Do you go quiet and agreeable to keep the peace, only to think of the perfect response hours later? Have you ever felt a lump in your throat, like you're swallowing words instead of speaking them?

In this episode, Ananta Ripa Ajmera—10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way—opens our Throat Chakra series with the Reflection stage of the Divine Feminine Hero's Journey. Inspired by the wisdom of Skandamata, the Divine Mother who teaches us how to hold fire with compassion, you'll discover why finding your authentic voice begins not with speaking—but with learning to truly listen.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Throat Chakra Healing — Discover why Vishuddha governs both sound and silence, and how learning to listen transforms the way you speak.

• 5 Signs You're Silencing Your Own Truth — including delayed reactions, a tight throat, unfinished conversations, and over-explaining yourself.

• Why Certain People Trigger You — how recurring irritation can become an invitation to discover what still needs healing within yourself.

• The Body as Messenger — Ananta shares how years of recurring skin breakouts led her to discover that her body was expressing what her voice wasn't, and how deep emotional clearing transformed the way she understood healing.

• Emotional Hygiene — A powerful new way to think about emotional healing as a daily practice, just like brushing your teeth.

• A Simple Vishuddha Practice — A one-breath ritual to help you pause, listen, and speak your truth with wisdom instead of fear.

Perfect for empaths, highly sensitive people, recovering people-pleasers, and spiritual seekers who are ready to stop confusing silence with peace—and start speaking their truth with wisdom, compassion, and courage.

Do you struggle to let go of old heartbreak? Have you noticed your heart becoming just a little more guarded with every passing year?

You don't have to carry it forever.

If your heart has become more protected after disappointment, you're not alone. Often, that's simply the heart's way of trying to keep us safe. But what once protected us can also quietly prevent us from fully receiving love again.

In this final episode of our three-part Heart Chakra journey, Ananta Ripa Ajmera—10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way—guides you through a gentle guided visualization inspired by Kushmanda, the Vedic goddess of the Heart Chakra.

Together, you'll gently release old heartbreak, soften what's kept your heart guarded, and remember what it feels like to love yourself—and love again—with an open heart.

This isn't just another podcast episode.

It's a practice you can return to whenever your heart feels heavy, whenever an old memory resurfaces, or whenever you're ready to gently open your heart again.

In this episode, you'll experience:

• Release Old Heartbreak — A compassionate visualization to help you gently let go of emotional pain, old attachments, and the heartbreak your heart has been quietly carrying.
• Heart Chakra Healing — Open and nourish Anahata, the Heart Chakra, creating space for greater love, compassion, forgiveness, and emotional freedom.
• The Wisdom of the Air Element — Discover why the element of air teaches us to hold love with an open hand instead of a clenched fist.
• Kushmanda's Golden Light — Experience a visualization inspired by the smiling goddess from The Way of the Goddess, reminding you that true love begins within.
• A Return to Self-Love — Anchor yourself in the affirmation, "I love myself unconditionally," remembering that your worth has never depended on another person's ability to love you.
• A Practice to Return To — Save this visualization and revisit it whenever grief resurfaces, your heart feels guarded, or you simply need to remember how to love yourself first.

Whether you're healing from a romantic relationship, the loss of a friendship, family pain, grief, or simply the gradual guardedness that comes from years of putting everyone else before yourself, this visualization offers a gentle way to soften—without forcing yourself to "just move on."

Have you become so good at caring for everyone else that you've forgotten how to care for yourself?

If you're an empath, caregiver, healer, or someone who naturally puts others first, this episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and begin filling your own heart again.

In this second episode of our Heart Chakra series, award-winning author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way, Ananta Ripa Ajmera shares three simple yet profound Ayurvedic rituals that gently retrain your heart to receive the same love you've spent years giving away.

Because self-love isn't a reward you earn once you've healed.

It's a daily practice that makes healing possible.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why awareness alone isn't enough—and what actually begins healing an exhausted heart.
• Three simple Ayurvedic rituals you can begin today to replenish your emotional, physical, and spiritual energy.
• Why nourishing yourself doesn't take love away from anyone else—it allows you to love more freely.
• The beautiful Sanskrit teaching that reveals love is something we don't just feel—we can practice.
• How these rituals prepare you for this week's Heart Chakra Release, where we'll gently let go of the emotions your heart has been carrying.

If you've been pouring from an empty heart for far too long, this episode will help you begin filling it again—one loving practice at a time.

Do you swallow your anger to keep the peace, only to feel it curdle into resentment later? Do you know exactly what your heart needs — but stay quiet because saying it out loud feels selfish, scary, or unsafe?

In this guided visualization, we complete our three-part Solar Plexus series with Release: the deepest layer of third chakra healing, where anger, resentment, and old boundary wounds are gently witnessed and transformed — not suppressed, not exploded, but turned into clarity and quiet strength.

This isn't a typical episode — it's a guided visualization you can return to anytime anger feels stuck, resentment begins to build, or you feel disconnected from your own needs.

In this episode, you'll experience:

• A guided visualization to Manipura, your solar plexus — "the city of jewels" — to reconnect with the fire at your center
• Ayurvedic wisdom on Agni, the sacred digestive fire, and how it transforms not just food but unprocessed anger, grief, and shame into courage and clarity
• A gentle practice for locating a boundary your body already knows is true — without needing to act on it right now
• A ritual reframe of meal preparation as a sacred offering, restoring your relationship with your body as a temple rather than a machine to manage
• Imagery and affirmations to help you hold your inner fire as contained, purposeful power — instead of something to swallow or something that erupts

Have you ever eaten an entire meal and barely remembered tasting it?

What if your kitchen could become a place of healing, and your table a place of prayer?

In this second episode of our Solar Plexus series, Ananta Ripa Ajmera—10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way—shares three simple Ayurvedic rituals that transform eating from something you rush through into a spiritual practice that tends your inner fire, or Agni.

Because in Ayurveda, your digestive fire doesn't just break down food. It transforms everything you take in—conversations, emotions, stress, joy, loss—into wisdom instead of unfinished weight the body has to carry.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why Agni (your digestive fire) is one of the most important concepts in all of Ayurveda—and why it matters most for empaths and highly sensitive people who absorb so much
• How to choose warming foods and healing spices (black pepper, cumin, fennel, coriander) that support digestion without rigid food rules
• Brahmarpanam, the ancient Bhagavad Gita food mantra Ananta uses before her own meals, and simple ways to bring reverence to eating without memorizing Sanskrit
• A three-part practice for slowing down to actually receive nourishment—mindful chewing, eating in silence, and resting in Vajrasana after meals
• Why healing your relationship with food isn't about perfection, but devotion repeated in small, sacred acts

Free resource: Download your free Digestive Healing Guide at theancientway.kit.com/digestive-healing for Ayurvedic wisdom and simple recipes to support your Agni.

Have you ever smiled while quietly thinking, I don't want this? Said yes when your whole body was screaming no? Found yourself taking care of everyone else's emotions until you weren't sure what you were even feeling anymore? If you've ever searched "how to control anger issues," looked up healthy boundaries in relationships, or told yourself "I'm just not an angry person" — this episode is for you.

In this Solar Plexus Reflection, Ananta Ripa Ajmera — bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way — reveals why what you've been calling anger may actually be unprocessed power: grief that was never given space, the exhaustion of saying yes when you meant no, years of putting everyone else first until a part of you finally says enough. She shares the 5 signs your inner fire may be asking for your attention, and why anger isn't the opposite of love, but the guardian of it.

You'll learn the meaning of Manipura, the solar plexus chakra — "the city of jewels" — and meet Chandraghanta, the third of the nine warrior mother goddess forms, whose wedding-day transformation reveals what real, quiet power actually looks like. Ananta unpacks the Ayurvedic concept of agni, the digestive fire — the same fire that transforms food into nourishment and transforms experience into wisdom — and why your relationship with anger, boundaries, food, and digestion may be far more connected than you've ever realized.

If you're an empath, a highly sensitive person, or someone who has always believed that being spiritual means never getting angry, this episode offers a gentle, honest path back to your own inner fire — not to become smaller, not to become louder, but to learn how to tend it.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why what you've been calling "anger" may actually be unprocessed power — grief, exhaustion, or years of self-abandonment finally asking to be seen
• The 5 signs your inner fire may be asking for your attention
• Why anger isn't the opposite of love — it's the guardian of what you love
• The meaning of Manipura, the solar plexus chakra, and why it's called "the city of jewels"
• The story of Goddess Chandraghanta and what her wedding-day transformation teaches about real, quiet power
• What Ayurveda means by agni — and why the fire that digests your food is the same fire that digests your life
• The real difference between healthy boundaries and self-abandonment disguised as compassion
• Why so many people aren't actually struggling with anger — they're struggling with permission
• The hearth-fire practice for tending your fire instead of suppressing or exploding it

This is the third stop on our nine-week Divine Feminine Hero's Journey through the chakra system. Next, we move from Reflection into Ritual — Ayurvedic practices for strengthening your digestive fire and turning your everyday relationship with food into a sacred practice. And on Friday, we enter Release, with a guided visualization to free your fire from suppression or explosion so it can become the warmth, courage, and transformation it was always meant to be.

Do you leave certain conversations feeling completely drained—even when nothing "bad" happened?

Do you walk into a room feeling calm, only to leave carrying emotions that don't even feel like your own?

If you're an empath, highly sensitive person, or simply someone who has spent years taking care of everyone else, you may not have a boundary problem.

You may have a sacral chakra problem.

In this second episode of our Sacral Chakra series, Ananta Ripa Ajmera—10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and co-founder of The Ancient Way—shares the Ayurvedic understanding of why some people absorb everyone else's emotional energy, and three sacred practices she personally uses to strengthen discernment without closing her heart.

Because true protection isn't about becoming numb.

It's about becoming rooted enough in yourself that you can love deeply without losing yourself in someone else's experience.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why empaths often mistake emotional absorption for compassion
• The Ayurvedic teaching of the Five Sacred Doorways—and how your senses shape your energetic field

Do you walk into a room and instantly feel everyone else's energy — but struggle to name your own? Do you feel responsible for other people's emotions, happiness, or healing? If you've ever searched "empath meaning," looked up the codependency definition, or wondered why setting boundaries in relationships feels almost impossible for you — this episode is for you.

In this Sacral Chakra Reflection, Ananta Ripa Ajmera — 10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way — shares the deeply personal story of how her own second chakra imbalance showed up as a strained relationship with food, and reveals the 5 signs that you're absorbing everyone else's emotions instead of feeling your own.

You'll learn the meaning of Svadhisthana, the sacral chakra — "your own sacred dwelling place" — and meet Brahmacharini, the second of the nine warrior mother goddess forms, whose teaching on sacred discipline has nothing to do with restriction and everything to do with freedom. Ananta unpacks the real difference between compassion and absorption, why healthy boundaries in relationships are what make deeper intimacy possible (not what block it), and how Ayurveda views the five senses as sacred doorways that shape your nervous system regulation, your energy, and your emotional health.

If you're an empath, caregiver, healer, or simply a deeply feeling human being who has lost touch with where you end and everyone else begins, this episode offers a gentle, honest path back to your own emotional center.

In this episode you'll discover:

• The 5 signs you're absorbing other people's emotions instead of feeling your own
• The real difference between empathic sensitivity and emotional absorption
• What Svadhisthana (the sacral chakra) means and why it governs the boundary between self and other
• The story of Goddess Brahmacharini and the true, freeing meaning of spiritual discipline
• Why "I feel responsible for fixing everyone's pain" is not the same as compassion
• How Ayurveda views the five senses as sacred doorways — and what prajnaparadha (acting against your own wisdom) has to do with emotional overwhelm
• Why numbness, disconnection, or "not knowing what I want" can be signs of a second chakra imbalance, not a spiritual failure
• One simple grounding practice — "Is this mine?" — to help you tell your emotions apart from everyone else's
• How the water element teaches us to stay open without drowning

This is the second stop on our nine-week Divine Feminine Hero's Journey through the chakra system. Next week, we move from Reflection into Ritual — exploring the Ayurvedic practices that restore emotional flow and reconnect you with your senses as sacred doorways.

Do you ever feel like you're carrying fear, anxiety, or exhaustion that isn't entirely yours — patterns that feel older than your own life? In this guided grounding visualization, we complete our three-part Root Chakra series with Release: the deepest layer of root chakra healing, where trapped emotions, inherited trauma, and nervous system dysregulation are gently offered back to the earth.

This isn't a typical episode — it's a guided visualization you can return to anytime you feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or simply need to remember what it feels like to be grounded and held.

In this episode, you'll experience:

• A full-body grounding visualization designed to calm a dysregulated nervous system and ease anxiety symptoms
• Ayurvedic and Vedic teachings on how the earth element both nourishes and receives — supporting the release of fear, grief, and inherited emotional patterns
• Gentle guidance for releasing trapped emotions and generational trauma that were never yours to carry
• Root chakra healing imagery (rooted in the metaphor of a tree) to help you feel safe, supported, and truly at home in your body
• A practice you can return to anytime as a spiritual grounding tool for anxiety relief and emotional release

This is the final episode in our Root Chakra series:
🌱 Episode 043 — Reflection: 5 signs you may be living in survival mode

If anxiety relief, genuine nervous system regulation, and a truly settled sense of safety feel just out of reach — no matter how much you understand about why you feel this way — this episode is for you.

Most grounding exercises for anxiety address the mind. Ayurveda goes deeper — to the body itself, the nervous system, the daily rhythm — as the primary site where real stability is built and where the root chakra is either nourished or depleted, one day at a time.

In Part 2 of our Root Chakra exploration, Ananta Ripa Ajmera — 10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way — shares the specific Ayurvedic rituals she has returned to again and again across fifteen years of study and her own personal healing journey. Not as anxiety coping strategies to get through the day, but as devotional practices that, over time, teach the nervous system something it may have forgotten:

You are safe here. You are supported. You are held.

In this episode you will discover:

• Why feeling anxious for no reason is often the root chakra speaking — not a personality trait or a permanent condition
• How Ayurvedic rituals work differently from conventional grounding activities — and why the intention behind the practice matters as much as the practice itself
• Why consistent daily rhythm may be the most underestimated anxiety coping strategy available to us
• 3 grounding exercises for anxiety — powerful rituals you can easily incorporate into your daily routine
• What it feels like when the body finally learns — not just intellectually, but cellularly — that it is safe to be here

Feeling exhausted even when you sleep enough? Anxious for no clear reason? Like you never quite feel at home in your own life? These could be signs of a root chakra imbalance — and in this episode, we break down exactly what that means and how to start healing it.

This episode kicks off a brand-new nine-week chakra healing series exploring the seven chakras through the lens of the Divine Feminine Hero's Journey, based on Ananta Ripa Ajmera's bestselling book, 8x award-winning book, The Way of the Goddess. Each week follows a simple rhythm: Reflection, Ritual, and Release — so you get both the "why" and the practical tools to actually shift your energy.

In this first Reflection episode, you'll learn:

• What the root chakra (Muladhara) is and why it's considered the foundation of your entire energy system
• The Vedic goddess Shailaputri and what she teaches us about grounding and spiritual safety
• 5 signs of root chakra imbalance, including chronic fatigue, low-level anxiety, financial fear, and never feeling like you belong
• How Ayurveda's earth element (Prithvi) connects to feeling grounded, safe, and at home in your body
• Why root chakra blocks are often inherited trauma, not personal failure — and how Body Code and Emotion Code work (developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson) can help release them
• A simple 30-second grounding practice you can do today

Whether you're new to chakra healing, exploring Ayurvedic lifestyle practices, or looking for root chakra healing techniques that go beyond surface-level advice, this episode offers a grounded, tradition-rooted starting point.

What if the most intractable problems in healing — narcissism and codependency, the trauma bond, the cycle of giving too much and receiving too little — could be resolved not by changing the other person, but by clearing your own inner world?

What if the path to unconditional acceptance — of yourself, of others, of all that has happened — was not a spiritual achievement reserved for the most advanced practitioners, but the natural result of removing what has been blocking it all along?

This is Part 2 of a two-part series on the eternal victory of light over darkness. In Part 1, Ananta Ripa Ajmera explored the Bhagavad Gita's teaching that the greatest demon lives within — and that every outer darkness can only reach us through an inner resonance that can be permanently cleared. In this episode, she takes that teaching all the way to its most luminous conclusion.

Through the lens of Namaste — the ancient Sanskrit greeting that means "the divine in me bows to the divine in you" — Ananta explores what becomes possible when the inner clearing goes deep enough that we begin to see not through the distorted lens of our own unprocessed material, but through the clear eyes of the soul itself.

You'll discover:

• The full spiritual meaning of Namaste — and why most of us cannot truly mean it until we have done the inner work
• Why narcissism and codependency are two expressions of the same root wound — and why healing one requires understanding both
• How clearing trapped emotions, broadcast messages, and subconscious patterns through the Body Code and Emotion Code withdraws the inner resonance that the trauma bond and narcissistic cycle need in order to persist
• Why awakening spiritually without inner clearing leaves us projecting our unhealed self onto others — and what changes when the field clears
• The difference between spiritual bypassing and genuine unconditional acceptance — and how to know which one you are experiencing
• What remains when all the trapped emotions, inherited patterns, despair anchors, and subconscious programs have been released: a divine, unconditional acceptance of all that is — the purest love available to a human soul
• Why the eternal victory of light over darkness is not a future event — it is the present truth, revealed

For empaths, holistic healers, coaches, therapists, and anyone who has spent years trying to heal narcissistic abuse, the trauma bond, or codependency patterns without reaching the root — this episode offers the most complete resolution Ananta has experienced.

What if healing from narcissistic abuse wasn't about defeating another person—but about overcoming the unconscious wounds, fears, and shadows within yourself that keep you trapped in the cycle?

What if every obstacle on your healing journey—every experience of narcissistic abuse, every dark night of the soul, every moment that broke you open—was preparing you to become your own greatest ally?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Ananta Ripa Ajmera—10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way—shares one of the most transformative lessons of her healing journey: the real battle isn't with an outer enemy. It's with the inner demons that keep us disconnected from our true Self.

Inspired by one of the most profound teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, Ananta explores how lasting freedom comes not from changing others, but from transforming ourselves.

"You must lift yourself, by yourself. Do not lower yourself. Your self alone is your friend. Your self alone is your enemy."
— Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 5

Drawing on her journey of releasing more than 2,200 trapped emotions, energetic imbalances, and subconscious patterns through the Body Code, Emotion Code, and Belief Code—and on 15 years of ancient lineage wisdom in Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vedanta—Ananta shares the perspective that changed everything:

There can be no outer demon that is not somewhere resonating with a demon that lives within.

This isn't about blame. It's about reclaiming your power. When we heal the wounds, beliefs, and unconscious patterns that resonate with abuse, we withdraw the invitation that keeps painful cycles repeating. Through shadow work, deep energy clearing, and radical self-love, we stop fighting darkness outside ourselves and begin transforming it at its source.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How the Bhagavad Gita teaches us to become our own greatest friend instead of our own worst enemy
• Why healing from narcissistic abuse requires facing your inner demons—not just understanding the narcissist
• How shadow work helps dissolve the unconscious patterns that keep painful relationships repeating
• Why trauma release and energy healing can transform the energetic roots of abuse and codependency
• The deeper spiritual meaning of Diwali and the eternal victory of light over darkness
• Why true freedom begins the moment you stop fighting the outer battle and start healing the inner one

If you're recovering from narcissistic abuse, navigating a dark night of the soul, or seeking a deeper spiritual path to healing, this episode offers an empowering roadmap for transforming your greatest wounds into your greatest source of freedom.

Have you ever wondered why certain ways of working, deciding, and showing up feel completely natural — while others leave you exhausted, disconnected, and somehow less like yourself?

That is precisely the question Human Design was created to answer.

In this rich, wide-ranging conversation, Ananta Ripa Ajmera — 10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way — sits down with Shayna Cornelius and Dana Stiles, bestselling authors of Your Human Design and co-founders of DayLuna, whose Human Design podcast has over two million downloads worldwide.

Human Design is the science of differentiation — a synthesis of Western astrology, the Chinese I Ching, the chakra system, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, quantum physics, and biogenetics that reveals your unique energetic blueprint and the specific way your soul is designed to navigate life, relationships, and dharma.

You'll discover:

• What Human Design is — and why it's one of the most powerful tools for understanding your dharma and living in alignment with your soul's true purpose
• The five Human Design types — Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector — and what makes each one radically different in energy, aura, and life path
• Human Design authority — how sacral, splenic, and emotional authority each reveal a completely different way of making aligned decisions
• Open versus defined energy centers — and what your Human Design chart reveals about where you are most empathetic, where you absorb others' energy, and where your unique frequency transmits to the world
• The surprising intersection of Human Design and Ayurveda — including Human Design digestion types and how they mirror Ayurveda's understanding of individual constitution and gut health
• How to use Human Design in teams, families, and relationships — without letting it become a system of control rather than personal empowerment
• Shayna and Dana's own dark night of the soul — how leaving their careers, following the whispers of their soul, and discovering Human Design completely transformed their lives
• Why Human Design is not about becoming something new — but about unbecoming everything that was never authentically you

Whether you have had a Human Design reading before or are discovering it for the first time — and whether your path is rooted in Ayurveda, yoga, or any other wisdom tradition — this conversation will give you language for things you have always felt but never quite had words for.

Living your dharma is not about forcing yourself into a mold. It is about finally understanding the unique blueprint your soul arrived with — and having the courage to live from it.

Have you ever found yourself awakening spiritually — doing the healing work, pursuing holistic healing — and still sensing that something at the root of your patterns hasn't fully shifted?

This episode is about what that root is. And how to heal it — permanently, at the karmic level.

In this deeply personal solo episode, Ananta Ripa Ajmera — 10-time award-winning bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way, and founder of The Ancient Way — explores the 9th chakra, the energy center of integrity, dharma, and spiritual growth, through the lens of the mythological warrior Goddess Durga and the nine divine feminine archetypes of the ancient Vedic spiritual tradition.

Drawing on the framework of her bestselling book The Way of the Goddess — and on her own journey of healing nervous system dysregulation, abandonment of self, and the spiritual wounds left by a teacher who had not done their own work — Ananta shares the most profound discovery of her entire healing journey:

The karmic cycle does not heal when we find what we were denied. It heals when we become it.

This is the episode where spiritual growth becomes spiritual leadership. Where balancing chakras becomes leading by example. Where holistic healing becomes integrity restored — in the body, in the soul, and in the lives of those you are here to serve.

You'll discover:

• What the 9th chakra and Goddess Siddhidatri reveal about integrity as a frequency that heals
• How to lead by example as a healer, coach, or teacher — from your wisdom, not your wound

Did you know that the inner jihad of Islam and the warrior goddess Durga of the Vedic spiritual tradition are describing the exact same battle? In this episode, Ananta Ripa Ajmera sits down with Fatima Naseem — a coach, consultant, and graduate of the Become the Hero of Your Own Journey program (theancientway.co/hero) — for a conversation that bridges Islamic faith with universal spiritual wisdom, and explores what it truly means to be awakened spiritually across traditions.

Fatima shares her journey through the higher heart chakra and the power of rejuvenation that comes with it: rediscovering play and joy after years of productivity-driven living, choosing professional integrity over comfort even when it cost her her job, and the deep surrender required to trust divine timing in love. She opens up about meditation and gratitude as daily anchors, the Sufi practice of zikr and her personal mantra Al-Mujib, and how stepping into self-love and self-compassion became the doorway to a long-awaited relationship and a new calling toward coaching.

You'll learn:

• What the real jihad actually means in Islam — the inner struggle to overcome ego — and how it mirrors the Vedic hero's journey through the chakras
• How holding onto integrity at work, even at great personal cost, can become a doorway to freedom rather than a loss
• Why self-love and self-compassion aren't optional extras but the foundation everything else is built on
• How surrender and trust in divine timing show up in real life — including how a layoff opened the door to meeting a life partner
• How interfaith spirituality reveals the same universal truth underneath different rituals, language, and paths
• Simple daily practices — meditation, gratitude, presence — that keep you grounded in your own true essence no matter your faith tradition

Whether you're navigating a career transition, exploring what spiritual awakening looks like within your own faith, or simply curious how a Hindu-rooted teacher and a Muslim student found total resonance in their shared hero's journey, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that there are hundreds of roads to the same place within.

About Fatima

Fatima Naseem is a coach, consultant, and lifelong student of growth whose journey has been guided by one simple yet powerful intention: to live with authenticity and integrity in every dimension of life. Her path has not been easy, it has required courage, humility, and a willingness to face the truth of who she is and what she values. Yet, each challenge has deepened her connection to her purpose and to others walking their own paths of transformation.

Through her work and her way of being, Fatima encourages others to honor what is real, embrace change as a teacher, and align their inner and outer worlds. Her approach blends empathy, practical wisdom, and spiritual awareness, creating space for honest self-discovery and meaningful growth.

Did you know that in Ayurveda, growing younger as you get older isn't a metaphor — it's a science? In this episode, Ananta Ripa Ajmera shares what spiritual awakening actually feels like on the other side of deep healing work, and introduces Rasayana, the ancient Ayurvedic path of rejuvenation that has her more flexible, more energized, and more joyful with each passing year — not less.

This is a personal one. Ananta opens up about how forgiveness and self-love freed up the life force she'd spent years pouring into old stories — and what that life force turned into instead: running eleven miles at a time after quitting cross country as a teenager, taking taekwondo classes alongside eight-year-olds who have no idea she isn't one of them, and rediscovering Ayurveda oil self-massage as one of her most powerful rejuvenate skin care and rejuvenate health rituals.

You'll learn:

• What it really means to feel spiritually awakened on the other side of the dark night of the soul, not just during it
• What Rasayana actually means in Ayurveda, and why true rejuvenating wellness is about emotional release as much as it's about oil, herbs, or diet
• How reconnecting with your feminine energy and true essence restores energy that's been locked away in old patterns and stories
• Why beginner's mind, paired with the Vedic practice of detachment, is one of the most rejuvenating things you can cultivate at any age
• The spiritual significance of flowers in Ayurveda, and a few small ways to bring more goddess energy and joy into your daily self care checklist

Whether you're navigating your own spiritual awakening, curious about what Ayurveda means and how it actually works, or just need permission to try something new at any age, this episode is your reminder that renewal isn't a special occasion — it's available to you right now.

Have you ever felt like you keep recreating the same painful dynamic — the same trauma bond relationship, the same loss of self, the same cycle — no matter how much inner work you do?

This is the episode that finally explains why. And more importantly — how to stop.

In this deeply personal finale to a three-part series, Ananta Ripa Ajmera — 10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way — shares her own journey of healing intergenerational trauma, releasing the trauma bond, and discovering a pathway to genuine forgiveness that required no suffering, no retelling, and no reliving of the past.

Drawing on the groundbreaking trauma release methodology of Dr. Bradley Nelson — founder of Discover Healing and author of The Emotion Code, The Body Code, and The Heart Code — Ananta explores how childhood experiences and intergenerational trauma get stored in the body as trapped emotions, energetic imbalances, and subconscious patterns, and how these can be permanently cleared without traditional trauma narrative therapy or trauma release exercises.

Through her own journey of over 2,300 energetic releases, Ananta also shares the power tool of acknowledgement, and how it opened the door to unconditional forgiveness and the end of the trauma response cycle.

You'll discover:
- What intergenerational trauma actually is — and how it gets stored and inherited in the body
- Why the trauma bond keeps recreating itself — and what releases it at the root
- How trauma release without retelling is possible through the Body Code and Emotion Code
- The difference between trauma narrative therapy and energetic trauma release
- How forgiveness — how to reach it genuinely, not spiritually bypassing — becomes natural once the energetic charge is cleared
- How Ananta went from chronic trauma response to embodied liberation — and now expresses her full power through martial arts

Have you ever searched "narcissistic signs," worked through a mental abuse checklist, or looked up narcissistic characteristics — and felt the strange, disorienting relief of finally seeing it clearly?

This episode is for you.

In Part 2 of this deeply personal three-part series, Ananta Ripa Ajmera — 10-time award-winning bestselling author, Ayurveda teacher, and founder of The Ancient Way — shares what narcissistic gaslighting and mental abuse actually do to the body, and how the ancient Vedic goddess Kalaratri became her unexpected guide to truth and liberation.

Kalaratri is one of the most misunderstood goddesses in the Vedic spiritual tradition. She rides a donkey, carries weapons, and has wild unbound hair. She is fierce — and she is the most loving force imaginable. Because truth, like her image, is not easy to look at. But once we truly see it, we can truly become free.

Central to this episode is the groundbreaking work of Dr. Bradley Nelson — founder of Discover Healing and author of three transformational books: The Emotion Code, The Body Code, and The Belief Code. Dr. Nelson's work offers what Ananta describes as the most precise and permanent healing methodology she has encountered in over 15 years of studying ancient and modern healing traditions.

Through the Body Code and Emotion Code, trapped emotions, subconscious patterns, inherited imbalances, and energetic disturbances can be identified at the exact age they occurred, located in specific tissues and systems of the body, and permanently released — without reliving the past or talking about it at all.

Drawing on her own healing journey — clearing over 2,200 trapped emotions, energetic imbalances, and subconscious patterns — Ananta shares how narcissistic manipulator dynamics and mental abuse get stored in the body at specific ages, in specific tissues, with specific associated emotions and broadcast messages that run beneath conscious awareness, shaping every experience until they are permanently released.

In this episode you will discover:
- The narcissistic cycle and how it systematically dismantles self-trust
- What narcissistic victimization does to the nervous system and energetic field
- How Dr. Nelson's Body Code tracks trauma with extraordinary precision — age, location, associated emotions, inherited patterns
- How the Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code work together as an integrated healing system
- How Sovereign Within — The Ancient Way's signature program — weaves Dr. Nelson's three modalities together with Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta, and Vedic Astrology for a uniquely integrated healing experience
- Why narcissistic empathy is a myth — and what real empathic healing looks like
- How Ananta went from living in chronic fear to genuine, embodied liberation

If you identify as an empath, you likely already know that your intuition is one of your greatest gifts. But what happens when narcissistic abuse — or years of gaslighting and manipulation — quietly dismantles your ability to trust it?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Ananta Ripa Ajmera — 10-time award-winning bestselling author, founder of The Ancient Way, and host of True to Yourself — shares her own journey of recovering intuition after years of narcissistic abuse within a spiritual community.

Drawing on 15 years of ancient lineage wisdom in Ayurveda, Yoga, and Vedanta, Ananta explores what intuition actually is through a Vedic lens, why the body stores the residue of trauma and manipulation, and how permanently clearing what blocks your inner knowing becomes possible when ancient wisdom and modern energy healing work together.

Central to this healing journey is the groundbreaking work of Dr. Bradley Nelson — founder of Discover Healing and author of three transformational books: The Emotion Code, The Body Code, and The Heart Code.

Dr. Nelson's methodologies allow trapped emotions, subconscious patterns, and energetic imbalances to be identified with extraordinary precision — at the exact age they occurred, in the specific tissues and systems of the body where they are stored — and permanently released, without reliving the past or talking about it at all.

Through her own journey of over 2,200 energetic releases using these three systems, Ananta shares what becomes possible when Dr. Nelson's work is woven together with Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta, and Vedic Astrology in The Ancient Way's signature integrated healing program, Sovereign Within.

You'll discover:
- What empath intuitive knowing really is — and why it's not a mystical gift but a recoverable faculty
- How narcissistic abuse and the cycle of manipulation create subconscious messaging that overrides your gut signals
- Why somatic therapy exercises alone may not reach the root — and what the Emotion Code and Body Code offer instead
- How Ananta went from "trusting" to "liberated" in nine months through integrated healing
- The science and spirituality of permanently clearing trapped emotions from the body using Dr. Nelson's three systems

→ The Emotion Code → amzn.to/49GCUbh
→ The Body Code → amzn.to/4wigl6q
→ The Heart Code → amzn.to/47ikU5Z

Do you recognize the signs of high functioning depression in yourself or someone you love? In this powerful episode of True to Yourself, we dive deep into the hidden world of high functioning depression with renowned psychotherapist Dr. Margaret Rutherford, author of "Perfectly Hidden Depression."

Dr. Rutherford introduces her groundbreaking concept of "perfectly hidden depression" - a form of high functioning depression where emotional suppression becomes a survival strategy. Unlike traditional depression symptoms, perfectly hidden depression often goes undetected because sufferers appear successful, grateful, and put-together on the outside while struggling with deep loneliness and despair internally.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The key difference between perfectionism vs excellence and how destructive perfectionism fuels high functioning depression
• Signs of emotional suppression and how hiding behind masks impacts your authentic living journey
• Why therapy for high functioning depression requires a unique approach focused on vulnerability and emotional access
• The connection between childhood trauma and perfectly hidden depression patterns
• How toxic positivity and forced gratitude contribute to emotional suppression
• Practical strategies for healing from childhood trauma while maintaining your drive for excellence
• The role of anger management in depression recovery and why suppressed anger manifests through the body
• How to begin your journey from people-pleasing to authentic living without losing your relationships

Whether you're struggling with high functioning depression yourself, supporting a loved one, or working in the helping professions, this episode offers practical tools for recognizing emotional suppression and moving toward authentic living.

Dr. Margaret Rutherford is a clinical psychologist with 30 years of experience, author and podcast host. Her book Perfectly Hidden Depression: How to Break Free from the Perfectionism That Masks Your Depression has reached readers worldwide. Her TEDx talk has over 2 million views, and her SelfWork Podcast is ranked among the top mental health podcasts.

How do you know you are awakening spiritually? There are 3 main signs I feel are critical to gauge how much you are progressing on your spiritual growth journey. Learn what these are, and how to cultivate them on an ongoing basis as part of your emotional self care and to evolve and heal spiritually.

I share with you stories from ancient mythology, including that of an Indian goddess with many arms, and my own personal experiences, what it means to embody these 3 signs, as well as embrace greater self-love, no matter where you're at on your spiritual journey home.

This episode brings the true to yourself quote (that this podcast is based on) to life.

It will be particularly helpful for those who identify as an empath. Boundaries and a fuller definition of forgiveness of yourself and others (vs forgiveness and forgetting) will be explained in terms of how they support your journey of change + transformation.

This month here on the True to Yourself Podcast, we've been talking about the power of stability. Having this power means being able to say yes to the experiences and relationships that support you and no to those that don't. Having this power means cultivating the courage to go inward, developing balance and grounded-ness from within. One of the most powerful ways I know of to cultivate stability is by connecting with nature.

Today, I'm joined by the wonderful Emma Loewe about her new book: Return to Nature: The New Science of How Natural Landscapes Restore Us.

Emma takes us on a journey through 8 landscapes, like deserts and dry lands, oceans and coasts, and ice and snow, and shares insights gathered from science, personal experience, and interviews. She shows us how each place is unique in the way it uplifts and supports life.

Since I was a young child, I wished to live a life of service and giving back to the world in some way. Only I didn't quite know what it meant to do so until I encountered the deep Vedic spiritual teachings, which reveal to us what it means to serve at the highest level of our being. Central to the new understanding of service I gained along my spiritual journey and deep studies is that of developing instrument consciousness. I share with you in this podcast what it means to be an instrument of the divine, and how you can apply this knowledge to lead with integrity and be of the greatest service to all living beings.

There is a deep interconnection between mosquito bites and the path to attain moksha (spiritual liberation). The process of overcoming the nuisance of mosquito bites is strikingly similar to the process we must follow to free ourselves of desires (which keep us separate from our true Self). I share in this episode about my recent move to Florida, and how getting swarmed by mosquitos upon arrival and working to overcome them was a great reflection to me of the entire path of attaining spiritual freedom. There is a saying 'if you ever think you're too small to make an impact, try spending the night with a mosquito.' These tiny creatures are, in fact, that powerful to warrant an entire podcast dedicated to sharing their messages!

Holidays can be a very challenging time when all our buried away emotions arise to the surface. This gives us a very unique opportunity for healing at the level of our inner child, and an opportunity for transcendence at a cosmic, spiritual level. We need to feel to heal and, simultaneously, constantly learn about and remember who we are beyond our passing emotions and incessant thoughts. This helps us heal the split within us, which stands in the way of us evolving spiritually. When you are able to feel your emotions, without getting affected by your emotions, and ask yourself what every difficulty, trigger and/or challenge has to teach you, you have the opportunity to evolve by leaps and bounds spiritually. This episode will not only support you through the holidays, but is an ideal resource to revisit anytime you are feeling stressed or triggered.

Gratitude is considered the parent of all the other virtues, according to the ancient Vedic spiritual tradition. The ancient Vedic scriptures outline 5 daily sacrifices, or sacred offerings, that householders (non-monastic people) are to make to express profound gratitude and appreciation towards all of the entities of this earth. Learn what they are in this episode, and how you can begin to practice them to lead a happier, more spiritual, grateful lifestyle.

In this episode, I sit with Gautamji Jain, a senior protege of world renowned philosopher and author Swami Parthasarathy, to discuss the spiritual process of transformation and evolution. We discuss the biggest subconscious thought pattern that everyone wrongly believes, the law of karma, how to control your mind to control your life and be true to both your conviction and conscience.

This episode is perfect for anyone who is seeking to look within to examine your life and develop greater self-control and self-mastery along the spiritual path with time-tested ancient wisdom teachings to support your spiritual evolution.

About Gautamji:

A true spiritual warrior can dance between the heights of light and the despair of the darkness, unscathed. I share in this podcast about my personal journey of awakening to the power of my inner light in the midst of the darkest experience of my life.

In the Vedic spiritual tradition, it is believed that all the suffering we experience in life is due to lack of spiritual knowledge of who really are as eternal, all-powerful souls. You can activate your inner light by learning from ancient wisdom traditions.

The spiritual science of Vedanta reveals to us the fundamental oneness of the universe, and how we can return back to our original state of divinity. In doing so, you have the opportunity to look darkness in the face, see through illusions and reclaim your sovereign power as a spiritual being full of the light of a thousand radiant suns.

Learn about how I befriended darkness on my spiritual journey in this episode, and how you can, too, by learning and embodying spiritual knowledge.

Having healthy boundaries is one of the hardest things for empathetic souls to successfully manage. We tend to put the needs of others ahead of our own, to the point where we don't even feel like it's okay to have any needs of our own. When people with domineering personalities take over us to the point of even denying our lived subjective experience, and/or what objectively happened in our lives, it's really easy for empaths to start seriously self-doubting.

Though the very word 'boundary' itself can conjure up an image of a thorny gate locking a person into a cage (that may well be full of fear), we can change the way we see boundaries by first better understanding what they are. From there onwards, everything in our lives as empaths can transform for the better, as we honor our gifts and benefit from them ourselves, to deepen our capacity for empathy towards others. Learn in this podcast what boundaries actually are, how you can have 'fragrant' boundaries that can be expressed in a loving way, and how boundaries can be your saving grace on your spiritual journey as an empath.

We live in a world of projection. There is so much we can learn about ourselves and one another by listening very deeply to our own words, those of others and the emotions underlying them. If we look very closely, we will see that whatever we really admire in another is a reflection of what is admirable within us. Whatever we criticize in another is what we are critical of in our own selves.

That is why it is so important to continuously look inwards and engage in battle with the lower qualities within our own selves that we wish to transform, to be true to our higher Self. As the Prophet Muhammed once said: "the most excellent jihad is the conquest of one's self." Winning the war within is also the subject of "The Bhagavad Gita," the 9-night goddess festival of Navratri, and so many other epic spiritual conquests.⁠ Learn in this podcast how you can start tuning into your own criticisms to practice releasing judgments towards others and continuously work to transform your own negativities instead.

Discipline often sounds like a scary word that many of us perhaps associate with being punished for things we did - or did not do. In "The Bhagavad Gita," one of the greatest spiritual texts that is essentially a manual for how to be successful on the battlefield of our daily life challenges, it says "What is like poison in the beginning becomes like nectar in the end. What is like nectar in the beginning becomes like poison in the end."

Discipline is like a sacred fire that transforms the difficulty involved with overcoming your resistances into the power of winning a victory over your own self. It is what empowers you to taste the divine nectar of your true Self: the source of abiding love, peace, happiness, balance and radiant health. Learn more about how discipline is the greatest act of self-love, and how to start seeing it as an empowering force that supports you along every step of being true to yourself.

We often hear this expression 'just forgive and forget.' What often happens, however, when we simply forget past violations is that we tend to unconsciously recreate the situation in a new context, with a new cast of characters, playing the same old roles as before. The only way we can truly forgive without continuing to recreate situations that allow people to harm us is by developing our subtle intellect, a faculty of the higher mind in the Vedic spiritual tradition, which is known as the buddhi. Learn the difference between intelligence and intellect in this episode, and how you can develop your intellect to be able to forgive by never forgetting the spiritual power that you are at your core. You will also learn in this episode what it means to serve Truth and the greatest good of all in strong ways, with forgiveness in your heart.

So many people believe that you can simply meditate your way to the ultimate goal of spiritual enlightenment. They say how much relief they got from meditation, only to then get frustrated with it later, not be able to sustain the practice and eventually give it up altogether. This is extremely normal. The ancient wisdom of "The Bhagavad Gita" explains WHY it happens, and what you should actually focus upon instead to find greater, more lasting peace of mind from your spiritual quest.

The ancient spiritual science of Vedānta (the spiritual philosophy underlying the Yoga and Ayurveda traditions) gives us a solid framework of 4 stages to be true to our own higher Self.

Central to the process of being true to your higher Self is freeing yourself from the grip of desires that keep you feeling bound by your physical body, your emotional feelings and intellectual thoughts. I share in this episode about 3 timeless paths designed by ancient Vedic sages to help you transcend your desires at all three levels - and how cockroaches (yes, cockroaches!) and snakes supported me in practicing these paths, to be true to my own higher Self.⁠

Welcome to the True to Yourself Podcast, a place where we explore the power of authentic living. My name is Ananta Ripa Ajmera. I serve as co-founder and CEO of The Ancient Way, and Director of Ayurveda at THE WELL, a beautiful wellness space in the heart of New York City.

Ayurveda, and its sister science of Yoga, are oral lineage-based traditions, passed down from teacher to student since time immemorial. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have studied in one such lineage for 9 years, where I learned Ayurveda, Yoga and the spiritual philosophy of Vedanta directly from the oral tradition and ancient source texts.

Ananta is a spiritual name I received while studying. It is symbolic of my journey to know my true Self. It means "eternal" or "infinite." Another meaning of the name Ananta is the King of the Naga serpents. Ananta is also an Ayurvedic herb with deep roots, which benefits your skin and digestion. It is a definition of Truth, called Brahman (or Supreme Consciousness) in the Vedas. One of the most personally meaningful aspects of receiving the name Ananta for me is how it connects me with my maternal grandfather, a renowned Ayurveda healer from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. My maternal grandfather's name was "Amarchand," meaning "eternal moon."

In this podcast, I look forward to sharing with you about the alchemy of Ayurveda, which has deep roots in my family, going back many generations, as well as the ancient wisdom of the Vedas. I will guide you through understanding important verses of revered texts such as "The Bhagavad Gita," "The Upanishads" and more, and am delighted to also introduce you to many respected and wonderful soul friends I have made over the years while traversing the journey of being true to my higher Self.

Welcome home, to your true Self.
