Our guest today is Raghunath who has so much wisdom to share. He is a long-time yogi, spiritual teacher, musician, podcaster,and co-founder of Supersoul School and Farm. A teen in search of meaning, Ray Cappo fled his suburban Connecticut enclave for New York City — and found community among the misfits of Manhattan's Lower East Side. He fell in love with punk rock, so he started a band, Youth of Today,and a record label. Success soon followed. By the late 1980's, his bandhad thousands of fans, cementing Ray as a leading voice and trendsetter at the bullseye of hardcore culture. At the age of 22, he experienced a spiritual awakening and traveled to India to become a monk. After 6 and a half years, he began another successful band. 20 years ago, Nathalie and Raghunath met while they both worked at YogaWorks in Los Angeles. He never planned to become a teacher, but was always fascinated by spiritual openness. After moving to L.A., he realized he didn't want to be a musician anymore, but yoga was a passion of his. He was asked to sub as a teacher,and his teaching journey began from there. After all this time, what does yoga mean for Raghunath? In the past, he was always interested in alternative lifestyles and clean living, but he never approached yoga as a specific way to “fix” one thing. It was always a search for spirituality. Now, yoga isn't the whole meal, rather it is the condiment for larger feasts of the soul. We are spiritual beings that have a soul. The goal of yoga is knowledge of the Self. Who are you underneath your ego self? Underneath all the trappings of the false self, who is the true you? The body is a gift, but it is not all we are. All aspects of yourself need to be nurtured.

I am thrilled to have my dear friend and colleague, Monette Chilson, back to talk about her new teaching platform WomanSpirit Reclamation and the power of circling with women to unlearn what we've been taught about the feminine. An excavator of sacred feminine lineage, Monette Chilson founded WomanSpirit Reclamation to support women in navigating their awakening from patriarchal indoctrination through online courses and community. She has written and spoken about the divine feminine for the past decade, authoring Sophia Rising: Awakening Your Sacred Wisdom Through Yoga and My Name is Lilith, in addition to editing Original Resistance: Reclaiming Lilith, Reclaiming Ourselves and developing its companion curriculum. Monette's work has been featured in national magazines including Yoga Journal and Integral Yoga Magazine and the anthologies Yoga Wisdom and Whatever Works: Feminists of Faith Speak. Monette and I speak about why our inner wisdom—personified by Sophia—is essential for maintaining our centeredness when the world around us has gone mad—AND becoming conscious about our spiritual evolution without judging or shaming. Why was WomanSpirit Reclamation created? Why is representation so important for women? How Monette's spiritual evolution impacted her work. Learn how Monette guides women to self-sovereignty. How has her spiritual life evolved since launching WomanSpirit. How can women from any religion, faith, or non-faith benefit from this work? Everyone has access to Sophia—their own inner wisdom. It is not reserved for hermits or monks. We are all mystics!

Social Media and Big-Tech try to convince you that their product(s) are about making your life better or “connecting with people” etc. But the companies themselves have the goal of getting your attention, and then keeping you on their platforms for as much of your day as possible. They collect your data and usage habits and then sell your data or use the information to make money off you. To do that they engage experts in an area of psychology research called "persuasive design," whose scholars seek to understand how to create something that is next to impossible to put down. Persuasive design combines behavioral psychology with technology to alter human behavior – yes, your behavior. Tristan Harris, an ex-Google employee, speaking to the US Congress said the business model of big social media companies "is to create a society that is addicted, outraged, polarized, performative and disinformed. That's just the fundamentals of how it works." Emily Jashinsky says these companies wield their power over your mind, to make you angrier, lonelier, dumber, less healthy and more addicted. We become increasingly disconnected from the real world and end up “living in our heads.” So what to do? In authentic spiritual systems/practices they promote both “dos” and “don'ts” (Yama/Niyama) in order to change your life. In relation to the topic we are coving I make some suggestions. Don'ts – · Stay off the apps as much as possible (limit usage), · don't just look to fill up an empty space, · don't just click on things that are fed to you (it is not harmless!!), · stop seeking acceptance and validation through empty posts · don't just react (get emotionally involved or outraged) Dos – · move to take charge of your mind and its' contents · get a (real) life (find PURPOSE) · become more informed (Yoga Wisdom) · practice tolerance and humility · be kind · cultivate spiritual wisdom · meditate!!! “One who is not connected with the Supreme Soul can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace?” - Bhagavad-gita 2.66

There is a need to change how we think about some of the major issues facing humanity today. If we don't then the issues will not be addressed properly. Climate and environmental issues are the obvious ones but there are also major social issues that need real solutions. Pollution is not just the nasty stuff we pump into the land, the air, and the water, it is also what we pump into people's minds. While overtly supporting the massive and imminent dangers of Climate Change and denouncing the polluters, Big Tech is an outsized contributor to the problems through their revenue models. And on the social issues front, a recent news article states: “The Wallstreet Journal reports that Facebook has known for years that Instagram was mass-producing anxiety, depression, and eating disorders among teen girls who use it, and did nothing about it. That's because giving teens eating disorders is very profitable. As Casey Johnston writes, "these companies know that it's addictive to make people think that, somewhere in their app, there's a solution to feeling inferior and incomplete. The influencer who makes you feel not pretty enough, who also seems to have the key to becoming pretty enough? That's Instagram candy." This talk presents a possible Yoga Wisdom perspective.

Who am I ? Why am I here ? What is the purpose of life ? Perhaps you're starting to feel as if the passing of time between birth and death doesn't actually define your ‘life'. By seeking answers to these important questions, the gradual understanding of ‘life' becomes possible and the quest for Truth, Spirituality and Enlightenment becomes the journey of life. While this journey may ask us to go against the flow of hedonistic lifestyle, and mainstream society, the truth about who we really are is the key to unlocking a new “life”, and the chance to finding the happiness we have always sought. In this seminar, hosted by The Mantra Room Gold Coast, we explore how the key practices of Meditation, Kirtan and cultivating Yoga Wisdom provide the answers and realizations to these thought-provoking, life-changing questions.

He has been teaching since 1993, and teaching yoga since 2004. James runs intensives and online trainings on applied yoga philosophy and mythology around the world. Today we talk about yoga and the whole human being. How can you find that inner yoga, that inner union?

Some of the questions he answers are: - How can we stop, look and listen and bring centred awareness back in our being? - The importance of satsang - connecting with other men - Teachings about the Bhagavad Gita and how Krishna taught Arjuna - How you can learn to align with consciousness - The importance of Raja yoga - the Sovereign/ King energy - How courage helps us to connect to the inner sovereignty For more information about James Boag: http://www.jamesboagyoga.com

Concerned about environmental causes, Wilson wore a shirt with the homemade message "Stop MTM/VF" on The Dillinger Escape Plan's February 2, 2008 appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Wilson has been a big advocate for veganism and has appeared in several pro-vegan advertisements for PETA, although in recent years he has distanced himself from the organization and is more flexible about those beliefs because of his yoga, and transcendental meditation practices.

Sponsored by 30/60/5 Program. Be stronger than your excuses. Get more info here-> https://bit.ly/30605health In life we need to constantly be learning and sharing. Kelly DiNardo has done that many different ways throughout her life. Check her out: Of course, these enviable adventures show none of the butt-in-chair disciplines. That’s intentional. As a storyteller, I want readers so engaged they don’t even consider the behind-the-scenes effort. As a journalist, I want editors to be completely confident real work went into the piece. I did the necessary digging. I plowed through my research. I talked to the right people. I read, digested and clearly explained the person, the place, the science, the trend. I specialize in exploration – whether it’s internally through yoga and meditation, physically through health and fitness, culturally and socially through profiles, or the myriad ways travel brings all of that together. This means you might have spotted stories about 2-minute meditation strategies in O, The Oprah Magazine or the benefits of a digital detox in Martha Stewart Living. My profiles of celebrities, newsmakers and everyday Janes doing amazing things have appeared in Foreign Policy, Upworthy, Playboy and Parade. And travel stories about adventures uphill skiing in Switzerland, touring Rome by Vespa or road tripping around Door County, Wisconsin, appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post and National Geographic Traveler. The mix of styles, subjects and publications keeps things interesting and is just another form of exploration. I am the author of Gilded Lili: Lili St. Cyr and the Striptease Mystique, which received a starred review from Publishers Weekly. I have also contributed to Fodor’s Guide to Switzerland for the last three editions, Time Out’s guide to Washington, DC and ghost-written books on a wide range of topics. My next book, Living the Sutras: A Guide to Yoga Wisdom beyond the Mat will be released June 12, 2018. Beyond my work as a writer, I have been teaching yoga for more than 15 years and am the owner of Past Tense yoga studio in Washington, DC. I am a graduate of Cornell University where I earned a B.S. in communications and learned enough science and nutrition to understand those medical journals.
