Ep. #19 Vayia Nafees: Happiness from Within

Root & Rise with Lucy

Vayia’s energy is incredibly warm & loving: even just hearing her voice you’ll feel like you’ve been given the biggest Mama bear hug. She is deeply spiritual & beautifully human all in one go - this makes for the most nurturing & reassuring combination all bundled up in one gorgeous human being. In this episode Vayia shares with us the whys & hows of Insight Meditation (from the Vipassanā line of meditation) - we chat all about the benefits, the obstacles, & how to actually do it. We also chat about the concept of Yin & Yang energy, Reiki, & so much more. This conversation comes at a time when many of us need that reassuring calm in our lives - if you’re struggling with lockdown, stress, anxiety, then the tips that are shared by Vayia will very likely be of use to you.
