Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.  This episode is a reminder for all of us to tap into our creative courage. Chandresh has blended creativity with courage in this episode because he feels to truly be creative we must have courage. True creativity may not have any reference points. It does not mean manufacturing or assembling things that are already recycling themselves. Instead, true creativity goes beyond our logic, calculations, comparisons, or even our vision of how we want things to be seen. In this age in time where our ideas are so influenced by what is trending and what is making the news, we need to go back into a space where we are not creating anything out of the demand and pressure, but are simply honoring that creativity within us. We hope this episode takes people beyond the fear and need to satisfy the noise out there, and simply gives you the courage to show up in your most creative courage and fearless version of who you are.   Have any questions or curiosities about your spiritual journey?

119. Break the norms podcast is now Leela Gurukul

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.  This episode is directly derived from the teachings of Vigyan Bhairava Tantra, a tantra scripture that means the science of going beyond consciousness. This scripture shares a lot about honoring and nurturing the divine feminine. Chandresh shares a part of how to honor the mystery of the divine feminine. In three specific ways, Chandresh invites the listeners to dive into the divine feminine to understand its depth and mystery. The three layers are nurturing, stillness, and sensuality. In these three sensitive lessons, we encourage people to listen with a lot of pause, stillness, and reverence to the divine feminine within them and around them to invite any questions and curiosities that may arise.   Have any questions or curiosities about your spiritual journey?

118. The Divine Feminine Mystery - A Tantra Perspective

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.    This episode reflects on the mental race we all are in. The race to be first, to fit in, to look better, to know better before another person has the information. All of this oversupply is unnecessary and creates competition with things that do not matter. In this episode, Chandresh reminds you to make your life simple again, to know when to pause, and to ask important questions to keep a check on mental health. What we are experiencing right now is a teaser. If we do not keep a check on our mental health and creativity, then this current and collective anxiety may become even more challenging to handle.   Have any questions or curiosities about your spiritual journey?

117. You’re Not Lost - A Talk on Mental Health

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.    Each chakra has power, strength, and healing energy. When we do not understand the strength in the chakras, this same energy can go unconscious,  becoming destructive and possibly leading to addiction and mental health challenges. In this episode, Chandresh shares the potential we hold in each energy center. A mindful use and understanding of each energy center is key to awakening, enlightenment, and mental peace. By the end of this episode, we hope people have more practical tools to understand the blessings and curses that are held within and have the information to lead with the right choices ahead.   Have any questions or curiosities about your spiritual journey?

116. Blessings and Curses of the Seven Chakras

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.  In this episode, we will be diving deeper into how to honor the ones who have passed away. Either due to an accidental death, the pandemic, murder, suicide, or a premature death (under 75 in the USA). Chandresh shares a few basic insights including how we understand the concept of death, what you can do to honor the dead and give them peace, how you can help them in the transition, and what really is the transition for them. Chandresh also discusses how to let go during this process, go beyond the body and physical existence, and understand this existence on a conscious level of awareness and the level of tantra. This episode dives deep into the tantra perspective on honoring the dead for those who have had an accidental or premature death.  Useful links: Chandresh's YouTube Channel Find Your Source of Happiness - 21 Day Challenge Private Guidance Program with Chandresh Buy the book - Break the Norms  Instagram: @cbmeditates About Chandresh: Chandresh Bhardwaj is a seventh generation tantra teacher, spiritual advisor, and speaker.

115. Death and Healing in a Pandemic - A Tantra Perspective

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.    This episode is about understanding whether we live as consciousness or keep doing things as a human-robot. While we may think we have control over everything, there is almost nothing that we can control. When we start to become available to higher consciousness, we start to understand the difference between what we can manage and what we just have to cooperate with. This episode is an invitation to dive deeper into your elements of sexual energy, ego, greed, anger, happiness, and all of the other emotions that really define you. Then to understand how these emotions are controlling you rather than you managing them. Once you understand that, we arrive at the tantra perspective on how we can truly maximize the power and strength of our consciousness and go beyond those robotic, unconscious life patterns that keep dictating how we should live and love.   Useful links: Chandresh's YouTube Channel Find Your Source of Happiness - 21 Day Challenge Private Guidance Program with Chandresh Buy the book - Break the Norms  Instagram: @cbmeditates About Chandresh: Chandresh Bhardwaj is a seventh generation tantra teacher, spiritual advisor, and speaker.

114. Live as a Consciousness. Not as a Human-Robot.

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.  This episode is about understanding how we need to handle our expectations. Whenever we feel angry, stressed out, or anxious, it is mostly when our expectations are not fulfilled. Those unfulfilled expectations turn into misery and anger. Meanwhile, the fulfilled expectations give us pleasure and happiness for a moment, but that is only for a moment. If you continue to live your life around expectations, you will never be satisfied. This episode is really a reminder of how we need to revisit our expectations because so much of what we crave for and see in our success and failure is really connected to our expectations. These expectations come from family conditioning, cultural conditioning, and when our mind starts to compare and calculate our journey based on what is happening outside. In the age of social media, expectations really start to dictate and dominate how you should live and that is where the misery shows up. We hope this episode brings you an awareness of what your expectations are and how they are dominating you.   Useful links: Chandresh's YouTube Channel Find Your Source of Happiness - 21 Day Challenge Private Guidance Program with Chandresh Buy the book - Break the Norms  Instagram: @cbmeditates About Chandresh: Chandresh Bhardwaj is a seventh generation tantra teacher, spiritual advisor, and speaker.

113. Let Go of Expectations

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.  In this episode, Chandresh discusses why masculinity is toxic, angry, or unconscious, and suppressed. He explains why anger seems to be the most common expression of men when they are going through a conflict, why it’s difficult for men to be vulnerable, in touch with their feelings, and why this problem is not addressed and seen in the most open way. Chandresh shares the tantra perspective on the suppressed masculinity and how the feminine and women have taken a revolutionary approach toward liberating themselves from conditioning. However, men are still slow in taking those steps because patriarchy has damaged the fragrance and foundation for both men and women. This episode is all about going deeper into how a man can go beyond their conditioning and invite a new awareness and strength for the new man that they need to be in these times. The man of this century is required to be vulnerable, poetic, mystic, emotional, spiritual, and a mix of all the seasons and elements. The anger, aggression, and possessiveness need to finally go away, and our hope is this episode will open a conversation and dialog in the heart of men to be receptive, open, and find their spiritual liberation.

112. Toxic Masculinity vs. Divine Masculinity

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.    This week’s episode is about how the ego glorifies things and makes something that is meaningless, our entire existence. This could be the job, getting the next material item, the unnecessary drama that we love sometimes, or the need to always win an argument. The list is countless, but the point is when the ego makes you think you need to win or be the first in the race, even though it’s a rat race, that makes you feel that everything revolves around you. The deeper you go in your awareness, you realize we do not matter and our silly ideas about success and failure do not matter. This is all a product of social and cultural conditions. In this episode, Chandresh shares this uncomfortable insight that so much of what we do is actually a meaningless, unconscious repetition of things and when we realize that none of that matters, then the real experience of life starts to wake up and expand through us. Then we realize that surrender, devotion, and liberation from this kind of conditioning matters and we have to get out of our own way to experience that.   Useful links: Chandresh's YouTube Channel Find Your Source of Happiness - 21 Day Challenge Private Guidance Program with Chandresh Buy the book - Break the Norms  Instagram: @cbmeditates About Chandresh: Chandresh Bhardwaj is a seventh generation tantra teacher, spiritual advisor, and speaker.

111. We Don’t Matter. And that’s Great News.

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.    In this episode, Chandresh shares how being in a meditative state is different from meditating. Most people put in the effort to meditate in the moment, but forget about what happens beyond the mat and meditation session. This episode is all about reflecting on how each of us handles everything within and around us both on and off the meditation mat. When you are showing up for meditation, you can recharge yourself. If you are not paying attention to how you handle and respond to life at other times, you might lose that recharged energy in the blink of a moment. It is very important to stay aware and witness all of the chaos, calmness, pain, and suffering that show up from awareness. This episode encourages everyone to make aware choices and to show up for their awareness 24/7.  Useful links: Chandresh's YouTube Channel Find Your Source of Happiness - 21 Day Challenge Private Guidance Program with Chandresh Buy the book - Break the Norms  Instagram: @cbmeditates About Chandresh: Chandresh Bhardwaj is a seventh generation tantra teacher, spiritual advisor, and speaker.

110. Meditating vs Staying Meditative

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.  In this episode, Chandresh shares what could happen when virtual reality and technological developments take over human intimacy. There are many devices and sex toys being developed right now that bring more pleasure, excitement, and help to eliminate the loneliness in human connections. Chandresh shares questions we may be thinking if technology takes over intimacy. For example, what will define consent or cheating? What would be the state of aloneness and mental health as the robots and sex toys start to take over human companionship? Above all, what happens to the sacredness in the act of sex, and the healing that happens when we speak and connect with a human. Intimacy goes way beyond the physical connection and is a deeper experience. The bright side is if you handle the present state of your intimacy, then the future of intimacy will be bright and fine for you. If your present connection with intimacy is blurry and uncertain, then this will translate into the future as well. We hope this episode allows people to reflect on the tough questions that they need to meditate on right now so they can handle their future better with the technology that is taking over intimacy.

109. The Future of Intimacy and Relationships

Conscious texting with CB on +1310-361-5485 available to seekers in the USA and Canada only.  In present time silence is often associated with the idea of suppression, weakness, or some sort of bypassing of important emotions. However, silence has always played an important role in the tantra traditions and in the different paths of meditation. Silence here does not mean suppression or bypassing something. Instead, it is a really powerful bridge and pathway toward experiencing, obtaining, and cultivating self-realization. In this episode, Chandresh shares a lot of simple and deep teachings on silence. Through tantra, we can see that something as simple as silence is taught in the twelve steps of silence and the ancient wisdom traditions because although it looks simple, there is a science behind the silence. If you learn this the right way, it can open up some extremely powerful doors toward your healing and self-realization. We hope this episode resonates with you and helps you.   Have any questions or curiosities about your spiritual journey?
