THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: This podcast with Tracee Stanley goes deep into the age-old question of “Who am I” including the obstacles to experiencing the True Self or in her words the “Luminous Self”. Her analogy of a dirty windshield perfectly illustrates how worldly illusions cover Self-knowing. Imagine samskaras (habits and impressions in the mind) and kleshas (obstacles to spiritual growth) as bug splats on a once clean windshield. Windshield washers just make viewing through the windshield more difficult. It takes the right tools to clear the bugs/impressions. The discussion goes deep into samskaras and kleshas and clarifies how working with them helps us hold ourselves and our community in a different way.
DR. TRUJILLO’S COMMENTS: I enjoyed our discussion about the innate wholeness, luminosity, and joy of our inner Self. I found our conversation about the Kleshas, the obstacles to our awakening, to be very rich and deep, beginning with Avidya, or the mistaken identification of ourselves with our changing body and mind. I loved Tracee’s guidance to listen to the “whispers of the soul”, which we sometimes notice but sometimes ignore.
