Living in Not-Knowing with Jenny Beal and Heena Vasani: Life is Our Teacher

In this episode, Jenny's guest, Heena Vasani describes how her mother abandoned her at a very young age, and Jenny and Heena discuss how the trauma from that experience led to inner work over many years to find resolution and healing.

Heena describes how her spiritual journey started in her early 20’s with a profound glimpse of her true nature that occurred when she was about to undergo a kidney transplant.

Jenny and Heena also discuss:

• The importance of fully facing the feelings that are a residue of trauma.
• How the fact that we don’t choose our thoughts means that we don’t choose our conditioning, and our parents didn’t choose their conditioning either. That understanding removes a huge amount of anger and blame.
• How motherhood provided Heena with the lessons she needed for her non-dual understanding to become fully integrated with her everyday life. Children are very good at pushing our buttons and they instantly detect any lack of authenticity.
• The uncertainty of life.
• The freedom that comes with living in not-knowing.
• The joy of continuing to learn and discover.
