Let Me Be Frank

Are you ignoring the whispers of your heart? In this episode, Dr Khalsa challenges you to deeply reflect and take time to: (1) invest in rest,(2) to value rest as the best investment you will ever make,(3) listen to the whispers of your heart,(4) radically reimagine this world as operating on the same physiologic principles as the human heart,(5) investigate three critical lines of inquiry to excavating your major barriers to rest, and(6) offers pragmatic advice on what to do the next time you are feeling triggered. The episode highlights the words of two exceptional scholars: Arundhati Roy and <a href="https://jaiyajohn.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr Jaiya John</a>. The original date of this episode's release aligns with Women's History Month and the eve of the United Nations' International Women's Day.

Are you ignoring the whispers of your heart?

In this comeback episode, Dr Tej Khalsa MD MSc FRCPC discusses the legacy of George Floyd as a call to awaken our collective dreams. Khalsa shares why sometimes stopping is the best way to start, and how the power of pause expands our capacity to come more fully alive. Khalsa explains how her daily “Last Breath Practice” is inspired by the daily meditative practice of two American giants - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s daily “personal commitment” and Congressman John Lewis’ daily “executive session with myself.” Listeners are encouraged to establish their own evening meditation practice - a “Last Breath Practice”, reflecting on their higher meaning and greater purpose. Khalsa also pays tribute to bell hooks as a guide to radically imagining what is possible for humanity.
