    130: The Path to Self-Actualization: Anchoring in Your Body and Vision

    In this episode, I explore the journey of elevating your energy and frequency by becoming fully anchored in your body and mind. I dive into the process of surrender and examine how often we unknowingly add distractions to our lives to avoid confronting our true potential. This subconscious self-sabotage, often fueled by fear of becoming our most successful and self-actualized selves, can keep us stuck in patterns of over-complication and resistance. I also get into the deeper emotional work necessary to clear the mental and emotional clutter that blocks our path to growth. By releasing these old wounds and creating space within ourselves, we open up to receive what is meant for us. Join me for this guide to unlocking your potential, tapping into your power, and embracing the flow that leads to your highest self. I dive into: How to let go of resistance and allow natural flow The importance of setting boundaries with your ego while holding yourself with compassion Strategies to release patterns of self-sabotage, and invite the ease of evolution and growth Understanding how fear of success and self-actualization can trigger avoidance behaviors Practical steps to cultivate fierceness in your vision without falling into over-complication And more   Get my FREE resource, Microdosing 101: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide: https://pohongyu.ac-page.com/microdosing101 Learn about my Coming Home to You Membership: https://www.taoofpo.com/coming-home-to-you The Soul Renewal Retreat, an intimate, fun & nourishing retreat, where nature and healing meet cozy chic luxury (April 2025): https://www.taoofpo.com/soul-renewal-retreat   Connect with me and let’s go deeper: Website: https://www.pohongyu.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/pohong.yu/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/pohong.yu/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pohongyu/

    128: Prioritizing Your Needs and Desires

    Many of us struggle with identifying our vision and uncovering what we genuinely want, often operating on autopilot in our lives. Today I’m exploring how to break free from that cycle to become more intentional. In this episode, I dive deep into the essential yet often overlooked practice of prioritizing yourself—your needs, desires, and big-picture vision. I explore the difference between foundational needs, rooted in your core (root chakra), and the desires of your heart and creative spirit (sacral and heart chakras) and how by understanding these layers, we can learn to create a holistic vision for our lives and identify the individual desires that make up that bigger picture. Join me for this foundational work to put yourself first—because everything else in your life follows when you thrive. I dive into: Practical steps to uncover your desires and create space for you to have them Root chakra needs vs. sacral & heart chakra desires Using your body’s intuition to set boundaries and discern a "yes" or "no" The importance of being resourced as you prioritize your own needs And more   Learn more about Coming Home to You: https://www.taoofpo.com/coming-home-to-you Open House registration link: https://bigredalchemy.as.me/openhouse The Soul Renewal Retreat: https://www.taoofpo.com/soul-renewal-retreat   Connect with me and let’s go deeper: Website: https://www.pohongyu.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/pohong.yu/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/pohong.yu/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pohongyu/

    127: From Jesuit Priest to Taoist Teacher: A Conversation with My Ba

    In this special episode, I invite my Ba to share his remarkable journey from his experience as a Jesuit priest to leaving the religion to become a Taoist teacher. Born in 1931, Ba’s early life was shaped by his mother's devout Catholicism and his admiration for Jesuit priests, leading him to leave China to join the Jesuits in the Philippines. He shares how after moving to the U.S. to study anthropology, he became disillusioned with the Western-centric approach of the Catholic Church, prompting him to leave the priesthood. We explore his post-priesthood journey, which took him through various jobs, including running a laundromat where he engaged in deep spiritual conversations, and his profound discovery of Taoism during the New Age movement of the 1980s. Ba shares how his interest in Taoism allowed him to find continuity with his previous spiritual life and how the core principles of Yin and Yang, divine energy, and interconnectedness have become central to his practice. You don’t want to miss his unique perspective on spiritual evolution and his practical advice for integrating Taoism into daily life, join us for this one.  We dive into: Ba shares his early life and the strong influence of his mother’s Catholic faith, leading him to join the Jesuits at 18 His decision to leave the priesthood after moving to the U.S. and his adjustment to secular life His post-priesthood jobs, including working as a mechanic, teacher, and salesperson, and the spiritual conversations he had at the laundromat Discovering Taoism during the New Age movement of the 1980s and how it resonated with his previous spiritual life Ba’s insights into Taoism’s core principles and his advice on integrating these teachings into everyday life And more   Connect with me and let’s go deeper: Website: https://www.pohongyu.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/pohong.yu/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/pohong.yu/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pohongyu/

    124: Illusions vs. Reality: Ending Self-Inflicted Suffering

    We often create stories in our minds - whether it's future tripping, imagining what others think about us, or catastrophizing everyday experiences. These illusions can lead to unnecessary suffering, especially when they take a negative form.  In this episode, I explore the profound difference between living in reality and getting trapped in illusions. I explore the addictive nature of these illusions and the challenge of shifting from a fantasy world to reality, a true awakening process that requires conscious effort and self-awareness. I give you helpful strategies for embracing the truth of your experiences, practicing awareness of your thoughts, and letting go of negative habits that perpetuate your suffering. Are you tired of participating in your own suffering by creating stories in your head that aren't true? Are you ready to replace these harmful patterns with something more supportive? Join me to learn more about the benefits of living in reality, the power of surrender, faith, and trust, and how to use your imagination positively rather than getting caught up in worrying fantasies.
