Stay Grounded with Raj Jana

Your body is screaming for rest, but the moment you try to slow down, every alarm in your system goes off. Why does stillness feel like a threat?Because while you're chasing tangible solutions, your nervous system is running on an invisible map—one created when you were 3 years old. A map that says: the world is dangerous, don't let your guard down. And that map is keeping you sick.Most people don't realize that safety itself feels dangerous. The moment symptoms improve, you're waiting for them to come back. The moment you start to relax, panic sets in. This isn't self-sabotage. This is your nervous system operating on outdated programming—and it's triggering something called Cell Danger Response at the cellular level.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why your nervous system learned that feeling safe is actually dangerous—and how this contradiction is manifesting in your body right now• The unconscious "safety map" created between ages 0-7 that still dictates your healing capacity as an adult• How Cell Danger Response keeps your cells in defense mode, blocking detox, energy production, and healing—no matter what supplements you take• The survival strategies you developed (perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing) that saved you then but are destroying your health now• Why you can't think, supplement, or protocol your way out of nervous system dysregulation• The three pillars of true nervous system transformation: Awareness, Witnessing, and Integration• Why relational medicine (being seen and held by safe others) is more powerful than any biohack• How one woman raised her HRV from the 30s to the 90s in 90 days using this exact frameworkReady to experience what it feels like to be truly witnessed? Book a complimentary 30-minute Liber8 session at https://www.liber8.health/witness and discover what happens when your nervous system is held in safe presence.Connect with Raj:Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

You crave deep love, but when it shows up, your body goes into lockdown.Your partner is loving, consistent, devoted—yet something inside you tightens. You forget how much they care. You pick fights. You feel safer in chaos than in peace. Sound familiar? This isn't self-sabotage—it's your nervous system protecting you from a love your childhood didn't prepare you to receive.In this raw and intimate conversation, Raj and Natalie share how they've navigated this exact edge in their relationship—and the practice of surrender that's transformed grip into grace.Here's what you'll discover:→ Why relationship "ruptures" might actually be signs of expansion (not collapse)→ The surprising reason unconditional love feels confronting (and what it's illuminating in you)→ How to practice surrender without losing your discernment or safety→ What it means to "pull up a chair" for your fear instead of fixing it→ Why frozen nervous systems block love—and the daily practice that thaws them→ The difference between surrendering and fawning (and how to tell which you're doing)→ How to build self-trust so opening doesn't feel dangerous→ Why "letting it be this good" requires more courage than staying in familiar painThe truth? You can't receive a gift with clenched fists—and you can't create magic while bracing for impact.If you've ever wondered why love feels scarier than loneliness, or why you resist the very thing you're praying for, this episode will crack you open.

The grief you never fully let in.

Dr. Amy Albright is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and clairvoyant healer with 23 years of experience reading and transforming the human energy field. She's the co-founder of Holon, where she partners with leading neuroscientists to deliver intensive neurological transformation retreats that produce EEG-verified brain changes in just four days.But here's what makes Amy different: she doesn't believe in processing trauma. She believes in paradigm shifts so profound that the wound doesn't just heal—it disappears entirely, leaving you stronger, wiser, and more expansive than before.Most of us have been taught that healing means understanding our problems, labeling our pathologies, and slowly working through the pain. But what if that's the exact reason we stay stuck? What if the mind's need to process keeps us trapped in the story, while the energetic body holds the key to instant liberation? In this transformative conversation, Raj and Amy dismantle everything you thought you knew about healing and reveal the quantum mechanics of true transformation.In this episode, discover:• Why most healing modalities keep you stuck in your story—and what actually creates lasting change • The "tailbone technique" that activates biological safety in seconds (you can do this anywhere) • How to identify when you're truly healed vs. when you're still carrying trauma you don't realize • Why "processing" emotions mentally keeps you trapped—and what the energetic alternative looks like • The "coordinates method" for flipping paradigms instantly instead of analyzing problems for years • How to hold space for others' pain without getting pulled into their suffering • The foundational ingredients required for transformation that most people miss entirely • Why becoming grounded means remembering you're an "endless soul on an infinite journey"You are not broken. You never were. You are an energetic being capable of quantum shifts that transcend everything you thought was fixed. This conversation will show you how to stop swimming in circles and start embodying the freedom that's already yours.Connect with Dr. Amy:Instagram: @dramyalbrightWebsite: https://www.holonexperience.com/Connect with Raj:Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

There's a paradigm shift happening in healing that most people are missing - and without understanding it, you'll keep hitting the same ceiling no matter how much inner work you do.You've been told that healing is an individual journey. Fix yourself first, then help others. But what if this entire framework is keeping you stuck at a developmental stage that can never access the deepest states of consciousness, embodiment, and transformation?Dr. John Churchill - clinical psychologist, 15-year Tibetan meditation practitioner, and founding member of Ken Wilber's Integral Institute - has spent 25 years mapping why individual healing approaches plateau and what actually unlocks the next evolutionary leap in human development. This Episode Reveals the Missing Key That Changes Everything:Why your nervous system has a biological ceiling when healing happens in isolation - and how to transcend itThe hidden reason trauma isn't personal but multi-generational, cultural, and civilizational - affecting your capacity for awakeningHow attachment wounds create an invisible barrier to accessing mystical states, no matter how advanced your spiritual practiceWhy even successful therapy can only make you "a functioning member of a dysfunctional culture" - and what comes nextThe evolutionary shift from hero's journey individualism to collective awakening that unlocks planetary consciousnessHow community healing rewires your nervous system in ways solo work cannot achieveThe integration of cleaning up (healing trauma), growing up (developmental maturity), waking up (spiritual realization), and showing up (service)Why understanding humanity as a single organism fundamentally changes your healing trajectoryThis isn't about adding community to your healing journey - it's about recognizing that the deepest states of consciousness, the most profound embodiment, and the transformation our world needs can only emerge through collective awakening.Without this paradigm shift, you'll remain in what Churchill calls the "pre-collective" stage of development, unable to access the planetary awareness and heart-centered intelligence that represents the next phase of human evolution.This conversation doesn't just offer new techniques - it provides the framework that makes all your previous healing work finally integrate and unlock the transformational states you've been seeking.Connect with Dr. John:Website: https://www.planetarydharma.com/Instagram:@PlanetaryDharmaEmail: hello@planetarydharma.comConnect with Raj:Instagram: @raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.
