Stay Grounded with Raj Jana

Most of us chase healing through endless tools and practices—yet remain stuck and unfulfilled. What if the most powerful healing isn't something you add to your life, but something you align with? In this episode, Raj shares his journey to discovering "the frequency of alignment"—where safety and aliveness intersect to create a life with wind behind your sails. No amount of meditation can bring you back to center if you're living misaligned. But when you track your unique signal and design rituals around it, everything changes. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: 🔍 Why do most people confuse chaos with aliveness? The fundamental difference between frenetic energy and true vitality. 🧭 What does your personal "safety signal" feel like? Specific qualities that indicate optimal state versus survival mode. ⚡ How can you create courage by building safety first? The counterintuitive approach to bravery without forcing through fear. 📡 What is "signal tracking" versus traditional reflection? Why focusing on feeling states is more powerful than analyzing actions. 🌪️ Why does life fall apart when you start aligning? Why relationships shift and chaos emerges—and why this is perfect. 🎯 How do you distinguish true alignment from avoiding discomfort? Learn the difference between authenticity and spiritual bypassing. ☕ What role do physical rituals play in anchoring insights? How Raj uses ceremonial tea to embody principles and set daily frequency. 🚀 How do you know when to wait versus take aligned action? Understanding when to push forward versus trust the process. Are you ready to stop pushing the boulder uphill and design rituals that keep you in the frequency where life flows through you? When you prioritize your wellbeing and choose yourself, you don't just heal—you become a gift to everyone around you. Listen to discover your unique alignment frequency and learn to protect it like your life depends on it.  Connect with Raj: Newsletter – Sign up here: https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/ [https://www.rajjana.com/staygrounded/] Website: http://www.rajjana.com/ [http://www.rajjana.com/] Instagram: @raj_jana [http://www.instagram.com/raj_jana] Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBP [https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBP] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_jana [https://www.youtube.com/@raj_jana] Legal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

Alexa Rosenthal is the co-founder of Eco University, where she built a multi-million dollar herbalism program after receiving guidance from plant medicine to "make plants sexy again." But behind her entrepreneurial success was a 20-year journey with antidepressants that began at age 16. After seven failed attempts to get off SSRIs, Alexa finally found a path to freedom through sacred witnessing, grief work, and learning to trust her body's natural capacity to feel. Now eight months medication-free, she's courageously sharing the raw reality of what worked—and what didn't—in her healing journey. Through radical vulnerability and honest storytelling, she's pioneering a new model of feminine leadership that refuses to hide the messy, non-linear path of authentic transformation while demonstrating that regulation, not performance, can be the foundation for sustainable creation. What You'll Discover:  * Why a $1.6 million business milestone became her breaking point * The shocking reality of what happens when your emotional "container" disappears * How she broke her hand learning to feel again after 20 years of numbness * The ancient healing technology called "sacred witnessing" that changed everything * The disturbing 2013 medical change that criminalized natural grief * Why antidepressants are actually "outsourcing your emotional power" * The surprising link between women's rage and planetary healing * What happened when she tried to raise capital while getting off psychiatric drugs Your vulnerability is not your weakness. It's your gift. If you're feeling the call to trust what your body is telling you—whether about medication, relationships, career, or anywhere you've been outsourcing your power—you're not alone in this work. The courage to feel fully, ask for help, be seen in your mess, and trust your body's wisdom over external validation is the revolution our world needs right now. Listen to discover the practical tools and raw honesty that can support your own path to wholeness.

What if your spine holds the blueprint to your entire spiritual journey? What if every trauma, every breakthrough, every stage of awakening creates a specific energetic pattern that can be read like a map? In this profound conversation, we explore the revolutionary concept that your nervous system's capacity for safety directly determines how far you can travel on the path of consciousness. Meet Dr Alec Verkuilen-Brogan, founder of Geometry of Grace and master practitioner of the transformational arts. With decades of study under traditional teachers from Varanasi, India, Alec has developed the rare ability to read the energetic patterns stored in your spine and translate them into precise spiritual development maps. His work bridges ancient wisdom with modern nervous system science, helping people understand exactly where they are on their awakening journey and what specific work is needed to progress to the next stage. What You'll Discover: * Why your spine is actually the most physical expression of the spiritual world – and how this changes everything about how you approach inner work * The shocking truth about why psychedelics create states but not stages – and what you actually need to build lasting spiritual development * How to identify your specific "geometry of trauma" – the precise energetic patterns that keep you stuck and exactly where they're stored in your body * Why most people can't access bliss even when they desperately want to – and the specific interference patterns that block your natural sensitivity to life's beauty * The safety paradox that determines your spiritual ceiling – how your nervous system's capacity for safety literally controls how much awakening you can handle * How to read the developmental map of consciousness – understanding exactly which stage you're in and what paradigm shift is needed to evolve to the next level * Why chasing spiritual highs actually keeps you stuck – and how to identify where you're spiritually bypassing your real work * The moment when personal will becomes divine will – recognizing when you've developed enough coherence to trust your desires as cosmic guidance This conversation is a masterclass in understanding the precise mechanics of consciousness. If you've ever felt stuck on your path, wondered why some practices don’t create lasting change, or sensed a deeper map to awakening no one has shown you, this episode will shift how you approach inner work. Alec reveals the hidden geometry behind spiritual growth and gives you tools to read your energetic blueprint. Your spine holds the records of your soul’s journey – it’s time to learn how to read them.

In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, we're forgetting the most sophisticated intelligence system ever created—the one inside your own body. While AI processes information, ancient intelligence processes life itself: healing wounds, creating connection, and generating the aliveness that makes existence meaningful. But here's the problem: most of us have been systematically disconnected from this intelligence since childhood, leaving us numb, anxious, and searching for answers outside ourselves. Steven Jaggers is the founder of Somatic Breath Work and a pioneer in the nervous system regulation movement. With over 3,000 practitioners trained across 40+ countries, his work is now accredited by Arizona State University for continuing education credits. A former neuromuscular therapist, Steven has spent years studying the intersection of physical alignment, emotional regulation, and human connection. His unique approach combines Eastern somatic practices with Western neuroscience to help people reclaim their birthright: the ability to feel fully alive in their own bodies. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER • Why numbness is actually an active process that's draining your life force – and the counterintuitive truth about why it takes more energy to suppress your feelings than to feel them • The "Attunement Code": How to host another human inside yourself – the meta-skill that data shows is more healing than any technique, tool, or modality • Why your nervous system regulation isn't about staying calm – it's about developing choice, and the surprising reason most people are stuck in the anxiety-depression ping-pong cycle • The parasitic tension stealing your energy – how unconscious muscle contractions are robbing power from your healing, creativity, and aliveness (and how to redirect that energy) • Why healing trauma alone is actually impossible – the science of co-regulation and why your wounds from people can only be healed with people • The "Completion Principle" that changes everything – how somatic breathwork helps your nervous system finish the stress responses that trauma interrupted • How to tell if someone is safe using your nervous system – the congruence test that reveals when someone's words don't match their internal state • The four meta-skills of human intelligence – alignment, attunement, holding space, and range – that no AI can replicate and why mastering them is your greatest advantage in the age of artificial intelligence YOUR INVITATION TO ALIVENESS Your nervous system holds the key to healing, connection, and true aliveness—if you know how to access it. In this episode, Steven distills years of research and client work into practical insights you can use right away. Whether you're facing anxiety, feeling off, or seeking more from life, this is your roadmap. Tune in and discover why your ancient intelligence may be the most vital skill of the decade.
