Have you ever been curious about the concept of the guru? I explore my initial reservations about the concept and revise my definition.
This episode also discusses the question of whether we need teachers, therapists, or gurus to transform. I share some of my personal experiences learning about and reflecting on Ram Dass’s guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Let’s consider how experiencing unconditional love can help to purify us from our egos to more fully embody the love that we are.

Take Action: Loving Awareness Meditation
Here is a link to an article by Ram Dass about the meditation and to a YouTube video where he directs you through the process.
Love is not something that you need to become. It is something that you already are. It’s not about thinking or even about doing, it is about being. This meditation practice can help you learn to be the loving awareness that you are.
