Deep surrender and the 3 types of karma with Kathleen O’Brien

Mahasoma Podcast

Nov 11, 2022 Season 1 Episode 27

Welcome back podcast family!

This week we’re sharing an empowering and vulnerable conversation between two of the Mahasoma team, Laura Poole and Kathleen O’Brien.

Kathleen has a story that is both unique to her journey but also relatable for so many of you out there. Kathleen openly shares with us her experiences with health and challenges living with chronic conditions like eczema and allergies. We explore what to do when nothing is working, being your own healer, and healthy ways to relate to using practitioners to support your wellbeing. And, because it’s the Mahasoma podcast we can’t help but take deeper dive into Vedic wisdom around the two sides of surrender, the three types of karma, and we share a discourse by Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, our Guru Deva.

"This body hasn’t always been a comfortable home to inhabit. But it has also been my greatest teacher. It taught me to listen, to pay attention, to live well. Through years of fragility, sensitivity and discomfort I ended up finding strength. I have moved from from frustration to acceptance. Resistance to surrender. Weakness to resilience. I’ve learnt that discomfort is temporary and a gift of transformation - there’s no final end point here, simply a dynamic process of finding balance in each moment. " - Kathleen O’Brien
