In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with psychotherapist, spiritual teacher and mystic Catia Batalha to unpack what real healing looks like when you stop separating mind, body and soul. Instead of choosing between therapy or spirituality, Catia explains how yoga, Tantra, mindfulness and Western psychology can work as one integrated system for mental health, trauma recovery and spiritual growth. You will hear a very grounded breakdown of psychosomatic symptoms. How headaches, back pain, skin issues and chronic tension often signal emotional overload or misaligned environments. Catia also unpacks the sacred feminine and sacred masculine. How listening, intuition and sensitivity need to be backed by aligned action, boundaries and responsibility. If you are exhausted by surface level self-care and want a more honest, embodied roadmap, this conversation gives you a practical, spiritually aware framework you can actually apply in daily life. About The Guest: Catia Batalha is a psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, author and mystic who bridges Eastern wisdom and Western psychology. After years of feeling disconnected and numbing out with alcohol, she found yoga and Tantra. That work helped her move from emptiness and suicidal thoughts into a life aligned with soul purpose. Catia now teaches globally on chakras, somatic trauma healing, sacred feminine and masculine balance, intuition and consciousness, helping people remember their wholeness instead of trying to “fix” what feels broken. She is the author of “Echoes of the Timeless”, where she shares her own journey of awakening and the practices that rebuilt her inner world from the ground up. Key Takeaways: Healing works best when it is holistic. Catia shows how combining yoga, Tantra, mindfulness and psychotherapy creates deeper change than focusing on the mind or body in isolation. Your body is not the problem. It is the messenger. Headaches, back pain, menstrual pain, tension and skin issues can be early warning signals that your relationships, work or environment are not aligned with your emotional reality. We cannot out-think our emotions. The mind can insist “I am fine” while the nervous system is overwhelmed. Ignoring that gap leads to stress, burnout and psychosomatic illness. Sacred feminine and sacred masculine must work together. The feminine side listens, feels, intuits and receives guidance. The masculine side takes aligned action, builds structure and brings those insights into the world without controlling or suppressing them. Love is a nervous system strategy, not a cliché. When we treat love, compassion and safety as core conditions, the body can finally stop bracing and start healing. Spiritual practice can redirect rock bottom. Yoga and Tantra helped Catia shift from feeling half-alive, drinking heavily and considering suicide, into teaching, writing and leading courses that support others. Purpose is about contribution, not perfection. The real question becomes. how can my story and my healing process make life better for other people.

Inspired by Gerard Powell's remarkable healing journey, Dr. McNairy unveils the promising potential of integrating Western psychology with indigenous medicine.

Our conversation delves into the complex relationship between trauma, subconscious memories, and healing methods.

Guest: Amita Ghosh, Psychologist & Integrative Mental Health Expert   Episode Summary:   In this profound episode, Ambassador Elisha sits down with the remarkable Amita Ghosh, a seasoned psychologist whose journey from India to the United States has uniquely positioned her to blend Eastern philosophy with Western psychological practice.   With over three decades of experience in mental health, Amita shares her evolution from working with youth to becoming a specialist in adult therapy, trauma, and couples counseling.   Her deep respect for Indian philosophy and holistic healing has led her to challenge the symptom-focused lens of Western psychology—advocating instead for addressing the root causes of human suffering.   This conversation is not only eye-opening but soul-stirring, as Amita dives into:   ✅ Her early influences growing up in India   ✅ Why traditional Western psychology often misses the mark   ✅ The danger of over-diagnosing in mental health   ✅ Her love for EMDR therapy and the transformative power of flow in healing   ✅ How she's now helping people reconnect with ancient wisdom through retreats in India   Ambassador Elisha opens the episode with a powerful metaphor of the mango tree—symbolizing the fruitfulness that emerges when one invests in themselves, a metaphor beautifully fitting for Amita's life and work.   Takeaway: If you're seeking healing beyond the surface and believe in the power of integrating mind, body, and soul, this episode is your call to deeper transformation.   Connect with Amita Ghosh: https://amita-ghosh.mykajabi.com/incredible-india-2025     Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone ready to go deeper. ....

What's the distinction between mind, intellect and ego? And what are their functions? Unlike many modern psychological approaches, the Vedic worldview honors and celebrates the role of all three. While they may not always function perfectly – like the 'mistaken intellect' often discussed by Thom – each of these elements plays a specific and essential role in our evolution.Thom explains in this episode, that rather than putting our efforts into “getting rid of the ego,” we're best served by enlisting our ego as a cooperative component in our quest for enlightenment. Ironically, it's allowing the ego to transcend itself, that gives it the ability to truly know its ultimate, unchanging essence.Episode Highlights:[00:45] Vedic Psychology on Mind, Intellect, and Ego[02:32] Manas[03:53] What Remains Unchanged Within Us?[05:21] Mind Stays the Same[06:39] Two Elements of Manas[07:49] Buddhi[08:54] Ego in Western Psychology[11:47] Vedic Ego (Ahaṃkar)[13:32] Intellect's Role in Ego Formation[14:41] The Ego Structure[16:22] Ahaṃkar in Vedic Meditation[18:03] You Minus All the Thoughts[19:24] True Nature of the Self[20:48] When Mantra Surpasses Ego[22:31] Ego's Experience of The Unbounded Field[24:03] Ego + Cosmic Consciousness[25:57] No Ego, No EnlightenmentUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Nandita Chaudhary is a foremost expert on child psychology. She served as a professor at Lady Irwin College in India for over 35 years and teaches in Brazil. Dr. Chaudhary has an impressive record of over 70 publications and several books. Her work challenges mainstream views of parenting, child-rearing, and child health. Given recent debates concerning child research conducted primarily in WEIRD nations (Western Educated Industrialized Rich and Democratic) and subsequently applied universally, her work carries significant relevance. How we understand and shape the lives of children is crucial to how we perceive suffering, healing, and mental disorders. In this interview, we delve into how global organizations like UNICEF may unintentionally harm those they aim to help, how children raised with multiple caregivers can be misclassified as problematic by psychology, and how our comprehension of families, children, and mothers is severely limited. Most importantly, we discuss how studying childcare across various cultures can enlighten us about different ways of living, loving, and understanding one of the most vulnerable among us – children. This might allow us to examine our own biases, practices, and narratives more effectively. *** Mad in America podcasts and reports are made possible, in part, by a grant from the Thomas Jobe Fund.

Michael talks about applying a lens of Western Psychology to Patanjali's Yoga Sutra and the Dharma, and how these different thought-systems can compliment and converse with one another. At the same time we must remain aware that this process is a reinterpretation and superimposition. He uses lines 1.17 and 1.18 of the Yoga Sutra as an example of a place where old and new ways of thinking about the mind can be explored from multiple perspectives. Recorded on October 20, 2009.

*At 46:19-47:25 in the post-interview, Zahra and Hien discuss Riverdale spoilers This week we have the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Jay, a registered psychologist and the lead instructor with Canmore Counselling and Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School. She starts our episode with a grounding practice and then we talk about what it means to be honest with ourselves about our needs around grief and work. Melissa shares with us some of her back story, including what is offered through her Canmore Counselling practice. She breaks down what her “holistic approach” is and we discuss the ways those buzzwords can be confusing. Melissa shares some wisdom from one of her teachers, Dr. Albert Marshall, called “two-eyed seeing”, which centers on bridging Western Psychology and trauma theory with Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing. Zahra and Hien wrap up the episode by gushing about Melissa and talk more about the blending of Indigenous knowledge with Western theory. Email: welcome@canmorecounselling.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/canmorecounselling Website: http://canmorecounselling.com Dr. Melissa Jay (she/her) is a cisgender, able-bodied, Nehiyaw (Cree) member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, registered psychologist, and assistant professor at Athabasca University.

Is it possible our traumas can still be present even if we feel we've addressed them appropriately? The Story of Our Trauma and Dr. Shauna Springer welcomes Dr. Katya Burdo, a Clinical Psychologist, and our guest on our special episode on refugees. She faced insurmountable persecution throughout her childhood against her religion and views of a better way of life, a driving force behind her attempted defection from Russia to the United States at 14. Dr. Burdo now practices psychology in the Boston area and has expertise in psychotherapy, depression, anxiety, and much more. Listen in as she and Dr. Springer dive into her childhood in Russia, how trauma can change your identity and her experience with psychedelics.

1:11 What does conscious parenting mean? 1:35 Conscious parenting is a blend of Eastern Mindfulness and Western Psychology. 2:19 Conscious parenting feels attuned, safe, understood, lovable, heard, acknowledged and accepted.  3:25 Concious parenting is a method of really looking at ourselves and our contribution to the parent and child relationship. 4:12 It is a self-reflective practice, about ourselves.  4:46  Children are the greatest awakeners, the greatest teachers. 5:11 The teacher appears when the student is ready.  6:09 Comparing and contrasting traditional parenting to conscious parenting.  6:42 Traditional parenting focuses on the behaviour.  7:01 Conscious parenting is a connection-based parenting. 9:17 Traditional painting is also outcome-based and control-based.  9:30 Concious parenting is about the journey. 10:16 Conscious parenting: my child is a sovereign being.  10:34 Conscious parenting is also about the evolution of a parent.  12:39 Self-esteem suffers from a traditional parenting standpoint.  13:30 All people are sovereign. Everyone is here as a unique expression of the divine.  15:46 A big part of conscious parenting is not just listening, but sacred listening.  17:38 Traditional parenting is hierarchical.  20:03 We can't give anything to anybody that we're not giving to ourselves.  20:39 We have to unlearn some conditioning and bring in the wisdom.  21:34 A big part of conscious parenting is repairing and apologizing - owning, accountability and responsibility.  22:56 The greatest tool ever is to feel what your body is telling you so you know how to feel your feelings, that's taking ownership so you don't project it to someone else. About the Guest: Shalini Josen is a Conscious Parenting Coach, certified in Dr. Shefali's Conscious Parenting Method. She is a mom of 2 teenage boys and applies the teachings to her own life.  Connect with Shalini: https://shiftingwithshalini.com/

Elisa Lacerda-Vandenborn is a professor at Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary, Canada. She is currently part of several national and international research projects examining education in indigenous communities and the decolonization of mental health. Her writings explore alternate ways of understanding human suffering, challenge the dominant psychiatric worldview, and critique the Euro-American understandings of distress and disease. Her interests include understanding different ideas of self, especially in indigenous communities, and how our ignorance about these differences harms people we say we are healing. Lacerda-Vandenborn notes that “Psychology is not a very reflective discipline.” This is a conversation about lost indigenous children, psychology's blind spots, and how we can address these concerns with epistemic humility.

In this podcast, we will explain how Eastern spirituality and Western psychology understand the "I," the persona. Both have completely different perspectives of the individual based on their diametrically opposed cultural and religious worldviews. These differences are extremely important for understanding how to overcome suffering. One path provides a way of dealing with our suffering within the social and cultural boundaries we find ourselves in and the other questions these boundaries by suggesting the society and culture themselves create suffering and cannot be alleviated by conforming to the indoctrination that caused suffering in the first place.

Season 2 Episode 1 Wellness and Intuition go hand in hand leading us toward the culmination of mind body and spirit working in synchronicity.Achieving this trinity of wellness and awareness of self soul and spirit is attainable through balance.Joining us today is Tania Berg B.A. Life Coach, Medical Qigong Therapist and Host of Life Continuing Podcast Tania Berg has always been fascinated with how the mind works – in particular, the nature of who and what we are at the deepest levels. Tania studied Western Psychology and Eastern Medicine, and it was towards the end of her studies that she started to experience extra normal phenomena that clearly demonstrated that consciousness is fundamental over matter.This awakening caused a major paradigm shift in her understanding of existence and she started reviewing the vast literature on the subject of consciousness. This new understanding led to the creation of a podcast called Life Continuing; where Tania speaks with various guests about spirituality, science, philosophy and eastern medicine, in the context of non-local and continuing consciousness.The show aims to normalize extra-normal experiences, educate about the reality of an afterlife; and ultimately to understand our own true essence through deep conversations with her guests about their unique experiences and insights.Tania is also the founder of Wellness Continuing, offering private online support for healthy eating/weight management as a lifestyle, and intuitive wellness using her own intuitive guidance to support your wellness journey, and guide you to connect to your own innate intuition.Life Continuing Podcast (Canada): https://linktr.ee/lifecontinuingLife Continuing Website: https://www.lifecontinuing.com/Wellness Advisor: https://www.wellnesscontinuing.com/Instagram:@lifecontinuingpodcast https://www.instagram.com/lifecontinuingpodcast/ @wellnesscontinuing https://www.instagram.com/wellnesscontinuing/

Greek Philosophers are often praised for their intellect and logic, but what if there was a deeper, more spiritual side to these great thinkers that's not often taught in schools? Greek Philosophers not only had contact with, but sought out yogis, sages, and teachers from Indian, Egyptian, and Persian cultures. They practiced meditation, vegetarianism, and often believed in concepts of karma and reincarnation. Join us on this exciting conversation with Linda Johnsen about the links between ancient Greek and Roman philosophers and the mystical traditions of the near and far east.  Linda Johnsen, author of Lost Masters: Rediscovering the Mysticism of the Ancient Greek Philosophers, is a long time student of religious philosophy.
