Have You Listened to The Emotional Fast?
The past 6 weeks I’ve been teaching a series on The Mongata Podcast called the Emotional Fast. Have you ever wondered why you feel and experience emotions the way you do? Each week we look at the answers to those questions and bring forward the useful tools you have within yourself to transform and embrace those emotions and habits.
The idea for The Emotional Fast came about as many traditions were planning to fast during their holy seasons. As I was driving to the studio one day in February this thought came to mind, “What if we could fast from our habits and emotions for just one week?” Quickly a list of ideas started to pour in and our very first series on the Mongata Podcast was born.
So Here’s How It Works
Each week is a chosen emotion or habit. We immerse ourselves into this experience of why it exist in the first place and then we take the steps to fast from this habit or emotion for one full week. Every Thursday is a teaching episode and then on Sundays is the meditation to match.
Week 1 Consumption Coming into Simplicity
This episode looks at what we consume, whether that is what we eat to the technology we use, what is taking up space in our lives and why? Along with a moment of short breathwork and journaling, this insight fun episode sets our intentions for the next 5 weeks.
Meditation Into the Center Of Your Heart Cave
In this guided meditation, we are experiencing a journey into the center of our heart cave. There you will meet a wise soul who has insights, guidance, and a gift for you.
Week 2 Transforming Multitasking into Presence
