Ananta Kranti, our guest this week, has dedicated her life to deepening her connection to her true self and transmitting her wisdom to thousands of students and seekers. She does this in the form of personalised “pointing out” instructions that directly reveal the nature of the mind, its illusions, karmic entanglements and the path to ultimate freedom. Ananta speaks a lot about awakening and how it's possible for everyone, but also about how it requires a willingness to break free from our current perception of life. When we realise how little we actually know we can start asking bigger questions and ignite the desire and intensity required to open up the possibility of transformation. Ananta works in a powerful way, fully integrating with others helping them to process and release trauma that may be held in bodymind memory. She reveals practical ways to overcome, transform and live more fully in every moment. It’s got something for everyone.Website - https://www.ananta-kranti.comYoutube channel - https://youtube.com/@AnantaKranti5 Day Summer Retreat in Englandhttps://ananta-kranti.corsizio.com/c/643b94262493a42c1b85ee82Soundcloudhttps://m.soundcloud.com/anantakrantiFacebookhttps://m.facebook.com/KrantiAnantaJoin Ananta's free comunity: Born to be freehttps://ananta-kranti.mn.coEternal LoveSat'AnantaAnanta-kranti.comJonny would love to hear from you!

Today on I Am Jonny is chatting to the amazing Dr Shefali Tsabary, New York Times best-selling author and a clinical psychologist specialising in the integration of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy. She is an expert in family dynamics and personal development, teaching courses all around the globe. She emphasises the importance of recognising that children are not possessions and are separate individuals with their own expressions of life and intelligence. She encourages parents to focus on their own internal environment to create a safe and nurturing environment for their children. The conversation also delves into the concept of the inner child, which refers to the childhood needs that are not met and the effects of traumatic events that become embedded in us and skew our experience of the world. Reparenting our inner child allows us to heal and let go of old wounds and patterns of reactivity, creating space for greater involvement in life and greater clarity. The conversation also explores the disconnect between our idea of self and our true self and the belief systems that we construct to mend this rift but which end up perpetuating more and more fear and insecurity.Jonny would love to hear from you!If you have any questions that you’d like answered, please email hello@Iampodcast.co.uk or comment in the reviews section.Twitter: @JonnyWilkinsonInstagram: @jonnywilkinsonofficialFor quick access to all of Dr. Shefali’s Social Media platforms, please utilize the URL’s listed below:Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/doctorshefaliInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/doctorshefaliTikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@doctorshefali YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/c/DrShefali
