    Walking Monks Inspired Millions – Hear from a Traveling Monk Living the Sadhu Life Today

    Send a text In this heart opening episode of The Inspired Yogi Podcast, the Yogi sits down with Brian Lottman, a self-proclaimed traveling monk (or "American Sadhu") who has wandered the U.S., Canada, and Mexico for over 14 years, sharing kirtan, satsangs, and spiritual teachings. Once a successful financial planner and atheist, Brian's life transformed after a profound encounter with his guru, Sri Sri Sri Swami Purna Maharaj, in 2008. In 2012, he renounced everything—sold his business, gave away possessions, and hit the road in a van to live as a modern wandering bard, leading heart-opening devotional chanting rooted in Bhakti yoga. Brian shares his journey from early hardships—loneliness, sparse gatherings, sleeping in parks, and street chanting amid music festivals with just two attendees—to a life sustained by grace, growing community support, and deepening mystical connection. He discusses the universal power of kirtan (chanting mantras for joy and bliss accessible across faiths), bridges between traditions like "Christian Kirtan" with Aramaic mantras, forgiveness as a key to spiritual opening, and the three yogic paths of devotion, contemplation, and service.The episode features a simple, powerful guided heart practice using breath, mudra, and the mantra "Om Pran Pran" to awaken love and life force in the heart center—perfect for listeners to try along. Radiating authentic love and encouragement, this conversation reminds us that true happiness arises from surrender, devotion, and connection to something greater.  Connect with Brian:  https://www.Patreon.com/brianlottman https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@brianlottman⁩  https://www.stirtheheart.com/  https://www.facebook.com/brian.lottman Connect with The Inspired Yogi Website Instagram FaceBook YouTube Email: JimtheYogi@gmail.com Intro/Outro music compliments of Machine Poetry  @Themachinepoetry  Support the show

    I Hear Spirits: Messages From The Afterlife

    Send a text Ever wondered if your loved ones are truly still with you—watching you binge TV programs, joining you at concerts, or even providing clues of validation from bagel scoopers? In this spirit whispering episode of the Inspired Yogi Podcast, host The Inspired Yogi sits down with Barbara Banner, a psychic evidential trance medium whose pandemic awakening turned her into a bridge between worlds. Five years in, Barbara shares how spirits don't just whisper—they drop hilarious validations, profound healings, and cosmic reminders that death is just a plot twist in our soul's epic play.From trance-channeling grandpas who "canoodle" during soap operas to a skeptical client's breakthrough via a scooped-out bagel (spoiler: it leads to a family invention reveal!), Barbara unpacks the raw, rewarding chaos of mediumship.  Expect goosebumps with tales of pets nudging from the other side, remote viewing CIA secrets, and her own "memory" as a Pleiadian spaceship captain. She demystifies telepathy (it's not voices—it's vibes!), why spirits skip the game-show quizzes for love bombs, and how belief turns doubt into drought-free connection. We dive deep into soul evolution across realms (9 levels, anyone?), manifesting Ferraris in Heaven, and Source as the ultimate joy DJ. Plus, tips for trusting your intuition, protecting your energy, and why no spirit dares wake Barbara at 3 AM without a "Whopper" story. Whether you're grieving, curious about ETs, or just need a laugh from the ethers, this episode is your portal to hope. Tune in for unfiltered authenticity—Barbara's humor shines as bright as her gifts. #Mediumship #Afterlife #PsychicReading #SpiritCommunication #InspiredYogi #SoulEvolution #GriefHealing #ETsAndSpirituality Connect with Barbra:  https://bannermedium.com https://www.instagram.com/bannermedium13  https://www.facebook.com/barbra.banner  https://www.tiktok.com/@barbrabanner13  Connect with The Inspired Yogi Website Instagram FaceBook YouTube Email: JimtheYogi@gmail.com Intro/Outro music compliments of Machine Poetry  @Themachinepoetry  Support the show

    Light-Touch Myofascial Release: 32 Years of Insights on Chronic Pain, Posture, and Trauma

    Send a text Discover the transformative power of light-touch myofascial release in this eye-opening conversation with Peter Stewart, a massage therapist with over 32 years of experience specializing in gentle myofascial release for chronic pain. Peter shares how this oil-free, intuitive approach—holding sustained gentle pressure to allow the body's fascia to release—differs from traditional massage, and why it often provides deeper, longer-lasting relief. Learn about the science behind it (including piezoelectric effects and recent discoveries on Piezo2 receptors), how fascia connects everything from muscles to nerves and organs, and the role of the nervous system, posture, old injuries, and even emotional trauma in creating chronic tension patterns. We dive into real-world examples: desk-job posture woes, pelvic imbalances leading to scoliosis-like issues, TMJ from fascial pull, self-care techniques (like prolonged yoga holds, gua sha for hands/plantar fascia), and why the brain "remembers" harmful patterns until gently retrained. Peter also opens up about the mind-body connection—how mental/emotional trauma imprints in the tissues (inspired by Dr. Peter Levine's work), the importance of breathwork, and why addressing the whole person (not just symptoms) is key to true healing. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, tightness, plantar fasciitis, or just want to understand your body's "stuck" patterns, this episode offers practical insights and hope. Key topics: What is myofascial release and how does gentle/light-touch differ from aggressive methods?Fascia's role in chronic pain, posture, and whole-body connectivityNervous system influence, brain entrainment, and piezoelectric scienceSelf-myofascial release tips, yoga overlaps, and tools like gua shaEmotional trauma's impact on physical tension and healingSubscribe to The Inspired Yogi for more conversations on holistic health, yoga, and bodywork.

    God Without the Baggage: Enlightenment Through Constant Presence

    Send a text In this heartfelt solo episode of The Inspired Yogi, host Jim (the Yogi) shares his passion for discussing the divine—affectionately nicknamed "Jody" to sidestep traditional hang-ups. After a three-month hiatus for family matters and personal growth, he's back with a relaxed approach to podcasting, prioritizing joy over schedules. Dive into his unique perspective on God as an omnipresent force: not a judgmental sky-dweller, but an all-encompassing energy of unconditional love, filling every space, atom, and moment—like water to a goldfish. Drawing from yogic texts like the Bhagavad Gita, biblical insights, and even a tale of a God-hating king who found enlightenment through obsession, he challenges listeners to make the divine a daily fixation, regardless of the name. Whether you call it God, the Universe, or something else, join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments. Short, solo, and inspiring—may Jody be with you!  Connect with The Inspired Yogi Website Instagram FaceBook YouTube Email: JimtheYogi@gmail.com Intro/Outro music compliments of Machine Poetry  @Themachinepoetry  Support the show

    Mystical Rock & Raw Truth: Machine Poetry on Music, Scorpio Energy, and AI Rebellion

    Send a text In this electric, soul-stirring episode, Yogi sits down with three-fourths of Florida’s most exciting new alt-rock force — Machine Poetry (Steph – lead vocals/rhythm guitar, Eddie – lead guitar, Kim – drums/second vocals). Fresh-faced, fearless, and barely over a year old as a band, these young artists are already turning heads with their hypnotic blend of heavy riffs, Doors-style mysticism, poetic lyricism, and Eastern-tinged atmospheres.We dive deep into:How a high-school acoustic duo collided with hardcore and metal influences to birth the “machine” + “poetry” paradox The Scorpio intensity behind Steph’s veil-of-mystery songwriting and Jim Morrison obsession Why Nirvana, Kurt Cobain’s vulnerability, and rediscovering music during lockdown lit an unquenchable fire in all three members The spiritual side of art: transcendental vibes, the Bhagavad Gita, chakras, wish-granting jewels (“Cintamani”), and music as modern-day kirtan Their fierce stand against AI-generated music and the belief that only human suffering, joy, and madness can create real soul Upcoming album plans, touring dreams (“book us under a bridge!”), and the wild clown-persona post burlesque shows they play . Plus — the band closes the episode with three breathtaking, one-take acoustic performances of their originals that left the room speechless (and will leave you hitting repeat). If you crave new music that feels like a ritual — dark, hopeful, heavy, poetic, and profoundly alive — this episode is your new favorite discovery. Perfect for yogis seeking higher vibration through sound, and for anyone hunting the next underground band that actually matters.Stream “Noise…” and “Machine Poetry” everywhere now.  Full debut album coming 2026.
