Svādhyāya, Eric Carmen and a Sunbeam of a Human

I recently met someone who asked me to define my spirituality. What is Svādhyāya and are you making time for it? In this episode I’m reflecting on what ‘spirituality’ is, how to grow and learn about the self in a non-obsessive way and why I think Eric Carmen has an important lesson for us in allowing for expansive moments in class. Enjoy! If you value this show, please do consider supporting my work on Patreon. It’s just $5 AUD a month and it makes a big difference to me.
