Yesterday, I found myself shouting at my elderly mother. Immediately afterwards, I found myself writhing in sadness. While it is natural to express anger at those we love, it is important to do the inner dive and assess what is still to be healed witihin us. Family members are the best instrument to work throuh the abyss of fears, anger, and other dark emotions. Every angry, wrathful, violent thought and/or negative response we endure can be traced to the cellular memories we carry within our genetic composition which had been sculpted by familial bloodlines. Ancestral memories mold our relationship to the world and can control our responses and behavior unless we bring awareness to them. The ancestors can be both the source of the hardship and the remedy. Each time we allow a challenge to push our buttons, we push deeper into the murk of ancestral chasm.
With ancestral awareness, we can choose a dharmic response or make a humane choice when faced with challenges. In this way, we transcend the ancestral ground of negative experiences. We win, we grow, we morph into our humanity and elevate both ourselves and the ancestral spirits. We need their cosmic protection!Let’s enjoin heart across Mother Earth to awaken ancestral awareness. Here are three very simple practices you can do to cull and strengthen ancestral awareness.
REMEMBRANCE: Set up a small altar in your home
NOURISHMENT: Offer a small portion of vegetarian food to ancestors
AWARENESS: Bring awareness to negative responses rooted in familial anger, rage, angst, guilt.

My heart reaches out to the millions of displaced citizens in our struggling world, and to the thousands of families in my long years' home and hearth in Asheville, North Carolina who are suffering from the wrath of Hurrricane Helene. Aminsa- where there is no otherness, only the loving act of mutual kindness- is more needed now than ever. May we remeber the sancitity of Earth, her food and water, from which our mins and bodies are created.
A Vedic prayer from Rig Veda for the Sacred Water:
ईशाना वार्याणां क्षयन्तीश्चर्षणीनाम् ।
अपो याचामि भेषजम् ॥५॥
O Water, may the auspicious divinity which is desired be present in you when we drink (water).
May the auspiciousness which supports you, flow to us.Support the show

Remember that you grand, and complex and exquisitely formed from the musical cords of memory, that your grestest relationship is with the universe, the magnificent cosmos within. Cosmic Sound gave birth to the universe. We are born with music and dance inscribed in every cell of our being. The human memory field is stupendous is engendered from sound vibration. Our Cosmic birth is transformed and sustained by the force of the five elements -Akasha, Space - being the most subtle of the elements and the infinite container in which we are continually replenishes intelligence.
We are imbued with cosmic memory formed from the very beginning of time. Every cell, atom in our body is sustained, nourished and calibrated by the vibration of these vibrational memories. We are endowed with a set of imprints that support our physical, emotional and spiritual anatomy- which is being automatically upgraded and refined by the cosmic sound. We experience, move and throb with the creation through both individually and collectively through cosmic memory. In this way, every exoeriencing is a form of remembering.Support the show

Prana- The power of breath, supported by many thousands of conduits from the cosmos. At this powerful time of human isolation, let us remember one of our most potent inner medicines which we may simply call upon to heal and be stronger, the power of breath. Prana controls the breath of the planetary heart. The fantastic rise of heart-related diseases and other health impairments are due, in part, to the dysfunction of bodily prana. When breath suffers, sadness prevails. This eternal breath moves the entire universe. Imagine the earth spinning in her galactic dance with other planets in the cosmos. What a gorgeous feat it is to observe prana. The breath of the planet is the source of vitalization and renewal. When this layer of energy is sickened, the earth and her inhabitants exude fear, pain, tremors, and spasms.
Pranayama, the practice of breathing in harmony with universal rhythms was handed down by the world’s oldest known cosmic physicists, scientists - the Vedic seers of the Hindu Tradition. This knowledge of prana, along with numerous breath practices can help us to seal health and keep us in harmony with our universe.Go ahead...breathe consciously and leisurely, spend the next few minutes feeling the harmonic resonance you are creating wihin and without.

In this time of the divisive otherness when wars, hatred, violence and disasters erupt around the world, we are reminded that demonstrating kindness is the most effective path to healing rift, grievances, and despair. During these times, when we are overpowered by these conditions which may appear omni-present in our personal world, we are called to remember our nature of kindness. . Kindness is an innate part of human nature. We do not have to reach deep to find it. It is ever-generating, ever present. Kindness and Love are not emotions, these are attributes which are deeply configured into the DNA of our tissues and memory. These innate elements are always in the undercurrent of our lives waiting to rise to our rescue. Often, we suppress this nature through fears, preoccupation or distractions stemming from painful, difficult and disruptive occasions that are unfolding in our lives.

A Guru. The simple, pure form of the soul born to selfless search and service of the "I", The Self that is "Tat Tvam Asi" = "I am that illimitable consciousness". Across the vast swatch of nature, we are surrounded by the bliss of the Guru each and every moment. Each and every part of nature is a Guru, Mother Earth is a humungous Guru, each tree a teacher, each drop of water a devotee saint, every breath of air, a refreshing master. Nature's seed sovereignty is a ruling Guru without whose sacrificial participation we starve to death.
Did you know that every vulgar, vile, violent experience is a “Saturnal “ Guru, learning by the lash of the whip. However, arduous and bitter the lessons are these experiences remain our teaching curves. Our perennial Gurus. When first I wrote these words, my lessons from the vicious experience of being targeted by well-organized hate- driven bullies were still maneagable. It is twelve years later and myprivacy and human freedom are still at the mercy of unimagineable
intrusions, and violence against my physical beingness and work. Yet, these words of wisdom rise to serve me, to keep me sentient, to remind me that love is inscribed as a cellular memory in each and everyone of us, including the haters and misinformed. And it is this memory that we must lean on to carry us through to the light. When in evolution a human Guru takes birth, their paths are often riddled with sharpness, surrounded by the ignorance of the world, by biases, jealousies of those they serve, marginalization, ridicule and , in many cases, castration by violence and other vile acts against them.
In the popular world culture we are continually striving to seek the wisdom of the ancients, but we have to be sufficiently reconciled to our self-worth to be prepared to seek Self-knowledge. We want to learn from the master, the Guru but, for many, because we are so spiritually starved from the loss of self-sovereignty, we continually find ways to undermine the elder, disavow the lessons thrown in our path, oftentimes because we forget that the greatest Guru is the inner Guru.

During this time of global chaos, dysfunction, political, emotinal and planetary struggles each one of us may be challenged to find a dynamic sense of balance. Maya points to the Vedic way of understanding to show how brilliant our human anatomy truly is: that we have hidden treasures that we need to mine in order to arouse stamina, and reach our core strengths. She recommends the simple practice of Nitya Karma ~ the attitude of self-surrendering. Maya explores the simple, brilliant process of this surrender~ Listen In

We live in a country where there are more guns than citizens. 433 million registered guns in the USA. The culture of violence has become the norm.
The false values of corruption, Competion, rivalry, unkindness, ignornace and inhumanity are on the rise. The only way we can turn this tide around is through shifting our individual sense of value and esteem to Ahimsa- the timeless value of being a human being. Choosing to live in Ahimsa means choosing non violence, non-injury, and doing the work to cultivating inner harmony. Exposing or revealing dark thoughts, dark words, violent actions we give ourselves permission to open to healing our inner angst when we use these dark moments to shift our thinking, belief system away from the Otherness the binary, the duality is us/them that creates so much pain. For thirty five years Maya Tiwari has been teaching the inviolate work of awareness through the way of Ahimsa. Maya has personally helped thousands to heal, and continue with her own courageous journey as she muses about "ahimsa" from a very personal point of view. Through the Peace Mandala World Tours she has guided more than one million people in the Vow of Ahimsa.

Mother Earth blesses us with a trillion natural medicines. in the ongoing reality of viruses, and contaminations, and environmental diseases, despair, and disasters it is high time we take back our human authority and integrity from the pharmaceutical agglomerates and their power driven race to profit from human disease and despair in the last century. This is our golden opportunity to take back our rightful reigns in reclaiming indigenous, native systems of medicine- so that, once again, we can heal, nourish ourselves, each other and Mother Nature.

To parrot Frederich Nietzche, when we stare into the abyss for too long, the abyss stares back at us. I have found myself staring into the abyss, perambulating its event horizon until my feet fell out, and my mind became blurred. The abyss staring back at me. Anger is necessary, it is a helpful way to vent, shout and scream out our rgae, discomfort, and tear out the injustice of it all. But anger has two faces; positive and negative. When we hang onto it, righeously or otherwise, for too long, it boomerangs with the same force of its output. Be aware. Never, never allow anger to fester for too long. Allow it to change and morph by shedding light to it, "my persceptive may be askew"; "I am not able to see the whole truth of it", " I am tired and need to step back from it.".... many lanterns are there to help shed awareness. And this gives the neccessary repreive to dissolve the intensity and one pointed dagger of anger.
As you may know from my work of Honoring Ancestors, evert angry, wrathful, violent thought and/or negative response we have ever issued can be traced to the cellular memories we carry within our genetic composition which had been sculpted by familial bloodlines. Ancestral memories mold our relationship to the world and can control our responses and behavior unless we bring awareness to them. The ancestors can be both the source of the hardship and the remedy. Each time we allow a challenge to push our buttons, we push deeper into the murk of ancestral chasm.
With ancestral awareness, and contInually bringing light to our angst, rage, worry, discomfort, we tend to make a more humane choice when faced with challenges. In this way, we transcend the ancestral ground of negative angst. We we grow, we morph into our humanity, always an uncomftable terrain. But, in so doing, we can elevate both ourselves and the ancestral spirits. Peace Be Your Journey!Support the show

This illusive, sought after thing is not an illusion. It is tge ever flowing vibration beneath the grime, crime, and slime of living. It is immutable energy always present always accessible, if we learn how to stay open to it. Happiness is not what we think it is. It is not to be found in the state of the mind. It is not a goal to be pursued.
Like desires, it arises from the depth of our past impressions stored within the cognition over many rebirths. We can no more control desires than we can control happiness. It is ever-flowing, generated by the unconditional desire to be happy. Happiness blossoms when we understand our nature is happiness.
Amid the dankness and chaos of our individual world and the world at large, we find ourselves hard-pressed to eke out the space and time necessary to pause, to breathe into the inner sanctum where the immortal happiness lives. But, this we must do- day after day, regardless and because of. Our primordial nature is happiness, our nature is the pure desire for freedom, liberation form the endless cycles . Ultimately, it is the character of our happiness that forges the way to freedom and consciousness.Support the show

Ode to Flaco- magical, mystical citizen of NYC
Partial Transcript-
Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl, beloved citizen of NYC died sometime early Friday morning, on Feb 23rd.
The snow moon has just risen in the eerie early morning. The researchers from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation traced two unique lunar communication behaviors of the Eurasian Eagle Owl during each of the major phase of the moon: vocal communication and visual communication. During the full moon the Eurasian Eagle Owl is turned on by moonlight. The brighter the moon, the more frequent the calls. But along with the owls' vocalizations is the moon’s affect on the owls’ visual communication.The study is one of the few that have looked at intraspecies communication of nocturnal birds and the findings provide further evidence lunar cycles affect the behaviors of animal species.
I choose to think that this celibate, monk-like bird was responding to his palpitating heart for his beloved owl mate. eagle owls communicate similarly at dusk and at dawn to when the moon is full, and suggest that this is because the amount of ambient light at dusk and dawn are about the same as a moonlit night.... shedding the aura of romantic hues this majestic creature was longing for the company of his mate. Eagle owls have white patches of soft feathers under their beaks that they show only when vocalizing. So, as the moon gets brighter, and the eagle owls are calling to their mates more frequently, so do these owls climb to higher perches where they can be more easily spotted. A grand freedom year to date, the Moon brilliantly relecting in the high perches of glass windows, Flaco obeying his avian instinct must have flown into his own reflection made bright by the vision of moon. He reached not the open skies, nor the enbrace of his beloved girl-owl but a crushing barbarism, crashing to his death. His spirit released, he is soaring in the high ethers alongside his proud ancestors, and perhaps there his spirit has already enjoined his beloved mate.
His radical journey from captivity at the Central Part Zoo - from the time he was a fledgeling 13 years ago, to his absolute freedom on the historic day of Feb 2, 2023 when his cage was cut open, demands our reverential awe. Falco took his maiden flight to freedom and was never captured again until he laid down, body vanquished, spirit risen on the cold concrete slab at 89St on CPW. Flaco's momentous act of freedom has split open each one of our hearts. Owls are known to never follow the herd, they live independently, cherishing their own company, the ooutlier of the avian species.
The freedom seeker, Flaco is a magical, mystical New York story. He is helping every disciples to reveal our own back story. Like every act of martyrdom in deeply troubled times, Flaco's plunge to certain death instills a reverence for the lifeforce, diminishing the fears we carry around toxic urban disease, death and dying. My own story swelled up inside my throat. I grew up in Greenwich Village; left the city to build my non profit school in the wilderness of North Carolina, acres of Cherokee forest where I could seed my Ayurveda gardens. But I kept returning to the city, to that imperishable creative vortex force where the spirit of its citizens is held in abeyance. After twenty years, the tide of harmony had turned in my forest. Barbarism against my person, as spiritual person, a woman of colour, a successful woman, a woman of Hindu origins, a woman of robes, escalated, targeted as I were by the brutal network of the many tentacled patriarchs. So just a few months ago I decided to close my operations in NC and returned to my home base in the city, largely because I heard and empatized wiSupport the show

Maya explores the way Sanskrit chants, pilgrimages and other awe-inspiring practices of Nature heighten the natural scalar waves responsible for cohesion and wellness in the body. The way science views the pilgrim’s experience can be said, as follows: Scalar waves generated in the body provide an energetic communication system that connects all cells. This energy contains the power of the universe and has unlimited potential. All pilgrimages heighten our inner resource of positive vibrations within the body. Positive mental attitude is communicated through the scalar field generated by thousands of möbius coils at the cellular level and can effect the cell’s mode of growth or protection. Scientists have created scalar wave generators for therapeutic purposes and have confirmed that a scalar field can create a twenty-fold stimulation of cell growth in human immune system cells.
This heightened vibration was evident as my colleague and I journeyed along the magnificent southern plains flowing in tandem with the Kauveri River, a few years ago. I noticed how faithfully the river led, guided, and blessed us as we crisscrossed her boundaries. On this seamless serpentine route, rural women soaked fully clad in her abundance; they washed clothing by beating them on rock surfaces whilst children playing, splashed about in the water; white egrets stood on royal guard in tall grasses of the bordering marshland - protecting the sublime energy of wholeness in these raw, bare-chested villages. The scalar waves' energy was naturally heightened during this pilgrimage North and South in India. The feeling of awesome wellness pervaded.

Today, I received the shocking news about an old friend. She is an elderly mother who was evicted from her home by her one and only son and daughter-in-law. At every turn of life, we can come face to face with bitter lessons, and the hearless actions of those who facilitate them. During these times, it seems equally heartless to console the aggrevieved with words like, " remember the good days you shared, remember to keep your heart consoled by being grateful for the multitude of good things in your life, and not focus exclusiviley on the bitterness of the day."
This too may seem like cruel advice given the tired moment while despairing.
But....the way to healing all suffering is through remembering gratitude. It is easy to be grateful for the kindness shown to us, for gifts of friends and joyful occasions. But in the most important juncture of our lives, when the darkness of despair can shroud hearts and souls, or during the lonely hours of despair, disillusionment, and/or disease when hope wanes, and support appears to be non-existent, and kindness cannot be felt, all is not lost: We have the way of gratitude to turn to, a conduit that for millions of years have been the proven way to recapture inner space, to stretch open the amity of our innate awareness, to lighten the burdens of the heart and to simply connect back to a universe that can never forsake us........a beautiful exposition by the one and only, Maya Tiwari, on the power of gratitude during the darkest of days.Support the show

A worthy rerun of this awesome episode:
Although we may strive for hapiness in our lives, it often appears illusive.... but happiness is not a chase or a hunt, it is a primoridial longing in tge very cell and memory of our vital tissues. It is to be seized from moment to moment. Becuae it is generally wrapped in the mundane , in routines, in events we take for granted. Listen to the melody of the winds brushing against space, or the drops of water filtering into a pond, or the beauty of a grazing herd of deer, or meeting and reveling in the company of old friendships. Mother Nature provides us endless excursions of happiness if we listen to and feel her song, and most importantly, cherish it.Support the show

We are formed from the universal cosmic sound. The Vedic seers refer to this Sound as "OM". This sounds incorporates all sounds. There are trillions of sounds which are endemic to our cosmos that heals. Every cell, memory and tissue is formed from the cosmic sound. Sound Medicine is our natural inner medicine, free and abundantly available in nature. Indeed, sound is central to the very act of creation. Vedic lore tells us that Goddess Durga rode her lion, carried her damaru (a small, double-headed drum whose sound is associated with the element of space), and drummed the world into existence. Sound, as healing force, is a cornerstone of all the great spirit traditions. Consider the idea that life itself emanates from sound, for what is sound but audible breath, the rhythm and melody of the One spirit that dwells within all things? Sound vibration is a manifestation of life energy, and that life energy, or prana, is the basis for self-healing.

At this pivotal time in human consciousness evolution, at the third year milestone of COVID-19, the most important practice we can do is neither physical/emotional, or financial. It is the selfless practice of prayer – spiritual service that helps to restore ancestral memory so that we may heal the long ignored rift with the spirit world. In this way we can begin to heal ourselves and Mother Nature.

We are forever healing. We heal into life. We heal into living and into death. We feel divided not because of our differences but because we do not support or allow each other the powerful diversity that manifests within each one of us. Our gender and biological sex is a potent example of this view. Gender differences is but one minute factor in the quintillion variety of nature’s majestic realm mirrored within the human person. To heal and reclaim wholeness, it is critical that we embrace the reality of Shiva-Shakti - and note the brilliant multiplicity of energy which courses within and through each and every human person. This primeval force goes way beyond gender binary to the infinite.

At every moment we can be rejuvenated by nature's sunds, music, the whistling of the wind, the plopping sound of the rains, the gushing waters, the hushed leaves of the autumn. In my years as a Vedic monk, chanting the Sanskrit mantras on a daily basis kept my vibratory field high and illumined. During those years, I lived in a large pristine forest, chanted with cows, meditated with deer and basked in the gift of Nature's inner medicine sound healing. Years later, I was to face the profound experience of being targeted with violence and abuse that relentlessly escorted my life for more than a decade. In this episode I speak to my own expereinces of fears, its impact of devastating gravitational pull to the lower vortex of darkness and loss and the phenomenal healing journey of high vibrational sound that reawakened me to life. May we always remember our blessings even through the dark gravitational pull of fear. Listen In~
