  1. Totems & Ancient Spirits — Pathways to Inner Peace

    Totems & Ancient Spirits — Pathways to Inner Peace

    What if the anxiety you feel isn’t just stress—but a forgotten ancestral whisper? What if the animals, places, and dreams that call to you are not random, but signals guiding your journey toward inner peace? In this deeply grounding episode, host Anshu Bahanda is joined by South African sanoma and Indigenous Knowledge Consultant Gogo Khanyakude (Tiisetso Ntuthuko Makhubedu) to explore how reconnecting with animal totems, ancestral guides, and Earth wisdom can lead to profound peace and belonging. Gogo brings us into their personal story: from the gospel music of early childhood to visions once mistaken for mental illness; from a spiritual “dark night” in Cape Town to initiation in ancestral healing. They share how ancestral identity, animal spirit guides like lions and goats, and even a long-unsprouting Marula tree were all signposts on the path home to their soul. Together, Anshu and Gogo explore: ● Totems vs. Spirit Animals — ancestral lineage markers vs. divine archetypes walking with you ● Signs from the invisible—when ancestors speak through birds, landforms, and instinct ● How animal guides can catalyze healing, transformation, and purpose ● The framework of People, Spirit, Space as a pathway back to inner peace ● Why reconnecting with indigenous traditions is a healing act of decolonization “Inner peace isn’t a thought—it’s a reconnection.” This episode invites you to answer the call you may have been feeling—toward an animal, a memory, a direction—toward belonging.

    Are You Missing These Vital Nutrients? Unlocking the Secret to True Wellness

    You might think burnout, anxiety, or insomnia stem from stress, emotion, or mindset—but what if the real cause lives in your cells? What if what you’re feeling isn’t emotional at all… but biochemical? In this illuminating episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda is joined by Dr. Marian Alonzo, Medical Director at The Farm, a world-renowned wellness resort in the Philippines. Together, they explore mineral therapy, an ancient-meets-modern approach that addresses physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances at their root. Dr. Alonzo, trained in behavioral biochemistry, shares how unrecognized deficiencies in minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron might be fueling your panic attacks, restlessness, or brain fog—and how healing might be as simple as listening to your body and feeding it the right fuel. They discuss why most wellness efforts fail without foundational nourishment, how mineral testing is often overlooked in Western medicine, and why even the best supplements sometimes don’t work. Have you ever felt “off” but couldn’t explain why? Or tried every mindset tool but still felt exhausted? Or wondered why your body doesn’t respond to vitamins? Watch now to discover how peace might not be a state of mind—but a state of minerals.

    What if love isn’t what you think it is?

    You might think of love as a fleeting feeling, reserved for family, friends, or romance, but what if love was just the starting point? What if true transformation came not from emotion, but from practice? In this heartwarming episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda is joined by Venerable Bhante Sujatha, a Buddhist monk and the founder of the Blue Lotus Temple in the U.S., to explore loving kindness not as a mood or virtue, but as a daily discipline that reshapes how we relate to others, to pain, and to ourselves. Together, they unpack what it means to turn love into a lifestyle, and how practicing loving kindness can rewire your reactions, shift your inner dialogue, and soften even your toughest relationships, including the one you have with yourself. Through real-life stories, gentle wisdom, and unexpected truths (like why competition and kindness cannot co-exist), Bhante shows us how love becomes stronger, deeper, and freer when it is trained like a muscle. Have you ever struggled to forgive someone? Or found it easier to be kind to others than to yourself? Or wondered if kindness makes you weak? 🎧 Watch now to learn why loving kindness is not a luxury, but a necessity for emotional resilience, self-worth, and lasting peace.

    What if sound could heal your deepest wounds?

    You might hum when you’re nervous, chant when you’re seeking calm, or lose yourself in a piece of music — but what if sound could do more than soothe? What if it could physically shift your brainwaves, calm your nervous system, and even help you heal? In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Eileen Day McKusick, a pioneering voice in sound therapy and creator of Biofield Tuning, and Dr. Puja Myles, public health specialist and Monroe Institute trainer, about how intentional sound can become a tool for self-regulation, emotional clarity, and grounded presence. Together, they explore how sound interacts with our body’s electromagnetic field, how frequencies can be mapped to different states of consciousness, and how simple practices like humming or vocal toning can release tension, reduce anxiety, and bring the body back into harmony. You’ll hear why ancient practices like chanting and modern tools like binaural beats aren’t just spiritual fluff — they’re rooted in neuroscience and backed by research. If you’ve ever felt the urge to hum, sing, or just sit in silence — this conversation explains why. 🎧 Watch now to understand how sound, when used with purpose, becomes more than noise — it becomes healing.

    Afraid To Be Alone With Your Thoughts? Here’s What The Experts Say

    You crave quiet, but even when the world goes silent, your thoughts keep racing. You stay busy, scroll endlessly, or distract yourself — anything to avoid being truly alone. But what if solitude wasn’t something to fear… but a powerful way to calm your nervous system and build emotional resilience? In this episode of Cultivating Inner Peace, host Anshu Bahanda speaks with Robert Kull, who spent a full year in intentional solitude on a remote island, and Maggie Hamilton, social researcher and author, about the benefits of solitude — and how it differs from loneliness. Together, they explore how solitude and mental health are deeply connected, how stillness and mindfulness can ease anxiety, and how small, accessible habits — like screen-free time or quiet walks in nature — can help you reconnect with yourself. You’ll hear why being alone doesn’t have to feel lonely, and how solitude can become a simple mental health practice that leads to real clarity. If the idea of being still feels hard, maybe that’s exactly where the healing starts. 🎧 Watch now to discover how solitude can help you regulate your emotions, shift your mindset, and find peace — even in the noise of daily life.
