Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: In today's episode, we're diving into the consciousness of being a guest.
How does it feel when you're a guest? When you're traveling through some place that you haven't been to before or maybe you're going there for a short time? It has a certain feeling, a certain lightness. And today we're talking about this in an unlimited way. How does it feel to be a spiritual guest on this planet? Because if you expand out the scale, it's really just the same thing as being a guest driving through a road trip or going to another country. And so this guest consciousness can radically transform our feelings. It can make us feel more light, more liberated. It can help us overcome being too neurotic and needy and clingy and weird and making a big deal and getting upset about every little thing.
It's such a wonderful state to live from. And that's what we're diving into today.
So welcome, welcome, welcome to the podcast. Hello, Shireen. Blessings. Blessings.
[00:01:07] Speaker B: I know. Hello. How are you doing?
[00:01:10] Speaker A: I'm doing great. Last time we did this, you had a cold, and then you went to India, and you've been on a wonderful trip, haven't you?
[00:01:18] Speaker B: It's been great.
[00:01:20] Speaker A: Yeah. You've been a guest.
[00:01:21] Speaker B: It's been great, huh?
[00:01:23] Speaker A: You've been a guest.
Yeah.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: It doesn't.
[00:01:27] Speaker A: When you go on a trip.
[00:01:27] Speaker B: No, it doesn't feel like I was a guest, but I do need to get into that mode. I mean, I have to actively get into the mode of being a guest because every place I visited in India, except for the temples everywhere else, feels like home.
[00:01:44] Speaker A: Right. You've been there before, so it's kind of like away from home. So it's a bit different feeling.
[00:01:50] Speaker B: Right? Right.
[00:01:51] Speaker A: What do you think about this, this consciousness of being a guest? Why is that important?
[00:01:57] Speaker B: I was thinking about two things.
I was thinking that there are two awarenesses we need to have about being a guest, and I was practicing it this morning. I'm a guest in this body, and I'm a guest in the world. Two things, right?
So one is the body itself. I'm a guest visiting this body, and I'm a caretaker.
And the other one is just in the world in general. I'm visiting.
You know, if you think about it, right. They like a lot of the things, the stresses we have.
I mean. Okay, let's.
Let's think about the last time you went visiting somewhere, Right.
How did you feel? Where you felt, oh, you're just visiting.
[00:02:49] Speaker A: Well, I just went on a road trip. I Decided just to drive north.
I was like, I'm going north.
And I mean, when you go north from here, there's only really two main roads that.
And I went. The road I haven't been. So I was going to brand new places. I went up to Zion national park, which is just incredible, and Bryce Canyon, some of these places up. So it's.
It's such a wonderful feeling, first of all, to. To drive around and not even know where I'm going and what it's going to be like. I didn't have any pictures on the phone. It's not like I. Because a lot of people, they travel and they know what it looks like when they get there. And it kind of takes away the excitement and the newness because they already know. And then you might be let down when you get there.
So if you just. I was just driving up north and it's such a beautiful feeling, actually, just to be like, oh, everything's new, everything's different. I've never seen it before.
I don't have this feeling like I've got strong opinions about things, you know, because, like, when you get to one place, like where I live now, they've sent these things in the mail saying, what do you think about this amphitheater? Should we build it? Should we let thousands of people come here? And I'm like, no one should be allowed to come here. It was already too busy. And I went online and I clicked a bunch of buttons, said, no, not into that, because this is where I live, right? But there I'm driving through places I have no idea about the local politics and building sites and what people are doing. And I'm just like, oh, isn't this fun? This is all new and different.
It's a wonderful feeling of lightness, newness, fascination, detachment. It's a beautiful state to be in. It really is.
[00:04:31] Speaker B: It is a beautiful state to be in. So I was thinking about that, right? Like, when you're going visiting, you're like, oh. So I went on. When I was in India, I went on this South India temple tour, and I was in a few places, few hotels, and I was just happy to be a guest. Call room service, get me more water. Call this, like, great.
[00:04:53] Speaker A: Yay.
This is great.
[00:04:56] Speaker B: This is wonderful.
But I guess to maintain that feeling when you have to get your own water and do your own bed and all of that, that's the most important thing right there. But I was thinking about this, right?
So when I was in India, they having a lot of shortage of the lpg gas because of the Hormuz Strait.
And so we weren't thinking, oh, do we have gas? Do we not have gas? Because at home my mom was worrying about that. Right. We don't have gas because everyone in India cooks with LPG.
And so, so there was no, you know, 10, 10 o'. Clock. Oh, see if you can get an extra cylinder somewhere. This and that. That was not going on. Right. Just be a guest, take it easy, someone else's problem.
Right.
And so.
And so I feel that consciousness should actively come into our lives.
Not just when I'm visiting somewhere else, but, you know, that lightness, that feeling of, you know, just being easy about things. Right. Like not stressing about the big things or the small things or any of those things.
[00:06:25] Speaker A: Yeah. If we can bring it. It's. I mean, the. The closest I can I get to that in a physical way. And we'll talk about the spiritual side, is that when I'm leaving here, going on a trip somewhere else, the. The day I leave or the day before, like when I went to England, or if I go away for like a long time or even a short time on the day or day before, all of a sudden I can see where I am differently.
Like, it's a very visceral experience. I'm like, oh, this is cool. Oh, look at the hummingbirds.
Oh, the mountains are so nice. Oh, I like my house.
There's a totally different feeling because I'm about to leave.
So the guest feeling in my regular life becomes extremely obvious under the circumstance of leaving it.
But if I think I'm not going to leave for months and months and months, then unless I do some spiritual work, that just goes away and I'm just like, all right, I'm in my routine, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So the thing that brings it back is leaving, Leaving turns this into being a guest.
And when I came back recently from this trip, I arrived because I was away for a week, came back, and I came back at like 7am when the sun was coming up. And I'm like, oh, my God, what a cool place I live in. This is so awesome.
But I don't normally think that way naturally.
[00:07:53] Speaker B: Right, right.
So I have a feeling that a lot of the time, like when you were talking, this feeling came that we need to have the art of being a guest. We need to learn the art of being a guest. Like a spiritual guest. Right.
So, for example, like, let's say a good guest.
There was this one time you were telling me someone went somewhere and the Trash wasn't taken out accidentally, and they got so upset about the trash not being taken out. So that's not being a good guest, is it? Like if you, let's say you're renting an Airbnb and you're constantly upset about what's going on, that's not being a good guest. So I feel even spiritually, there is an art of being a guest.
You know, you travel lightly, you don't stress. You don't stress about your mortgage or your rent or your, you know, the plumbing is working or not working. You're not stressing about those things. Right. You're, you know, you're taking it easy. So I feel that should be one of the base rules. Right? The art of being a guest, a spiritual guest, is no stress.
Like, you really let the chips fall wherever they may fall and you stop stressing about things.
[00:09:15] Speaker A: You have a different attitude, isn't it?
Being a spiritual guest really is the same as being a physical guest. It's just expanding the feeling out everything.
It's the same feeling, isn't it? And that's why I like the practice. Going beyond going to the spiritual home and coming back. I created a course on this recently, this freedom method, which we learn in Raj Yoga, where I'm a spiritual being here, then I imagine leaving the body and going into the spiritual home and then coming back. So I haven't. I'm just sitting here. But when I do go beyond and come back, go beyond and come back, it creates a similar feeling to going on a trip and coming back to the house.
Except instead of having to get in the car and drive thousands of miles all the time, complications, you can just sit here and do it. But is it brings maybe in the
[00:10:14] Speaker B: art of being a guest, Right. The art of being a guest is wherever you are, you live lightly. And two is you keep.
You keep exiting the physical plane, go to the spiritual plane and keep coming back as a guest. Right. You have to keep doing that to be able to sustain this feeling of being a guest.
[00:10:33] Speaker A: Absolutely. Yeah. Because the guest feeling is based on going elsewhere and coming back temporarily and going elsewhere again.
Because if someone might go and move to a new place and they're there for a week and they're a guest, but if they decide to stay for 10 years, then they're not really a guest after nine years. Oh, no, I'm just a guest. But the closest I've got to is when I was in Hawaii. And I remember you didn't like me when I said this. You were Like I said, I'm on permanent vacation.
Like, you can't be on permanent vacations. This is ridiculous. But what I was trying. What I was trying to say is,
[00:11:14] Speaker B: hey, I take that back. I'm giving you a blessing. May you be on a permanent vacation.
[00:11:19] Speaker A: Ah, there we go. Yeah. Because I remember one time I was in Hawaii, you know, I was just driving down, I went to the health food store and, like, bought a little thing to drink and a snack or something, and I was sitting there looking at the mountains and I was like, ah. If I just had the attitude, I'm on permanent vacation. It has that guest feeling, it has that lightness. I still did a bunch of work in the morning and I was still going to do work in the afternoon, but it just took the edge off this monotonous, endless grind that can destroy our joy.
[00:11:53] Speaker B: Right.
[00:11:54] Speaker A: It just goes on and on and on. You know, we're just like,
[00:11:59] Speaker B: guest, guest, guests. We are guests. You know, the other thing I was thinking about art of being a guest, is you always follow the house rules. Let's say you're, you know, you have an Airbnb somewhere you're going as a guest, there's certain rules you have to follow. Right. And then, you know, you have a good time. Everyone has a good time. And so even here, I feel there's some house rules in the world, especially being in the body.
And I think there are some house rules of the body that you should follow.
Don't put too much junk into it.
Get enough rest, get enough exercise, take care of it, but don't be so obsessed. Some people are so obsessed with the body, they go to these extremes. And I feel that's not part of the house rules.
[00:12:56] Speaker A: No. And I've seen actually a surprising number of people like that who die young, which is sort of weird because the whole thing is about body, body, body, body, body, body, and then they have a heart attack, you know, And I'm like, that's such a weird thing, because so much time and worry.
Whereas the people who live to, like, 100 or over, there's loads of them now. And then they've been interviewed and they say, I enjoy my life. I don't take anything too seriously. You know, they tend to be.
[00:13:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Not so self absorbed. Right, right. Like, I know some people who are so self absorbed about what they eat, and it has to be just this and just that. I mean, of course we have to eat Satvik, you know, pure food to take care of the body. But, you know, like, spending two hours Cutting your vegetables. And I'm like, that's like too much work.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: Yeah. At a certain point, my rule for health is eat basically satvic diet and avoid the.
The classic, you know, the crappy bad oils and the bad sugars and all that stuff. Right. Which they sneak in. As long as you don't have those things and you make your own food and it's satvic food and it's made with love.
That's a pretty solid place to.
And keep it simple. Keep it simple. Not really, really complicated, rich combinations of things. Because the body doesn't stuff.
But yeah, if it's too much. If it's too much. Because it causes mental stress, doesn't it?
[00:14:28] Speaker B: Absolutely. It causes mental stress. And I was also thinking that there's this connection between living lightly in the body and living lightly in the world.
Right. Like, if you take it so seriously, like, everything turns out to be that's like too serious.
Like too serious.
And I feel that's not just being a guest. Right. That's another house rule. I feel that's another art of being a guest is you can't take life so seriously.
[00:15:00] Speaker A: No.
Because that causes heart attacks, doesn't it? Causes all sorts of problems.
[00:15:06] Speaker B: I know a lot of people who take life very seriously and they don't have heart attacks, but it's just not the fun way to be. It's not a fun way to be.
It's not a fun way to be. Right.
And so to really, you know, one of the things.
We got a message a couple of days ago. So Dadi Janki, my wonderful mentor and person I love most, really, it became Abyak six years ago on March, at the end of March.
And so we got a message, you know, and this is our understanding is the message is coming from God.
And the message was, yes, things are going to get bad. And yes, things are, but you will be taken care of, so don't worry. Right. And so that's how I feel these days. It's like, you know, a guest is no worries.
Like, no worries.
And that is the art is like, how can I come to a place of no worries?
[00:16:14] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a beautiful question. I think that's why going beyond going to our spiritual home where we're safe, and then we come back that, that we need some safety outside of the world we have, that we can feel in order to feel no worries, because otherwise we will be worried about those things.
[00:16:38] Speaker B: But also, you know, we have to see the grand sweep of history and we have to have faith in Our own life, in our own fortune, in what we are doing, all of those things, right? Because I was recently in South India and maybe we need to do a whole series on the South India temples. Because it was like the most mind blowing thing I ever saw.
You know, people talk about the pyramids, but how come no one's talking about the South India temples?
[00:17:14] Speaker A: I don't know. When you show me some pictures, I'm like, what the hell? I've never heard about any of these things.
[00:17:20] Speaker B: Are you serious? Like, this is like out of this world, right? So there's this temple, the fascinating part of this temple, right? And this is what happened. So it's called Brihadeeshwara. Brihadeeshwara is in Thanjavore in Tamil Nadu.
And Brihadeeshwara is like, it's not subtle, it's like mind blowing.
So you come to a gate you're looking at from the road, right? You're looking at the gate and you're thinking, wow, look at this gate. Look at all of the sculpture.
Like every inch is sculptured out. And look at the columns, like huge columns. Single, single stone columns rising up like 40ft, right? How did they get the stone? And they built this a thousand years ago.
How did they get the stones there, right? And it's. The whole temple is made of granite.
And so how did they do this? And nowhere around tangible is granite. So they must have gotten somewhere from somewhere else.
But you're going in and you're thinking, oh, this is wonderful gate. Look at the gate. And. But that's not the only gate. Then you go into another gate and you're like, oh my God, look at this gate. Like, you know, there's called something called dwarpals. Is these people on the either side of the gate, like a guarding. And they are sculpted.
And I'm like, oh my God, look at that. But that's not even the gate. There's another gate.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: Your mind is playing for the first gate and then you're just getting started. Just like the appetizer, right?
[00:18:59] Speaker B: By the time you go inside, like into the courtyard, the main temple is not even visible from where you're standing in the courtyard, right? And the main temple is huge, huge, huge. The Shivalingam is so big, so big that apparently it's a single stone. It must be 20, 30ft wide and tall and, you know, 30ft tall and stuff. Single stone Shivalingam.
And by the time you.
So apparently they first put the like and then the door, right? The door to look at The Shiva lingam is this tiny, and you're thinking, oh, how did they get the Shiva lingam in there? And then they told us, the guy told us that they first brought the Shiva lingam and then they built the temple.
So. Okay, I know this episode is not about the temple, but I want to share something here.
The.
The temple is being used right now for whatever its intended purpose.
Right.
Thousand years ago, it was used for worship, and today it's used for worship. Thousands of people come to worship at the temple. That was, like, mind blowing for me. Right? Because where. Where is any of the cathedrals? Anything? Where is it like, you. They're not really used for what it's meant to be. Right. It's more beautiful tourists, stained glass, all of that.
And so I was standing there, and so this emperor called Rajaraja Chola built that temple.
And so the guide was telling us, oh, Raja Chola's Ishtadevata. Ishta Devata is his favorite deity, is that one. Right. Pointed to that one. And he used to come all the time to pray at the Ishta Devata.
And I looked over and guess what?
Thousands years, thousands of thousand years later, still people are praying there. Right. It's like, still doing the same thing. Like, when you think of history, you don't think that you are always thinking that something happened in the past right here. They're doing it. It's not like a commemoration. They're doing it.
They're doing it like he did, without even aware that he did it.
[00:21:36] Speaker A: That's fascinating. Yeah. Because it's true. I mean, like, I went to a bunch of cathedrals in England. People, they do worship there. They do have services and everything.
But realistically, almost everyone who goes there, because I was with these big queues of people, they're. They're tourists primarily, and they're on a tourist, you know. Oh, this is cool. This is cool. And the.
[00:21:56] Speaker B: I must have been the only tourist. Everyone is there to worship.
[00:21:59] Speaker A: Yeah. That's the difference. The temples, they're not. They're not even like, oh, it's a tourist. They're like, let's just do our thing. That's why we're here. That's. That's really fascinating because most of these places, they become like special places, protected, and everyone's a tourist.
[00:22:17] Speaker B: Exactly. So what I realized when she pointed out to me, I was clearly seeing the emperor coming in his carriage, worshiping there and leaving. Right. I could clearly see it happening at that point.
I was able to see the grand sweep of events that we will be fine. This is where I'm getting back to being a guest.
All of us will be fine. We don't need to worry about anything, really. We will be fine.
And it's been going on.
[00:22:53] Speaker A: Going on a long time. Is that what you mean?
[00:22:55] Speaker B: Everything has been going on a long, long time.
[00:22:58] Speaker A: It's been going on. There's been ups and downs. Yeah, that's true.
[00:23:01] Speaker B: Ups and downs. And we will be fine.
That, like, it really landed in my heart.
I will be fine. Let the chips fall where they may. I will be fine. And I feel that is the feeling of being a guest.
Right. You're not waking up at 2am wondering how you're going to pay the rent or the mortgage or what's happening with the plumbing or this or that. No, it's optional. We don't need to do that because we all will be fine.
And I think that is the. That is the basis of the art of being a guest.
[00:23:49] Speaker A: The wonders of life. What a blessing.
Yeah. And to go. To go into that feeling and we all know what that feeling is like in a temporary way and we can bring it back now.
It does take a bit of effort, but my personal experience is just going beyond coming back, even leaving the house, like just driving away somewhere. We can take that as an opportunity to let everything go.
I think that's the big difference is a guest has a bigger awareness of a world beyond.
Just the limit it.
But if we always on our phone and we're always doing the same thing and we never get any mental space from it, then as far as we're concerned, that's the only thing that exists and it becomes such a big deal.
So that's when I, When I go for a walk, I try and just. I definitely don't bring my phone and I'm just trying to leave everything alone. And in meditation, I just leave everything alone because that's how we get space.
And I also feel it is good to actually go away. Like, just for me, I'm going to
[00:24:58] Speaker B: go on more definitely. Everyone should go look at the South India temples.
[00:25:01] Speaker A: Go to the South India temples.
[00:25:03] Speaker B: You'll really realize, no big deal. No big deal. We're all.
[00:25:06] Speaker A: This has been going on a long time. Yeah. Up and down.
[00:25:09] Speaker B: We'll be fine. We really will be fine. Right. And it has. You have to feel that deep inside you will be fine. I feel that is the, you could say fruit of practicing guest consciousness.
Because that's the carrot, right?
Because we want security, we want peace, we want all of these things and then we cling and want to change things and we do this and we do that. And I'm not saying don't work hard, right? We should work hard, we should do what we need to do.
But the accompanying thoughts that go with it, those are optional. We don't need those.
[00:25:52] Speaker A: Well, you can have a.
It's neurosis is what it's called, isn't it?
Doesn't work out. You know, when I, when I tune into being a guest, like physically a guest, when I go on trips, I obviously can't bring everything in the house, clearly, right. I've been on many trips where I have like two, like a carry on and a regular back, regular suitcase.
And in that experience I'm often thinking like, why do I have so much stuff in my house? Because I haven't even used all the stuff in my bag while I'm here and everything's fine, you know. But when I come back, I'm like, well, of course I need all these things, but. But when I'm on it as a guest, I don't think that I need it. So one of the feelings of a guest is that we have less and we just have what we need and we're fine with less. You know, I think what happens is we think we need thousands of things to be happy and we need thousands of things all lined up just the way we like it to be. All right, with ourselves.
But if we can chop that list down to a smaller, more reasonable amount, then it's easier to feel you'll be fine, you know, but like, if I think my happiness requires a very, very long list of like seven pieces of papers worth the thing. Oh, I've got to have this and I've got to have this and I've got to have this. That's why that example we gave friend of mine, he, his family is extremely wealthy, so they expect these long list of things that they want to have all the time. And when something's off, it just throws them off because they expect this long thing.
But if we don't need that much to start with, then we're very grateful for everything else. It's like, oh, this is great.
If a guest has a few things and then they get something extra, they're like, oh, wow, we're so blessed.
But if we.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: That's the art of being a guest also, right?
[00:27:58] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:58] Speaker B: I mean, if we walk through life expecting all these things, like you go there and you expect all these things, then you're not going to enjoy your trip. Right. Little, little things like someone didn't take the trash out can totally throw you off and ruin your trip
[00:28:18] Speaker A: completely. Yeah.
The most extreme example is some woman, Prashant was saying, this teacher, I'm not sure if it's. I think it's a true story from someone he knows who knew someone else. But anyway, she had one of these very high expectations and she was staying in a hotel and she went into the bathroom and she had a fit because the taps were not proper gold.
It ruined her trip and she had to go to a different hotel, apparently, at least gold plated.
[00:28:56] Speaker B: Each hotel has gold bathrooms.
[00:28:58] Speaker A: There's very expensive ones on the penthouse, you know.
[00:29:05] Speaker B: See, that's definitely not part of the art of being a guest.
[00:29:08] Speaker A: No. It's like, can you just manage your life one day without your gold plated taps?
Hope, surely, but just tell me. So it's like if we can a guest, the. The less we need, the less we expect.
Well, I've been in hotels where I like, I have to stay somewhere and I'm done. I'm like, I don't care. I'm just sleeping here, I'm leaving. I don't, I don't. It doesn't have to be. And then I get in the room and I go, this is cool, this is nice, this is nice, because I don't care.
But if I, if I had this thing, I need this, this, this and this, then I'd get to the same room and I'd think, why isn't this. They didn't give me this and they didn't give me this, and then all of a sudden I'm not happy and in exactly the same situation.
So, yeah, cut it all back to not expecting almost anything. And then everything else is great.
[00:30:03] Speaker B: One of the feeling is that if you learn to be a good guest, right, In a hotel somewhere, if you learn to be a good guest, you really get a good night's sleep.
Much more than if in your own house.
You first have to mentally prepare yourself. And I feel that that also is true with life, right? You can have more peace, you can have more calm, you can have more balance in your life if you just. And like. So it's like the spiritual version of learning to get more sleep is you're not, you know, you're not expecting all these things and you're not worrying about everything all the time. And, you know, it's like a.
You could say like an old Samskara that comes up and you keep worrying and worrying and this happened and that happened. And this. This needs to be done, and that needs to be done. And I feel it's just not being a guest. So all of these things are important to learn to be a guest, spiritual guest, totally.
[00:31:13] Speaker A: So your homework, if you want to take it on board, is to remember how does it feel to be a physical guest, first of all, because it's the easiest way of bringing this awareness and then expand that out. How can you apply that to your life and also go beyond and come back and like Shreem was saying, have the feeling that everything's going to be all right, which is actually a natural consequence of being a guest.
You can't force a feeling that everything's going to be all right. In your case, though, you. You had the experience. You kind of had a vision of this emperor, and then you had. You're like, oh, wow, this is. This is a long game going on here. And they're still there now.
So the. These are very, very deep things. And also, I highly recommend to. To go away at least a little bit, as much as you can somewhere.
Doesn't have to.
[00:32:09] Speaker B: Without expectations, right?
[00:32:11] Speaker A: Yeah. You know, you don't have to.
I mean, getting on a plane and going some other country or whatever is the most extreme version is to.
[00:32:19] Speaker B: But we can't always do South India temples.
[00:32:23] Speaker A: Well, you could if you want, you know, but, like, if you're wanting to feel like a guest and you're like, wow, my schedule's packed and I can't go to South India right now, so just go beyond, just drive. I mean, even driving, like, two hours away or even an hour away somewhere, and it's different, isn't it? And then you come back and you get that feeling, you know, so there's lots of ways to get into that guest consciousness. And the more we do it, the more fun it is. And also, I think the last thing we'll mention is that the guest doesn't feel like they own anything.
Right. Like, when I go to some other place, I'm not thinking, this is my house. This is my stuff. If I'm staying in a hotel, I'm, like, not thinking, this is my bed, this is my tv, you know, it's pretty obvious, right?
[00:33:12] Speaker B: Yeah. That feeling of trustee, not owner, that's very important.
[00:33:17] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm using. I'm using the bathroom, I'm using the kitchen. I'm using whatever it is, but it's not mine.
And on a bigger scale, nothing here is ours either. So this is not really my microphone. This is just a microphone that I have to use so we can have that same sort of feeling now.
So it's all fun and games. Fun and games. Anything you want to add to this, Shereen, Any final thoughts?
[00:33:47] Speaker B: Now, I like what you're bringing in. The whole not owning.
Right. Not owning is very important.
And also to practice. As soon as you get up in the morning, even if it is for a few seconds, just practice. I'm a guest in this body. I'm a guest in this world.
Just for a few seconds and see how it shifts, how your whole attitude towards life shifts just by that practice.
[00:34:22] Speaker A: Yeah. And then also as you go to sleep at night, this. I've just finished a course on sleep, which I feel because a lot of people can't sleep well. I personally do, and it helps me sleep really well.
There's lots of things, but the main one is this is a Raj yoga practice. Is that when, when I'm going to sleep to first of all, clear the day. So I haven't got anything in my heart that I'm carrying.
And then to imagine I'm just here for a short time and I go back into the soul world, back into the light. So I genuinely try and leave my body and go into the light. So I'm not trying to fall asleep. I'm trying to go.
I'm going into that golden light, the infinite peace, the spiritual home.
So I'm really leaving this whole world behind as. And then I fall asleep.
So I don't try and fall asleep. I try and go beyond.
And then like Shreem saying, when you wake up, you're like, I've come back just for today for an auspicious task, to do something of service, to enjoy myself.
And then we leave and you'll get better sleep as well as feeling very relaxed.
So yay.
Fun and games.
So have fun.
And we have a blessing, Sean. We don't.
[00:35:45] Speaker B: We have a blessing. We forgot about the blessing. It's been a while.
