We discussed: The meaning of Paramatma and divinity within the individual soul Teaching through lecture versus personal sharing—and why lived experience matters Reflections from the Bhakti Yoga Conference Whether there is a “right” way to do therapy: client-led process versus therapist agenda Join the Happy Jack Yoga community: 📚 30 Day Free Trial  🧘‍♀️ 200-Hour Teacher Training 🎙 Be part of the podcast live on Zoom – Tuesdays 🌱 Mentorship with Happy Jack 💗 Book a therapeutic session with Hanna - use code THERAPY50 before Feb 9

We discussed: How we project inner struggles onto the people closest to us Using suffering as a vehicle for growth  Why “seekers” are drawn to the yogic path Creating connection: what motivates it, and how our past shapes what we build Time as currency (inspired by Keith Cunningham) and choosing how we spend it wisely Join the Happy Jack Yoga community: 📚 30 Day Free Trial  🧘‍♀️ 200-Hour Teacher Training 🎙 Be part of the podcast live on Zoom – Tuesdays 🌱 Mentorship with Happy Jack 💗 Book a therapeutic session with Hanna
