161. Reincarnation - A Tantra Perspective
Conscious texting is now available on the telegram text channel. Here is the link to join the free channel globally. http://t.me/leelagurukul In this episode, Chandresh shares the tantra perspective on reincarnation. The following questions are covered: Why do we need to discuss reincarnation? What is the purpose of reincarnation from a tantra perspective? Do all beings reincarnate? Are there some that don’t? Those who don’t reincarnate, is it by choice, will or just a random coincidence? If reincarnation is real, why do we not remember our past lives? What is the role of your sankalpa and sadhana in the journey of reincarnation? What role does ancestral healing play in reincarnation, the family you are born through, and the lessons you learn in each life by belonging to that family unit? What role do Shiva and Kali play in death + reincarnation? Some people tend to live a highly negative or toxic life when they are alive. Be it drug addiction, criminal activity, or negative situations where they happened to be at the wrong time such as getting murdered…how does reincarnation take place for them? People will sometimes talk about how they are the reincarnate of spiritual leaders such as Jesus and Buddha. Is there any validity to this and what does tantra say regarding reincarnation of significant spiritual teachers?

160. Claiming the power of your Intention
Conscious texting is now available on the telegram text channel. Here is the link to join the free channel globally. http://t.me/leelagurukul In this week’s episode, Chandresh covers the fundamentals of intentions. Intentions are not the same thing as goals. Instead, intentions are the sankalpa or the conscious desire of your soul. In the tantra traditions, we bring a very sacred focus on the sankalpa because meditation without sankalpa is considered irrelevant and sankalpa without meditation is considered useless. They both work together in an important way. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the roots of the intention and look at the following questions: How do you know if you are setting the right intention in meditation? How do you know setting that intention is working? How do you work with your intentions both during and outside of your meditation practice? What makes working with intentions outside of your meditation different from setting goals? How many intentions should you work with at one time and what do you do once your intention starts to take place? Is there any way to set the wrong intentions that could harm your spiritual path or growth? What are the causes of an intention not coming into fruition? Is there a “right way” to support intentions so they manifest easier? Visit cbmeditates.com to send your questions and to know more about Chandresh's work.

157. Decoding Dharma: A Tantra Perspective
Conscious texting is now available on the telegram text channel. Here is the link to join the free channel globally. http://t.me/leelagurukul Dharma has always been seen and revered as one of the essential elements of living a harmonious, happy, and meaningful life. In modern spirituality, dharma has taken new meanings and interpretations. While some of the dharma narratives in the modern times empower us to think deeper about our existence, there are certain meanings of dharma that take us away from the authenticity of this powerful work. In this episode, Chandresh shares the tantra and eastern wisdom traditional perspective of what dharma is and the various questions around it. Chandresh covers the following questions: What is the difference between karma and dharma? How are they related? Does dharma change with time/as you get older? Is dharma viewed differently in different religions and cultures? How is dharma different from religion? How has new age spirituality changed the understanding of dharma? What are the benefits and downsides to this? Is dharma related at all to astrology/can it be determined by astrology? We hope this episode helps you understand and gain a deeper understanding of dharma. If this episode resonates with you, please let us know on instagram @cbmeditates.

154. The Rooted Feminine: A Tantra Meditation
Conscious texting is now available on the telegram text channel. Here is the link to join the free channel globally. http://t.me/leelagurukul In Tantra, we honor the divine feminine in many of her forms. Each form represents a part of us that we need to heal, expand, and evolve. In this meditation, Chandresh guides the students to tap into the rooted feminine that lives within all of us. The rooted feminine represents the one who is willing to understand the roots, heal the roots, and go beyond the trauma, anger, and resentments that are all holding back the nurturing of the roots. We invite the students to do this meditation during the upcoming Navratri time, as it will be a powerful meditation to invoke the rooted feminine energy. If doing this meditation in nature, simply be connected to nature as you do this practice. If doing this meditation inside, we recommend also lighting a candle and keeping roses at the meditation altar. We hope this meditation is helpful to everyone as they connect with the powerful healing energy of the rooted feminine within.
