Our Personal Shawshank

Personal Redemption

A prison sentence can be a devastating experience- or a path to redemption. In this conversation, we have a frank discussion about the realities of prison life, and how a difficult circumstance can be a catalyst for personal transformation. The purpose of Chakra Free Radio is to broadcast unconditional love to all beings in all points of space and time.

Our Personal Shawshank

Spiritual lessons don’t have to come from a book or a sermon. In this episode, we discuss how the film The Shawshank Redemption conveys deep spiritual truths about hope and redemption, and how to avoid being victims of the mental prisons we create around ourselves. The purpose of Chakra Free Radio is to broadcast unconditional love to all beings in all points of space and time. Our key message: unconditional love is not something that requires reading thousands of pages of spiritual texts, or meditating for hours in a cave; it’s something all of us can express in our daily lives.

The Downsides Of Being A Billionaire

We live in a society that glamorizes extreme wealth, but there are more downsides to being a billionaire than the headlines suggest. Paranoia, isolation, and constant comparisons against other wealthy people can make for an uncomfortable existence, despite having tons of money. Not to mention- that private jet is a lot higher risk than flying commercial. The purpose of Chakra Free Radio is to broadcast unconditional love to all beings in all points of space and time. Our key message: unconditional love is not something that requires reading thousands of pages of spiritual texts, or meditating for hours in a cave; it’s something all of us can express in our daily lives.

Your Salary Doesn't Define You

We frequently judge others (and ourselves) based on income and wealth. In this episode, we discuss how a person’s salary often has no bearing on how much value their job is actually providing to our society. An important fact to remember: Buddha and Jesus got paid nothing for spreading love and enlightenment through the world. The purpose of Chakra Free Radio is to broadcast unconditional love to all beings in all points of space and time.
