Trust-Falling into the Universe: A Transformational Adventure

Original Air Date Wednesday, March 23, 2022

If the cells that make up our bodies regenerate completely every seven to ten years why is it that we hold on to and perpetuate trauma? And, if in every moment of our lives we have a choice about how to feel and how to react, why do some choose to be a victim? Suffering based on someone else’s actions is living amid that person’s karmic drama. It disempowers us and eliminates our agency.

To discover the transformational adventure of spirituality and how we are able to consciously create our lives, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with returning guest Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati. Sadhvi shares her story that is the basis of her book, Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation.

She reminds us that we have the choice to create our reality, and that forgiveness and compassion for others empower us to have compassion for ourselves.
