Are Joy and Bliss Equal?A few weeks ago Faern brought up the question 'are you avoiding joy?' which seems to be a hot topic, again, with all that is going on in the world.THIS week we ponder together while looking at the question 'Are Joy and Bliss Equal? and how they can be confused. Faern also discusses  what our true nature is by way of  SatChitAnanda from the Advaita Vedanta perspective which turns out to be much more direct than you'd initially expect.Let us know what you think about that by emailing us, you'll hear it in the episode.Have a great week&Thank you for being hereSupport the show

You don't need to be into spirituality to have heard someone at some time to say something along the lines of "they have a weird vibe", am I wrong?"high vibes""low vibes""hold a vibration""high vibe live""low vibrational activity"What does it all mean?This week Faern takes us through what a vibration is- by definition- and discusses her thoughts around what this all means, in a basic way. Let us know what questions you have around these kinds of topics so that we can add on. The crossover between science and spirituality is becoming more and more mainstream which on one hand is a good thing but at the same time is creating a whole new kind of messy spiritual playground when it comes to explanations that are merely good imaginative ideas which are lacking the link to knowledge and source.*This week she also reads a Pablo Neruda poemSupport the show

This is part 4 of our ongoing series called The Yogic ApproachToday we are focused on The Yamas as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.

She also looks into the word Yama and shares with us some simple insights from connecting the two.The next Yogic Approach episode will focus on the Niyamas.Support the show

NEW podcast signupHave you ever actually considered something like that?"Things that can bring you the fullest joy are possibly being actively avoided"- FaernIt's one thing to be generally happy and go through the day to day but it's a whole other thing to realize you have been simply overlooking what may bring you the fulfillment you ponder as being missing.That is what this episode is about-Our host Faern takes us through a personal experience revolving around re-learning how to find joyful things in her life.The Yogic Approach returns next week with the YammasSupport the show

This episode begins with Faern giving us a basic explanation on how we can use the idea of  'entrainment' and how we already do naturally in our daily lives and practices.We then move into a Guided HamSa Meditation and Breathing Practice.We already learned SoHum last year- which is very similar and to some might even seem the same but given some time and attention one will call you deeper within yourself. Neither is more valid than the other- in fact the difference in the spelling is Sanskrit grammar- not any hierarchy, but honestly they FEEL different from each other.Test them out and get back to us.The intention of the meditation is taking part with 'entrainment', testing the waters, so to speak. This simple meditation is very profound- Faern suggests trying it on your own at different times of day and lengths of time This type of Meditation is focus building as well as calming.This is a very good place to begin with meditation practices but it is also a quintessential experience many people return to over years and years if not their whole lifetime. {Same with SoHum}Support the show

Have you ever wondered how to rid yourself of all the ways you unconsciously react to life experiences?Before you do that you have to know what they are and how they came to be such a large part of how you perceive the world around you. One way to do that is to get an idea of how ignorance or obstacles  appear from within.Today we are looking at The Kleshas in part 3 of our Yogic Approach series. The Kleshas, when put simply, are precisely this breakdown.Give a listen and see for yourself if they come through in your daily life.Support the show
