Break Free of Societal Expectations

If you’re going through a spiritual awakening, you’re likely the one in your family that’s being called to heal generational trauma.
 
If you feel like you never have a moment of peace, you’re constantly on the defensive and you’re stuck in a dark tunnel with no way out (no matter what you do), you’re doing it all wrong.
 
The spiritual journey is not about running from or fighting the world outside you.
 
It’s about sitting with your internal world.
 
Yes, you will absolutely run into obstacles and challenges, but those obstacles will be inside you.
 
Maybe someone is bullying you and constantly putting you down so you can heal whatever trauma you have around speaking up and learn how to trust yourself and your own path.
 
Maybe your finances are tight because you need to spend a period of time in one place, healing yourself and your relationships at home.
 
Maybe you missed your flight because wherever it was taking you promised ease and peace but would’ve taken you down the wrong path and brought years of suffering.
 
You’re not meant to fight an uphill battle here.
 
You’re meant to slow down and go inward.
 
All of the demons you’re facing are reflections of your own demons inside and the more you run from them, the stronger and more persistent the resistance will become.
 
You’re not meant to run and struggle against the world.
 
You’re meant to slow down, take a breath and tune in to your inner voice.
 
That voice will guide you down the path you were always meant to take.

You were never meant to make everyone see the light, you were meant to become the light and give them no choice but to see it.
 
Follow for tools and resources to make your spiritual journey effortless.

As a spiritual seeker and a serious sadhak, I left my 9-5 years ago to become a yoga and meditation teacher and here are some things I don’t like to talk about.
 
Not because they’re not completely normal things, but because I kinda judge myself for them:
 
🫣 I quit my job in 2018 - I’ve been out of the system for 7 years now and I still doubt if I’m on the right path. Sometimes I want to shut everything down and just get a job again.
 
🫣 I still get upset and argue with my family about little things.
 
🫣 Sometimes, I avoid social situations because it takes a lot of energy to make small talk with everyone and I just don’t want to do it.
 
🫣 I still get anxious and worry if new students will like my classes and teaching style even though I’ve been teaching for 5 years and have almost always been able to get my students to relax so much that they meditate effortlessly for 10 full minutes at the end of class.
 
🫣 I know certain foods (like chai, coffee and chocolate) are stimulants and disrupt my practice but I still love them.
 
Crazy right?

“You just have to take that first step otherwise you will always be stuck.”

Using my signature AIRP Method, Ryan gained clarity, realized how much power he had to make a difference in his life, and found a direction to walk in.

Here are the specifics:

A – Awareness

The first step is Awareness and this is 2-fold.

Most of the time, things come up and we’re engulfed by them: Anger rises and we become that anger. We’re not able to respond to situations because we’re too busy reacting to them.

By raising your awareness, you’ll be able to step back enough to be able to observe the things that are holding you back.

With heightened awareness, you become aware of your triggers, behaviours and limiting thought patterns.

I – Inquiry

The next step in Inquiry.

In step 1, we become aware of what’s happening on the surface level that’s holding you back. Here we dive deeper on those triggers to get to the root of them.

Yoga is a holistic practice where we treat the root cause of an issue rather than the symptoms. That’s exactly what we’re doing here – diving down to the root of our blockages.

R – Release

Naturally, the third step is Release.

Using ancient practices (and a little bit of grace), we nip sorrow at the bud – i.e. we release the root cause of our blockages through yoga, breath work and meditation.

That’s what you see happening in the text messages sent by Ryan above. We’re releasing a deep-rooted stress.

P – Progress

Once you have cleared your inner space, you’ve created space for life to move forward.

In this step, we take actions aligned with your goals to make sure you’re using all that newfound space in your life to move in the direction of your dreams and goals.

This is what you see in the blue messages above where Ryan took the leap of faith and went for his goals.

Tomorrow, I’m hosting a free webinar where you can learn more about this process and what it takes to overcome limiting beliefs and find purpose, peace of mind and deeper meaning in life.
