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

Navigating Suffering

Navigating suffering involves understanding our dharmic responsibilities and making conscious choices about the energy we take on. Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati emphasizes that we should protect our peace by sending love and compassion from afar to those we can choose to distance ourselves from 1. For those close to us, she suggests recognizing their suffering without taking it personally, akin to wearing a 'spiritual mask' to shield ourselves from their negativity 2.

   

Reconnecting to Self

Reconnecting with oneself can be as simple as taking moments throughout the day to pause and reflect. Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati advises tying these moments to routine activities, like turning the key in the ignition or setting an alarm to remind us to reconnect 3. She likens this practice to putting on a wetsuit, which keeps us warm and protected while still allowing us to engage with the world 4.

   

Embracing Freedom

Embracing freedom requires letting go of past traumas and the identities tied to them. Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati shares her experience of releasing pain into the Ganga river, which helped her shed the identity of a victim and embrace a new sense of self 5. She explains that holding onto these identities keeps us stuck, whereas letting them go allows us to be truly free 6.

   

Inner Stillness

Achieving inner stillness doesn't require drastic changes; even dedicating 15 minutes a day can make a significant difference. Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati suggests simple practices like watching the breath to connect with the present moment and dissolve the boundaries between inner and outer worlds 7. She recounts a transformative experience where she perceived the divine presence in everything around her, illustrating the profound impact of stillness 8.
