    #260 Forgiveness: The Art of Making The Body Feel Safe Again with Dr. Vignesh Devraj MD (Ay)

    In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj moves beyond the moral ideas of being “nice” or “letting things go.” This conversation reframes forgiveness as a form of emotional and biological recovery.

    #259 The Art of Setting Healthy Boundaries with Dr Vignesh Devraj MD (Ay) and Ananta Ripa Ajmera

    Lets understand what healthy boundaries truly mean, not as rigid walls of protection, but as living, conscious guidelines rooted in self-knowledge. This conversation looks at why boundaries keep shifting, how attachment and detachment coexist, and when boundaries turn self-destructive. We discuss how the body communicates its limits through signals like fatigue, digestion issues, skin breakouts, and even chronic disease and why ignoring these signals comes at a cost. This episode is for anyone who feels “bad at boundaries” and is ready to replace control with clarity, fear with awareness, and resistance with conscious choice. Episode Highlights : Healthy boundaries are not walls or emotional prisons How self-knowledge determines the quality of your boundaries Recognizing self-destructive boundaries How your body “keeps the score” Baby Steps for Healthy Boundaries Episode Timestamps: 00:00 - 05:00: What are Healthy Boundaries? 05:00 - 11:00 How do you know your boundaries are healthy? 11:00 - 19:30: Love-Hate Relationships 19:30 - 35:00: Know Body to know your Boundaries 35:00 - 42:30: How to address pent up feelings 42:30 - 46:00: Self-love in the purest form Guest Profile: Ananta Ripa Ajmera is a spiritual teacher and 10-time award-winning, 2-time bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way.
