    Ep59. So Hum: Becoming Still, Becoming Kinder — A Meditation for Conscious Living

    Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast. In this grounding and transformative meditation episode, Sadhviji begins by reflecting on the deeper purpose of meditation — not as an escape from the world, but as a social responsibility. She shares how meditation shapes us into kinder, less reactive human beings, helping us pause between thought and action, soften emotional reactivity, and live with greater awareness and compassion. From this understanding, Sadhviji gently guides us into a So Hum meditation, using the natural rhythm of the breath as a doorway into presence. As the mantra flows with each inhale and exhale, the mind settles, the nervous system calms, and we rest more deeply in the awareness of who we truly are. This practice invites us to move beyond being driven by emotion, anger, or the urge to numb ourselves through distraction or addiction. Instead, it cultivates clarity, steadiness, and conscious choice — within ourselves and in how we meet the world. Tune in to experience: Why meditation is not just personal healing, but collective medicineHow awareness creates a pause between impulse and actionThe calming, anchoring power of the So Hum mantraA practice to reduce reactivity and increase kindnessResting in the still, spacious presence beneath thoughts and emotionsJoin us for this meditation and allow So Hum — I am That — to guide you back to your true nature, where inner stillness naturally expresses itself as greater care, consciousness, and compassion in the world.

    Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this heartfelt episode, Sadhviji explores the role of our emotions—sadness, grief, guilt, anger—and whether they should be pushed away or embraced as teachers on our path.

    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).

    Ep54. Connection as Medicine: Yoga, Purpose, and Coming Home to Yourself

    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. Drawing on yogic wisdom, personal experience, and deep inner inquiry, she shares how disconnection lies at the root of much of our modern suffering, and how yoga offers a pathway back to wholeness. Sadhviji speaks about yoga not just as a physical practice, but as a living experience of connection — to ourselves, to others, and to something greater than us. 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.
