The Awake Yoga Meditation Podcast Awake Yoga Meditation

Dear Feel Love Now Community,
In the sixth chakra, ajna, we see the first glimpse of bliss. Clarity comes and we listen to our inner guidance. We begin to understand that there is something within us that is immortal, eternal, and beyond limitation. We become empowered to let go of negative attitudes, habits, and emotions and no longer find negativity to be to our advantage.
In this episode, Swami Shankarananda, Swami Nityananda’s teacher and founder of Awake Yoga Meditation, describes how vibration permeates everything, why self-inquiry is so important, and how our focus helps bring about what we want to experience in our lives.

Dear Feel Love Now Community,
The fifth chakra, visuddha, holds our power of freedom of choice. It can lead us towards awareness of our highest self and pure consciousness (pure thoughts) or it can lead us into false pride (impure thoughts). Swami Shankarananda describes how we can choose healing instead of pain, freedom instead of bondage, and compassion instead of suffering.
