Nuance Versus Newspeak: How Language Shapes Our Reality

Shakti Sita is back with an important episode about language. There are many buzz words that have deliberately been used to move the masses during this time, such as: “flatten the curve” “quarantine” “social distancing” “travel ban” “contact tracing” “I can’t breathe” “new normal.” These are excellent examples of what George Orwell calls Newspeak, in his dystopian novel that eerily resembles 2020, “1984.” The goal of Newspeak is to eliminate nuance in order to divide people. This is the time to stick together and be conscious of our word choice.

Life Goes On, Even In Lockdown

After a very much unplanned hiatus, Shakti Sita is back with her key lessons from the global lockdown. It has been a time to grow, make tantric malas (3 months later), and start telling better stories than the one that George Orwell brought into the world.

Lessons From The First Week of Opening a Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Studio

I recorded this episode exactly one week into opening The Pallas Kundalini Yoga & Meditation studio in Dobbs Ferry, NY. I share my initial takeaways and lessons from the first week - from taking responsibility for everything to setting boundaries to prioritizing my own practice. And of course teaching. Thank you all for being part of this journey with me and for the love and support getting the doors open! - Shakti Sita "The first sign of a Teacher is that you are contained, you are content, and you are very continuously dependable. Your behavior reflects it."

Becoming Fearlessly Creative

One of the major keys to creativity is remembering that no one actually cares - because they are super caught up in their own lives. So stop using what they "might" think as an excuse to not create. Just go do your thing. And if they are thinking about you - great! Use that energy however it comes. The paradox is: if you WANT people to care - meaning you want to leave a legacy and do something majorly creative or great with your life - you have to NOT care what other people think and instead care more about actually impacting people and your community.
