S2 EP 27. Raj Jana: Exploring The Roots Of Self-Abandonment

13 February 2024 by Raj Jana

We all have parts of ourselves that consciously or unconsciously undermine our own wellbeing and dreams. But what causes this self-sabotaging tendency? Where does that inner voice dismissing our needs come from?

On this month’s reflection episode of Stay Grounded, Raj takes a stab at answering these questions from his own lived experiences. Amidst pivotal healing work and relationship mirrors, Raj gains profound clarity on childhood origins of his own self-abandonment patterns.

Tune in now to learn:

Why our closest relationships often reveal our deepest triggers needing release
The subtle childhood “trauma” that started Raj’s pattern of self-abandonment
The steps Raj is taking to clear himself of unhealthy attachment dynamics
How to reframe disappointments as helpful redirects on your soul’s unique path
Why surrendering control is required to experience the life you actually want

Raj offers an inside look at his emotional process – from uprooting energetic parasites from his system to gaining self-awareness around dynamics with loved ones that conditioned him to put the needs of others before his own. If you resonate with feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns of self-abandonment, Raj’s story will inspire deeper trust in the artful unfolding of life through a commitment to the inner work.

S2 EP 25. Angie Netterville: Using Cancer As A Catalyst For Change

23 January 2024 by Raj Jana

In this week’s episode of Stay Grounded, Raj interviews a cancer thriver who recently completed Liber8’s Precision Emotional Healing for Cancer program.

If you or someone you love has been impacted by cancer, you know the immense physical, mental, and emotional toll it can take. While essential, standard medical treatments are simply not enough. Angie’s story beautifully illustrates how holistically supporting mental and emotional health can profoundly improve quality of life and health outcomes.

In the Precision Emotional Healing for Cancer program, participants like Angie undergo a proprietary mapping process to pinpoint core wounds and hidden stressors that may be sabotaging health and wellbeing. They receive tailored support and practices to process old pain, build self-worth, and move forward with more resilience and joy.

A few things discussed on this episode:

– Angie was first diagnosed with a rare blood cancer (hairy cell leukemia) at age 41, then had two additional recurrences. Her cancer journey has been stressful and emotionally difficult.

– She intuitively felt stress played a major role and tried various things like meditation and therapy to relieve it, but still felt overwhelmed.

– Angie joined Liber8’s Precision Emotional Healing for Cancer program after seeing Raj in a video. She intuitively trusted that this program could help support her recovery.

– Through the 3 month program, Angie gained profound insight into core wounds and pain points sabotaging her health. We discuss her tailored program for building self-worth, confidence to trust her intuition, and the ability to handle challenges with more ease and humor.

The transformations the Liber8 program facilitates for cancer patients are remarkable – improved labs and scans, healed relationships, enhanced energy, purpose and zest for life. Angie described emerging with greater confidence, intuition, and excitement to pursue her soul’s calling of serving others impacted by cancer.

If you found Angie’s experience relatable and inspiring, visit www.liber8.health/cancer to learn more about this innovative program and upcoming cohort dates. Investing in emotional healing and empowerment could be one of the most meaningful gifts you give yourself or a loved one on the cancer journey.

S2 EP5 Dr. Alec Verkuilen Brogan: Remembering Your Infinite Nature

5 September 2023 by Raj Jana

This week’s very special guest is my brother Dr. Alec Verkuilen-Brogan.

Dr. Alec is a professor of spiritual anatomy at Naropa University in Boulder, CO, focused on studying the beauty of the subtle body. He is a traditionally trained network chiropractor who brings this knowledge into the Vedic tradition to support deep transformation of consciousness.

Dr. Alec is also the founder of Geometry of Grace, a modern metaphysical framework that uses sacred systems like astrology, Tarot, and Human Design as maps and mirrors for awakening. The geometry of grace paradigm guides people to tune into their unique nature and align with grace.

Through his study of Jyotish, Human Design, and 15+ years spent apprenticing under his root teacher Sadhguru, Dr. Alec’s work offers a map of the territory that must be traversed on the journey to remembering one’s infinite nature. His fascination with the spine inspires people to dive deep into their own spiritual anatomy.

In this wide-ranging discussion, we discuss:

Moving beyond separateness to recognize the oneness of all life
Honoring your unique human design and inner authority
Facing down limitations and illusions to relinquish what is not real
The role of devotion, prayer, and mysticism in staying grounded
Why life gets more mysterious as we awaken to truth

With decades of experience guiding others to self-realization, Dr. Alec offers rare insights into the spiritual process of burning away all that is untrue to uncover one’s infinite essence. I hope you enjoy listening to this beautiful conversation.

EP 258. Panache Desai: Unraveling The Truth Of Who You Are

21 November 2022 by Raj Jana

The last time I was with Panache was right before the COVID lockdowns. The time I spent with him as he launched his book, You Are Enough – Revealing the Soul to Discover Your Power, Potential, and Possibility, changed my life profoundly. Thanks to his spiritual wisdom and loving support, he inspired the courage to look at the parts of myself I was afraid to look at and dive deeper into my own spiritual journey.

Panache Desai is a visionary thought leader and a life catalyst in the area of human development. This incredible human has appeared on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, he’s collaborated with Deepak Chopra and has worked with everyone from Neale Donald Walsh to Joe Dispenza, Brian Weiss, Ram Dass, James Redfield, and other luminaries in the fields of spiritual and personal development.

When Panache called me out of the blue a few months back and proposed we record another episode together, I said yes in a heartbeat. And after we finished recording the episode, I knew why he called. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. His perspectives were the messages I needed to hear. It was a reminder of infinite possibilities and to trust in a greater unfolding. It was a reminder to surrender deeply into the flow of life and create from a space of deep knowing.

This conversation is almost 1.5 hours long (twice the length of our normal episodes) and FULL of gold. I hope you guys enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did recording it.

Key takeaways:

Discovering the truth of who you are.
Do we really have free will.
Why choice itself is an illusion.
Learning to value yourself.
Why we’re so obsessed with personal growth.
Why rejection leads to self-censoring.
If you don’t like something in someone else, resolve it in yourself.
Through acceptance, we can become aware of ourselves.
How self-awareness creates space for trauma to rise and release.
The hierarchy of consciousness.
Why awareness equates to freedom.
Why freedom & liberation is the North Star.
Understanding the root of suffering.
Why comparison is impossible.
