In this powerful conversation, Swami Satchidanand shares practical wisdom on spiritual growth and how to stay grounded without getting pulled into the chaos around us. Her core teaching? When you judge something, you energetically connect to it and disconnect from your higher self. The key is rising above judgment while staying aware. She offers a straightforward practice for self-awareness: stop 3-10 times a day and write down what you’re thinking. This simple act reveals patterns you need to work on. And here’s something fascinating—thoughts carry 4 volts of electrical energy, speaking them amplifies that by 10x, and writing them down magnifies it 50x. That’s why she teaches starting every affirmation with “God” or “Source,” and if you do this consistently for 21 days, your subconscious will start repeating it automatically. She also shares medicine wheel teachings using vowel chanting with drumming (A for clearing the mind, E for emotions, I for the physical body, O for childlike innocence, and U for divine connection), along with the transformative power of fasting—something she’s done extensively, including multiple 40-day fasts. What really stands out is her teaching on the wounded inner child. When conflict arises, she says to ask yourself “how old do I feel right now?” Because adults don’t actually fight—it’s the wounded children inside people that clash. Her forgiveness work focuses heavily on healing relationships with parents first, since that’s where our lineage energy originates in this lifetime. And she teaches a profound distinction: discernment lets you see things clearly without judgment, while judgment binds you energetically to what you’re judging. On grief, she shares something most people never learn—the healing power of moaning (mouth closed), groaning (mouth open), and full-out wailing to release pain stored at the cellular level. After working with masters like Joseph Rael and Swami Paramanand Ji for decades, she’s learned the ultimate lesson: you’re not the doer, you’re the vessel. That’s when real miracles happen. Her radiant presence throughout this conversation shows what years of this deep inner work can create. https://revsallyperry.net ————————- Swami Satchidanand, Healing Lifetimes, Rev.
