Episode 35: How to Use Your Voice Walking Dharma

Speaking our truth is integral in healing ancestral trauma and allows us to cultivate the ability to express what we feel within our hearts and intuion. This episode explores how to effectively use your voice through the lense of yogic philosophy. We explore how to balance ahimsa, non-violence, and satya, truthfulness so we may speak our truth in a way that we are heard and feel empowered to be honest and in alignment with our integrity. We also explore how to balance viveka, discernment and vairagya, unattachment so we may say what we mean and mean what we say.


Yoga Sutra 2:35 and 2:36 guide our inquiry:


"In the presence of one established in non-violence all hostilities cease to exist." 2:35


&


"To one established in truthfulness, actions and their results become subservient." 2:36


Kristen shares a personal account of what inspired this episode and we dive into how to speak up and have hard conversations.
