S05E02 - Parenting
Hello, and welcome home to the Solace and Shine Podcast. In the beginning of this episode, Sanyasi Śivani has a little giggle and admits that parenting is an uncomfortable subject for her. However, upon an audience request, she shares her personal perspective of parenting in our current times. Many of us know that our generation grew up in a time where boundaries were taught by unkind behaviours and much of this unkind behaviour has been tightly interwoven through our society. A lot of our generation are parents now, and with intentions of not repeating the same patterns, end up giving the children a lot of control, which creates unnecessary anxiety for them.
The key to parenting in 5D reality is entrainment, and knowing that our children are already living within the 5D, the invitation is to set boundaries from a place of kindness and to model the behaviours we desire to see in our children. If you have any wisdom about parenting that you want to share or have any more related questions for Sannyasi Śivani, we would love to hear from you.

S05E01 - Purpose

And her answer might surprise you. She summarizes for us in a straightforward way that our purpose is to experience each moment and in the face of all possibilities to always choose love. Our purpose is to embody an open-hearted presence of love. Sounds simple, right? Listen closely as she imparts a deeper explanation that will ease your mind and its forever questioning, and give you another way into your heart. Enjoy!

This is part one of the October 2022 Roots and Wings Satsang and the people attending were on fire, as one would say, with their burning questions. The first three questions in this first part of the satsang were about: free will vs determinism, blockages for receiving love and boundaries vs rejection. It is always amazing to us to see how the teachings apply to big questions and little everyday questions, and the more we get to bring the teachings into our consciousness and into every day lives we become the richer in authenticity of our experience of life!

Guided by this teaching, we have learned to be conscious of which density we are engaging with, and it has been empowering to know how readily available this skill is to everyone. We are confident that the examples in this lecture will help you to integrate this teaching and empower you to create a reality that allows you to feel the inner peace that comes with perceiving the frequencies of the fourth density.

S04E04 - Yoga Ecology For 2024
Hello Beautiful Souls! This episode for us was a quick and easy capsule to digest, and a sweet reminder to live and experience the teachings. As Sannyasi Śivani speaks the word ecology I experience a feeling in my body. I can’t explain what it is, all I know is that I distinctly experience a feeling in my body. And as she speaks more about humility, gratitude and listening to birds, deer, land I experience my heart doing something, I suppose you could say it is expanding, maybe it is glowing? It does take a certain amount of quiet in the mind to allow the experiences. This is a bonus of living at the sacred grounds of Ishtadev Niwas; I am living in a space that helps you face your mind, befriend it and then quiet it so it can observe subtler experiences of energy.
This short lecture on Yoga Ecology was recorded at the end of 2020, and as always, Sannyasi Śivani's lectures are timeless. The longer you spend with the teachings from Niwas, the more of a chance you have of embodying the wonders of being human on Gaia Sophia Mother Earth who is always speaking to you.
We would like to present an opportunity to expand your experience this summer with the Dragonfly’s Song New Earth Capsules and the Land’s Breathe Solstice Retreat. Dragonfly’s Song is a 4 week online program; it is a virtual sanctuary to unlock the secrets of self-discovery, wisdom and connection.

S04E03 - Venus Retrograde and Lion's Heart - Can You Sit In A State Of Humility And Know Your Worth?
Hello Beautiful Souls! We have a poignant and inspiring episode for you. This was a bonus lecture from Roots and Wings recorded during a Venus Retrograde in Leo Season, July 2023. Even though we are not currently under those same energies, we promise the teachings in this lecture are precious and evolutionary in this moment!
It is a call to know thyself and Sannyasi Śivani discusses the importance of self-inquiry in the exploration and evaluation of how much do we know about our individual value. She is, basically, giving us permission to know ourselves, to come home to ourselves, to care, to love and honour our unique perspective and wisdom. It is a comfort and truly centring strength, and when we offer that gold to the divine she says the divine rushes in and amplifies those internal riches beyond our wildest dreams. We hope this inspires you in your own self and discovery of your beauty and gold.

S04E02 - Radical Responsibility - Practice To Empower Yourself To Be Present In The Moment and Life Becomes Gold
Hello beautiful beings of light! We are back! This is Chaitanya, and we are coming to you from our beloved Niwas. Welcome to the second episode of our 4th Season of the Solace and Shine Podcast! Pavitra and I are the cheerleaders and Niwas enthusiasts! We are absolutely privileged to bring you these teachings that bring us together to produce this podcast. You should hear us in the process; we gush about this and aahhhhh about that when we get to review each teaching and produce it into an episode.
If you want to leap forward in your evolution, this episode will launch you! What we are offering you here is the first lecture from the 2023 Roots and Wings Program. For Pavitra and I and many others, Roots and Wings has been a touchstone over the past 3 years. Honestly, we have experienced so much growth in ourselves and awareness of the frequency that we are offering into the world. It is like magic. We have peeled back layers of social conditioning to find who we are. Our appreciation and enjoyment of life in the 3D world has increased with every mountain or tree we gaze upon, bird we hear, breeze we feel on our skin and breath we take. Each new moment and interaction is a mirror to where we are on the inside.
This is the lecture that launched us into 2023. Śivani-ji shares the importance of taking radical responsibility for our reality. As we discover the privilege that is living in the 3rd Dimension; getting to be part of it all, she encourages us to stop disempowering ourselves to external factors and encourages us to change from a state of doing, which is the basis of the materialist paradigm, to a state of being, so we can focus on meeting each moment with love, kindness and gratitude, which expands us into the 5th dimensional reality. Do we have the fortitude and community support to radically take responsibility for our frequency in each new moment?

S04E01 - Relationships On The Path - Walking The Spiritual Path Alone, Together
Hello beautiful Souls! We are back! This is Chaitanya, and we are coming to you from our beloved Niwas. Welcome to the first episode of our 4th Season of the Solace and Shine Podcast! Pavitra (my podcast partner in light) and I are the cheerleaders. We are the Niwas Enthusiasts and we are privileged to bring you the teachings coming through. You should hear us when we are in production; we gush about this and aahhhhh with understanding about that, as we gain another chunk of wisdom to apply to our daily lives.
And so, without further ado, on to our first episode. Here Sn. Śivani lays out a straightforward and tangible understanding of how we can walk the spiritual path, which is a solitary one, together with our significant other knowing that we have come together to heal similar patterns.
As we listened, we laughed with Sn. Śivani as she acknowledged, with great humour, that being on the spiritual path with a significant other can challenging and at the same time the experience can be rich with opportunities for you to embody the teachings of witness, non-identification, friendliness, compassion, empathy and kindness.
Often our significant others are very good at triggering us, We love Sn. Śivani’s wording on this: “You have patterns that are complimentary points of growth.” So our task is to witness our emotional reaction when their patterns are coming to the surface and to embody the teachings. Our job is not, what we often want to do, to point out where they are making a mistake. Our job is to embody the teachings so they can entrain to that and with love, patience and lots of hugs we can lift each other up and rise in love together.
This lecture is vibrating with very useful teachings that apply to all our relationships. We noticed how it can be applied with other family members, close friends, colleges, and everyone we interact with, really.
Complement this episode with Season 3 -Episode 7 Living from the Heart - The anatomy of an apology and you will be set with useful tools to navigate all your close relationships.

Welcome to the penultimate episode of Season 3 of our Solace and Shine Podcast.

In the conversation we learn what a starseed is, the importance of star seeds in the ascension process that earth is currently undergoing, and the challenges of being a starseed. Louise also discusses how your birth chart tells where your soul is originally from. If you are wondering why is important that we remember our galactic heritage, these words by Sannyasi Shivani couldn’t explain it better. “We need to understand that all the starseed memories are inside of us and we can use this galactic charting to give us an encouragement to harness the frequencies that are inside of us so they can help us be fully in our humanity knowing that we are in this world but not from this world.”

S03E09 - Surrender, Co-Creation and Ahimsa - Shifting Dimensional Realities
You may have heard that the Earth herself is experiencing an ascension or an evolution from 3rd dimensional reality to 5th dimensional reality, and because we are part of her, we are going with her whether we know it or not! Here, Sannyasi Sivani is offering explanation of the concepts this evolution is bringing. She explains how the Yogic concepts, practices and those that have mastered Yoga will help us in this major transitional shift that is happening. Concepts such as surrender, co-creation, ahimsa, unconditional love and sankalpa are discussed. She explains when we orientate our life force to a sankalpa beyond our own needs, desires, and expectations and instead focus on our duty that is aligned with this sankalpa, then we are co-creating with the God force that wants to benefit all. And life keeps getting more beautiful as we learn to again merge with life within nature. Enjoy this very educational lecture from Solace and Shine’s 2022 Roots and Wings Program.

Sovereign within themselves, they have come together to grow as Souls. Sivani and Paramjyoti are initiated Sannyas. They have co-founded Ishtadev Niwas Ashram upon the blessings of the Gurus of the Saraswati Lineage, which is no small feat. Their strength, emotional intelligence, determination, dedication and sattvic natures provide a divine example of what it is to live Yoga together. Now, I am a long time fan of these two so you will have to take my gushings with a grain of salt, because these two have humbled themselves to a way of life that is not easy and it pushes them to moments of creativity that makes them live life fully and completely. Their dedication to living Yoga brings a light and a love to their relationship that will echo beyond time. Their example is showing us the way to life as it was meant to be lived; and that is fully, completely soulfully embodied here on Earth. From baking bread in a wood fired oven to teaching people how to, again, live with nature, these are two people it would behoove you to pay attention to.
