In this episode of the Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire podcast, Meena Puri explores the transformative journey of emotional healing. She delves into the significance of addressing emotions such as regret, resentment, and forgiveness in this process.
Emotions are not just emotions, they are everything that is nonphysical in our being. Made up of emotions, thoughts, beliefs, trauma, experiences past and present â the sum total makes up this field of energy. When this energy is sick, body gets sick.
When we donât consciously learn how to navigate and manage our emotional world, our emotions then run our life subconsciously.
Emotions are how we navigate our inner and outer world, they are the inner compass guiding us. When we get triggered, feel off, it is nothing to ignore rather to take guidance from.
Upcoming emotional healing retreat: Oct. 4th, 5th, 6th. 12-1pm EST on Zoom, free to attend. Register Here https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIudO-orDotHt2nDWP6Kvzz7YS1Vjn-IxCG

In episode 78 of "Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire," Meena Puri explores the idea of living from the inside out. Meena encourages listeners to realize that the answers we seek are found within us, and we can only stray from ourselves for so long before we return home.
We all must come to the realization that the answers we seek are only found inside. We can only stray from ourselves for so long. Sooner or later, we must return home to ourselves.
I can say this with conviction.
Being born and raised in a family in India - a place of rituals and norms and the only guide seemed to be what others would say. Keeping quiet was applauded, being a martyr was admired. My journey was to shed all of it. It wasn't easy, but it was so worth it.
I often wondered who these other people were only to realize that it was nothing but a mere reflection of our own lack of courage - others were a mere crutch.
The joy and success we seek is born out of freeing our soul from the conditioning and programming so we can live a life that is internally driven and not externally imposed.
Humanity is at cross roads where the old ways are at odds with the new vision. Our soul will choose light.
A new day is dawning! Can you sense that?
I had no idea when I created Inner Compass Club, that my vision would expand so much more than what I began with. I started with emotional healing, but it's going to go way beyond that. It's a movement, an affirmation, and a commitment to oneself to live from the inside out. The true compass is within each one of us.
Inside the Inner Compass Club Membership, you will find the teachings, meditations and community. New content will be continuously added - whether it is nutrition, lifestyle, relationships, spirituality, evolution and ascension. My vision is to free all of us from the bondage of programming in all areas of our lives.
We can either chase or we can find.
End the chase! Turn Inward!

In episode 77 of the Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire podcast, titled "Trauma and Love," host Meena Puri explores the profound connection between trauma and love.
Meena emphasizes that trauma and love are two sides of the same coin. When we have unresolved experiences that we haven't fully processed or metabolized, our longing for love often becomes a chase. We tend to seek love externally, disconnected from the love that resides within ourselves.
The unprocessed experiences occupy our subconscious mind and drain our energy, similar to undigested food. However, Meena suggests that by metabolizing our experiences, we can transform them into their highest expression, which is love. Metabolizing involves fully processing and integrating our past experiences, allowing us to release their hold on us and tap into the highest energy of love.
Join Meena Puri on this enlightening episode as she explores the intricate relationship between trauma and love, providing valuable insights and guidance on how to reconnect with love within ourselves.

In episode 76 of the Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire podcast, titled "FREE Will - is not FREE," host Meena Puri explores the concept of free will and the factors that often hinder us from exercising it fully.
Meena highlights the fact that we often forget our inherent ability to make choices and take action in our lives. We can leave a painful relationship, quit a job that no longer serves us, or disengage from conflicts. While this may seem straightforward, many of us find ourselves unable to take these steps. Meena poses the question of why this is the case, suggesting that it may be due to fear of the unknown, lack of courage, or a combination of various factors unique to each individual.
Although we possess the freedom to pursue our desires, there is always a price to be paid. Meena emphasizes the importance of understanding what price we are willing to pay and encourages listeners to embark on an exploration of their motivations and reasons behind their choices. It is not about judgment, but rather about gaining insight into our decision-making processes. Meena asserts that what truly matters is not necessarily the choice we make, but the underlying why behind it.
Join Meena Puri on this thought-provoking episode as she delves into the complexities of free will and encourages listeners to delve deep into their motivations and desires.

In episode 75 of the Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire podcast, titled "Mind Body Connection - It's Not Just a Cliche," podcast host Meena Puri examines the powerful correlation between the mind and body.
It's widely accepted that a single thought can create an arousal or physiological response, but what effect do the countless thoughts we have throughout the day have on our physical symptoms and ailments? By exploring the relationship between thoughts and physical sensations, Meena sheds light on the insightful question of what thoughts may have created these physical experiences.
As challenging as it may be to navigate our non-physical inner world, Meena emphasizes that this is a meaningful process that her membership program focuses on. She encourages listeners to ask themselves what thoughts may have led to their physical symptoms and understand that this process is worthwhile and can lead to profound inner growth.
To those interested in working individually, Meena offers her individual programs and suggests that listeners join her Inner Compass Club membership program to embark on their self-exploration journey and learn about the mind-body connection.
Join Meena Puri on this episode to gain a deeper awareness of the connection between thought and physical sensations and step into a life of holistic well-being.

In episode 74 of the Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire podcast, titled "Uniting Head and Heart: The Heart is a Smarter Brain," host Meena Puri delves into the internal struggles stemming from the constant battle between the mind and heart.
Our minds, egos or mental flow, are wired to operate solely from thinking, analyzing, and seeking external answers. However, the heart represents a deeper knowing, integrating the subtle parts of us that contain wisdom and pivoting from a place of love rather than fear.
Meena suggests that the ego is not wrong but needs direction, similar to a toddler. Its role is to keep us moving forward, but the goal is to align our mind with the heart or what she calls "Heart Based Ego." The heart has the capacity to integrate all parts of our being, shifting from living solely through the ego to thriving in a state of whole-being engagement.
Meena encourages listeners who are struggling to ask themselves how much of their difficulties come from this internal head-heart battle. She asserts that all our struggles are internal but acknowledges that navigating the inner world is challenging without proper guidance. Engaging experts can serve as a catalyst to facilitate this journey and lead individuals to deeper knowing, from which they can learn to live.
Join Meena Puri on this episode to realize the significance of unifying the head and heart in achieving a life of authentic and holistic living.

In episode 73 of the Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire podcast, titled "6 Differences in Healing and Talk Therapy," Meena Puri dives into the distinction between deeper healing work and traditional talk therapy.
This episode was inspired by a concerned mother who feared her daughter might be retraumatized through therapy, based on past experiences. Meena reassures the mother by explaining her approach to healing.
Meena highlights the following differences between healing work and talk therapy:
Understanding the Bigger Picture: When discussing the past, the focus is on gaining a deeper understanding, asking significant questions, and recognizing our energetic contributions to our experiences. This shift in perspective directs attention to personal experiences rather than dwelling on external factors.
Healing Beliefs, not Just Behaviors: The goal of healing work is not to merely change external behaviors but to address the underlying beliefs that drive those behaviors. By focusing on internal transformation, individuals experience genuine change from within.
An Organic Healing Process: Healing does not adhere to a fixed schedule. When we commit to healing ourselves, what needs attention and what we are ready to address naturally emerges.
Therapist Consciousness: The level of consciousness of the therapist significantly influences the healing process. Meena emphasizes that her work is not merely a career but a calling, rooted in her own deep inner healing journey.
Oneness of the Body and Mind: Healing work recognizes the inseparable connection between the body and the mind. Physical symptoms can be manifestations of unhealed traumas, urging us to pay attention for true healing to take place.
Moving Beyond Behavior Management: Healing work goes beyond managing behaviors; it involves deep healing that ultimately removes the need for constant management. This allows individuals to flow with ease and align with their truest nature.
Join Meena Puri on this eye-opening episode as she uncovers the distinct features of healing work and its powerful impact in transforming lives.
