What if I told you that you were living in an illusion?  Today we question the nature of reality with Dr. Srikumar Rao, author of Modern Wisdom, Ancient Roots; he is a groundbreaking business coach and speaker who taps into ancient concepts that are still relevant to post-industrial society. This timeless wisdom will wake you from the illusion of dissatisfaction and desire.  In this episode, Dr. Rao shares three powerful ideas that will shift your perception of reality and help unlock your capacity for joy.  Happiness does not depend on anything; Dr.Rao points out that the idea that your joy hinges on your accomplishments is the illusion of want. You are chasing a feeling that you think will set you free, but the bigger house, the better job, and more money are not what will bring you joy because you can tap into eternal bliss under any conditions. He explains the Hindu concept of Ānanda, the state of being which allows you to let go of your earthly attachments and achieve eternal bliss. Ānanda is your natural state of being because the universe is benevolent, and everything you experience is neither good nor bad, so you do not need to chase anything. Everything in your life is as it should be and is designed specifically for your growth and fulfillment. Dr. Rao demystifies the mindset necessary to unlock eternal bliss.  Join us to recognize the illusion you’re living in so that you can set yourself free from it and experience the beauty of life as it unfolds before you.   Key Takeaways: [2:00] Modern Wisdom Ancient Roots [3:30] You Are Living In An Illusion [9:20] Searching For a Sense of Fullness  [12:00] Recognizing The Dilemma  [18:35] The Happiness Illusion [27:45] You are  Ānanda [31:25] Gratitude is a Feeling  [39:00] The Benevolent Universe  [42:00] Is the Universe Friendly?   Where to Find Guest: TheRaoInstitute.com Modern Wisdom, Ancient Roots  Memorable Quotes: “You cannot solve an internal problem with external action.”  [11:00]  -Dr. Srikumar Rao “You’re introducing duality.

There is no me to experience something else, we are all one.”   [13:20] - Dr. Srikumar Rao   To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: Mindvalley.com YouTube: @vishenlakhiani Instagram: @mindvalley Instagram: @vishen Facebook: @mindvalley   Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW

Today on The Mindvalley Show, we are creating a framework to develop your child's passion and vision for life. Our guest is Mathew Knowles, the father of legendary Beyonce and Solange Knowles and the visionary behind Destiny's Child. He gives insight into his mindset as a parent and how you can help your children achieve their wildest dreams. No one can be great at everything, yet parents commonly pressure their children into being straight-A students, assume extracurricular activities, and expect perfection unseen in the adult world. Mathew believes perfection kills your child's creativity and prevents them from realizing their passions. He teaches you to nurture your children's natural abilities instead of molding them into your vision.  We discuss the importance of honesty. Mathew reveals that he never hid his mistakes and struggles from his children. This honest communication set Beyonce and Solange up for success in the real world. Without experiencing failure, your children can't grow, and one big mistake could be their catalyst for greatness.  Mathew imparts his key ingredients to develop your children's passion so they can dream big and never fear failure. All children have greatness inside them, and today we learn how you can become the positive influence your children need to achieve their vision. Your words and actions unconsciously influence your children's understanding of the world.

We didn’t hide that from our kids and I think that was a positive thing.” [23:43] -Mathew Knowles  Words matter, especially with kids.

Today on The Mindvalley Show, we journey into the intriguing topic of intuition in business. Our guest is Laura Day, the worlds leading intuitive consultant who helps companies develop their intuitive abilities to improve operations, solve problems and increase profit. She has written extensively on perception and intuition, and her book “The Circle” creates a framework for anyone to develop their innate intuitive abilities.  In this episode, she defines intuition and how top CEOs tap into their intuitive abilities to make bold decisions by shifting their perception in space and time. Many people mistakenly define intuition as an emotional response, but Laura explains how intuition is a logical data-driven sense that allows you to dispassionately observe the world, people, and relationships to determine future potential.  Neurodivergent personalities often struggle to function appropriately in social settings, but Laura uncovers why people challenged by these pathologies also hold the potential to create dynamic data-driven companies that can impact all of society. She explains how the average CEO, has some form of neurodivergence that allows them to tap into a level of intuition that the average person resists.  If you are curious about intuition and want to shift your perception of data, reality, and human potential, join us for one of our most interesting conversations yet.   Key Takeaways: [3:50] What is intuition? [5:00] Laura’s introduction to perception [8:00] Your pathology can be your potential [11:40] The gift of non-local attention [13:25] The importance of precision [16:30] The symptom dialogue  [18:00] Business intuitive consultations [25:00] Defining your intuitive senses [28:00] Ethical practices  [32:00] The framework of The Circle [36:00] Living out your goals  [38:00] Intuition versus impulsivity    Where to Find Our Guest: LauraDay.com Instagram  Facebook    Memorable Quotes: “That ability that doesn’t allow you to chitchat appropriately at a dinner party does allow you to dispassionately observe a situation, to move it around in space and time, to experience other people’s perspectives, but as data, not as emotion the way an empath does, as data.”   [9:05] -Laura Day “It is important to be precise, it is important to be literal, not that the rest isn’t beautiful, imagery, and art and all of that is beautiful, but the literal world, that creates a profit, that creates jobs, that creates a function, that creates new medicines, that precise data-driven world when it has a positive goal, is an art of its own.

Today on The Mindvalley Show we discuss the nature of resilience with Dr. Neeta Bhushan, author of “That Sucked! Now what?” Dr. Neeta is a cosmetic dentist turned performance coach. She is helping professionals reclaim their emotional grit and build resilience through radical self-awareness.  As a child, Dr. Neeta suffered the catastrophic loss of her mother, brother, and father. She never learned how to process her emotions of grief and loss, so she buried herself in her work and a toxic relationship until she realized the life she was leading was not in alignment with her true self. At that moment, Dr. Neeta understood that strength was not resilience but a form of avoidance. She teaches you how to embrace your emotions instead of allowing them to fester so that you can live a life free of emotional judgment! True resilience is the ability to accept yourself as you are, and sometimes that means sitting with your grief so that it does not overcome you. In this episode, Dr.Neeta lays out the framework for emotional wellness and true resilience.

I had not accepted my reality, for so many years, for a decade, but from the outside, I had a million-dollar practice. From the outside, I was changing smiles.”  [4:45] -Dr.Neeta Bhushan “If we also suppress those feelings that we are ashamed of, or we think that our negative emotions. I mean there is research that supports that well they’ll start manifesting diseases in our bodies because we are not aligning with ourselves. We’re holding in the resentment. We’re holding in the pain or that grudge from somebody else, where is it going to show up? [14:10] -Dr. Neeta Bhushan “Our emotional capacity to feel is so important so that we’re accepting ourselves, and all parts of ourselves, and our ability to really feel what is coming up instead of judging our feelings, shaming our feelings, or thinking that we’re not allowed to feel a certain way, just because we don’t deem it acceptable.”  [25:20] -Dr.Neeta Bhushan     To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: Mindvalley.com YouTube: @vishenlakhiani Instagram: @mindvalley Instagram: @vishen Facebook: @mindvalley   Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW
