"Belly Button Musings" is a podcast for anyone who wants to experience whimsical wisdom pulled from the navel. Each episode looks at an aspect of life chosen through intuition and experienced through life. The belly button is seen as spiritual and symbolic in many traditions representing a connection to the cosmic, the universe and ancestral wisdom. In yoga and Eastern philosophies, the navel is associated with the vital energy centre known as Manipura Chakra.
We share stories and gently explore life themes to improve our relationship to our lives, appreciating we are not alone in our experiences. We contemplate through the navel, with the energy of a light shower of rain, reflections and learnings to provide a new awareness and insight into how a life could be lived.

In this episode, Harinder and Alicia look at how limiting beliefs, often rooted in childhood experiences, shape our perceptions and behaviours throughout life. Through personal anecdotes, including Alicia's experience with an authoritative teacher and Harinder's journey in the workplace, they discuss the importance of self-inquiry and observation in recognising these narratives.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The stories we tell ourselves often stem from deep-seated limiting beliefs, such as feelings of inadequacy or not belonging. Recognising these narratives is the first step toward reframing them.
Personal experiences, especially from childhood, shape our current beliefs and behaviours. Reflecting on these moments can help us understand the origins of our limiting stories and how they continue to influence our lives.
Engaging with trusted individuals can provide valuable insights into our patterns and behaviours. Their feedback can help us identify blind spots and challenge the narratives we hold about ourselves.
We have the ability to change our stories and narratives at any point in our lives. By recognising that our past does not define us, we can choose to create new, empowering stories that align with our true potential.
Acknowledging and accepting our past experiences, including the stories we tell ourselves, is crucial for personal growth. Practicing self-compassion allows us to let go of negative narratives and embrace a more positive and hopeful outlook on life.
BEST MOMENTS
"I had been living in a lie, thinking I wasn't capable. When I really was, I knew that I had done this."
"When we dig into the stories that we believe that are on repeat play, there's a deeper message underneath."
"It can take years to be in a position where, to even ask ourselves the question, why does the same thing keep happening?"
"We are so connected to the circumstance that we are one with it. If I'm not enough, then I identify, well, I'm personally not enough."
"Our stories can change. We can see our stories and we can choose to define ourselves differently."

HOST BIO
I am Harinder. Having worked closely with people from all over the world professionally in a corporate setting and since, carving out my own path in the past few years. I am an illustrator, artist and designer. I use intuitive creativity and my leadership skills for transformational coaching. I also create tools for personal and team development. Not new to podcasting, I have previously co-created a mini podcast series called How to Land Your Ideal Job.
With this podcast series, I wanted to share my life learnings particularly during the fallow period of life when my life’s direction has not been clear and I’ve had to dig deep below the various identities I had collected and assumed to reconnect with who I really am. Digging through the proverbial lead to share golden nuggets of insight. I hope to take people on mellow belly button contemplations that lead to questions for self inquiry and open up new imagined possibilities to new realities.
