The top 5 learnings from the podcast:
Starting Your Day with Gratitude
The discussion explores how Sister Shivani and Coutinho begin their days with practices that cultivate gratitude and set a positive tone. “Gratitude is the antidote to negativity,” says Sister Shivani. She emphasizes starting with gratitude, followed by meditation, while Coutinho highlights the power of prayer and expressing gratitude before rising from bed.
Incorporating Consistency and Avoiding Guilt
Sister Shivani emphasizes the importance of consistency in mindful practices while urging listeners to avoid dwelling on missed opportunities. “Consistency is key, but don’t let guilt hold you back,” she says. She advises listeners to acknowledge a missed practice and move forward with consistency.
The 4.00 AM Club and Utilizing the Sleep-Wake State
The conversation explores the concept of Brahma Mahurat, the pre-dawn hours considered as a time of high vibration, ideal for setting intentions and cultivating new habits. “Think of it as prime time for your subconscious mind,” advises Sister Shivani. Both Sister Shivani and Coutinho discuss the power of the sleep-wake state for accessing the subconscious mind. Rajan Navani concurred with Sister Shivani and shared his personal experience of finding solutions to some of his problems due to his habit of waking up at 4 AM. “This twilight zone holds immense potential for reprogramming our minds,” Coutinho concludes.
Mind Over Body
“Mindfulness is the bridge between stimulus and response,” explains Coutinho. He highlights how mindfulness empowers us to make conscious choices for a healthy body, even in challenging situations. Coutinho also highlights the power of the mind through the example of placebo studies in pharmaceuticals. “The mind has such immense potential, but most of us are operating on autopilot,” he observes.
BK Shivani emphasizes that mindfulness allows us to detach from reactive emotions and cultivate emotional well-being. “In mindfulness, we become the author of our response, not a prisoner of our circumstances,” she says.
Both Sister Shivani and Coutinho address the importance of mindful eating. “As you think, so shall you eat,” says Sister Shivani, echoing the ancient proverb “Jaisa ann waisa mann” (as is the food, so is the mind). Coutinho discourages demonizing food and emphasizes the importance of gratitude for nourishment.
Fear and Human Behavior
“Fear is a messenger, but silence is its weapon,” warns Coutinho. He advises taking action to overcome fear, rather than letting it control us. The discussion explores how healthy lifestyle choices – nutrition, movement, sleep, and emotional well-being – can be powerful tools for managing fear.
