Have you ever felt like your story wasn’t really yours?

In today’s powerful conversation, Harmony speaks with transformational coach and Akashic Records teacher Bhavya Gaur about the process of reclaiming your story—and your worth—from the ashes of trauma.

Bhavya shares her journey from growing up in India under the weight of cultural conditioning, through the unraveling of a toxic marriage, to creating a new life of sovereignty and spiritual alignment in Canada. Along the way, she discovered deep healing through Reiki, somatic work, and the Akashic Records—tools that helped her reconnect to her voice and her value.

This episode is an invitation to consider: What are the stories you’ve inherited, and what truth is waiting for you underneath them?

▸ What it really means to claim your worth—not as a concept, but as a lived experience

▸ The impact of growing up in a culture that values obedience and silence

▸ Learning to recognize the trauma of “being good” and the roles we’re conditioned to perform

▸ The moment of awakening that led Bhavya to leave her marriage and country with her daughters

▸ How Reiki opened the door to body-led healing

▸ Understanding the Akashic Records as a space of energetic remembrance—not fortune telling

▸ The role of service, intuition, and channeling in ethical spiritual work

▸ Why spiritual reclamation isn’t about bypassing—but about finally witnessing your truth

Bhavya Gaur is a transformational leadership coach, energy healer, breathwork facilitator, and internationally certified Akashic Records teacher. After leaving an abusive marriage and immigrating to Canada as a single mother, Bhavya rebuilt her life by reconnecting with her inner wisdom and reclaiming her sense of self-worth. She is the founder of Kindred Soulzs Academy and the author of Worthy to Be Me, where she guides others through the path of soul remembrance and embodied leadership.

What happens when you chant a mantra 900,000 times in solitude? Dr. Vigneshwar Bhat knows. This week on the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony sits down with one of her beloved teachers to explore the deep wisdom of the Vedas, the science behind mantra, and the importance of ritual precision in spiritual life. Dr. Bhat, a Vedic priest and PhD in Mimamsa Philosophy, shares his journey from a remote village in Karnataka to founding the Rishikulam International Center for Vedic Studies and Research.

We talk about how mantra works on a physiological and energetic level, what most people get wrong about chanting, and how fatherhood has become his greatest teacher. Whether you’re a seasoned yoga practitioner or someone who’s just beginning to explore the sacred roots of yoga, this episode is filled with insight, humility, and a call to deepen your practice.

• What the “limbs” of ritual are—and why they matter
• The role of breath, vibration, and precision in mantra
• Why modern yoga sometimes misses the point
• The spiritual significance of fire rituals
• The importance of selfless practice and collective benefit
• What Dr. Bhat learned from a 900,000-repetition mantra practice
• Parenting as spiritual practice

What if your biggest problem… isn’t actually a problem at all? In this enlightening conversation, Harmony and Russell welcome back longtime friend, acupuncturist, and author Dr. Jagdeep Johal. Together, they explore how unresolved threat—not personality flaws or psychological issues—drives our sense of suffering. Dr. Johal discusses his new book, Ease: Unwinding the Biology of Threat, which reframes trauma, burnout, and stress through the lens of the nervous system. From the body's threat-response system to the illusions of the left brain, this episode offers a paradigm shift: healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering your capacity for ease. In this episode, you'll hear: - Why trauma isn’t always a “big” event—it can be the accumulation of everyday stress - How the nervous system registers threat even when we’re not consciously aware of it - The three phases every cell moves through: Threat, Motion, and Ease - Why the left brain constantly lies to us—and what happens when we quiet it - The “threat bucket” metaphor and how our bodies store unresolved tension - The difference between actual safety and perceived safety - How acupuncture, spinal energetics, and spontaneous movement restore ease - Why doing *nothing* might be the most healing thing of all - How Dr. Johal’s long COVID experience shaped his understanding of illness and healing - What dogs, trees, and artists can teach us about true ease Guest Bio: Dr. Jagdeep Johal is an acupuncturist, teacher, and author who integrates Chinese medicine, somatic healing, and Buddhist philosophy. For over two decades, he’s helped clients reconnect with the intelligence of the body and restore nervous system regulation. His latest book, Ease: Unwinding the Biology of Threat, offers a refreshing, practical, and poetic exploration of trauma, healing, and selfhood. You can find him at www.drjagjohal.com.
