Struggling with anxiety, mental fatigue or exhaustion? [This episode has been extracted from an IG LIVE] And you’ve been seeing therapists and counsellors for years. Journaling. Doing the gratitude practice. Doing the mindset work. Working out. And yet you’re feeling stuck and not really experiencing the full bodied energy and mental motivation and lightness you know is for you? Or you’ve been seeing these patterns in your loved ones and clients? These are some of the issues participants in my pop-up clinic came to me with - and these aren’t new patterns I’m used to dealing with. Many of my students had been experiencing the same and trying all the talk therapy and manifestation work and it was just not been working. Why??? Because you’ve neglected the intelligence of the gut. You’ve neglected the capacity for the FULL BODY to heal and because of that there is stagnant energy that is just not being released and it’s expressing itself in your mind. For far too long. If you want to experience lasting healing - your approach needs to be holistic and comprehensive. You need to be addressing ALL of your symptoms ALL together. Symptoms you didn’t even know were connected are MOST DEFINITELY CONNECTED. And that’s what I help you with. I help you experience the mental ease and lightness you’ve been spending years trying to experience - within weeks. Because my approach is intelligent, nuanced and comprehensive. And addresses ALL OF YOU, ALL together. And because I am experienced in working with your mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and energetic body ALL TOGETHER - which is rare even within the Ayurvedic world. So if you’re ready to stop outsourcing your well-being to modalities and therapists that don’t actually guarantee you the lasting healing and relief you know is yours - find me. I mentor, empower and equip you with an ease and healing skill that will last you a lifetime. You won’t find this potency of healing and training anywhere else. Message me to apply now. Niv x

This episode has been extracted from an IG Live titled "Are you TRULY healthy, The Ayurvedic Edition." I keep talking about “dis-ease” and “health” but I can’t take it for granted that you really know what I mean when I say that. So I’ve broken down this absolutely stunning definition of health in Ayurvedic texts for you - so you have a FULL and COMPREHENSIVE sense of what it is and CAN BE for you (and your loved ones and clients..) NOT compartmentalized as “mental” health being separate from “gut health” separate from “emotional” health separate from physical beauty but health as one big fat WHOLE thing you get to return to in your everyday life, for the rest of your life.And disease being quite simply, a substantial departure from this state of well-being. Tune in to learn:❤️‍🔥 Are you actually healthy? ❤️‍🔥 Have you unknowingly normalised your dis-ease? ❤️‍🔥 Why this is NECESSARY for you to get clear on right now. ❤️‍🔥 Now that you know, how do you actually heal from chronic dis-ease (for real!!!) Listen till the end for the COMPLETE download and let me know what comes up for you!! Do you agree with this definition? Do you think it’s missing something? Have you grown up understanding health and disease in this way?? I want to hear from you!!! Big love, Niv x P.S. This is the precise work I help my students with: healing from the most sticky and repetitive of mental, emotional and physical issues +++ teaching them HOW to do that for themselves and others FOR LIFE. 🔥🔥🔥 IG: @yourhealthcompass FB: Niv Rajendra

The Vijnana Bhairava Tantra provides a way into the universal realization of divine embodiment that is developed fully within the tantras. It is one of the early teachings on yoga meditation. The name, loosely translated, means "the terror and joy of realizing oneness with the soul." The first written version appears in Kashmir around AD 800. Metaphorically, a tantra is a tapestry of knowledge weaving together the threads of yoga technique. This one is a compendium of yoga meditation instructions, set as a conversation between lovers. Niv reads out Lorin Roche's translation of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, one that she has titled The Radiance Sutras. Niv reads to you the Banter verses and some of the Yukti verses.
