92. Don't Stay Lukewarm

In this week’s episode, Chandresh shares how resolutions are not the right way to manifest your vision. Resolutions limit your creativity, the playfulness of your conscious energy, and the power of your intuition. They also restrict how your soul wants to grow and expand in the future.

Instead, Chandresh recommends a solution that goes beyond the limitations that our society imposes through the cultural norm of setting a new year's resolution.

87. The Mystery of the Navel Center

In this episode, Chandresh shares how personality compromises of the ideas, narratives, labels, and stories we receive from society, family, religion, school, and so on. This notion of personality becomes so strong within us that we are not able to go beyond that personality. Ultimately, we start living as an idea of someone which is not ours. We tend to neglect our own blooming because we get so stuck in this idea of personality. In this episode, Chandresh shares how awareness does not have personality, but that is our reality. The point is to go beyond becoming and start being. Chandresh shares a few points like having the willingness to go beyond the personality, and to disobey consciously in order to transcend the personality. It is also important to plant the intention to live with courage and clarity. In addition, he shares two mantras for those wanting to integrate this in their meditation which are soham namana and aham brahmasmi.

86. Transcend Your Personality

In this episode, Chandresh shares how anger is not the real problem. The problem comes when we are not ready to understand the root of anger and heal the unconscious patterns that elevate it. As a society, we are not comfortable with anger, but taught to suppress the anger so it never really comes out in its pure form. Instead, it is blended with ego, control, and violence. This is one of the reasons anger creates multiple troubles in our mind and emotions. In this episode, Chandresh shares the tantra perspective on how to release and channel anger into creative conscious outlets. Anger has the potential to become ultimate compassion, but can only do so by understanding it, respecting it, and then using the power of meditation to flow through it. Chandresh also shares his own personal story with anger and an inspiring story from Buddha’s journey in how he led others in healing their anger and finding a home for their bliss through it.

85. From Anger to Compassion

In the age of social media, we have become so judgemental. We are constantly giving advice to people without really implementing or understanding the application and affect in our life. We are eager to share the information without really experiencing the science of the advice for us. Not only has this become a norm in social media, but across the wellness field. It has become normal for someone to give advice that they have no connection with. In this episode, Chandresh shares a personal experience with going through the experience of that life lesson and then sharing it with others. In addition, he shares a very profound story from the life of Mahatama Gandhi and how that changed his journey.  Useful links: Chandresh's YouTube Channel Find Your Source of Happiness - 21 Day Challenge Private Guidance Program with Chandresh Buy the book - Break the Norms  Instagram: @cbmeditates About Chandresh: Chandresh Bhardwaj is a seventh generation tantra teacher, spiritual advisor, and speaker.

Chandresh shares his experience, how he handles social media usage, and his experience with other people.
