What does it truly mean to know yourself? To live in alignment with your purpose, love, and consciousness?
In this episode of The SELF (R)EVOLUTION Podcast, host Breanna Rae Blaney sits down with her mentor and renowned Ayurvedic doctor, Dr. Nibodhi, to explore the power of Vedic philosophy, Ayurveda, and yoga as tools for deep transformation. Dr. Nibodhi shares his own self-revolution—from childhood teachings about the soul to a profound awakening that changed his life forever.
They discuss how understanding your true nature can help you build wealth, deepen relationships, and cultivate inner peace. Together, they unpack the four goals of life (Purusharthas), the power of self-inquiry, and how to shift from doing to being.
