| 5/11/26 | ![]() Why Your Yoga Practice Won't Liberate You | Why your yoga practice isn't transforming you — and what would actually have to change for it to work.Dr. Jivasu walks through the neurobiology behind why an hour of yoga or meditation a day produces real but temporary effects, why the original yogis required 24-hour devotion to reach liberation, and the two specific Soma methods that turn ordinary modern life into the practice itself. If you've ever wondered why the peace from your morning practice evaporates by lunchtime, this episode answers it.Chapters:00:37 — Can yoga twice a week actually liberate you?02:33 — Why modern practice can only borrow part of the original tradition03:37 — The 10,000-hour rule and biological anchoring04:25 — Inner psychedelics: why the change wears off05:53 — Even a daily morning practice isn't enough — and why07:07 — What modern practitioners are missing that ancient ones had08:07 — The real meaning of yoga: linking practice to life08:37 — Passion: when your energy is divided into a hundred streams10:27 — The default mode network and constant distraction11:19 — Flow state, transient hypofrontality, and why high performers transform13:29 — Karma at every scale — personal, ancestral, universal15:34 — When passion has to become obsession18:42 — The parable of King Janak and the oil lamp22:51 — Two birds on a tree: the witness consciousness24:27 — Interoception: the 8th sense, and how to train it27:44 — Somatic personality and 24-hour self-care30:09 — Where physical yoga and meditation actually fit in32:06 — Why we want liberation in the first place — the impulse of lifeWhat you'll learn in this episode:Why short practices release "inner psychedelics" but don't create lasting anatomical change in the brainThe 10,000-hour threshold for biological anchoring, and what it means for serious practitionersHow the default mode network and flow state research from Steve Kotler's Rise of Superman explain why most practice fails to integrateThe two-part method — passion and obsession — that the original yoga texts called the difference between routine and transformationInteroception, the "8th sense," and how somatic awareness becomes a 24-hour practiceThe classical parable of King Janak and the oil lamp — and why it's the Soma model for living an ordinary life with extraordinary attentionAbout Jivasu:Jivasu is a physician, author, and the founder of Soma Path.

| 4/27/26 | ![]() Life Is A Mirror | Most people think life is happening to them.But what if everything you experience… is reflecting something back to you?In this episode of Soma: The Art & Science of Living, we explore the idea that life is not random—it is relational. Every thought, emotion, and reaction is shaped through interaction with others.Life Is a Mirror: Why Everything You Experience Reflects YouAnd through that mirror, we come to know ourselves.This conversation breaks down: • What life actually is (beyond philosophy and belief) • Why you cannot define yourself without others • How emotions like anger and frustration are shaped through relationships • Why most of your reactions come from your past—not the present • How the subconscious controls your life (and how to become aware of it) • Why relationships are the most powerful tool for self-understanding • What it means to develop a healthy identity through the body • How awareness transforms reaction into insightThis is not about fixing others.It’s about learning to see clearly.🔗 Explore Soma Path🌐 Website: https://www.somapath.org🎓 Somatic Yoga Teacher Training: https://www.somapath.org/online-somatic-yoga-teacher-training🧠 Free Somatic Meditation (Monthly): https://www.somapath.org/service-page/free-monthly-somatic-meditation?referral=service_list_widget🎧 Listen / Watch▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SomawithJivasu🎙️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0laJc85nHxYzgYyFEK1OfO?si=c569b62584d84f65🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/soma-the-art-and-science-of-somatic-living/id1547156988📲 FollowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jivasumdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjivasu💗 If This ResonatesStart by observing your reactions.That’s where the mirror begins⏱️ Chapters:00:41 - Introduction + The Real Question01:06 - What Life Actually Is07:21 - Life as a Mirror Begins12:20 - Why You Can’t Exist Alone14:04 - Emotions Only Exist Through Others16:06 - Relationships Reveal Who You Are17:23 - Love as the Purest Mirror19:05 - Why Relationships Break Down21:31 - Social Media & Distorted Identity24:09 - The Subconscious is Running Your Life25:48 - Why Reactions Keep Repeating30:03 - Awareness vs Reaction35:02 - Healthy Identity (Where It Starts)37:18 - Expansion Beyond Self38:06 - Final Insight | — | ||||||
| 4/13/26 | ![]() You Don’t Need to Escape Life to Transform | Most approaches to growth tell you to step away from life.Withdraw. Simplify. Renounce.But what if transformation doesn’t require leaving anything behind?⏱️ Chapters00:00 Introduction01:10 The problem with modern materialism04:30 Why traditional systems are losing relevance07:00 The body as the entry point10:00 Transformation in daily life13:00 Is there an end point?In this first episode of Soma: The Art & Science of Living, we explore a different entry point — one grounded in the body, in biology, and in the reality of modern life.We look at why traditional systems are becoming less relevant in today’s world, and how scientific and economic materialism have shaped the way we think, live, and pursue fulfillment.Instead of rejecting this reality, Soma works through it.This conversation breaks down: • Why chasing more never leads to lasting fulfillment • The difference between external success and internal access • How the body becomes the gateway to awareness and transformation • Why you don’t need to escape your life to reach your potential • What real transformation actually looks like (and why it never ends)This is not about belief, philosophy, or adopting a new identity.It’s about learning to access what is already within you — through direct experience.⸻🔗 Explore Soma Path🌐 Website: https://www.somapath.org📩 Join the newsletter: https://www.somapath.org (footer signup)🧠 Free Monthly Somatic Meditation (Live): Check classes🎓 Somatic Yoga Teacher Training: https://www.somapath.org/online-somatic-yoga-teacher-training⸻🎧 Listen / Watch▶️ YouTube (Full Episodes + Clips) 🎙️ Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0laJc85nHxYzgYyFEK1OfO?si=1qOU298jQgarWTSDycSWXw🍎 Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/soma-the-art-and-science-of-somatic-living/id1547156988⸻📲 FollowInstagram: @somapath / @jivasumdYouTube: @SomawithJivasuLinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/jivasu-md⸻🔥 If This ResonatesIf you’re beginning to see things differently, start with the body.Join a class, explore a program, or simply begin observing. | — | ||||||
| 1/24/24 | ![]() S6.Ep.16- Signs of kundalini awakening- Talks with Jivasu | An Awakened body is expressed in the following ways. The body becomes fully functional, with all senses and systems operating at their peak. The first and second centres of conscious energy are awakened, leading to an awakening of the body’s cells, a transformation and liberation of the body. Changes in nature and the universe are felt in the body, which is in communion with biological nature as well as the material universe. The body of a Natural being is affected by everything that happens on this earth and beyond. The experience is primarily one of physical sensation rather than of feeling. In a Natural being, life and death become one. But this is not the end of our own journey towards truth. Truth is boundless and so the journey continues…according to our nature. | — | ||||||
| 1/24/24 | ![]() S6.Ep.15- Seventh Chakra Part 4- Talks with Jivasu | But by arriving at the seventh chakra we are reborn through our womb of potentiality into wholeness, wellness, freedom and individuality. After our physical birth, we walk into the human-made world and become conditioned. But after the rebirth at the seventh chakra, we discover the center with which we were born, before we became socialized. At the seventh chakra, we find our unique individual place in the world and look and feel from our perspective. Our centre is our mind-body which functions as an integral unit rather than as a result of the chaos of the fragmented and scattered pieces of life. We enter and swim in life’s river with ease, moving toward the unknown and mysterious ocean of existence | — | ||||||

| 1/24/24 | ![]() S6.Ep.11- Sixth Chakra Part 2- Talks with Jivasu | Traditionally the sixth chakra has only two petals, which is deeply symbolic, and its colour is white, which is also significant. It is quite a transition from the complexity of the sixteen petals of the fifth centre with its vibrant blue colour. Suddenly the complexity and many-sidedness of the centre of reason and science give way to the simplicity of the two dimensions of existence, namely life and death. | — | ||||||
