In this powerful episode of Sacred Harmony, Dr. Jonathan Locust shares his extraordinary journey of self-healing and spiritual transformation. From being told he’d need lifelong medication to achieving complete healing through fasting, meditation, and forgiveness, Dr. Locust’s story bridges science and spirit in the most authentic way. He opens up about using consciousness to understand illness, transforming trauma into inner alchemy, and how true nourishment extends far beyond food — into the realms of energy, forgiveness, and divine alignment. The episode explores the creation of ConsciRise, a community that promotes integrity and accountability in the wellness industry. Dr. Locust also dives into past-life regression, hypnosis, and the remembrance of soul patterns — reminding listeners that healing isn’t something we find, but something we remember. This conversation is a masterclass in consciousness, resilience, and the power of discernment in modern spirituality.   About the Guest  : Dr. Jonathan Locust is a transformational leader, consciousness researcher, and founder of ConsciRise, a vetted global platform connecting seekers with trustworthy wellness practitioners. With a background in psychology, education, and hypnosis, Dr. Locust integrates science and spirituality to guide others toward self-mastery and conscious healing. His work focuses on integrity, intentional fasting, and the remembrance of higher consciousness through lived experience.   Key Takeaways  : Healing begins with forgiveness — not only of others but of oneself. Conscious fasting can open pathways to emotional and spiritual awakening. True nourishment is multidimensional — it feeds the body, mind, and soul. Pain becomes purpose when aligned with integrity and service to others. KiRise was born from a need for transparency in the spiritual wellness space. Discernment is a divine tool that connects us to higher guidance and protection. The mind’s capacity to rewrite its own patterns reflects the power of remembering, not reinventing. Integrating past-life awareness and conscious practices dissolves separation between the seen and unseen. Spiritual integrity must replace opportunism in the wellness industry to foster genuine transformation. Healing isn’t found — it’s remembered through connection, service, and inner alignment.   Connect with Dr. Jonathan Locust   Website: https://www.conscirise.com/ LinkedIn | Instagram | YouTubeLearn more about ConsciRise and join the community for conscious seekers and practitioners.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PodMatch – Send me a message:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

On this episode of Sacred Harmony, host Archita Garg sits down with Dylan Borland, founder of Caden Academy, to break down a direct, practical approach to conscious creation. We unpack how imagination—paired with felt emotion and faith—can shift identity, dissolve victim mindset, and align daily action with outcomes. Dylan explains living “from the end,” what most people get wrong about visualization, and why surrender (not force) accelerates results. This conversation is designed to be actionable for listeners curious about manifestation frameworks, Neville Goddard–style methods, and nervous-system alignment—without fluff. If you’ve wondered how to move from reactive living to deliberate creation, this is a clear starting point. About the Guest   Dylan Borland is the founder of Caden Academy, a school focused on conscious creation and inner transformation. He teaches a pragmatic framework that blends timeless wisdom with repeatable practices to help people remember their creative power and design outcomes intentionally. Key Takeaways:   Imagination is a creative mechanism, not fantasy; pairing vivid scenes with emotion and sensory detail drives results. “Live in the end” means embodying the state of the wish fulfilled now—not wishing, forcing, or future-casting. Visualization alone is incomplete; the missing element is feeling plus sustained faith despite current circumstances. Shift out of victimhood by remembering you’re not separate from creative power; identity change precedes life change. Short, repeatable inner scenes (1–2 minutes) that imply completion are more effective than long mental movies. Surrender and flow (Wu wei) beat willpower; forcing often stalls outcomes and increases stress. Treat life as iterative chapters; you can “die to the old self” and draft a new one at any time. Collective narratives aside, your lived reality reflects inner assumptions—update the inner script to see outer shifts. Practical start: pick one outcome, design a brief congratulatory scene, feel it fully, and revisit it consistently. Connect and share experiments inside a community to build proof, accountability, and momentum. Some statements reflect personal belief and experiences and are presented as individual views, not medical advice. Listeners should consult qualified professionals for medical conditions.

On this Sacred Harmony episode, host Archita speaks with Allison Davis about how music can ground a restless mind, build inner stability, and translate faith and values into daily practice. From growing up in a musical and spiritual home to discovering jazz as a catalyst for aliveness, Allison explains “true harmony” as a disciplined choice: pause, listen, and align behavior with core values. She offers simple, actionable ways to integrate sound—singing, instruments, and intentional playlists—into routines for clarity, focus, and emotional regulation. This direct conversation reframes creativity at any age and shows how musical flow can inform relationships, work, and personal growth.   About the guest  : Allison Davis is a lifelong music lover and harmony singer who uses sound as a tool for inner peace and purpose. A “youthful” grandmother and great-grandmother, she champions late-life creativity, practical spirituality, and everyday music practices to reset the nervous system and refocus the mind.   Key takeaways:   “True harmony” is chosen daily: pause, notice your state, and realign with core values. Music is a fast path to regulation—turn it on, turn it up, and let rhythm interrupt negative loops. Jazz awakened Alison’s sense of worth and aliveness; find the genre that speaks to you personally. External harmony can’t be controlled; inner harmony comes from accepting differences and “agreeing to disagree.” Faith practice + music practice = sustainable peace; sing or play even on hard days. Start small: one song, one chord, or five minutes of intentional listening can shift mood and focus. Use music to work better: soft background tracks (e.g., jazz) help reduce overwhelm and improve attention. Morning check-in ritual: name one thing you’re grateful for before your feet touch the floor, then give it a melody. Instruments are regulation tools—keep one accessible to reset in real time. It’s never too late to create; visible late-life learning inspires family and community.   Connect with the guest  : Email: Alimarie54@icloud.comWebsite (coming soon): becominggolden.coach   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatchDM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

On Sacred Harmony, we speak with Anil Gupta—internationally known as “The Love Doctor,” TEDx speaker, and bestselling author—about simple, repeatable systems for better relationships and a calmer mind. Anil breaks down his Happiness Formula (Give × Gratitude × Grow), shows how to use a Relationship Score to spot what to improve next, and outlines daily actions that compound into lasting change. If you’re looking to strengthen connection at home, with friends, or at work, this episode gives you practical language, mindset shifts, and micro-habits you can apply today   About the guest  : Anil Gupta is a relationship and mindset mentor, three-time bestselling author, and TEDx speaker who has guided audiences from small rooms to arenas of 10,000+. He’s coached public figures, spoken on Richard Branson’s island, and shared stages with global leaders. His approach is direct, tool-driven, and focused on measurable change in everyday life.   Key takeaways   Happiness Formula = Give × Gratitude × Grow: give without expectation; practice specific gratitude (e.g., thanking your hands, health, partner); commit to growth—emotional, physical, spiritual, mental, financial. Relationship Score (0–10): pick a person, assign a score, then ask, “What would make it 0.1 higher?”—tiny, concrete upgrades drive momentum. Communication that lands: swap generic “I love you” for clear appreciations (who they are, what they do, how you’ll show up); watch tone and ask better questions. Awareness protocol: awareness → clarity → focus → action → results → momentum. Don’t absorb others’ moods; ask, “Are you upset with me or something else? How can I help?” Compounding micro-habits: 5 daily acts of kindness + lists of 10 gratitudes and 10 accomplishments build confidence and connection over time. Mindset reframe: what you focus on expands—train attention toward what is working to shift state and behavior quickly. Universal needs: status and wealth don’t remove the desire to feel loved, worthy, and that we belong—the tools work for singles, couples, families, and teams.   Connect with the guest  : Book coaching on his website or speaking and follow Anil’s work: search “Anil Gupta Love Doctor” on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, and visit his official website for contact and booking details.   If you’re in immediate crisis, contact local emergency services or your regional suicide prevention helpline.

On Sacred Harmony, we explore Astral Reiki with energy practitioner Scarlett Seebach—how projecting the light body can deliver cleaner, more precise sessions than traditional distance or in-person Reiki. We dig into grounding and protection protocols, crystal grids (rose quartz, labradorite, fluorite, amethyst, tourmalinated quartz), and why Human Design helps tailor session intensity across centers like sacral, spleen, G, and root. Practical tools include tree co-regulation, energetic boundaries, cord-cutting, and choosing crystals to reduce leaks and speed integration.   About the guest   Scarlett Seebach is a Reiki Master and crystal healing specialist who developed Astral Reiki, channeling life-force through the astral/light body for efficient, targeted sessions. She blends Human Design insights with practical grounding and protection to create safer, faster energetic results.   Key takeaways: Astral Reiki vs. traditional Reiki: Channeling through the astral/light body (not the physical body) can feel cleaner, more precise, and often integrates faster for clients. Efficiency & intensity: Astral Reiki may produce stronger sensations; pace and dosage should match a client’s sensitivity and energetic definition. Human Design as a map: Defined/undefined centers inform how much intensity to use; projectors with openness may need gentler pacing than highly defined manifesting generators. Center-specific support: Use crystals aligned to centers—e.g., red jasper for root stability, carnelian for an undefined sacral, obsidian for spleen support, pink stones for the G center. Crystal grid essentials: Rose quartz, labradorite, blue quartz, fluorite, apophyllite, amethyst, plus tourmalinated quartz towers for protection. Grounding protocol: Visualize white light from the galactic center and red light from Earth meeting at the heart to create a stabilizing golden current. Protection matters: Call in protective allies (e.g., Archangel Michael), set a safe energetic container, and reinforce with a protection-focused grid. Boundaries prevent burnout: Cut cords post-session; separate “my energy” vs. “their energy”; schedule quiet time to recover from verbal/energetic exchange. Nature co-regulation: Hugging or sitting with trees helps regulate the nervous system and restore energetic balance. Awareness + tools: Noticing field shifts is step one; use cleansing practices to keep the aura, emotions, and body clear.   Connect with the guest   Website: www.astralreiki.netSubscribe to Scarlett’s newsletter for insights on energy work and human design.

In this episode of Sacred Harmony, we explore how yoga extends beyond the mat and into every aspect of daily life. Veronique Ory, an intuitive movement and mindful awareness guide, yoga teacher, and author of Shine On and Off the Mat, shares practical ways to cultivate calm, clarity, and alignment in everyday routines. From morning rituals and mindful movement to playful, intuitive practices, Veronique reveals how small intentional interventions can help navigate transitions, loss, and the modern world's fast pace. Learn how to integrate yoga principles into relationships, work, and personal growth, and discover how mindfulness, breath, and presence can transform ordinary moments into opportunities for resilience, joy, and self-awareness. About the Guest:Veronique Ory is a yoga teacher, intuitive movement guide, mindful awareness coach, and author of Shine On and Off the Mat. Through her classes, workshops, and the Shine Membership community, she helps individuals translate yoga’s principles into daily life, cultivating balance, mindfulness, and joy. Key Takeaways: Yoga isn’t just on the mat—it’s a lifestyle that can inform daily routines and decision-making. Morning rituals, whether meditation, movement, or silent reflection, set the tone for resilience and presence throughout the day. Mindful awareness in small daily actions, like responding to messages or washing dishes, cultivates patience, focus, and peace. Intuitive movement allows the body to guide its practice, whether through stillness, stretching, or flowing motion. Playfulness and curiosity in movement and mindfulness deepen the mind-body connection and enhance well-being. Seasonal and natural cycles, like the moon phases or environmental changes, can guide emotional and spiritual practice. Storytelling combined with movement amplifies the impact of classes, fostering community, self-expression, and inner transformation. Mindful attention to the present moment enables more thoughtful interactions, reducing reactivity and enhancing joy.

In this episode of Inner Light, host Sana welcomes Michael Elliot, a digital advertising expert turned AI strategist, to discuss why businesses that delay AI adoption risk being left behind. Michael shares actionable insights on how AI can transform sales, customer service, and operational efficiency while emphasizing the human element in technology integration. From reducing workload through intelligent automation to spotting churn risks before they happen, this conversation highlights the future of business in an AI-driven world. Michael also explores the mindset shift leaders need to embrace innovation and thrive amid rapid technological change. About the Guest:Michael Elliot is an entrepreneur and AI strategist with extensive experience in digital advertising and business transformation. Having built multi-million-pound companies, Michael specializes in implementing AI solutions that improve efficiency, predict revenue trends, and drive business growth. His expertise combines marketing knowledge with a deep understanding of human behavior and technology. Key Takeaways: AI adoption is no longer optional; businesses risk falling behind competitors if they delay. Focus on key areas first: sales processes, data management, customer support, and churn detection. Gradual implementation ensures teams can adapt to technological change without overwhelm. AI enhances human decision-making rather than replacing it, allowing employees to focus on revenue-generating and strategic tasks. Leaders must overcome fear and embrace change to harness AI’s full potential. System prompts and AI workflows can automate repetitive tasks while optimizing outputs consistently. AI tools empower businesses to predict trends, improve customer experience, and reduce operational inefficiencies. The future of search, marketing, and customer interaction is AI-driven, requiring proactive adoption and learning. Viewing AI as an entrepreneurial opportunity helps individuals create business advantages rather than fear job loss.

On this episode of Sacred Harmony, host and somatic practitioner Melanie Smithson explains how movement becomes medicine for emotional and spiritual healing. Melanie — a dancer since age four, licensed somatic psychotherapist and spiritual integration hypnotherapist — shares simple somatic interventions (breath, tracking sensation, shaking, embodiment practices) that dissolve long-held tension, lower anxiety, and open access to joy. Listeners will learn practical exercises to use in everyday moments, how therapists can ethically integrate body-based work, and ways to support clients to safely release somatic blocks. If you struggle with chronic worry, stuck patterns, or find spiritual practice missing the body, this episode gives clear, actionable steps to bring the body back into healing. Subscribe to Sacred Harmony and listen to a short guided practice inside the episode. About the guest: Melanie Smithson — dancer since age four; licensed somatic psychotherapist; spiritual integration hypnotherapist; award-winning author. Three decades guiding people to release limiting patterns through movement, somatic practices, and trance-based spiritual integration. Key takeaways: Somatic memory: emotions are often stored in sensation across the body (legs, chest, back, stomach); releasing requires bodily attention. Notice before narrating: stop, breathe, and track sensation — simple awareness often reduces intensity immediately. Movement maps emotion: follow sensation into movement (shake, punch, tremor, spread arms) to transform held patterns. Shake practice: shaking dissipates rumination and physiological charge; animals use it post-threat — humans can use intentional shaking to discharge. Expand joy with posture: big, loud movement (safe context) counters learned limits on happiness and re-trains the nervous system. Mind–body pairing: moving at the speed of your busy mind (fast movement) helps slow and settle racing thoughts. Give-up reframe: physicalized “giving up” (lifting arms, releasing) returns weight to spirit rather than resignation. Clinical integration: therapists can ethically add body checks, sensation tracking, and movement to amplify modalities like EMDR. Micro-practices: breath, soften shoulders, step back, or a 30-second shake provide immediate regulation tools in daily situations. Spiritual alignment: trance/hypnosis can access non-embodied guidance that suggests embodied practices for release and freedom. Therapist note: begin with safety and containment—ensure movement practices occur in contexts where clients feel secure. Practical result: embodied practices restore agency, reduce contraction, and create more room for presence, play, and joy.

On Sacred Harmony, we cut through the noise on trauma recovery. Therapist Wendy Byrd explains how trauma is stored in the brain, why awareness alone doesn’t shift patterns, and what actually creates durable change: memory reconsolidation, EMDR, somatic reprocessing, and integrating soul-level meaning. We cover early childhood imprints, implicit memory, the default mode network, and how updating old learnings unlocks choice, safety, and connection. Clear, practical, grounded—built for listeners who want results, not rhetoric.   About the guest  :   Wendy Byrd is a nationally recognized trauma therapist and creator of the ARISE Method, blending memory reconsolidation, EMDR foundations, body-based processing, and spiritual inquiry to help clients transform shame, fear, and powerlessness into agency and wholeness.   Key takeaways: Trauma isn’t only “big events”; chronic criticism, misattunement, and bullying can wire persistent threat responses in the brain. Before age seven, the brain absorbs messages with minimal filters; early labels (e.g., “not good enough”) can drive later reactivity. Awareness ≠ change: the brain prioritizes safety and resists altering circuits that once protected you. Memory reconsolidation works by activating a target memory and introducing contradictory, lived experiences, allowing the brain to rewrite the learning. Working memory taxing and somatic reprocessing help loosen stuck patterns so updates “stick.” Symptoms (overreactivity, people-pleasing, overachieving) are clues; change the stored learning, and symptoms often resolve downstream. Clearing shame/fear reduces mind-chatter (default mode network) and frees capacity for purpose, performance, and deeper relationships. Adult agency matters: when old memories are updated, you gain choices—set boundaries, leave unsafe dynamics, speak up. Spiritual inquiry can be ethically integrated after safety is established, supporting meaning-making and lasting integration. Healing can be faster than talk therapy alone when methods target the brain’s update mechanisms.   Connect with the guest  : Website / resources: https://wendybyrd.com/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this episode of Sacred Harmony, we unpack the link between cardiac/circadian rhythm, consciousness, and mindset with Jason Yun, founder of Improvement Warrior Fitness. We explore how light, sleep timing, and daily habits recalibrate hormones, energy, focus, and emotional presence—plus practical steps to realign your internal clock without relying on hustle, caffeine, or quick fixes. If you’re curious about optimizing sleep, cortisol, dopamine, melatonin, hydration, and focus for better decision-making and soul-aligned living, this is for you.   About the guest  : Jason Yun is the founder of Improvement Warrior Fitness. He coaches clients on circadian biology, behavior change, and practical habit design to restore energy, mood, and performance through light, sleep, movement, and environment.   Key takeaways : Circadian first: Before extreme workouts or diets, stabilize sleep/wake timing and morning light exposure to support hormones, energy, and focus. Morning light matters: Viewing natural morning light (no sunglasses) helps set the master clock that influences cortisol, alertness, and nighttime melatonin. Reduce evening blue light: Dimming screens and overheads after sunset supports deeper sleep, calmer mood, and next-day clarity. Movement as rhythm, not punishment: Break up long sitting with short movement bursts to improve circulation, mood, and attention. Hydration and breathing: Regular water intake and nasal, slower breathing practices aid calm and recovery. Environment design: If you work under artificial light, add daylight breaks, move meetings near windows, and consider screen hygiene to lower overstimulation. Mindset follows physiology: When sleep and rhythms improve, people often report better self-talk, presence, and purpose. Small steps, sustained change: Layer one change at a time—morning light, screen curfew, movement snacks—then build.  How to Connect with the Guest:   Download his free health guide Website: https://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com/ This content is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

On Sacred Harmony, we explore how creativity becomes a practical path for trauma processing and identity repair. Artist Devorah Brinckerhoff (RISD-trained; creator of Soul Portraits) shares how painting, collage, and mixed media help people move from overwhelm to integration—honoring painful histories without bypassing them. We discuss using personal artifacts (letters, photos, legal notices) inside artwork to “disassemble and reassemble” identity, why integration precedes transformation, and how everyday creativity (gardening, cooking, music, journaling) builds resilience. This conversation is direct, grounded, and designed for listeners searching for clear, humane tools—on and off the canvas.   About the guest   Devorah Brinckerhoff is a professional artist and creator of Soul Portraits, a mixed-media process that weaves personal artifacts into commissioned works to support grief, trauma processing, celebration, and life transitions. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, she has guided individuals and groups for 30+ years in using art to reconnect with an authentic, integrated self. Key takeaways   Creativity is innate; it’s not a talent test. Everyday creative states (writing, gardening, cooking, music) loosen cognitive grip and restore self-connection. Integration before transformation: acknowledge, allow, and accept experiences to reduce resistance; transformation follows naturally. Using personal artifacts (letters, photos, documents) inside artwork helps “disassemble” old roles and “reassemble” identity with agency. Art safely holds taboo or complex topics; nonverbal making can come before words, building capacity to speak later without retraumatization. Shadow and light are interdependent—like in-breath/out-breath. The goal isn’t to erase shadow but to bring light to it. Body cues are the greenlight: material surfaces when we’re ready; relief often replaces fear during breakthroughs. Grief needs space. Unprocessed losses (e.g., miscarriage, divorce, estrangement) can move when witnessed creatively. Resilience grows through self-connection; creative flow states cultivate hope and nervous system regulation. You can do this work yourself; outside support helps, but the core tools live within you. Practical start: pick one object from your past, collage it into a page or canvas, journal for 10 minutes about what shifts.   How to connect with Devora  h Website/Portfolio: https://www.soulportrait.art/ Social: Search “Devorah Brinckerhoff ” on Facebook/Instagram   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Sacred Harmony, we cut through the mystique of spirituality and get practical. Spiritual strategist and dream interpreter Caleb Matthews explains how to align with “Heaven’s frequency” by treating intuition as a skill, not a slogan. We unpack a three-part model of spirit, soul, and body; a simple method to decode dreams without taking them literally; and how to guard your inner sanctuary with a no-fluff “important vs. average vs. not important” pie-chart audit. If you want clear steps to translate inner signals into daily action—at work, at home, and in your creative life—this episode is for you.   About the guest   Caleb Matthews is a spiritual strategist, dream interpreter, and speaker. He has guided thousands—from festivals to Bible colleges—on awakening spiritual senses and turning insight into responsible action.   Key takeaways: Spiritual alignment is practical: view humans as spirit, soul, and body; aim for coherence, not perfection. Intuition is a muscle: everyone can tune in, but consistency builds strength—minutes of focused intent beat hours of performative practice. Dream decoding 101: ask “What is this a picture of?” before chasing literal meanings; symbolism depends on your personal associations. Avoid common dream traps: taking images literally, projecting fears, or ignoring context. Treat dreams as guidance, not commands. Build your inner sanctuary: peace is “the potting soil of revelation.” Two to three mindful minutes on waking can anchor the day. Protect your focus: run a life pie chart—important (purpose, relationships, time with God), average (health, errands), not important (short-term vanity metrics). Prioritize accordingly. Translate intuition to action: pair the five physical senses with five spiritual senses (discernment, foresight, etc.) to make decisions you can test in real life. When intuition misleads: it’s often “too many chefs in the kitchen.” Choose one trusted source and reduce signal noise. Practical rule: intuition guides; it should not run on autopilot. Validate with values, evidence, and consequences. Small habit, big payoff: brief, consistent practices (gratitude, reflection, journaling dreams) create long-term clarity.   Connect with the guest   Website (speaking/content): http://www.calebmatthews.net/ YouTube: The SeeLink  Workspace/Airbnb for creators: www.theitinerantoasis.com Instagram: Caleb on the runway X/Twitter: Caleb Matthws   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Sacred Harmony, host Pragya sits down with DK Kang—author, martial artist, and wellness advocate—to unpack resilience as a daily spiritual practice. From breathwork, Bible study, and movement, to plant-forward eating and ancestral ferments like kimchi, DK shares how he and his wife navigated infertility, a 2024 breast-cancer diagnosis, and a sudden layoff. We explore reframing setbacks, habit stacking, and taking small, consistent actions that restore agency. If you’re in a hard season, this conversation offers grounded tools—not hype—to help you move forward with clarity and discipline. About the guest  : DK Kang is an author and long-time martial artist who blends mindset training, spiritual discipline, and plant-based living. His book Mindset Metamorphosis focuses on practical steps to get unstuck and take ownership. He offers a newsletter with a free first chapter download and is most responsive via email.   Key takeaways: Resilience is built through daily practice—breathwork, short meditation, movement, and spiritual reading—not through occasional bursts of willpower. Reframing matters: shift from “Why is this happening to me?” to “Why not me—and how can this experience serve others?” Small steps compound: one healthy meal cooked at home each week; a 10-minute walk; one page written. Consistency beats intensity. Food as medicine: prioritizing whole, minimally processed, plant-forward foods and traditional ferments (e.g., kimchi) can support digestion, energy, mood, and immune function. Gut health is foundational: fermented foods provide probiotics that may support immune resilience; focus on nourishment you can control at home. Values guide choices: define what matters (e.g., showing up for a loved one’s treatment) and align your calendar accordingly. Reflect to stay motivated: review where you were 6–12 months ago to recognize progress when day-to-day gains feel slow. Own your next action: mentors, therapy, and practical frameworks (habit stacking, discipline, clear goals) help convert insight into motion.   Medical Disclaimer: The views shared in this episode are personal experiences and opinions and are provided for educational and informational purposes only.

On this episode of Sacred Harmony, host Pragya talks with trauma-recovery expert and IReAwake founder Mridula Agarwal about opting out of the hustle trap without opting out of success. From student pressures and social benchmarks to burnout and identity loss, Mridula lays out how to stop running on autopilot, reconnect with your inner compass, and design a life that’s both sustainable and self-defined. If you’ve ever “won” by external standards and still felt empty, this conversation gives you a clear, practical reset—no fluff, just honest strategy you can act on today.   About the guest   Mridula Agarwal is a trauma-recovery expert and founder of IReAwake. She helps people untangle conditioning, rebuild self-trust, and align work, relationships, and health around what genuinely matters—without glorifying grind culture.   Key takeaways: Success measured by titles, grades, and paychecks often disconnects you from what actually makes you feel alive. External scripts (“elite college, hot major, high-pay job”) can override your inner compass if you don’t pause and audit them. Ask better metrics: Am I healthy? Do I wake up energized? Do I contribute meaningfully? Burnout is a signal: prolonged misalignment between your gifts and your daily actions. Integration beats either/or thinking—blend creativity with logic to make passions economically viable. Traits trained outside the classroom (sport, art, nature) often power real-world excellence (discipline, spontaneity, resilience). If work triggers heaviness, anxiety, or constant procrastination, treat that as data—not a moral failure. Redefine success as a both/and: fulfilled, financially stable, relationally present, and physically well. Practical start: identify one activity that reliably restores you; schedule it non-negotiably and build adjacent income experiments. Comparison is useless—different contexts produce different choices; two lives aren’t comparable, so neither are their “races.”   How to connect with the guest   Discovery sessions and paid consultations available - https://ireawake.com/ Weekly Saturday night group healing Zoom sessions (nominal fee) — good first step for people seeking gentle support - https://ireawake.com/product/online-reiki-healing-session-every-saturday/ Links and booking details: https://ireawake.com/paid-appointment-call-2hr-usd-99/ https://ireawake.com/30-min-free-appointment/.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this episode of Sacred Harmony, we unpack a practical framework for helping kids learn—especially those with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD—by starting with what they already love. Guest Russell Van Brocklen explains how to flip the script from “general-to-specific” to “specific-to-general” questioning, and why engaging the front-of-brain word analysis → articulation pathway fuels better outcomes. From comic-book lore and soccer drills to Walt Disney biographies, Russell shows how parents can create measurable progress using short, consistent sessions, audio tools, and writing as a feedback loop. Real case studies (including a 6-month jump from grade-2 to grade-10 reading) illustrate how passion-based learning builds organization, confidence, and resilience—without expensive specialized schools. This is a direct, no-fluff conversation about what actually works at home and in class. About the Guest  : Russell Van Brocklen is an educator and learning strategist focused on dyslexia and attention-related learning challenges. Drawing on lived experience, policy exposure, and years of hands-on coaching with families, he helps kids organize thinking, accelerate literacy, and re-enter mainstream classrooms with confidence. Key Takeaways: Start with the child’s specialty (music, sports, comics, faith stories): curiosity drives effort and retention. Use specific → general questions to force natural organization of ideas; finish with articulation (explain it back). Anchor reading/writing to one compelling text over time (e.g., a Walt Disney biography) to build deep comprehension. Make progress measurable: short writing outputs act as objective feedback loops. Keep sessions short and consistent (e.g., 3×30 minutes/week); progress compounds faster than long, infrequent blocks. For dyslexia/AD(H)D, audio + text (TTS apps) lets kids study material slightly above current level—creates a productive “stretch.” Collaborate with teachers on small accommodations (e.g., extra time for written work) once the child re-enters mainstream class. Expect some resistance after intervention; set boundaries while protecting the child’s new competence and confidence. Parents don’t need elite schools: targeted home practice can outperform costly programs. Values matter: respect, patience, and clarity help communities support neurodiverse learners.   How to Connect with the Guest   Website & contact form: dyslexiaclasses.com → “Contact Me” Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Sacred Harmony, host Aanya sits down with Robert Lattig, founder of Roots Kava Bar and an ethnogenic online shop, to explore how kava is redefining social spaces and wellness. From Fiji’s cultural traditions to New York’s modern wellness community, Robert shares how he and his wife transformed a closing bar into a thriving hub for conscious connection. The conversation dives into the challenges of sourcing, regulation, and education, and why kava isn’t just a drink—it’s a ritual that opens hearts, builds community, and inspires healing. This is a powerful dialogue about balancing business with mission, honoring indigenous roots, and creating safe spaces for people to gather, connect, and experience plant medicines in an intentional way. About the Guest  : Robert Lattig is the visionary behind Roots Kava Bar, blending entrepreneurship with conscious community building. With a passion for plant medicines and herbal wellness, Robert and his wife have built both an online ethnogenic shop and a flagship kava bar in New York, offering people a safe, intentional alternative to alcohol-driven spaces. Key Takeaways   Kava has deep cultural roots in the Pacific Islands, used for ceremonies, connection, and spiritual practices. Roots Kava Bar was founded to preserve a local community space and expand access to plant medicines. Balancing regulation with tradition remains a challenge, especially in states like New York with strict health codes. Education is key: every cup can be a teaching moment about history, sourcing, and conscious consumption. Community events like sound baths, yoga, and open mic nights turn the bar into more than a business—it’s a healing hub. Plant medicines like kava and kanna can support emotional openness, therapeutic conversations, and deeper connection. Sustainability and ethics matter: sourcing high-quality herbs, avoiding shortcuts, and respecting indigenous traditions guide their mission. Sacred work still requires practical grounding—business decisions and community care must coexist.

In this episode of Sacred Harmony, host Aanya is joined by writer and seeker Robert Hamburger to explore what it truly means to thrive in uncertain and chaotic times. Together, they reflect on fear, pain, uncertainty, and the search for harmony in today’s world. Robert shares personal stories—like the grief of losing a beloved pet—that became profound teachers of resilience. From embracing pain as a guide to finding liberation in uncertainty, this conversation is a deep dive into authenticity and inner balance. Listeners will walk away with a reminder that thriving isn’t about fixing the strangeness of the world but about meeting it with presence, acceptance, and courage. About the Guest  : Robert Hamburger is a writer, storyteller, and truth-seeker who explores human transformation through raw honesty. His work blends spirituality with lived experience, inviting others to embrace authenticity and discover wisdom in unexpected places.

Authentic storytelling carries timeless power to heal, connect, and awaken. Certainty is an illusion; freedom lies in openness and presence. Daily practices like meditation and time in nature build resilience and inner harmony. Harmony begins within—only then can we recognize and create it in the world around us.

In this episode of Sacred Harmony, we sit down with Rich Lewis—author of Sitting with God and longtime practitioner of Centering Prayer—to explore the transformative power of silence. Rich shares how a search for spiritual depth led him to this meditative practice, and how it has reshaped his relationship with God, his inner world, and daily life. Alongside Centering Prayer, he integrates affirmations, journaling, visualization, and gratitude as complementary tools for growth and alignment. This conversation offers practical steps for anyone seeking calm, clarity, and spiritual grounding, whether religious or not. About the Guest  : Rich Lewis is an author, speaker, and coach who has practiced Centering Prayer since 2014. His book Sitting with God invites readers into the practice of stillness as a way to deepen spirituality and unlock inner transformation. Rich teaches individuals and groups around the world how to integrate silence into daily living and has made it his mission to show that stillness is not empty—it’s alive with possibility. Key Takeaways:   Silence is not a void but a doorway to inner healing, wisdom, and connection with God. Centering Prayer is both meditation and prayer—it blends wordless stillness with openness to divine presence. Resistance in silence is natural; the key is to show up consistently without judging the experience. Journaling helps capture nudges, inner insights, and directions revealed through stillness. Affirmations and visualization before prayer allow intentional partnering with God on life goals. Gratitude, practiced daily, shifts focus from scarcity to abundance and strengthens spiritual perspective. Beginners can start with just 5 minutes a day for 30 days, gradually extending the practice. Complementary practices like affirmations, journaling, and gratitude expand the benefits of silence.

In this episode of Sacred Harmony, host Aanya speaks with Briana Ellison, transformational coach, energy healer, and founder of the Rise and Align Membership. Together, they explore how simple daily routines rooted in mindfulness can create profound transformation in everyday life. Briana shares practical tools like breathwork, journaling, and gratitude practices that anyone can start immediately—without overwhelm. She explains how mindset and energy shifts naturally lead to healthier habits, why community and accountability matter in sustaining change, and how presence can guide us toward clarity and purpose. If you’ve ever felt too busy, stressed, or inconsistent to keep up with self-care, this conversation will remind you that transformation begins with small, intentional steps. About the Guest   Briana Ellison is a transformational coach, energy healer, and the founder of the Rise and Align Membership. Her work blends nutrition, mindfulness, energy healing, and mindset practices to help women reconnect with their intuition and design lives filled with balance, purpose, and abundance. Key Takeaways   Small, consistent routines create bigger shifts than overwhelming practices. Breathwork is a powerful tool to reset the nervous system and transition between roles. Mindfulness is simply about pausing to be present—whether through journaling, walking in nature, or sitting in silence. Gratitude journaling before bed shifts focus to positivity and sets the tone for the next day. True wellness is multi-dimensional, involving nutrition, movement, mindset, and energy practices. Healing often means uncovering buried emotions that surface as physical symptoms. Consistency doesn’t require perfection—“done is better than none.” Community and accountability provide essential support for sustaining transformation. Starting mornings with intentional time creates calm and clarity for the whole day. Progress shows up subtly—as more peace, focus, and connection to intuition.

On this episode of Sacred Harmony, we explore a raw and powerful story of courage, healing, and rediscovery. Author and kinesiologist Amanda J. Scott shares her seventeen-year journey through an abusive marriage, the turning point that set her free, and the spiritual awakening that helped her reclaim her life. From the quiet strength found in nature to the importance of self-trust, friendships, and boundaries, Amanda reveals how healing is not only possible—it is transformative. This episode offers clarity and guidance for anyone navigating toxic relationships, seeking self-respect, or finding their way back home to themselves. About the Guest   Amanda J. Scott is an author and kinesiologist whose book Finding My Way Back to Me chronicles her path of breaking free from abuse and rediscovering her identity. Today, she helps others navigate their own healing journeys, drawing from lived experience and practical tools to empower women to reclaim their voice, worth, and freedom. Key Takeaways   Abuse wears many masks—emotional, financial, physical, and sexual abuse can all erode self-worth and create silence. Acknowledging abuse is the first and most powerful step toward freedom. Nature can provide sacred space for healing, self-reflection, and reconnecting with intuition. Healthy relationships are built on respect, safety, and growth—not fear, control, or silence. Friendships and support systems are vital in leaving and healing from abusive situations. Writing and storytelling can be a powerful path to processing emotions and inspiring others. Every woman deserves to feel safe, respected, and free to live life on her own terms.
