#93 – Traveling, Seeking, and Finding Answers – with Neil and Bella

from Breaking Trail · host Balakhilya and Ruben

We sit down with our guests Neil and Bella for an inspiring journey through travel, transformation, and spiritual self-discovery. Neil and Bella share their story of meeting on an Israeli kibbutz, seeking alternative lifestyles across continents, and ultimately stumbling upon the Bhakti yoga tradition that would radically reshape their lives.  From running up and down outdoor steps to finding discipline and joy in daily routines, the conversation explores how regular practice, association, and open-hearted seeking can help anyone—from outdoor adventurers to spiritual “seekers”—find meaning and connection in a busy world. Whether you’re just starting your journey or have been walking the path for years, this warm, relatable conversation offers both guidance and inspiration for anyone looking to deepen their practice or just curious about what it means to live a more intentional, spiritually connected life. Highlights: (2:39) Regularity  (9:31) How Neil & Bella met at a Israeli kibbutz (24:27) The prophecy of the horse whisperer (37:11) Living in an ashram in Hawaii and eventually meeting Balakhilya (52:16) Use whatever inclinations and talents you have in your spiritual journey Recorded on November 23, 2022. https://linktr.ee/breakingtrail
