    Ep55. Returning to Stillness: A Meditation into the Truth of Who You Are

    Welcome to this special meditation episode of the Ask Sadhviji podcast, recorded live from Sattva, Rishikesh. In this deeply grounding and expansive meditation, Sadhviji gently guides you inward — away from noise, thought, and identity — and into the stillness of your true Self. Anchored in awareness and presence, this practice invites you to rest beyond the mind and reconnect with the quiet truth of who you are. The meditation opens with the sacred Asatoma prayer, invoking the ancient intention to move from illusion to truth, darkness to light, and fear to immortality. From there, Sadhviji leads you into a spacious exploration of awareness, helping you soften effort, release identification, and drop into being rather than doing. Whether you are new to meditation or a long-time practitioner, this offering is an invitation to come home to yourself — to the silent, steady awareness that has always been here. Allow yourself to settle, listen, and rest in the stillness of Being. If you would like to ask a question, please get in touch via social media (links below).

    Welcome to this special episode of the Ask Sadhviji podcast, recorded live in November at Sattva, Rishikesh. In this heart-opening satsang, Sadhviji explores connection as a profound form of medicine — the key to healing, happiness, and a meaningful life.

She reflects on purpose, karma yoga, and service, and shares the inner journey that brought her from the world of Hollywood to the spiritual heart of India — a journey captured in her memoir Hollywood to the Himalayas and her book of teachings, Come Home to Yourself. Through teachings, reflection, and guided goal visualisation, this satsang explores: Why connection is essential for happiness and healingYoga as a path of connection, not performanceHow purpose and karma yoga restore meaning in daily lifeThe power of intention, visualisation, and meditationWhat it truly means to come home to yourselfThis episode is an invitation to remember that healing doesn’t come from striving or fixing, but from reconnecting — with our true nature, our dharma, and the quiet wisdom already within us.
