Episode 32: Break the bow (4/22/20)
Letting go of how we think things should be so we can be open to what awaits us beyond is difficult. But sometimes it’s the letting go of what we think should be that creates the space we need to let a bigger plan unfold.

When there is a kink in the hose, we must work to untangle it. Vira and Doyal discuss what it means to trust in the happenings of life.

Episode 30: Keep plugging in (4/20/20)
When we feel the weariness of day to day life, it’s critical to reconnect to the why of our spiritual pursuits. Just like a cloth needs to sit in dye to let the color set deeply, we want our purpose to set deeply within our minds and hearts. Reminding ourselves and each other of that principle is critical to keep us sustained for the long haul.

Episode 29: We all need to be seen, but by whom and for what? (4/19/20)
There is a need to be seen in all of us, but who do we really need to be seen by, and why? Doyal and Vira discuss the challenges of being seen by the divine and needing validation through the material world. When we allow ourselves to be seen, loved and known by the divine, we walk outside and are able to serve others with a full cup.

Episode 28: Overcoming Complacency (4/18/20)
Though perhaps we are beginning to settle in the monotony of day to day life, Vira and Doyal remind us that the gardens of our hearts need tending to! What brings us deep excitement and energy that can allow us to launch ourselves fully into our spiritual practices? Whether it’s watering the garden, or sitting beneath the waterfall of spiritual energy, how do we situate ourselves in such a way that we experience full invigoration?

Episode 27: Put on your puddle jumpers (4/17/20)
Vira gets jiggy with it as Doyal recites lyrics from India Arie, Tracy Chapman and Whitney Houston (yes, Whitney Houston), reminding us that we can either wait for the storm to pass, or we can dance in the rain. Krishna is waiting to dance with each of us, but it might require us to let go of how we think our circumstances should be and embrace what lays beyond our current vision.

Episode 25: Gratitude is God consciousness (4/15/20)
Doyal’s not in control, Vira is feeling grateful and there are no winners for today’s most focused meditation practice contest. When we sit down to meditate or pray, we’re confronted with how much we cling to control by observing all the things our mind races to and worries about. Ultra self-reliance is an expression of fear that we can gradually let go of as we practice turning inwards for guidance, strength and direction.

Episode 24: Start your fear journal (4/14/20)
Anxiety, fear, and anger can often be surface level emotions. If we dig deeper, we come into contact with something more. By shining light on these fears, we can allow them to become catalysts of transformation as we realize the things we fear losing the most are inherent to our being and are always with us.

Episode 23: Carried across the finish line (4/13/20)
In times of deep challenge, how can we lean into a deeper trust and sit with ourselves, removing self-judgement? Through the ups and downs we can realize the perfection within imperfection and we let go of the need to do this all alone.

Episode 22: Calm seas don’t make a good sailor (4/12/20)
Vira shares that while he is not a fan of the stormy nights of life, and it would be easier to play in the sun, he recognizes that to stay through the rain brings us closer to unconditional love. Rather than turning away from the deeper challenges in life, how can we stay aboard the ship and trust that the sun will appear through the clouds again and again?

Doyal gets honest about the struggles we find in spiritual life, which opens a conversation about sitting with the challenges and moving through the process. Vira reminds us that spiritual practice is a science, which requires patience, confidence and enthusiasm. If we bail out as soon as things get uncomfortable, boring, or there’s another cheap thrill pining for our attention, we’ll never find what we’re really looking for.

Episode 19: My inner landscape is mine to shape (4/9/20)
We all have an inner landscape. Oftentimes we can be so concerned with our external circumstances that we forget to tend to the garden of our heart. It is the seed of devotion within that will sprout into our greatest fulfillment, so what are we doing to nurture, protect, and develop that seed? Vira and Doyal discuss pulling out the weeds, churning the soil, and watering the seeds within.

Episode 18: Creating Spiritual Culture (4/8/20)
Culture is like a river that takes us wherever the current flows. How aware are we of the cultures we immerse ourselves in? If we’re conscious, that river can support and protect the values we hold dear. If we float on autopilot, we can end up in places that aren’t always desirable, but it makes sense if we look back because, well..that’s where the river flows. If we take time to assess what we value most, we can create an inner culture of the heart. That inner culture can then manifest externally in a way that leads us downstream towards the shore of our deepest aspirations.

Episode 17: The trap of speed date spirituality (4/7/20)
Vira and Doyal discuss practicing patience and dedication in spiritual life. In a world of instant gratification, we’ve become accustomed to flip through the menu, swipe right, change the channel, and move on from anything that doesn’t immediately grab and hold our attention. But cheap pleasures leave us yearning for more. Spiritual connection is an investment of the heart that requires us to stay with it and overcome the urge to give up or move one when the mind gets restless.
