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.

82. Letting Go of Control

This episode is all about understanding social media from a mindfulness perspective. The way we use social media has a lot of impact on our mental and spiritual health. Chandresh shares his experience, how he handles social media usage, and his experience with other people. A few of the problems shared include the reaction and validation of others becomes an important thing to us, in which we start doing things to get validation from others. Many times it decreases our ability to connect with people past the digital screen, and creates an easy delete/block to people with different opinions rather than being able to connect with them. Chandresh shares solutions to these dilemmas such as beginning to make conscious decisions around social media usage, creating a conscious plan on how you will use social media, and asking yourself who you follow and why. He also shares the importance of being open to new perspectives, ideas, and ways of thinking rather than building a bubble in your social media universe.

79. Why Relationships Fail? - A Tantra Perspective

This week’s episode is all about understanding how sometimes in life we over give, and that over giving is never healthy. Sometimes we do it out of compassion. Other times we do it out of our own conditioning, childhood or adult experiences, for our job, money, and more. However, overgiving never turns out to be a healing experience for anything. In the spiritual traditions, we replace over giving with conscious giving. Conscious giving then leads to conscious receiving. In this episode, Chandresh shares his personal journey with over giving and the lessons he has come to understand, and continues to practice and implement.   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.

77. Understanding Intuition

In tantra, the most powerful teaching is the transformation of energy. Tantra does not teach us to suppress, but instead is very inclusive and inviting toward whatever kind of energy you are going through. Tantra encourages the transformation of the energy whether it be sexual, anger, greed, attachment, etc. It especially welcomes energies we consider dark or unwanted because these are the emotions that create suppression, anxiety, and other psychological problems in our being. Tantra teaches us to understand the root of these elements and eventually transform these energies into higher creative outlets. In this episode, Chandresh explains the main aspect of energy transformation along with solutions to it.   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.

76. Energy Transformation in Tantra

This week’s episode is a guided meditation related to going beyond fear. We hold onto fear in the subconscious layers of our mind. The mind itself goes back and forth into all of the suppression and karmic contracts. Many times we are not aware because the fear is so deeply rooted in our brain. With the help of meditation, we can give a conscious outlet to fear. In this guided meditation, we use two powerful mantras including Vum Hroom (h is silent) and SA KA LA HAREEM. We hope this meditation helps you  to cultivate conscious outlets of fear so it may be released.

74. Gratitude - A Personal Note

In this episode, Chandresh speaks about how the seeds of fear are planted in childhood. Many times, they are planted when we are conceived in our mother’s wound, transferring the fear of our parents to us. Our own past life patterns may also show up. The bottom line is, all of the fear is a symptom of a deeper rooted problem. We are taught to run away from or operate from fear, which does not solve the problem. If we unconsciously move into fear, it builds blind obedience and unconscious rebellion. Both of these elements do not solve the problem. Chandresh shares specific solutions on how to understand fear, go beyond it, and how meditation can be a part of the solution. In next week's episode, we will share a meditation to help us go beyond fear.

73. Going Beyond Fear

In this episode, Chandresh talks about our relationship with ancestors. In the western culture, there is no specific ritual to honor the ancestors and include them in our day to day life. However, in many traditions of the world, there are specific ways to honor ancestors. In this episode, Chandresh discusses tantra and eastern wisdom traditions, sharing his own experience with ancestors and how honoring them starts to unblock conditioning and heal suppression. Even if we believe we are an original piece of art, we all have pieces of recycled material from our ancestors within us. Honoring our ancestors can help us expand our strength and potential. Chandresh shares many tantra practices and rituals including Kul Deva, deity of the lineage, and Kul Dosha, fault or blocked energy in the lineage. We hope this episode brings insight, specific solutions, and ritual practices for not only healing the connection with ancestors, but also bringing more strength, clarity, and courage in how your life is evolving and unfolding.    Bhagwad Geeta Mantra: na jāyate mriyate vā kadāchin nāyaṁ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ ajo nityaḥ śhāśhvato ’yaṁ purāṇo na hanyate hanyamāne śharīre   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.
