In this episode, Yoga teacher Bernardino (Bala) Machado shares ancient yogic wisdom on healing, overcoming suffering by accepting reality, regulating the nervous system, releasing trauma stored in the body, and remembering our true nature beyond narratives. The conversation explores advanced but practical teachings like grasping less in life to allow more abundance to flow effortlessly.
