Unshackle yourself from limiting patterns and start making conscious choices in your life.
It's common to go through life on autopilot, dealing with daily problems, past traumas, and mundane routines, to the point that we sometimes forget to truly live in the moment and experience life to the fullest.
We need to learn how to be more conscious, and fortunately, when we're on a spiritual path, we have numerous practices to choose from that can help us in this regard.
In this episode, we have the pleasure of hosting the incredibly talented Rita Burgos. Not only is she a Doctor of Ayurveda and Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, but she's also a Pancha Karma Specialist, Yoga Nidra Teacher Trainer, and Body/Mind Counselor.
If you're not yet familiar with Rita, at just four years old, she had to leave everything behind when she emigrated from the Philippines to the United States. This experience left a deep wound in her heart that she eventually healed as an adult, leading her to discover her true purpose.
Unlock the power of consciousness and elevate your life! Join us in this awe-inspiring episode as we explore the transformative practice of Yoga Nidra and uncover its secrets for living a more fulfilling life.
