S02E09 - Sovereignty - The Key to New Earth.

Hello! This is Chai, a long time student of Ishtadev Niwas, and I am so excited to introduce this episode. Sovereignty, sovereignty, sovereignty! You know you are ready to learn something when you are actively seeking it out. I have been actively seeking, listening and trying to figure out what this thing, sovereignty, is for the past two years now! And here is the explanation that I have been waiting for. Sannyasi Sivani explains what sovereignty actually is, where we can go to develop it and how important it is to have to live a life in freedom.

She explains first that we need understand what Swadhistana Chakra is and that we need to master our relationship with our emotions. Knowing that our emotions are not WHO we are and that they are simply experiences, human experiences that our ego, our filter, observes and records. And until we are able to witness and watch our emotions, we are so easily manipulated. Then Sn, Sivani explains the next thing needed to be sovereign within ourselves is that we develop our own personal, unshakable relationship with the Divine. And then she ties it all together with what has been going in the world for the past 500 years in terms of power over and how things are changing as more people come into their own personal sovereignty and make small changes that create a new reality.

So as you listen to this episode, listen for a few key words and phrases: Easy Pickens, Two Year Olds, Divine, Teacher, Queen, codependency, the word “Just”, Ego, Filter, ignorance, consistency, clarity, discipline and Gem of your being. Towards the end of the episode, Sn. Sivani gives us a story of her first experiences of Ashram and learning about her sovereignty. It is a fantastic example for all of us! Enjoy.
