✨"They're just astral germs — and if we build our immunity as we do with regular germs, then we're protected from them."— Yogacharini Maitreyi

✨In this episode, host Ross McKeachie sits down with Yogacharini Maitreyi to explore the often misunderstood topic of entities and astral beings.

Rather than the dramatic horror-film version, Maitreyi reframes entities as "astral germs" — thought forms and fear forms that feed off depleted pranic energy, suppressed emotions, and unresolved trauma.

The conversation covers how our relationships and emotional states affect our pranic field, real-life examples from Maitreyi's healing work with clients, and practical tools for building psychic immunity — from the Jyoti Kriya and mantra sadhana to folk wisdom like salt cleansing and smudging.

They also discuss whether it's necessary to engage with the topic of entities at all, or whether focusing on clearing your own emotional and energetic patterns is enough. A grounding and illuminating conversation for anyone navigating the subtler dimensions of inner life.

✨"It's not only understanding the pattern. You also have to energetically work on clearing that pattern. That's the key."— Yogacharini Maitreyi

✨All of us have layers and layers of personal and generational trauma that we're born into. It is a process and it takes patience — but it is possible to realign into the light."— Yogacharini Maitreyi
