True to Yourself: your soulful companion for the journey home to yourself.
True to Yourself with Ananta Ripa Ajmera is a practical spiritual path home for anyone navigating anxiety, burnout, insomnia, heartbreak, or disconnection from purpose — because the hero's journey we're all on was never about reaching a place, but remembering who we truly are and living true to that self in how we eat, love, rest, and rise. Drawing on 15 years of lineage-based monastic study in Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta, and Divine Feminine wisdom, alongside today's most advanced integrative and energy healing practices — work embraced by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Frank Lipman, and shared at Stanford School of Medicine, NYU, and UNICEF — Ananta guides listeners through the same 9-step chakra healing journey mapped in her bestselling, 8-time award-winning book, The Way of the Goddess (bit.ly/goddess-way).
Each week explores one chakra through:
* Ritual — Ayurvedic practices for energy, digestion, immunity, and fertility
* Reflection — lessons and archetypes for your Divine Feminine Hero's Journey
* Release — healing anxiety, insomnia, trauma patterns, narcissistic abuse, and codependent cycles at the root
Nine chakras. Nine weeks. One continuous spiral home to yourself.
New episodes weekly.
Press play and remember who you are.
