In this episode of The Awareness Podcast, Susan Telford sat down with Heena Vasani to discuss Heena’s life and work using Dr Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry. Heena had a kidney transplant 27 years ago, a topic she discussed with Jenny Beal here: https://hub.centerforawakening.org/blog/episode87 In this conversation with Susan, Heena shared how she almost refused the transplant, because of a deep seated sense of unworthiness. In finally accepting the donated kidney as a priceless gift, only made possible the death of another young woman she never met, Heena stepped onto a path of nurturing herself on all levels. Heena talks about divine motherhood and how motherhood became her primary spiritual path and led her to examine all her previously undigested childhood trauma and the effects such trauma has on the body and mind. Heena also speaks passionately about her work using Compassionate Inquiry and describes what happens in a session. Finally, Heena describes the 4-part workshop she is facilitating for Center for Awakening in May, entitled Compassionate Inquiry: A Meditative Approach.
