Manage episode 403719555 series 3344695
Today’s incredible guest, Radha Metro-Midkiff, takes us on a transformative journey through the profound principles of integral yoga and mindfulness. Radha, a seasoned yogi and a living testament to the power of these ancient practices, shares her personal experience of navigating the intricacies of life through the lens of integral yoga. In a moment of vulnerability, she recounts a morning practice where the wisdom of the body takes center stage because yoga is about a deeply intentional and meditative connection with oneself.
Radha shares her own journey through challenging times, including the aftermath of September 11th. Her resilience and eventual triumph over anxiety and depression showcase the integrative approach of yoga, combining Western methods with ancient techniques like Pratipaksha Bhavana.
A fascinating discussion ensues about the intersection of science and spirituality. Radha, with her grounded approach, highlights how scientific advancements align with ancient yogic wisdom. The conversation touches on the power of mantras, particularly in Sanskrit, to induce healing vibrations in the body, a concept now supported by scientific studies.
Join us in this soul-nourishing episode as Radha Metro-Midkiff unfolds the timeless wisdom of integral yoga, offering a beacon of hope and practical guidance for those seeking balance and serenity in their lives. Tune in now to embark on a journey of self-discovery and holistic well-being!
