113: Part 13/12: Derik Says "Turn Down the Volume": How to Build a Relationship with God Series Janelle and Andrea interview Derik, a yoga instructor who offers a majorly meta-view on spirituality. They discuss the difference between religion and spirituality, why "we're only human" is a phrase with the wrong idea, the concept of "Pancha Kosha," the five layers of human existence and the paradox of it all. He asks: Who would we be if we turned the volume down on everything we're told? You'll hear: -Why yoga is a user's manual for realization  -When the personality equation stops working -The dissolution of self in the collective -Why we are both the wave and the ocean -Spirituality isn't always about that "aha" dramatic moment -How his spiritual journey started at Elephanta Island near Mumbai -Derik's resonance around the word "God" -How America is less moored from spirituality than so many cultures Find Derik Eselius online at Denver Yoga Underground - Yoga Teacher Training & Workshops -------------- We're Andrea and Janelle--two midlife mavericks sharing openly about our own experiences--messy AF and no regrets----with marriage, divorce, polyamory and pleasure. You'll hear from relationship experts, meet real life Bravehearts and get intimacy skills.  Truth: When we're brave enough to ask for what we want, honor our  boundaries and have the hard conversations--with partners, friends, family and, most importantly, ourselves--magic happens and happiness ensues. If you're seeking permission to create a new map for relationships and want to feel less alone along the way, we got you. With glitter and radical acceptance, Janelle & Andrea.
