When was the last time you experienced divine play? "Lila" is a Sanskrit word used in Hinduism and yogic philosophy, loosely translated as "play", and "delight in the moment." Today's new episode explores these concepts and is the first interview of a new mini-series: Astonishing WOC Healers. KJ will share conversations held with healers, social activists and educators who are Women of Color. Meet Yasmin Afrazeh, a Certified Kundalini Yoga instructor, Radiant Child-trained Children's Yoga teacher and Therapeutic Art Life Coach. She is the founder of House of Lila, a space for children to learn mindfulness through Kundalini Yoga and expressive arts including movement and storytelling. House of Lila grew from Yasmin's vision to help children preserve their natural wisdom and radiance, and regain their inherent state of being--of joy, awareness, creativity.  Spanning across Persia and Australia and solo road trips within the badlands of Montana, KJ and Yasmin recall the lessons on how to wholly surrender with wonder.  Takeaways: We already know what to do. We have innate wisdom within .  House of Lila could be a  mantra and lifestyle. "Lila" means "to divinely play".  Hold the space for delight and embrace the outcome of fluid, creative energy.  Are we missing opportunities for living in the present?

What do you think of when I say email marketing? Do you feel stressed or excited? Unsure of where to start or planning the road ahead? Well, I hope by the end of this episode you'll feel excited about the opportunity to connect with your subscribers as well as the content that you're going to share. I'm going to share my email marketing plan with you today, how I formed my content pillars, how I use my email marketing as the backbone for my social media efforts, as well as the software that I use to make all of that happen. I'm sure if you listen to other podcasts, read small business content and books that you've heard the suggestion to build your email list. Before we dive into all of the particulars of today's episode, I want to talk about why you should be building an email list of subscribers. Yes, it's important to have direct contact with your audience, especially if you're sharing a lot of content on social media. Because what if Instagram doesn't exist tomorrow, or Facebook turns into a subscription based model and your fans drop off the platform. They might be able to track you down via your website, but what about your ability to contact them? So, yes, building content on social media is risky - you're building on borrowed land. But I think there are some other reasons that you want to build up your email list and improve your email marketing, and that is to build a community online. And the coolest part about that? Is that this is a community that you get to create and lead! How cool is that? It is a whole new way that you get to communicate with your audience. Try FloDesk here.

** BIRTHDAY & NEW SEASON CELEBRATIONS  ** Today's opening episode for the third season of SOAL is the nourishing, concluding conversation with Yoga & Meditation teacher and Certified Sound Healer Deva Munay.  In the first part of this conversation [Episode 49], we learned that Deva's home community had perished in a California wildfire earlier this year, and friends and neighbors came together in a mission to raise money for a rebuild. And during such already charged times,  Deva separated from her longtime love. We ponder ways we recover from such  layered devastation and grief.  Takeaways: Deva's mantra: Hold to the center. Inquiries: What is the Divine Plan? Is this for our protection?   Response: We must learn to entrust that something will be there to hold us in our journey through destruction and pain. Inquiry: How can we be nourished while we encounter and discard old patterns?Response: Follow the sound. Please enjoy a mini sound bowl healing session (about 14 minutes long)  Deva created exclusively for SOAL listeners in this soothing, quiet season premiere.

Sound is one of the oldest and most natural forms of healing known to our planet. Sound frequencies can restore one's mind, body and spirit back to a state of balance. KJ welcomes Certified Sound Healer Deva Munay to explore what this means today in our Pandemic-riddled world. Deva has traveled and studied healing modalities across many landscapes, including Belize, Peru, Indonesia, and Egypt with the hope of incorporating the wisdom of these cultures into her sound journeys. Her mission is to create a unified field of pure awareness, with the intention of invoking deep states of healing, transformation, awe and wonder.In this first half of a two part conversation, KJ and Deva recall discovering the restorative properties of sound--- calm and tranquility; a technique to quiet the mind chatter!-- through extensive travel to post -injury recovery. The ladies also acknowledge that while this was a year of heartache and grief (on a personal and global level), it introduced new resources for wellness to a new audience. Somehow the world crisis prompted a return to a common mode of communication, a bond through an ancient language. Takeaways: 1.  Seek surroundings completely different than your known, familiar world. 2. There is this collective consciousness. Whether we're physically touching or not, we are constantly impacting our world and one another. 3.  Even in grief, this is what I can understand: destruction and transformation can lead to a higher good.4.  Nothing is ever truly lost; it is transformed. Please Rate and Review This Podcast if our stories have astonished you as well.https://ratethispodcast.com/astonishingstories  BONUS- Every review you leave enters you into a drawing to win a FREE 1:1 consultation with KJ!Episode Mentions: The Seven Wonders of Sound Esalen Retreat This Weekend  July 16th-18th! Deva's Website SacredSound.Love Listen to excerpts of Deva's  sound journeys Instagram @DevaMunay Intro  & Outro music: Canada Lo Res by Pictures Of The Floating World Connect With KJ & Bliss Begins Within IG:  @MusingsOnOther @BlissBeginsWithin @AdopteeSociety Website: https://blissbeginswithin.com  Roundtable Podcast with KJ  & Friends - CONNECTED! Clubhouse: @kjnasrul  Follow KJ's Clubs >> Magical Cartographers Club and Creativity & Compassion ClubFacebook & TwitterWant to create and send beautiful emails?

“If the ocean can calm itself so can you. We are both salt water mixed with air.” ~Nayyirah WaheedToday's #SOAL guest Dani Richards has known KJ for many years, having  first met in an online community based on monikers and screen names built to protect identity and distance. Today's episode is their first face-to-face conversation in nearly a decade, exploring  ways we can overcome barriers and connect authentically. Dani is a 200 hour trained yoga teacher,  a varsity swim coach and she is First Aid Certified in youth mental health. Dani's master's degree is counseling-based in higher education and her mission is to practice and share lessons of self-compassion and resilience to help recognize and combat stress and anxiety.  The reunited friends explore so many themes in this chat including: showing up, "showing face", and granting radical acceptance and forgiveness to ourselves and in turn, others.  Takeaways: 1. Observe what it might mean for you, to overcome the fear of showing up, and deciding to "Show Face". 2. Using reframes, how might our “disabilities” be our greatest gifts? Could these be opportunities to learn something more about our own resiliency?3. Practice Self Kindness.4. Reacting is human. Instead of judging our instinctual responses, perhaps practice these kind statements: “I forgive myself”“I forgive myself for having this reaction.” “I forgive myself for falling into this belief.” “I forgive myself for being caught up in this false judgment."Please Rate and Review This Podcast if our stories have astonished you as well. https://ratethispodcast.com/astonishingstories Episode Mentions: Bloom Yoga & Wellness Website  Instagram  @bloomwellyogi Dani Richards, Bloom Well Yogi  Facebook Episode  Background music: Original composition 'Butterfly' by  KJ Nasrul Episode Intro & Outro music: Canada Lo Res by Pictures Of The Floating World Connect With KJ & Bliss Begins Within IG:  @MusingsOnOther @BlissBeginsWithin @AdopteeSociety KJ's Upcoming Creativity Workshop Info:  hereWebsite: https://blissbeginswithin.com  Listen in to KJ & her friends on their new Roundtable Podcast- CONNECTED!Clubhouse: @kjnasrul  Follow KJ's Clubs >> Magical Cartographers Club and Creativity & Compassion ClubFacebook & TwitterWant to create and send beautiful emails?

 KJ embraces her inner fangirl with today's guest, clinical psychologist, yoga teacher, international speaker and author, Dr. Arielle Schwartz.  Dr Schwartz is a leading voice in the healing of PTSD and complex trauma and she is the author of six books incorporating an integrative (somatic psychology, EMDR, mindfulness practices), strength-based approach to trauma treatment. In a compassionate conversation, KJ and Dr. Schwartz speak to the power in proclaiming aloud our intentions for healing in the name of service for others. The ladies also honor the courage it takes to practice true self compassion. Takeaways:  Notice the somatic connection in your own life. What are your body's coping mechanisms?  Take the risk to put your gift in the world. Someone will be impacted by it.  Self Compassion practices means a willingness to let go of prescription and of trying to protocol or predict where we're going. Episode Mentions: Website  Dr Arielle SchwartzInstagram  @ArielleSchwartzBoulder Dr. Arielle Schwartz on Facebook Dr. Schwartz's Blog Here Order Dr. Schwartz's New Book: The complex PTSD Treatment Manual Out June 8. The Mind-Body Therapy Summit from  Embody Lab (join KJ there today!) Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate Program in which the world's leading trauma therapy experts (Peter Levine, Stephen Porges, Pat Ogden, Deb Dana, Arielle Schwartz and more!) offer a holistic framework for understanding and working with trauma from a body-centered perspective.Connect With KJ and Bliss Begins Within IG:  @MusingsOnOther @BlissBeginsWithin @AdopteeSociety Get updates on KJ's upcoming workshops hereWebsite: https://blissbeginswithin.com  KJ & Friends have a new Roundtable Podcast- CONNECTED!Clubhouse: @kjnasrul  Follow KJ's Clubs >>> Magical Cartographers Club and Creativity & Compassion ClubFacebook & TwitterWant to create and send beautiful emails?

When did you decide to become more than Just Friends? The second part of KJ's conversation with Our Friendly World's Fawn and Matt Anderson  is beguiling, flowing and whimsical.  It's infused with a few Aikido principles, quite possibly revealing the recipe for creating deep, congruent relationships. Basically, KJ is such a softy for a good love story, which Fawn and Matt generously provide. A universal human theme that emerged is the desire to connect, be seen and belong with each other.  Episode Themes:+ Aikido principles can be applied to our relationships  in  search for harmony, and reducing conflict:  redirecting momentum releasing into  flowing aroundnot resistingnot attackingsoftening, reflecting, melding+ Perhaps the formula for meaningful relationships is:       1.  Entering into another state.       2.  Releasing into it Please Rate and Review This Podcast if our stories have astonished you as well. https://ratethispodcast.com/astonishingstories  Episode Mentions: Website www.ourfriendlyworld.comPodcast: Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt   KJ, Fawn, Matt & Friends started a new Roundtable Podcast- CONNECTED! Instagram: @befriendlyworldLinkedIn - Fawn and Matt Ad background music: Original Composition by  KJ Nasrul Intro  & Outro music: Canada Lo Res by Pictures Of The Floating World Connect With KJ & Bliss Begins Within IG:  @MusingsOnOther @BlissBeginsWithin @AdopteeSociety Clubhouse: @kjnasrul  Follow KJ's Clubs >>> Magical Cartographers Club and Creativity & Compassion ClubWebsite: https://blissbeginswithin.com  FREE Guide- Connect To Calm  https://bit.ly/4StepsToCalmFacebook & TwitterWant to create and send beautiful emails?

Question: When did we become friends? KJ spends an afternoon of laughter and connection with The Andersons. Fawn Anderson is a photographer and Matt Anderson  is a software developer and together they pursue social, racial, and economic justice through their thought provoking conversational podcast exploring the Art of Friendship.  The movement and the podcast is called Our Friendly World with Fawn and MattIn the first of a two-part conversation, KJ and her friends muse aloud about the significant stories that arise out of otherwise commonplace items (fridge magnets, cooling racks); and they examine an essential Shifting Moment: When and how do we pursue friendship? Takeaways: Have curious, compassionate conversations, start now.  Stories and connecting conversations exist everywhere. When or why did we stop using imagination? Can we adapt and approach problem solving with a fresh perspective?Survival means the ability to  adapt and create currency. Currency is our fluency and relationship skills. How to build currency? One way: create a safe environment for authentic sharing. When do we make the shift from casual acquaintance to friendship? What is our style of initiation: Golden Retriever?  Gradual Gatekeeper?  What structures, architecture inform our abilities to create and maintain meaningful relationships?Please Rate and Review This Podcast if our stories have astonished you as well. https://ratethispodcast.com/astonishingstories  Episode Mentions: Website www.ourfriendlyworld.comPodcast: Our Friendly World with Fawn and Matt   Instagram: @befriendlyworldFawn's linkedinMatt's linkedinAd background music: KJ Nasrul Intro  & Outro music: Canada Lo Res by Pictures Of The Floating World Connect With KJ & Bliss Begins Within IG:  @MusingsOnOther @BlissBeginsWithin @AdopteeSociety Clubhouse: @kjnasrul Website: https://blissbeginswithin.com  FREE Guide- Connect To Calm  https://bit.ly/4StepsToCalmFacebook & TwitterWant to create and send beautiful emails?

Can we have honest and crucial conversations -charged, heavy, electric, passionate, uncomfortable, provocative as they are-- today?  If yes, what do they look like? How do we start them? It is these questions, and more that KJ contemplates  in today's Solo SOAL episode. Stick around for a few minutes as she accompanies us through a Compassion Invocation and music mandala. Questions Worth Considering: 1. Would you Come Sit With Me?  If you saw me hanging out on the couch or at a table with an open, available seat, would you take it? What stops you from sitting next to me? What compels you to sit next to me, engage with me? Come Sit With Me experiment, as envisioned by artist @jackieshermanart 2. What happens when we let go of  attachment to the outcome, but instead focus in the moment, on the process?3. Do you recognize the impact of nonverbal communication? What happens when there are no words? An experiential Expressive Arts Therapy seminar brought many nonverbal conversations that were just as profound and telling if not more than any verbal exchange. 4. What would it be like to talk about the grief, fear, and passion and channel that momentum towards advocacy for issues that are important to us and our communities?5.  The conversation is just beginning. This week, a Minneapolis jury found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty of murder of George Floyd last year, on May 25, 2020. We have much work to do, Healers. It starts with talking about it.  Please Rate and Review This Podcast if our stories have astonished you as well.https://ratethispodcast.com/astonishingstories  Episode Mentions: Artist and writer Jackie Sherman - Come Sit With Me KJ's Interview on WTF Live With Melissa Morris- YouTube Video Compassion Meditation Background Music: Seashell Sound Mandala, performed by KJ Intro  & Outro music: Canada Lo Res by Pictures Of The Floating World Connect With KJ & Bliss Begins Within IG:  @MusingsOnOther @BlissBeginsWithin @AdopteeSociety Clubhouse: @kjnasrul Website: https://blissbeginswithin.com  FREE Guide- Connect To Calm  https://bit.ly/4StepsToCalmFacebook & TwitterWant to create and send beautiful emails?
