I am grateful beyond words to offer you this podcast, packed with powerful principles. "I have recently received coaching from Satyen Raja in the context of the Accelerated Evolution process. My experience was that the method, as Satyen practices it, goes deftly and efficiently to our core issues, and leads to integration that often would take much longer to achieve. Satyen is a dedicated healer who works from the heart and from deep insight into the human soul." - Gabor Mate, world-renowned physician and writer. Accolades for all that Satyen brings to the world, and the lives that he has had a powerful positive impact on is beyond measure. I happen to be one of them. As a part of the Warrior Sage Master Coaching community and a certified Accelerated Evolution Academy graduate, I have a certain understanding of how potent these processes are. This interview offers a deep exploration of some of the fundamental principles behind these processes. They have radically transformed my life and that of all the people I work with. Please listen and absorb all that is useful in this profound conversation.

Dear ones!
Enjoy and in-joy my new-newsletter, just out... The Art of Creation - https://mailchi.mp/ce48d7d6fda6/creation Subscribe to my newsletters: bhaskargoswami.com/contact LAKSHMI I bow to you, as you bow to me With contact, I marvel at creation. This is all that creation wants, and she bows to me, as I bow to her. She rejoices and opens up her bounty of creation. "My Lord”, she says, “All of this is for you. Look at me, notice me, surrender to me; and I will give you whatever you wish to experience. All I ask of you is, see me, really see me. Without this, I cannot exist, and you cannot exist. This body, all that is within, all that manifests from it, that adorns it, and all that is around it, it's all me. I created it for you. That is how much I love you. You can put your attention on any aspect of me. Just see me. Make it real. I've been waiting for you to really notice me for so long my beloved. " By noticing my beloved, she thrives. She bestows upon me magical boons of power, love, freedom, flow and wisdom. With this, all worldly abundance arises effortlessly. For she knows, that I know, it's her show. What is truly mine to do, is really enjoy the show, knowing that this show is for me, offered by my beloved. Claim now, "I'll make it real my beautiful, true and wise lover. I've got you, forever. I love the way you dance!" Rare is the one that surrenders completely to the dance. You are that pearl. What is stronger, the left fist, or the right palm? What is more yielding, the right palm or the left fist? The true power and grace is in the contact. This is when I truly feel my beloved’s benevolent foot on my chest, as I lay suppliant, in divine ecstasy. It is not my chest. It's hers. 🙏 Enjoy and in-joy this brief blog post/ article on the meaning of mindfulness and how this practice relates to entrepreneurship. It's from a recent inter-view with Boutique Skin Envie - MediSpa & Boutique:
https://bskinenvie.ca/blogs/news/bhaskar-goswami-on-mindfulness A project I care deeply about and am grateful to be an advisor for is People Before Patients. It's about reimagining healthcare as we know it.
Here is a snippet of a recent interview with People Before Patients founder Mark Stolow. This first video is about turning divisions into multiplications: www.linkedin.com/posts/people-before-patients_peoplebeforepatiens-healthcare-practice-activity-7056295143720529920-D9l7 This second video is about health care vs fixing sickness: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7057412915380809728 This third snippet is about a very valuable addition to the current healthcare ecosystem. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7059149516729376768 Learn more about PBP and join this truly positive and impactful initiative: https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-before-patients/ lightconversationswithbhaskar.transistor.fm/3 There is a story of a young man who, during the ceremony of this father's passing, sees the Buddha walking by. He runs to the Buddha and implores, "You are such an enlightened being. Please do some special ritual so that my father gets permanent resenency in the heavens". The Buddha in his own way responded, "If you put stones in water, it will sink to the bottom. If you put butter in water, it will float to the top. This is the law of nature. Similarly, if your father lived a light and uplifting life, who can make himdo up or bring him down?" My dear friend and mentor Steve 'The River Man' Sims passed away recently. I feel only the lightness of his spirit and deep appreciation for sharing my life journey with this increduble gentle and wise man. The Friday before his passing, he was in considerable pain. I asked him, "what gives you the most joy these days?" Without hesitation he responded, "The thought of beating you in chess my friend". We'll play our next game together on the other side Steve-ji :) Steve 'The River Man' Sims is wisdom. If you did not get to meet Steve-ji in person, that's pretty much all one needs to know. He leaves his wisdom behind in all those whose hearts he touched and in his books 'River of Awareness', 'Wisdom of Authenticity' and 'The Noble River' Trilogy. Steve travelled the world and lived a life less ordinary. He dedicated his life to being 'an adventure of love', serving in addiction centers, prisons, low income neighborhoods and end-of-life care. He lived right beside Riviere Rouge in Quebec. Whenever life got too wild, and I needed shelter, I used to spend my days with him in silence at his river cabin. In the evenings we chatted and played games. I feel so blessed to have had such a mentor in my life. He was like a fresh river of wisdom and I could come by at any time and take a drink. I'm delighted to offer to you this wonderful and wise conversation. A gift of his wisdom to us.

The Inner Game of Beauty Gratitude to Beate Von Huene and bskinenvie.com for creating this meaningful conversation 🙏 Enjoy and in-joy :) https://pod.co/sknkre-by-bse “Self care is about having a radical trust in your own goodness” – Steve Sims, author
There is a joke I once heard that went something like this, “every time I feel the urge to exercise, I sit down and mindfully observe the urge passing away.” Although the practice of self care appears to be simple enough, it is fraught with subtle misunderstandings and unexamined decisions of defeat. At one level, it runs counter to the trending ‘hustle culture’. As Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “Need two more hours in your day? Sleep six hours a night. How? Sleep faster”. To the hard-core hustlers out there, the expression ‘self care’ reeks of soft, weak, sensitivity training, breeding people that are fodder for the dragon’s den or shark tank of the bloodied business battlefield. When I was working as an engineer in a typical corporate environment, I often ran across people that wore stress like a badge of honor. It was seen as a sure sign that one is earning their keep and worthy of promotion. I recall playing the unspoken game of who can stay at work the longest and look the busiest. The double-edged sword of either being genuinely overwhelmed with too much work, or the equally stressful situation of faking it because there are not enough meaningful tasks to perform. Beyond this, in this hyper-information society, rife with uncertainties and endless distractions, the words of Mark Twain have never been more inundating and truer, “I've lived through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.” To take a break from this, many gravitate towards even more nerve-jangling forms of entertainment. I won’t compound your concerns by citing statistics on the escalating burnout, insomnia, depression, and anxiety in society. On the other end of the spectrum, there are some that give themselves eight to ten hours of alone time in the morning to mentally prepare for the day. Those that conveniently avoid a deep sense of misalignment or laziness by taking their fourth self-care day in a row. ‘Self-care’ for some, is a very effective way to procrastinate the possibility of failure that may come with taking on new challenging tasks or making impactful decisions. So how can we practice genuine self-care in this societal and psychological quagmire? Here are a few principles: 1. You have been gifted a precious human birth. Not just any sentient being, a human being! You did nothing consciously to deserve it. Are you taking full advantage of this gift to truly explore and enjoy life? Don’t waste this precious gift that will be taken away from you in a few breaths. What must I do, so that you can live, love and die without regret? Ask this question every morning, gain clarity and act on it. 2. Doing good feels good. It is a simple law of nature that is as old as breath, just before every wholesome action, there is a pleasant feeling. Trust your own goodness and the aligned action that comes out of this. 3. You are a conscious being with choice. You are not an unconscious, choiceless victim. You get to choose how to look after your body, mind, energy and emotions. Claim this choice and choose wisely. Take care of the gift so that you can truly explore and enjoy life. 4. Master your mornings. Although the day ahead may be unpredictable, most of us have some say over how the day begins. As an act of love, give yourself an hour of personal power every morning with exercise, breathwork, meditation and journaling. Where is the hour going to come from? Here’s another strategy, with much respect to Arnold, go to bed an hour earlier. 5. Ask yourself who else will benefit from you taking better care of yourself. If you practice self care just for yourself, it will feel heavy, like carrying a bag of bricks up a mountain. When you do it for the benefit of others, your practice will have wings and echo for generations. 6. Me, We, Omni. Only when you are well, can you truly take care of your relationships and contribute to life in an uplifting, impactful way. As the saying goes, hurt people hurt people and healed people heal people. 7. Seek out a mentor. All athletes, from beginners to elite have trainers. Skillful living is no different. Self care begins with first noticing all that is you. When you really start to notice, you start to appreciate. What you appreciate, you take care of. What you take care of, thrives. The practice of self care has everything to do with how much you care about you. -- Upcoming professional development retreat: The Vertical Growth Retreat, Feb 9-12 2023, Spa Eastman, Quebec Learn more and register: https://mindsmatter.com/program/vertical-growth-retreat We all wish to live a rich and meaningful life.
