How To BREAK Your Negative Patterns To Achieve INNER PEACE | Sadhvi Saraswati & Lewis Howes

Worthiness

Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati discusses how societal influences and personal experiences shape our sense of worth. She explains that from a young age, we are conditioned to believe our value is tied to our achievements, leading to a pervasive sense of 'not enoughness' 1. This is further exacerbated by media and consumerism, which constantly tell us we need more to be complete 2.

We are mired internally from our childhood and then in this constant barrage from outside in not enoughness.

--- Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati

Lewis Howes adds that this external validation often leads to harmful behaviors as people try to fill the void within themselves 1.

   

Trauma

Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma and finding inner peace. She recounts a pivotal moment when she forgave her biological father, transforming her perception of him from a monster to a haunted man 3. This act of forgiveness was crucial in letting go of her identity as a victim.

The difference between being free and being stuck is whether you hold on to the identity of being harmed.

--- Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati

Lewis Howes emphasizes the importance of releasing the victim identity to achieve true freedom 3.

   

Freedom

Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati discusses the difference between managing trauma and achieving true freedom. She explains that many people, including herself, initially learn to manage their trauma but do not believe they can be completely free from it 4. However, true freedom comes from letting go of the obsessive control and embracing one's humanity.

The idea that you could actually be free, that suffering could actually end, not simply be managed, was something that never occurred to me.

--- Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati

Lewis Howes and Sadhvi discuss how embracing one's humanity, including all its imperfections, is essential for spiritual growth 5.
