  • The yogic practice of asking, “Who am I?”
  • This mystical present moment
  • How the entire universe is inside your mind
  • Experiencing selflessness
  • Why you can’t just ‘no-self’ it away
  • Moving past your inner-critic, shame, and unworthiness
  • Listening to, accepting, and loving the shadow
  • The strength of being grounded on Earth
  • Working with meaninglessness
  • Letting go of old identities
  • Love as the work of a lifetime
