True to Yourself: your soulful companion for the journey home to yourself.
True to Yourself with Ananta Ripa Ajmera is a practical spiritual path home for anyone navigating anxiety, burnout, insomnia, heartbreak, or disconnection from purpose — because the hero's journey we're all on was never about reaching a place, but remembering who we truly are and living true to that self in how we eat, love, rest, and rise. Drawing on 15 years of lineage-based monastic study in Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta, and Divine Feminine wisdom, alongside today's most advanced integrative and energy healing practices — work embraced by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Frank Lipman, and shared at Stanford School of Medicine, NYU, and UNICEF — Ananta guides listeners through the same 9-step chakra healing journey mapped in her bestselling, 8-time award-winning book, The Way of the Goddess (bit.ly/goddess-way).
Each week explores one chakra through:
* Ritual — Ayurvedic practices for energy, digestion, immunity, and fertility
* Reflection — lessons and archetypes for your Divine Feminine Hero's Journey
* Release — healing anxiety, insomnia, trauma patterns, narcissistic abuse, and codependent cycles at the root
Nine chakras. Nine weeks. One continuous spiral home to yourself.
New episodes weekly.
Press play and remember who you are.

010: Empath Protection: Having Healthy Boundaries as an Empath with Ananta Ripa Ajmera
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Having healthy boundaries is one of the hardest things for empathetic souls to successfully manage. We tend to put the needs of others ahead of our own, to the point where we don't even feel like it's okay to have any needs of our own. When people with domineering personalities take over us to the point of even denying our lived subjective experience, and/or what objectively happened in our lives, it's really easy for empaths to start seriously self-doubting.
Though the very word 'boundary' itself can conjure up an image of a thorny gate locking a person into a cage (that may well be full of fear), we can change the way we see boundaries by first better understanding what they are. From there onwards, everything in our lives as empaths can transform for the better, as we honor our gifts and benefit from them ourselves, to deepen our capacity for empathy towards others.
Learn in this podcast on empath protection about what boundaries actually are, how you can have 'fragrant' boundaries that can be expressed in a loving way, and how boundaries can be your saving grace on your spiritual growth journey as an empath.
