Using Manasika Tapas for Reflection and Growth

Using Manasika Tapas for Reflection and Growth

In this Episode we’ll explore a teaching from Chapter 17 of the Gita (yep, that’s the chapter where Krishna gives nutritional advice… ;). The Manasika Tapas are the 5 ‘austerities’ of the mind for us to practise as Yogi-householders. They are: cheerfulness, kindness, silence, self-control and purity of intent. Enjoy!

Catching Jnanavarana in Your Biz... Before It's Too Late!

Have you ever found yourself having taken action or made a decision only to find yourself feeling, ‘What the HELL was I thinking?’ Jnanavarana is the phenomenon of not having access to all of your wisdom. Making decisions or taking action when some of your knowledge is obscured.

In this episode I’m outlining the three times you need to consider this, and some prompts and tools for each of those times so you find yourself regretting fewer choices and actions, and feeling more confident that you’re going in to things with your eyes wide open. I hope it’s useful!

Cory is on the beach in Brazil for this interview, so there is a little background noise... but i think it adds to the effect! Enjoy!
