Austeen speaks on the following in this podcast...

The conflict of who you are trying to be versus who you really are.

-Tapas/ Discipline

-The 4 main components of discipline.

-Inspiration-

-Motivation-

-Accountability-

-Structure-

Discipline often asks us to forsake immediate pleasures. This can be a hard concept. It’s hard to see that by removing immediate small pleasures from our life that are not the habits we want to embody, we are giving ourselves greater pleasure, joy and happiness for our future selves.

Podcast #8 Outline- Creating Inner Sanctuary

This promised podcast is here!

Austeen shares how to create inner sanctuary for yourself. She speaks on what practices establish inner sanctuary, where it is at in your body and how to cultivate it in meditation.

Inner sanctuary is created when you get right with yourself, when you have spent enough time inside you don’t fear what you might find. Or you are able to be with the fear of what you might find.

This requires practice like building a back bone segment by segment, so does creating your inner sanctuary.

Practice: Core values, fucking around and finding out, noticing, awareness, mindfulness, mirror, meditation, practice doing the things alongside the emotions you have.

Disentangle the idea that others' opinions are right.

Create a space that is your purest and most aligned self.

Imagine it as an actual place in your body.

Here is the link to Austeen's Online Yoga Academy referenced in the podcast.
