S2 EP 27. Raj Jana: Exploring The Roots Of Self-Abandonment

13 February 2024 by Raj Jana

We all have parts of ourselves that consciously or unconsciously undermine our own wellbeing and dreams. But what causes this self-sabotaging tendency? Where does that inner voice dismissing our needs come from?

On this month’s reflection episode of Stay Grounded, Raj takes a stab at answering these questions from his own lived experiences. Amidst pivotal healing work and relationship mirrors, Raj gains profound clarity on childhood origins of his own self-abandonment patterns.

Tune in now to learn:

Why our closest relationships often reveal our deepest triggers needing release
The subtle childhood “trauma” that started Raj’s pattern of self-abandonment
The steps Raj is taking to clear himself of unhealthy attachment dynamics
How to reframe disappointments as helpful redirects on your soul’s unique path
Why surrendering control is required to experience the life you actually want

Raj offers an inside look at his emotional process – from uprooting energetic parasites from his system to gaining self-awareness around dynamics with loved ones that conditioned him to put the needs of others before his own. If you resonate with feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns of self-abandonment, Raj’s story will inspire deeper trust in the artful unfolding of life through a commitment to the inner work.

S2 EP 25. Angie Netterville: Using Cancer As A Catalyst For Change

23 January 2024 by Raj Jana

In this week’s episode of Stay Grounded, Raj interviews a cancer thriver who recently completed Liber8’s Precision Emotional Healing for Cancer program.

If you or someone you love has been impacted by cancer, you know the immense physical, mental, and emotional toll it can take. While essential, standard medical treatments are simply not enough. Angie’s story beautifully illustrates how holistically supporting mental and emotional health can profoundly improve quality of life and health outcomes.

In the Precision Emotional Healing for Cancer program, participants like Angie undergo a proprietary mapping process to pinpoint core wounds and hidden stressors that may be sabotaging health and wellbeing. They receive tailored support and practices to process old pain, build self-worth, and move forward with more resilience and joy.

A few things discussed on this episode:

– Angie was first diagnosed with a rare blood cancer (hairy cell leukemia) at age 41, then had two additional recurrences. Her cancer journey has been stressful and emotionally difficult.

– She intuitively felt stress played a major role and tried various things like meditation and therapy to relieve it, but still felt overwhelmed.

– Angie joined Liber8’s Precision Emotional Healing for Cancer program after seeing Raj in a video. She intuitively trusted that this program could help support her recovery.

– Through the 3 month program, Angie gained profound insight into core wounds and pain points sabotaging her health. We discuss her tailored program for building self-worth, confidence to trust her intuition, and the ability to handle challenges with more ease and humor.

The transformations the Liber8 program facilitates for cancer patients are remarkable – improved labs and scans, healed relationships, enhanced energy, purpose and zest for life. Angie described emerging with greater confidence, intuition, and excitement to pursue her soul’s calling of serving others impacted by cancer.

Investing in emotional healing and empowerment could be one of the most meaningful gifts you give yourself or a loved one on the cancer journey.

S2 EP 24. Raj Jana and Dan Russell: Learning To Sit With Our Triggers

17 January 2024 by Raj Jana

In this thought-provoking discussion, Dan Russell chats with Raj Jana about the discomfort that often arises when we allow ourselves to sit with challenging emotions and triggers. They explore how we can build the “courage muscle” to lean into these difficult spaces on the path to growth and self-discovery.

By sharing vulnerable stories from their journeys, they expose how suppressed trauma, limiting beliefs, and unresolved pain can silently manifest in the body as symptoms like fatigue, skin issues, sexual dysfunction, and poor digestion.

Our guest Dan Russell brings a deep experience in personal development and spiritual discovery to this conversation. As the founder of Hama, a personal growth community offering online and in-person programs focused on enlightenment, Dan has dedicated himself to researching techniques and tools for conscious living. After stepping back from a successful marketing career to embark on his own journey of self-inquiry, he now guides others looking to actualize the best version of themselves.

Key takeaways:

Plant medicines and other modalities can bring unconscious beliefs and traumas to the surface, but the real work happens in how skillfully we integrate these lessons into our daily living.
Sitting with discomfort and leaning into triggered emotional spaces with courage is essential for growth – this builds our “awareness muscle.”
Realigning with our deepest principles helps us stay anchored in a state of grace, allowing external triggers to bounce off us.
Cultivating proactive awareness through stillness practices allows us to pause and retain choice over our responses rather than blindly reacting.
The journey of self-inquiry and consciously working on ourselves is a profound gift that serves our life purpose in each passing moment.

This insightful discussion reminds us that integrating our experiences and doing the ongoing work of “becoming” is what enables real and lasting transformation. If you found value in it, share it with a friend you feel might resonate!

S2 EP 23. Raj Jana: Lessons From Sitting In Silence For 10 Days

9 January 2024 by Raj Jana

In this episode, Raj shares about his experience recently completing a 10-day silent meditation retreat. He discusses the profound lessons and insights he gained.

Key Takeaways:

The difference between “doing” and “being” and how we often use activity and busyness to distract from simply being.
How sitting in stillness and silence forced Raj to confront deeply rooted patterns, beliefs, fears and attachments.
The value of “zooming out” – accessing higher states of consciousness and awareness to witness the egoic mind with compassion.
Letting go of control and moving from a place of trying to “manifest” outcomes to one of allowing and trusting in the perfection of each moment.
Shifting perspective – how our perceptions create our reality. WIDENING one’s lens is a spiritual practice.
Aloneness versus loneliness. Learning to find nourishment in solitude.
Why Raj feels integrating more slowing down and stillness will serve his life in 2024.

In a world that glorifies busyness and productivity, creating space for stillness often takes courage, but offers immense rewards. As Raj discovered, when we slow down and cut away external distractions, we open the doorway to greater presence, self-awareness, and alignment with our deeper truth. We come home to who we really are.

If you’re feeling the urge to explore more stillness and silence in your own life, whether for 10 minutes or 10 days, this episode offers much food for thought. Raj’s experience serves as inspiration to us all on the value of simply “being” amidst life’s perpetual motion. Tune into his hard-won insights – it just may change the way you see the world.
