Do you feel worthy of love or do you feel that you need to hustle for it?
Was Rumi a philosopher, a poet, a lover or a seeker?
May this episode encourage you to be kind and tender to everyone around you.
In this episode we discuss the much talked-about concept in spiritual+psychological circles: shadow work.
What stops us from making the right decisions in love? Why do we tend to suffocate the people we love? Here's my take on it.
In this episode, we touch upon authenticity, perfectionism, and people pleasing.
Some extra clarifications (read this after listening to the episode): Accepting your present leads to stillness, and in that stillness, you get creative ideas on what to do next. On the other hand, if you never accept the present, all your next moves are rooted in fear, you will be thinking in the same manner which caused the problem in the first place- thus repeating the pattern. So accepting the present is not a weak act, it doesn't lead to stagnation, it leads to change and growth, that is real and lasting. ACCEPT, THEN ACT. Also, if you find yourself in such deep pain, that you don't want to face it, it's okay to temporarily distract yourself- we are all in the process of evolving. But, at some point, you will have to face it- when you decide that you have reached that point and that distraction starts causing you more pain than relief, listen to this episode on how to face those fears. Love and light to you all, R 💜

In this episode, we talk about how setbacks or failures are a normal part of everyone's lives and that's why we need to develop resilience. But what builds resilience? Spirituality, Self-forgiveness, Connection, Commitment to a purpose are some of the factors we discuss here. We also talk about guilt, shame, comparison and pride and how they keep us stuck in the past. Hope you learn something from this episode, and if nothing, atleast find the reassurance that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Love, Roopal 💜 (insta: @roopaljain20_)

What is the root of our problems? Different philosophers have given different answers to this existential question. In this episode I share another perspective to look at our problems and how solving them require just a tweak here and a trim there- to attain that perfect balance of love, power and wisdom. Hope this helps and if nothing gives you something to think about. Would love to hear from you. Here's my instagram id: @roopaljain20_
Have you struggled to understand yourself? Do you find it hard to recognise the cause behind your emotions? Do your thoughts feel like an entangled mess,leaving you unable to find their beginning and end? Then JOURNALING might be the practice for you. In this episode, I have tried to explain the practice in the simplest terms along with certain do's and don'ts. All with the intention to inspire you to take the first step on your healing journey.
