In yogic philosophy the term Sat-chit-ananda—roughly translated as "being, truth/knowing, bliss." Or quite simply, the joy in knowing our true being. I’ve been mostly interested in the “chit” part because it translates to the “mind—heart,” where the mind rests in the heart as a servant and companion to the heart’s knowing or gnosis. The integration of the mind-heart provides the energetic ground, for our authentic nature begins to truly flourish. This is the “joy of being” that is our birthright.

In this week's episode, I invite listeners to consider stepping into a deeper response—to drop deeper into life—to explore those open and closed parts of themselves, the triggers pinching off the life force in certain areas of ourselves, or in areas in our lives where we hold ourselves back, and why they are there.

I also share about how trigger responses, or gestures, can actually serve as a type of a “numbing balm” of the personality—taking the form of a strategy to control, change, or withdraw…only touching the surface with a quick fix, but don’t allow us to actually go deeper into what remains unfelt under it, at the origin where unconscious energies and emotions maintain it.
