#33 Living Your Sacred Calling with Shreans Daga

What if the life you're trying to build isn't waiting for more effort — but for a different state of being entirely? Today I'm joined by Shreans Daga, spiritual teacher and vice-chairman of Pyramid Valley International, one of the world's largest meditation spaces. He shares how a sudden loss at 19, a tuberculosis diagnosis, and one 40-minute meditation changed the entire direction of his life — and how that inner shift eventually became something far bigger than he ever planned.

What would you do if a doctor told you "inoperable, incurable, terminal," and gave you four months? Mark Ruegg was handed that diagnosis: Stage IV pancreatic cancer, spread to his lymph nodes and liver. We go deep into what happened when he refused to accept that story — the daily meditation practice, the identity shift, the moment something exploded from his spine at 3am, and what his scans showed two weeks later. Mark shares the seven ingredients in his "Healing Recipe" and why belief is the dough that holds it all together.
