The Sacred Giggle

It's been a while, my dear listeners, but today I felt sufficiently cracked open to share why I have been quiet for the past 9 months with my podcast and with sharing my insights online generally. A brief chat about insecure attachment, how it manifests as depression and disengagement / hiding from life, and how we can digest it as a beautiful spiritual gift. Sending love Aasheesh

Josh Stark is an entrepreneur, clothing designer, health expert, biohacking wiz and a true soul brother who I feel honored to walk alongside on the spiritual path. He is the definition of a self-led creator, evidenced by the organic growth of his conscious clothing brand Lower Beast Side, which creates some of the comfiest tee shirts (amongst other epic threads) that I've ever had the privilege of wearing. Josh is also an inspiration to me when it comes to all things health, nutrition, fitness and lifestyle - he is a diligent student of the field and is constantly refining his living routines to optimize for his best mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. I've learned a ton about life and how to live it more holistically from Josh, and in this conversation we chop it up and share a ton of wisdom on how to be more conscious men, humans, creatives and entrepreneurs.

Kyle Lipton literally embodies "The Sacred Giggle." He is equal parts hilarious and wise, and this conversation was full of laughs and insights. Kyle is a comedian, transformational psychic and content creator who uses his natural gifts of comedy and awareness to help people transform their lives. We met here in Lisbon, Portugal in a very synchronistic way, and immediately hit it off. What I admire most about Kyle is his courage to forge his own path as a heart-centered, service-oriented creator. He is truly blazing his own trail, and as a fellow creative I deeply appreciate his trust in his own excitement and instincts as the ultimate guide in his life. In this conversation we talk about what it means to truly forge your own path, Kyle's definition of abundance (which blew my mind), trusting reality, and why it's okay - and even necessary - to not know your purpose ... so that it can reveal itself to you in the space of that not knowing.

JOIN The Creative Sangha today: https://www.patreon.com/TheCreativeSangha Today I am beyond excited to share the launch of my brand new membership community for artists and creatives: The Creative Sangha. "Sangha" is the Sanskrit word for "community" - a place where like minded souls can gather to support one another in a common purpose. Here, that purpose is free creative expression. I believe every human being has a unique creative gift that only they can bring forth. However, so many artists feel blocked to share these gifts out of fear of being rejected, abandoned or ridiculed. This Sangha provides education, tools and resources to help artists heal the limiting beliefs and negative emotional patterns that are holding us back from sharing our unique gifts with the world. It is a safe space for artists to create and share their work with a group of supportive collaborators. Together, we provide each other encouragement and accountability to keep walking the creative path. Monthly Group Calls Each month, we gather and explore how to heal the limiting beliefs and negative emotional patterns that keep us from creating and sharing our work. This is based on the three pillar approach I use with my private coaching clients... 1. Inner Child Healing (Cleaning Up) Education on attachment theory, how to build more self-esteem and confidence, and group guided inner child visualizations. 2. Meditation (Waking Up) Guided meditations and step-by-step instructions on how to meditate to become more aware of your emotional and thinking patterns, and how to replace negative patterns with positive ones. Additionally, I will give you tips and strategies for how to build your own daily meditation practice, based on my 3000+ hours of experience with meditation and 40+ days in silent retreat. 3. Taking Creative Action, Sharing & Feedback (Showing Up) As creatives, it’s important to be acknowledged and encouraged for the work that we do. This is a monthly opportunity to share your work and bask in the love of a supportive community. Feedback is only given if asked for. If you don’t have anything to share or don’t feel like sharing, no worries. Come anyways and get inspired by what your fellow community members are creating. This is also where I’ll be sharing my musical works in progress, before the rest of the world gets to hear them. At the end of each call, we will have Q&A and will take a poll of what to cover during future coaching calls. This is not an online course with an end date, after which the excitement fades and the accountability drops again. This is an ongoing relationship with ourselves and the creations that we are here to bring into existence, which we will cultivate together. If you're ready to walk the creative path together, join The Creative Sangha today at the link below: https://www.patreon.com/TheCreativeSangha Sending love, ShiShi "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you."

This conversation with George Haas is one of the most important talks we've had so far on the show. George is an artist, writer, photographer, meditation teacher and the founder of Metta Group, a company focused on helping individuals heal attachment disturbances through a three pillar approach of Inner Chid work, Metta-Vipassana Meditation and education on secure functioning. He has also been my meditation teacher, therapist and mentor for the past 9 months. The specific kind of inner child work we discuss in this conversation is a revolutionary new modality called The Ideal Parent Figure protocol, and it's based on western psychotherapeutic research and Tibetan Buddhist practices. It was created by the late great Dr. Daniel P. Brown, who was a Psychologist at Harvard University and a Tibetan Buddhist Master who served as a personal student of the Dalai Lama. I was lucky enough to work with Dan for two years before his death, and he also mentored George as his protégé. George is now carrying the baton, helping people all over the world repair insecure attachment and build real self-esteem. If you follow my content, you know how much I talk about the importance of recognizing and healing our attachment disturbances, and the implications of this work on our fundamental confidence and happiness in life. Working with George and what he teaches has been hands down the most important work I've ever done, and I'm fortunate to now be getting mentored by him to facilitate this important work with my own 1-on-1 private coaching clients. In this conversation we talk about how George came across this work, the importance of healing emotional patterns and limiting beliefs before seriously embarking on a spiritual path, why creatives with insecure attachment struggle to show up consistently in their art and business, and much more. If there's one podcast you listen to all year from this show, let this be the one.

This has been a big paradigm shift for me this year and has helped me to sustain momentum towards my dreams without burning out or losing excitement. Most importantly, by “sampling” what my dreams will feel like in small ways everyday and being mindful of how I feel, I’ve become much more aware of which dreams actually feel fulfilling and meaningful to me, and which dreams drain more energy than they provide … which is helping me become much more savvy about which desires I can trust are coming from my soul vs. my ego.

Theo Zgraggen is an artist and coach who looks at all of life as a work of art. I found his profile randomly on Instagram a little while back, and was immediately captivated by his message and conscious approach towards creativity. We share very similar worldviews as artists and humans - Theo feels like a long lost brother who is on the same mission as me: to help as many people as possible find their authentic voice and feel safe to share it with the world. What I admire most about Theo is the palpable way he embodies his missions as an artist. As you'll hear and feel in this conversation, Theo truly is "living his art" (the name of his coaching business) in each moment, from the way he thinks deeply about questions, talks about his story, and shares his work with the world. He even helped me to challenge some of my own assumptions around art and creativity and I left this conversation feeling refreshed and inspired about my art and service. This is definitely one of my favorite conversations on the show so far - if you're an artist (which is all of you listening out there ; )), you definitely don't want to miss this one.

Caroline D'Amore is a modern day renaissance woman. Her journey to where she is today is a story that every human being who is trying to live a life true to themselves needs to hear. Caroline has been a model, actress, musical artist, DJ, and fashion designer - and she found prolific success in all of those things. But as you'll hear in this podcast, it wasn't until she got honest with herself about the intention behind why she was pursuing certain paths did she get more clarity about her deepest mission, which has led her to her current work as the CEO and Founder of Pizza Girl, an organic and sugar-free pasta sauce company. What I admire most about Caroline is the combination of radical self-belief and self-awareness that she embodies. She carries herself with confidence, but couples it with a respect for what she doesn't know and an eagerness to continually learn and grow. In this conversation we talk about Caroline's story, her many endeavors, how she knew starting Pizza Girl was her truest calling, the importance of looking at the things you may be running from within yourself, why empowering others is key to being a great leader, and much more.

Our ability to make this discernment has huge implications on how we spend our attention and time and how aligned we are with what we truly want ... which directly affects the quality of our lives. In this week's Scary Sunday episode I discuss how we can use the body to find out which desires we can trust to really be our own.

You come up from underneath the surface to look for the boat that caused this unexpected wake ... but there is nothing to be found. Only when you travel back down deep under the water do you begin to notice all of the swelling undercurrents of movement that are constantly flowing below the surface, just waiting to cause the next big wave over the surface .... So often when we feel uncomfortable emotions, we look to the external events in our lives to justify what we are feeling. While this is sometimes useful, it can also prevent us from fully feeling our feelings because we over conceptualize the mental stories behind them. By learning to deal with our difficult emotions directly at a somatic level, without needing to conceptually understand why they are there, we can often move through them faster ... and even transform them into tremendous sources of personal vitality and power.
