Jai-Jagdeesh's journey as a singer began nearly 25 years ago, in a temple in India. Spending her formative years in Northern India - and traveling as a musical representative for Yogi Bhajan's foreign education program - set the foundation for a deep devotion to the sacred texts of the Kundalini yoga tradition & the Sikh faith.

Her second full-length studio album, ' Of Heaven & Earth ', climbed up to #6 on Billboard's New Age Music chart within the first few weeks of its release.

Angie Knight has studied yoga, shamanism, and other healing arts for over 16 years, both nationally and internationally, but her main teacher has been her own practice, personal experiences, and life itself. She considers herself a student of life and has learned to embrace what is happening in the moment as the ultimate guide to awakened living. For years, she has coached and supported others in transforming their pain into their power, trusting their own inner guidance and living an authentic life. Angie shares some of those life experiences that awakened, transformed and led her to surrendering the “seeker” within.…

Fate as we know it sometimes lies beyond our means of understanding, and surfaces at just the right moment in our lives. Soon after I had the vision to create this podcast, I came in contact with Greg Davis, in a series of serendipitous events. His story was so compelling and deeply touching, I knew I needed to interview him. This conversation was my first-ever interview. Last November, I spoke candidly with Greg about loss, love, faith, and purpose. We talk about struggle, surrender and the dance with each of those lessons along his path, and how he followed the “god winks” that eventually led him to achieve his dream of becoming a National Geographic Photographer and Filmmaker. This conversation is one of my favorites to date because it’s just that - a conversation. Greg is incredibly forthcoming and relatable and we dive into some deep waters; laughs, tears and wisdom that will inevitably leave you feeling connected to all that is. Greg’s most recent project took him to India where he attended the world’s largest spiritual pilgrimage, India’s Kumbh Mela. For millennia, every twelfth year, millions of devoted pilgrims have gathered at the confluence of the three holiest rivers. It was from this journey, that this twenty-four piece photographic exhibition and two short films were born – most recently, one called The Man from Mathura. Greg’s fate currently lies in the blue and green hands of a Black Hmong Villager from the northern highlands of Vietnam. http://www.gregdavisphotography.com http://themanfrommathura.com https://wellawareworld.org…

For three decades, Caroline Miller has been a pioneer with her groundbreaking work in the areas of goal setting, grit, happiness and success. She is recognized as one of the world’s leading positive psychology experts on this research and how it can be applied to one’s life for maximum transformation and growth. Caroline blends personal experience, real life examples and cutting-edge research in positive psychology, to come up with practical applications that create fresh awareness of how to cultivate change. She is a best-selling author of six books, including a Creating Your Best Life , the first mass market self-help book on the science of happiness and how it intersects with the science of accomplishing goals. Her work has been featured in hundreds of worldwide media outlets, including BBC World News , The New York Times , The Washington Post , NBC , NPR and CNN . In this episode, Caroline and I talk about: - The risk of seeking happiness from extrinsic achievements, and how true happiness and success can be born out of failure. - Why hope is key to a healthy mindset, and how to inspire hope in others - The influence of language - The difference between authentic grit and 3 types of “bad” grit - How to identify and cultivate your passions I hope that you enjoy this interview, and it offers you inspiration to find or pursue your passion…and then, give it away. Meet somebody’s eyes today. Maybe, a stranger’s. Let yourself feel connected, letting any pretense fall away. As Caroline says, We can’t keep what we don’t give away – what can you offer to someone else? And, if you, like I was just last September, feel the call to follow a passion, to stand up for something, to do the thing, ask yourself – why not? Write those reasons down. Let them out of your system. Stare them down, give them a good look. Notice if they’re really aligned with reality. Those words, once captured on paper, may just point you to more reasons why you should. I deeply appreciate all of the reviews and shares that this podcast is getting and I would love your help in spreading these tools to more people – as always, please send along to anyone in your life who would resonate with the content I cover with my guests – AND – let me know what you think by leaving a review within iTunes or your Podcasts app on your iPhone.

Emily Hooks is an author, public speaker, and founder of the Forgiveness Academy™. She says she lived the first thirty-three years of life just managing the pain of her past, seeing her life as a tragic series of events. Until, 15 years ago, destitute and suffering from addiction, she had a moment of awakening. She didn’t earn a Ph.D. or study human behavior for decades to get to where she is today. She forgave. Everything in her life transformed when she chose to move through the pain she carried, let go of her limiting beliefs of who she was, and began to see the world with love, compassion and empathy. Most importantly, she now shares this deeply personal and transformative work as a forgiveness coach. As expected, this conversation dives deep. Emily and I cover several aspects on forgiveness, such as: - What is forgiveness? And, is it a moral obligation? - Why indifference is an indicator that you have some work to do. - Steps to begin a forgiveness process, including the power of ritual - The physiological, emotional and spiritual benefits of true forgiveness.…
