or be right? How Luke dealt with his latest social media troll A game of hot potato pain Block ’n’ bless - on Instagram, and in life Going through the feeling (not avoiding) is the fastest way to get through the feeling Painting with poop-colored paint: our addiction to finding fault in (and arguing with) the present reality The inevitably of suffering - and our ability to choose how much we want to suffer If God is benevolent and kind, why is there so much pain here on Earth? Releasing your negativity bias All that’s required to wake up: admitting that you don’t know as much as you think you know Why we are addicted to the comfort of our own pain If you can’t find God, guess who moved? When you’re experiencing grief, you must feel it fully so that you can move past it and still be of service to the folks who are still here Finding solutions instead of fighting reality Making space between the Mind and the Thought - and living in that gap It’s not what’s happening that is making you suffer; it is YOUR OPINION about what is happening that is making you suffer. The ego is clever, but not wise If you don’t see God in all, you don’t see God at all. - Yogi Bhajan More about this episode.

Jordan chats with Kundalini yoga pioneer Guru Jagat, a direct student of Yogi Bhajan (the man who brought Kundalini Yoga to the West), the founder of the world-renowned radiant RA MA Institute for Applied Yogic Science and Technology and the author of Invincible Living: The Power of Yoga, The Energy of Breath, and Other Tools for a Radiant Life. Her book changed Jordan’s life, as did the practice of Kundalini. And through this conversation… we think your life will be changed too -- #nojoke. #exceptwedojokeinthisepisode, because Guru Jagat is hilarious. As Shaman Durek told us in last week’s episode, spirituality does NOT have to be serious and/or boring. Ever. After meeting Yogi Bhajan in 2002, Guru Jagat was launched onto her path as a Kundalini yoga teacher. She has since emerged as a leading global figure helping to create, delineate, and refine the new feminine matriarchal archetype, sharing how we can use these ancient yogic technologies to step into our power and set our soul on fire. We know you will enjoy this episode as much as we have, and cannot wait to hear your thoughts. You can visit Guru Jagat at the Venice location of RA MA, in NYC, and in Mallorca! She is also going on a European tour this summer and there is a chance that Jordan may join her for a portion of it, so stay tuned! Women supporting women is what we are all about. We’d like to thank Four Sigmatic for sponsoring the show. These magical, medicinal mushrooms are a big food health trend right now (#OnShrooms), probably because they’re packed full of adaptogens, superfoods, and other things that are super good for you! Four Sigmatic is always releasing new products (like their Mushroom Hot Cacao or Mushroom Mocha with Chaga), and each one is incredibly delicious. You can go to FourSigmatic.com/BLONDE to get 15% off of your order. Jordan also wants to tell you about something she’s been loving lately: Woo for Play, an incredible, all-natural, coconut oil-based lube. We love it for SO many reasons, but our favorite thing is that it empowers women to bring a sexual health product into the bedroom (without making the bedroom any less fun) – and it’s so good for your body that it’s literally edible! You can get 10% off your Woo if you use the promo code BLONDE at WooForPlay.com.
