The Spiritual Cost of Taking Life Too Seriously

Описание: Seriousness masquerades as maturity but actually contracts your body, mind, and spirit. Nibodhi shares how Ayurveda, Vedic psychology, and neuroscience reveal seriousness as a protective mask born from childhood fear. He offers practices to soften this grip through breath, play, and devotion.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why seriousness is a Vata-Pitta imbalance
