למה כל כך קשה לנו לשנות הרגלים? איך קורה שאנחנו מוצאים את עצמנו חוזרים על אותם דפוסים, למרות שאנחנו יודעים שהם לא משרתים אותנו?בשיחה זו, נצלול לעומק המושג "טאפס" (Tapas) מתוך היוגה סוטרה של פטנג'לי - המרכיב הראשון והחיוני ב"קריאה יוגה", היוגה של הפעולה. נגלה מדוע מאמץ מכוון הוא המפתח לא רק לשינוי תזונתי או להתחלת פעילות גופנית, אלא לשינוי עמוק של החיים כולם.מה תלמדו בסרטון:תרגול מדיטציה חוויתי: נתחיל בתרגול מודרך (כ-15 דקות) כדי להרגיש את רעיון המאמץ באופן ישיר.מאמץ (Tapas): נלמד לשנות את הגישה שלנו למאמץ ולראות בו סימן שאנחנו בדרך הנכונה לצמיחה.לימוד עצמי (Svadhyaya): נבין איך המאמץ מאפשר לנו לחקור את עצמנו לעומק.התמסרות (Ishvara Pranidhana): נגלה כיצד אחרי המאמץ מגיעה פעולה ללא מאמץ, מתוך זרימה ושליטה.ויתור ככוח: נפרש מחדש את המושג "ויתור" כפעולה אקטיבית שדורשת מאמץ ומובילה לחופש.הצטרפו אלינו למסע שבו נלמד לחבק את המאמץ, להבין את כוחו, ולהשתמש בו כדי לעצב את החיים שאנחנו באמת רוצים לחיות.---------------------------------

Do you speak to yourself the way you speak to a friend?In this episode, you'll be invited to gently explore the way you treat yourself—especially during moments of failure, doubt, or pressure. It's a powerful reminder that self-compassion is not weakness; it's wisdom in action.The conversation centers around the contrast between self-criticism and self-kindness, especially for teachers, facilitators, or anyone in a leadership role. You'll learn how the voice of the inner critic often disguises itself as motivation, but usually leads to burnout, disconnection, or shame. Instead, the episode highlights self-kindness as a skill—a grounded, conscious act that fuels resilience and real presence.From a yogic lens, this is the practice of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Svadhyaya (self-study). From a neuroscience view, it's about regulating your nervous system to create safety and clarity. And from a practical level, it's about building a relationship with yourself that is rooted in respect, care, and steady truth.This episode will leave you reflecting on how you lead, love, and live—from within.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:44 Self-Criticism vs Self-Kindness00:04:16 Ahimsa and the Inner Voice00:06:48 Inner Punishment vs Inner Presence00:08:58 Leadership Through Self-Compassion00:11:07 Svadhyaya and Regulating the Nervous System00:13:35 Presence Over Perfection00:16:07 Leading from Self-Kindness00:18:44 Breath and Mantra Practice00:21:04 Reflective Prompts and Closing-------—-------—-

What's really keeping you stuck—fear of regret or fear of change? In this powerful episode, the emotional journey of letting go reaches its final stage. It explores the tension between attachment and freedom, and regret versus relief—those final moments of decision when you're standing at a crossroads.Attachment feels safe because it's familiar, even when it's no longer helping us grow. Freedom feels light and open but can be scary because it invites change and uncertainty. When we let go—whether of a role, a relationship, or a routine—we often fear regret. But what usually follows is a sense of relief, clarity, and renewed energy.This episode combines insights from neuroscience and yoga philosophy, especially Aparigraha (non-attachment) and Ishvarapranidhana (surrender to something greater), offering real tools to navigate the fear of change. You'll be invited to reflect on what you're clinging to, and what you might gain by letting it go—even if it's uncomfortable at first.Let this episode be the gentle push you need to move toward more space, more ease, and more self-trust.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:20 Attachment vs. Freedom00:05:29 Nervous System and Change00:08:43 Yogic Lens: Aparigraha00:10:47 Letting Go as a Life Practice00:14:24 Living in the Present00:18:53 Fear of Regret vs. Relief00:23:36 Svadhyaya & Self-Study00:25:06 Ishvarapranidhana: Trust in the Unknown00:26:26 Practice and Mantra00:28:00 Conscious Decision Making00:29:48 Closing Reflections—-------—-------—-

Setting a boundary can be one of the most loving things we do for ourselves—and also one of the hardest. Even when we know it's right, the act of saying no or asking for space can stir up fear, guilt, doubt, or grief. It can feel messy. Our voice might shake. And afterward, we're often left questioning ourselves for doing something that goes against deeply ingrained patterns.In this gentle and personal episode of The Blooming Spirit Podcast, Nola Bloom explores the emotional process of holding boundaries through the lens of yoga. With honesty and heart, she shares reflections from her own journey and the teachings that continue to support her in breaking old cycles.This episode includes:

What if your pride is holding you back from growing into who you're meant to become? This episode explores the emotional tug-of-war between pride and humility—and how these internal forces show up when we're faced with tough decisions, like whether to keep pushing forward or finally let go.Pride can give us confidence, but it can also isolate us, especially when it turns into fear of failure or needing to “look strong.” Humility, on the other hand, isn't about weakness—it's about being honest with ourselves, even when it's uncomfortable.We also dive into identity vs. disorientation—what happens when we let go of a role or relationship that once defined us. It can feel like losing a part of who we are, but it's often the first step toward finding clarity and creating something new.With reflections from yoga philosophy and neuroscience, this episode invites you to slow down, get real with yourself, and ask the hard questions—so you can meet the version of you that's ready to emerge.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:01:33 Pride vs. Humility00:05:52 Neuroscience and Pride00:07:02 Yogic Lens: Aparigraha and Ishvarapranidhana00:08:07 Reflection Practice00:08:51 Identity vs. Disorientation00:10:13 Ego Death and Freedom00:10:52 Self-Inquiry and Svadhyaya00:14:15 Mantra: I Am Becoming00:14:24 Integration and Reflection00:16:23 Preview of Next Episode—-------—-------—-

Why is it so hard to admit when we're wrong? Why does vulnerability feel so uncomfortable? This episode explores the deep connection between ego, pride, shame, and the fear of being seen. Michael shares insights on why people struggle to admit mistakes, how societal norms shape our behaviors, and how the nervous system reacts to feelings of embarrassment or defensiveness.From a yogic perspective, concepts like Aparigraha (non-attachment), Svadhyaya (self-study), and Ishvara Pranidhana (surrendering the ego) offer tools to help navigate these emotions. The episode also dives into neuroscience, explaining how the brain's fear response can hijack our ability to stay open and present. By understanding these mechanisms, we can learn to shift our mindset, embrace humility, and create more meaningful connections.If you've ever struggled with admitting fault, felt the need to "save face," or wanted to break free from the fear of being wrong, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tools for personal growth and self-acceptance.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:00 Why We Struggle to Admit When We're Wrong00:06:00 The Role of Ego and Pride in Defensiveness00:10:00 How Shame and Embarrassment Affect Us00:14:00 The Nervous System's Response to Vulnerability00:18:00 Why We Fear Being Seen and Making Mistakes00:22:00 The Hidden Costs of Always Being Right00:27:00 Yogic Perspectives on Letting Go of Ego00:31:00 Practical Tools for Embracing Humility and Growth00:35:00 Closing Thoughts and Reflections—-------—-------—-Michael Henri's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/ Going Pro Yoga's Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/goingproyoga/—-------—-------—-Other Mentions:Ep# 112: The Nervous System and The Polyvagal Theory—-------—-------—Tags: ego, vulnerability, pride, shame, embarrassment, fear of being wrong, authenticity, yoga philosophy, neuroscience, nervous system, self-acceptance, self-growth, personal development, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, admitting mistakes, humility, self-reflection, letting go

Episode 6. Eyal Shifroni is among the most senior Iyengar Yoga teachers in Israel. His journey in Iyengar Yoga began in 1982, and since then, he has been studying, teaching, and writing about the Iyengar method. In 1988, he went to Pune for the first time, where he studied directly from Yogacharya BKS Iyengar. Eyal is active in the Iyengar Yoga Association of Israel. He conducts teacher training courses and actively participates in the certification process. He has also written 8 books on Iyengar Yoga. His first book, “A Chair for Yoga,” was internationally acclaimed, and is also the reason why some practitioners from the Iyengar Yoga community affectionately call him a "Chairman". His recent book, “Yoga in Nature and Natural Props for Yoga,” is a personal exploration of the Yoga asana practice with natural props. Eyal has also translated two of B.K.S. Iyengar's books into Hebrew: "The Tree of Yoga" and "Light on Pranayama." In this episode of the podcast, we explore the three major practices that define any spiritual path; why the world leaders should study Yoga; and how to find the "natural Yoga props" and use them in your practice. Eyal also shares his impressions from his first visit to Pune, and what Svadhyaya, the study of the Self, means personally for him. Currently, Eyal teaches at his school, the Iyengar Yoga Center of Zichron-Ya'akov, in Israel, and conducts Yoga workshops in Israel and around the world.

The focused diligent practice of Yoga is call Abhyasa and within that, we are practicing Vairagya, which is letting go of sensory perception and observation. It becomes a detachment to what is observed or seen arising as a result of practice. The goal of practicing Yoga is to reach a state of Nirodha. Nirodha is to stop, restrain, still, the removal and the cessation of.Kaya Nirodha – Physical StillnessPrana Nirodha – Energetic StillnessCitta Vritti Nirodha – Mental StillnessWhat happens when stillness is achieved? The self rests within itself. The “I-ness” of you recognised itself. Samadhi is a separation from Prakriti and wakens to it as Purusha.What happens when stillness isn't achieved? Well, the witness miss-identifies with the thoughts, emotions, images, sensations and other mind-stuff. Prakriti. Patanjali has two solutions:Kriya Yoga – Tapas, SvaDhyaya, Isvara Pranidhana or Ashtanga Yoga – Yamas, Niyamas, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, SamadhiKriya Yoga is said to be for those who are not seeking the highest Samadhi. Ashtanga Yoga is said to be for those seeking full liberation from the suffering of existence. Either way, the purpose is to practice and minimise the Kleshas – Mental Emotional Afflictions which are said to be at the root of why we suffer and why we are subjected to ongoing Karmic action or reaction.Avidya – IgnoranceAsmita – EgotismRaga – RagaDvesa – Aversion, resistance Abinivesha – Fear of loss, change and deathOur job is to develop our Viveka, discernment to recognise our own ignorance of the wandering mind (Avidya). How we misidentify with being more than, less than, or stuck in a limited unhealthy ego self (Asmita). To wake up to craving, yearning and chasing something more pleasurable (Raga). Or to what we are avoiding or resisting (Dvesa). And ultimately what we are truly afraid of (Abinivesha).This week we will focus on Nirodha to observe the unnecessary movements we take with the physical, energetic and mental bodies. Looking into why we fidget, move, tremble, itch, and notice our wandering mind. To look with a clear lens to what is asking for us to wake up to.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here. To support Zephyr Yoga Podcast, donate here. Hosted on Acast.

The last few week of practices focusing on the Elements and the Doshas has brought us to take a closer look at our vital energy called Prana. Like a candle in a pot, we can draw on the Gheranda Samhita for a deeper understanding of how we practice. Using the object as a representation of our embodiment, the vessel is our body that holds the flame, wax and light.Prana – FlameTejas – Light emanating Ojas – resource that fuels the flamePrana is linked to Vata Dosha as it is the life force that stimulates and moves the other two Doshas. Ojas is linked to Kapha Dosha as it fuels the life force with its nutrient rich wax through our diet, rest and care. Tejas is linked to Pitta Dosha which shows our radiance, our energetic expression, our charisma.In the Gheranda Samhita it states the 5 Stages of Prana.ActivationChurnConsolidateIgniteDirectInspired by a Buddhist teaching on the embodiment of our life force, they see issues with the human condition as four vessels that we are consistently working on like potters; Closed Vessel, Dirty Vessel, Tilted Vessel, Leaky Vessel. We become the Yogi potter as we practice to mend, re-shape, clean out and repair as we put ourselves in the kiln of our Yoga practice. The desired heat in practice is Tapas, the heat for positive change. As we understand ourselves more, Svadhyaya, which vessel we identify with and bespoke our practice to promote healing, to inspire ourselves and transform. So our practice is one to first activate, then churn the Prana around unblocking and dissolving obstructions. With a stronger body and control of the Bandhas, we can consolidate the Prana, then ignite the Prana to burn brighter and direct it to either higher states of consciousness or our duties and responsibilities in our day as a result of practice.Closed/Upside Down VesselUnable to hold content or receive.Closed mind and heart. Can't communicate. Not open to hearing or looking at source of problem.Ignorant of themselves and how they affect others.Dirty VesselDisturbed by physical, emotional and energetic toxicity.Symbolic of prior conditioning of past experiences – Samskaras – which interferes with one's ability to see, think and act clearly.Whatever is put into vessel it gets contaminated. Tilted VesselCan't fill to capacity. Distorted or tilted view of themselves and others.Blame themselves or others for current situation.Decreased ability to take in the teaching that might help them. Leaky VesselLet's valuable content escape. They can hear the teachings, understand their importance, but get distracted not being able to hold attention to move in a positive way.Choices dissipates the energy and is wasted on unhelpful thoughts, speech, behaviour and actions.TV, Social Media, News, Emails, etc contribute to this leakage.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

On episode 47 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast,  I delve into the profound yogic principle of svadhyaya, which translates to self-study. Svadhyaya isn't merely a theoretical concept; for me, it's been a cornerstone emphasizing the deep significance of self-reflection, introspection, and personal study throughout my spiritual journey.I share six practices/techniques for self study, which can lead to profound insights.Vinyasa Yoga:My experience with vinyasa yoga has taught me that it's more than a series of postures. It's a poetic dance of breath, movement, and keen awareness that evokes introspection. As I transition from one asana to another, I consistently confront the intricate layers of my body and spirit. This isn't just a physical discipline for me; it's a transformative pathway into svadhyaya, where I've unearthed deep insights into my thought processes, emotions, and intrinsic nature.Meditation Practice:Through meditation, I've been able to dive deep into the tranquil depths of my mind. Whether I practice mindfulness or focus on specific thoughts, meditation has been a wellspring of clarity and emotional balance, shedding light on my ever-evolving patterns and feelings.Wearing a Biometric Device:In embracing modern technology, I've found that biometric devices serve as invaluable tools for self-study. These devices, like the Whoop Strap I wear, have given me a data-driven reflection of my physical well-being, daily rhythms, and emotional states.Journaling:In my youth journaling has been a canvas, capturing my thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Each entry acts as a portal, letting me revisit moments, understand recurring themes in my life, and process complex emotions.Psychotherapy/Counseling:Through my sessions in NLP counseling, I've been able to navigate deeper into my psyche. These professional engagements have helped me unpack past experiences, current behaviors, and future aspirations, offering nuanced perspectives on my motivations and fears.Asking for Feedback:I've always believed in the power of feedback. Listening to others' perceptions, compared against my self-view, has provided a holistic perspective on my journey.  When I started teaching yoga, I asked for valuable feedback on my teaching methods and style from advanced teachers.  Their insights were very helpful in my evolution. Join me in this episode as I share my personal voyage into svadhyaya, revealing the pathways I've taken to understand my strengths, weaknesses, patterns, and deep-rooted motivations. After all, the journey into oneself is perhaps the most enriching, shaping our well-being, personal growth, and the essence of mindful living.To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and

Shine a light on your forgotten self.

Svadhyaya; self study. When you practice svadhyaya you become more introverted and less impulsive and begin looking for the answers within.

Bonjour et bienvenue dans le podcast Ecoute le Yoga !  Vaste entreprise qu'est celle d'apprendre à se connaître.

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   This week I'm talking Yamas and Niyamas. Now obviously I am just skimming the surface with this podcast.  The philosophy that holds the foundation of the yoga practice is everything.  We cannot hold a “steady comfortable pose” if we are scattered in the mind. If are spewing resentment instead of gratitude. If are not upholding the truth that lives in our own hearts.   The (8) Limbs of Yoga are powerful benchmarks that hold me to my truth every single day. The Yamas and the Niyamas spell out the 10 “code of ethics” are valuable for an awakened existence.   Yamas are the attitudes towards others and the world around you. Ahimsa or non-violence: Compassion for all living things Satya or truthfulness: Commitment to the truth Asteya or non-stealing: Not taking anything that has not been freely givenBramacharya or non-lust: Merging with the One Aparigraha or non-possessiveness:  Non grasping     Niyamas are how you treat yourself or your attitude towards yourself. Saucha - cleanliness Santosha - contentment  Tapas - burning passion Svadhyaya - study of the sacred text and of one's self Isvarapranidhama - Celebration of the Divine.   These principles are the backbone of this practice.

Self-study, study of sacred texts this is the definition of the 4th Niyama, Svadhyaya. As we uncover this personal observance the take away is self love, self care and making time to get to know the single most important person in your life, YOU!

211: Früher bin ich regelrecht durch mein Leben gestürzt - habe meine To-Do´s abgearbeitet und mich vor allem durch mein Tun gespürt. Hab ich viel geschafft, war ich zufrieden mit mir. Vielleicht kennst Du das auch aus Deinem Leben. Du bist im Funktionier-Modus unterwegs, reagierst und handelst blind, unbewusst, reaktionär, gespeist aus der Quelle von Deinen Erfahrungen, Deinen Mustern und Prägungen. Und dieses unbewusstes Verhalten hält Dich in Deiner "Und-täglich-grüßt-das-Murmeltier-Schleife" und Du hast das Gefühl, es gibt kein Entrinnen. Genau so ging es mir auch. Erst als mich der Stress im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes zu Fall gebracht hatte und ich für Monate rein körperlich gar nicht mehr funktionieren konnte, begann ich, mich selbst tief zu reflektieren. In der Yoga-Philosophie gibt es ein wunderbares Wort dafür: Svadhyaya, das bedeutet, sich selbst zu studieren, zu beobachten und dadurch Zugang zum eigenen inneren Kern zu erlangen. Sva bedeutet deine Seele, dein Selbst. Adhyaya bedeutet Studium. Es geht bei Svadhyaya also um nichts weniger als die Kunst der Selbsterforschung. Das heißt jedoch nicht, sich ständig wie ein Brummkreisel um sich selbst zu drehen und permanente Selbstbeschau zu betreiben. Für mich bedeutet es, immer wieder innezuhalten, mich und mein Handeln zu reflektieren und abzugleichen, ob ich noch auf dem für mich richtigen Pfad bin. Mein eigener LifeCompass ist dabei mein roter Faden, an dem ich mich orientieren kann. Und natürlich bedeutet Selbstreflexion: Dir die richtigen Fragen zu stellen!! Das bringt Dich im Leben wie eine Rakete

147: Diese Podcast-Folge ist Teil von meiner yogischen Philosophie Reise durch Patanjali's Yoga Sutren. In dieser Folge widmen wir uns intensiv dem 4. Niyama „Svadhyaya“, was übersetzt so viel heißt wie „das Selbst studieren“, „Selbstreflexion“ oder „über uns selbst zu meditieren“. Ein traditioneller Weg dahin ist das Lesen und Studieren von spirituellen Texten. Dadurch wird unserer Lebensweise, unserem Sein und unserer Seele ein Spiegel vorgehalten und wir können uns besser kennen und verstehen lernen. Aber auch moderne Methoden der Selbstreflexion sind Ausdruck der Praxis von Svadhyaya wie z. B. Tagebuch schreiben, Coaching, Therapie und Heilungsarbeit. Diese innere Arbeit dient der Selbstkenntnis und Selbstreflexion. Uns selbst und unseren Geist in der Tiefe verstehen und kennenzulernen, ist die Basis und das Ziel des Yoga. Svadhyaya - Selbststudium kann auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen stattfinden. Auf der Ebene des Geistes, indem wir uns mit dem Inhalt und der Qualität unseres Geistes beschäftigen: Was ist der Zustand meines Geistes? Wie ist die Qualität meiner Gedanken? - Distanz zu unserem Geist zu gewinnen und den Geist zu objektifizieren ist Ziel der Yogapraxis. Reflexion auf der Ebene der Handlungen: Warum tue ich Dinge in der Form, wie ich sie tue? Handle ich aus mir heraus, oder aufgrund meines Glaubensmusters und meiner familiären Prägungen? Reflexion über unsere Stärken und Schattenseiten: Welche Dinge fallen mir leicht? Worin bin ich besonders gut? Was sind meine Schwächen und Schattenseiten? Sich diesen Fragen zu stellen und sich selbst gegenüber, ehrlich zu sein, fordert Mut und geistige Offenheit. In diesem Podcast schauen wir uns an, wie du den Antworten zu diesen Fragen näher kommen kannst. Finde deinen Weg, Dich selbst kennen und verstehen zu lernen! Reflexionsfragen zur Inspiration und fürs Journaling: - Was bewegt dich jetzt gerade? Nenne eine gute und hilfreiche Gewohnheit sowie eine schlechte und weniger hilfreiche Gewohnheit. - Mache eine Stärken-Liste: Worin bin ich wirklich gut? Was kann ich besonders gut? Was macht mich einzigartig? Nenne drei Dinge! Danke, dass du diesen Podcast hörst!

SVADHYAYA: auto-conocimiento. Supone la lectura propia y el estudio de los textos sagrados para cultivar la conciencia, la auto comprensión, la reflexión y el aprendizaje de uno mismo. En la práctica representaría el desarrollo de las sensaciones físicas y mentales para entender qué nos pasa de manera más profunda.

イグナイトの200時間の養成講座がスタートして改めて感じた事。“The person practicing svadhyaya reads his own book of life, at the same time that he writes and revise it. There is a change in his outlook on life. He starts to realize that there's divinity within himself, and that the energy which moves him is the same that moves the entire universe.” Svadhyayaを実践している人は、自分の人生という本を読んでいる。それと同時に、その本を書き、改訂する。人生の見方が変化し、自分の内側に宿る神格に気付き、自分を動かすこの力が宇宙を動かす力だと気づくからだ。 -B.K. S Iyengar

  SVADHYAYA ~ Self-Study ~  The Niyamas Series: 4 of 5 The WISDOM podcast  Season 3  Episode 55   ~ The world gives you what you see. ~

In this episode, we chat about the 8 limbs of Yoga by Patanjali as defined in his yoga sutras. Yoga is not all about the tree pose or downward-facing dog, it's about life.In relation to this, listen to Episode 256: The 5 levels of the mind – The Yoga Philosophy Series and also Episode 255: How to surrender, let go and trust or Ishvara Pranidhana – The Yoga Philosophy Series.This is what we spoke aboutYamas are kind of like moral lines and how you show up in life. Ahimsa is non-violence or kindness. Satya is truthfulness and honesty. Asteya is non-stealing. Brahmacharya is celibacy and loyalty. Aparigraha is detachment.Niyama is more of a way you are inside. Shaucha is more like cleanliness or detoxification of our thoughts. Santosha is contentment and self-acceptance. Tapas is devotion, dedication and discipline. Svadhyaya is self-study and self-awareness. Ishvarapranidhana is the practice of surrendering and letting go.Asana is the postures and the poses. Traditionally, there was one Asana and that was sitting cross-legged to meditate and breathe. Then, the ancient yogis continued to create poses in order to sit for longer periods of time with less discomfort.Pranayama can be translated to 'life force control'. Some people call it breathwork. Pratyahara is sense withdrawal as in closing your eyes or blocking your ears.Dharana is focusing or maintaining the thoughts and it's like the beginning of meditation.Dhyana is when you're truly meditating and nothing can interrupt you.Samadhi is when we're in Savasana lying on the ground in full surrender. Bliss land. Maybe even enlightened!If you have more questions about this or if something resonated with you, we would love to hear from you.
