Summary

Making his 9th appearance on the podcast, today marks another mind-bending deep dive into the multiverse with Guru Singh, my treasured friend and favorite wizard of all things mystical. For those newer to the show, imagine a modern-day Gandalf who rocks like Hendrix while dropping pearls of wisdom that beautifully fuse Eastern mysticism with Western pragmatism. A celebrated third-generation Sikh yogi, master spiritual teacher, author, and family man, for the past 40 years Guru Singh has been studying and teaching Kundalini Yoga. He is the author of several books, a powerful lecturer, and behind-the-scenes guide to many a luminary, including Fortune 500 CEOs, athletes, and artists. Guru Singh is also a talented musician who rocked alongside Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead in the 1960s. When he isn’t recording tracks with people like Seal, he’s bringing down the house on the daily at Yoga West, his Los Angeles home base. The focus of today's discourse? Awareness. We talk about the importance of self care, crucial as we near the pressures that accompany the holiday season. We discuss cancel culture. The critical distinction between awareness and judgment. And empathy versus endorsement. And we dive into the incredible power of awareness to cultivate an objectivity about ourselves, others and the world we inhabit. As always, Guru Singh takes us out with a song, so make sure to stick around to the end. You can watch it all go down on YouTube. Enjoy! Peace + Plants, Rich Hosted on Acast.

0:18.0	That they're ignoring the implications of the way it is.

0:42.0	And I'll tell you, if we get enough people to be successful in their life,
0:49.0	in their health, living longer, living healthier because of plant-based diet,
