The Art of Stillness in a Noisy World | Magnus Fridh

Season 3 · Episode 16

Tuesday, October 15, 2024 • Duration 01:02:03

“Buddhists always consider new people as friends. Not the other way around, we should see each other as friends. It makes the world a better place.”

In this episode, I’m talking to Magnus Fridh, a teacher of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation. Magnus is also one of the founders of The Mindfulness App. His latest book, “The Art of Stillness in a Noisy World” (Hardie Grant), is about how to find tranquillity and peace in everyday life.

Magnus started meditating in his teens and immersed himself in the subject through Tibetan Buddhism and university studies in Indology.

Magnus and I discuss the power of meditation to anchor us in life's ups and downs, the many doorways into stillness, and both the science of meditation and the philosophy of compassion that can help get us out of rumination and into the ananda maya kosha. We also discuss trusting the hyper-focus of ADHD and how yoga off the mat in the coming years is more important than ever.

Simon is also my partner in freedom and in life and it was such a joy to have his perspective and lived wisdom on a Curious Yogi. He is a Swede of few words, but yes, those words are very carefully selected and wonderful.

Our conversation today is focused on Seva or selfless service, healthcare work and charity. Where do they all intersect with our sadhana or spiritual lives?

On Guru, Knowledge, Meditation & Pure Space | Alka Srivastava

Season 3 · Episode 5

Wednesday, May 29, 2024 • Duration 01:04:13

“Meditation is not for being relaxed or gaining some expertise. It’s for recognizing that space as yourself - then you are not fearful of the beginning or end because you recognize yourself as Pure Free and Forever.”

In this episode, I’m talking to Alka Srivastava, an extraordinarily advanced meditator and total master who has devoted her life to unfolding Self-awareness. Alka is the youngest daughter of Swami Shyam, founder of the International Meditation Institute in the Himalayas of India.

She has been meditating and singing since age three and has spent her life studying the ancient scriptures as illuminated by Swamiji. In this special episode Alka shares her knowledge and wisdom in a way that applies to all who wish to find that inner sense of peace and knowing who they truly are.

Hinduism, The Eternal Truth & What Yoga Is Not | Stewart Gilchrist

Season 3 · Episode 4

Wednesday, May 8, 2024 • Duration 01:14:48

“If you get rid of what you’re not you suss out what you are. Whatever you’re left with is you. And it’s the same with meditation.”

Another mind-stretching conversation with teacher and spiritual friend Stewart Gilchrist. We recorded this in Rishikesh during Stew's retreat and it is such a joy and privilege to share it with you.

We cover a lot of terrain in this packed episode. Here’s a peek:

➖ Hinduism and Hindutvas

➖Santana Dharma or the Eternal Truth and understanding the ancient aspects of yoga

➖Why people do yoga to get fit and what they're missing

➖What will be the saviour of modern yoga

➖Neti Neti and meditation

➖Understanding the kleshas, particularly abhinevesha

➖The Guru Shishya relationship

➖Mooladhara and communitarianism

And ultimately our conversation revolves around getting in touch with your true Self, the eternal truth.

I told Stew I intended to get to the real essence of yoga in this conversation and I think we reached there. Enjoy friends!

In oneness,

Bobbi

Inner Expansiveness As A Tool To Move Through The World | Satsang with Anandi Brownstein

Season 3 · Episode 3

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 • Duration 01:07:51

"It's the daily practice of meditation without expectation. It's not a wish-fulfilling cow that if you meditate you'll have a great day. It's the practice of placing the identification on that meditation state as who you are."

A loaded, joyful episode filled with satsang and conversation with my dear friend and fellow yogi Anandi Brownstein - a cinematographer and documentary director who shares her lived wisdom with us from a lifetime of meditating and growing up in the Himalayas of India.

We surf on some profound concepts and share each of our unique perspectives. Nandi shares her thoughts on life and practice that we can all begin to think about for ourselves;

➖cultivating inner expansiveness as a brilliant tool to move effortlessly in the world;

➖the yogic work of purification and expansion;

➖ maintaining peace as an individual;

➖why confusion happens and how to get out of it and;

➖not identifying with any limiting idea that confines you.

She also reads a verse from Sri Nisaragadatta Maharaj’s book of discourse called “I am That” and we discuss Josh Scheri’s podcast “The Emerald”.

What does it mean to surrender the ego to Guru or God? | SEASON 2 FINALE with Vijay Shyam

Season 2 · Episode 25

Thursday, February 1, 2024 • Duration 01:33:27

Today I’m joined live in Sainj Valley, Himachal Pradesh, with a wonderful teacher, satsangee and great human being who I’m honoured to call my friend - Vijay Shyam. Check out season 1 episode 5 for the first conversation we had on the podcast, where Vijay shares his stories and insights and his meeting with Baba Vivekanand almost 40 years ago.

As Vijay and I adventured for a few days in the Himalayas, we had a special meeting with this very same Baba before we recorded this episode. As we discuss what we’re experiencing and understanding in our own sadhana, highlighted by the teachings of our shared Guru, Babaji, and other enlightened beings, I’ve clipped in some of our talk with Babaji from his little room at the temple.

Here are some of the major points we circle on:

➖08:55 Place everything at the feet of Guru

➖16:52 The world will keep pushing your buttons

➖18:01 How to be like the trees meditating

➖22:09 Grief of death and knowing unborn

➖34:30 We are the eternal Being, not beings

➖42:35 Babaji and Zero-ness - just empty your thoughts

➖49:29 Burning karm and don’t interfere with nature

➖55:42 Guidance is important - hold somebody’s hand to walk this road

➖61: 50 Surrender everything, even Sattwa or goodness

➖1:08:10 Making any being less than God is a kind of violence

Connect with Vijay Shyam at www.nondual.dk www.linktr.ee/vijayshyam108

This delightful and deep conversation focuses on egolessness, surrender, death and living a truly illuminated life of oneness by knowing all as God, or Guru. This truly celebrates the highest knowledge, great company and another successful season of A Curious Yogi Podcast.
