Dear Self: Please Step Out of the Way
Give Without Expectation: This is the Highest Service
“We get sucked into the vortex and we forget to be grateful.”
~ Dr. Ananda Bhavanani
Dr. Ananda Bhavanani is a medical doctor and director of the Centre for Yoga Therapy Education and Research.
There is so much brilliance in this conversation—and Ananda won’t take an ounce of credit for it. He shares how each of us are conduits for universal consciousness and wisdom and that only when we attempt to take ownership for that insight do we get blocked from its transmission.

Free to Be Me! Cultivating the Power of Self-Acceptance
“We don’t have to pretend that we have everything under control.”
~ Uma Dinsmore-Tuli
Uma Dinsmore-Tuli is the author of Yoni Shakti: A Woman’s Guide to Power and Freedom Through Yoga and Tantra. She shares how the “freedom” to be someone else, to be who society tells us to be or what social media tells us to be, is not freedom at all. The power that is unleashed when we accept who we really are (including our many evolutions and manifestations) is potent beyond measure.
Hear Uma’s interpretation and understanding of what freedom is and how simple allowance and acceptance translates into profound inner strength and power.
