In this episode I speak with the amazing Rajshree Patel, a woman whose words alone paint the picture of a being who has tapped into their true potential. Rajshree began her career as a prosecutor living in Los Angeles until a fateful misunderstanding of an advertisement led her to attend an event by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar - the spiritual leader, not the legendary sitar player she thought she was going to see. Despite initial resistance from her overly analytical lawyer-brain, her newfound guru led her to profound realizations that set her on a new course in life.Rajshree is now an international self-awareness coach, teacher, speaker, and author of "The Power of Vital Force". She has taught hundreds of thousands of people the power of meditation, mindfulness, breath work, and other tools for accessing the innate source of energy, creativity, and fulfillment within.Listen as we discuss:The importance of 'doing the work'How we are born happy as a default setting but lose our way in the maze of livingHow the mind is no different than the choices we makeThe core differences between intellect and intelligenceHow we can look to the animal, plant, and cosmic kingdoms as proof that everything in the universe moves with a precise blueprint, including ourselvesThis episode is part of our Silver Linings theme.Instagram: @mo_gawdatFacebook: @mo.gawdat.officialTwitter: @mgawdatLinkedIn: /in/mogawdatConnect with Rajshree Patel on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @byrajshreeDon't forget to subscribe to Slo Mo for new episodes every Monday and Thursday.
