Highest Self Podcast®

"Do what you love," they say. But they don't tell you the other part-- that a lot of the time you spend doing what you love, you're doing stuff you don't love doing-- and that's normal! This heart-to-heart episode is all about how we ALL have to do things that aren't always fun and joyful to make our dreams come true. Being a conscious entrepreneur is #werk as we create this new paradigm and it's important we know that there WILL be road-blocks so we don't quit when they appear. I'm all about keeping it real with you guys and I think it's important we don't always glamorize the lives of entrepreneurs/ authors/ speakers/ influencers because EVERY job will have things that you don't always want to do. As creators, we must step-up to the plate and take each day by the horns because that's how we get stronger and help more people.

About four years ago, I bought a one-way ticket to Bali with no idea what to expect but knowing I needed a massive change in my life. I wasn't happy with the direction my life was going and knew there was something more to this human experience, but had no idea what that is (listen all about that part of my life in episode 41.) While studying African dance in Ubud, I met a woman named Malaika. I was enamored by her fierce warrior goddess-like energy and her ability to connect the spiritual with the Earth's wisdom. When I found out she had a 5 Elements Shamanic Dance Activation Facilitator Training Certification, I had to sign up. I ended up working for her to pay for some of it because I had no money to my name but I knew I needed to learn from her. Flash forward four years and everything I had set out for myself has come true, from writing books to being a spiritual teacher. All of this comes back to the foundation work I set in those years, connecting to my body's wisdom and the elements. I am so honored to introduce my teacher, Shaman Malaika Darville, to the Highest Self Podcast. Malaika brings a wealth of earth wisdom having walked the shamanic path for a lifetime. Across the globe, she is known for her ability to re-connect individuals with their inner body spirituality, helping all who practice with her to access to higher realms of consciousness and authenticity. Committed to personal and planetary awakening, Malaika works with the cardinal directions and elements EARTH, WATER, FIRE and AIR. Malaika founded the 5Elements Dance Activaton™ after receiving the gift of the 5th Element ETHER or SPACE during her yoga teacher training and Ayurvedic studies.

Have you ever felt blocked in certain areas of your life, such as your sensuality or ability to express yourself? Then you need to DANCE it out! This episode is all about how you can use different dance forms to balance your various chakras (energy centers in the body.) As a former competitive hip-hop and belly dancer, I truly believe that the body is the root of all emotional imbalances and by moving our bodies in certain ways, we can release traumas, pain, and blockages so our energy can flow freely and we can expand into our highest selves. We discuss: -The connection between our primal energy + African/ Dance Hall Dance -The connection between our sensual energy + belly dance, salsa, bachata, samba --The connection between our inner power-house + Middle Eastern + Greek line dancing and capoeria -The connection between our ability to give and receive love + Sufi swirling and ballroom dance -The connection between expressing our truth + Native American, Tibetan and Sanskrit chanting -The connection between harnessing our intuition + classical Indian, Balinese and other Asian dance forms -The connection between receiving downloads from the universe + dance meditation Some people/places I discuss: Malaika, my Shamanic and African dance teacher: inmyelements.com Nataraj Dance Festival at Zorba The Buddha in Delhi, India Intro/ Outro Music: Silent Ganges by Maneesh de Moor Be part of a community that supports you discovering your dharma in Rose Gold Goddesses, the sacred sisterhood collective with community, content, creativity and so much more — learn more about rosegoldgoddesses.com.

What's on your bucket list? Chances are, you haven't really thought about it for a while. But in this episode, you'll see how important it is to have a bucket list AND how to make all your dreams come true. Ben Nemtin is one of the most inspirational people I've met. After dealing with depression, he set out for a trip around the country with his friends to fulfill their bucket-list, just them and their small van. For every wish that they got to fulfill, they would fulfill someone elses. As people heard about their project, it grew and eventually became a show on MTV! In this interview, Ben shares with us how interconnected we all are: how our wishes are not so different from others. By helping one another, we all rise.

Believe it or not, Tantra is MUCH more than a sexual practice. Tantra is an ancient Vedic science based on experiencing ALL human emotions—joy, anger, sexuality, sadness and everything in between. Nothing is considered good or bad—everything is just accepted as a part of us that can be channeled into source energy. I learned SO much about Tantra is in incredible episode with seventh generation Tantra expert and spiritual advisor Chandresh Bhardwaj, who is the author of “Break the Norms: Questioning Everything You Think You Know About God and Truth, Life and Death, Love and Sex” with foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama (amazing right?!) We sat down in my home to discuss -his journey from student in India to wall -street broker in New York to spiritual advisor and meditation leader -the truth about Tantra -the goddess Kali—and how she is so much more than just the Goddess of Destruction -accepting your shadows -how you hold onto your ancestors strengths and weaknesses -what it’s like to have a guru for a Dad and Grandpa -how NOT to put on pressure to on your kids to be a certain way -how he manifested the Dalai Lama writing the foreword to his book and so much more. We have SO much in common so if you like hearing from me, you’ll LOVE hearing from Chandresh!
