Goalden Girls Podcast Episode #67 - How to Connect and Use Ancient Wisdom and Practices with the Modern World with Aditja Jaykumar (Part 2)

In the last episode of Goalden Girls Podcast, I had the honour of interviewing Aditya Jaykumar, Certified Breathwork Practitioner and host of one of the top spiritual podcasts in the world, My Seven Chakras.

Aditya is all about bringing ancient wisdom to the world for the modern mind - and today for us, Golden Girls Podcast listeners.

In our first episode together, we talked about getting into the state of flow, flow versus presence, the role our nervous system plays in our life and why it matters so much, and how to bring bliss and playfulness into our life every day.

In this episode, we dive into a variety of healing modalities and creating natural altered states of consciousness.

You’ll learn about how to do this through breathwork, floatation, and the science and power behind brief intermittent hypoxia (aka holding your breath).

You’ll also learn about the power of yawning (and not just to be told it’s rude!) and about the ancient practice of Qigong.

Aditya also spoke candidly about the recent resurgence and interest in these ancient practices, the real cultural appropriation - and cultural distancing - that is happening – and the importance of respectful, conscious use of these practices.

There are a lot of deep conversations and thoughts weaved throughout, and we hope you enjoy this episode.

I know I’m not alone in desiring to find more simple, holistic ways of creating the beautiful moments in life. And I know you’ll love these ideas, and be served by starting to implement one or two (or as many as you want) in your life.

In this podcast episode, Aditya explores and shares wisdom on some of the best modalities out there to create flow to reduce anxiety, and create more creativity, fulfillment, and bliss in your life.

You’ll learn how to calm your mind, relax your nervous system and experience deep states of bliss.

If you haven’t already, make sure you go back and listen to the last episode to get the foundation of where we’re going, and the state of mind, consciousness, and body that we’re being called into.
