Embodying Your Mystic Dog Mama with Berdhanya Swami Tierra

“The mother is in each out breath. You give birth through prana to yourself, to your state of being.” Today, you are in for a real treat as I chat with my guest, spiritual teacher, author, and mystic, Berdhanya Swami Tierra. She teaches those individuals who are sincerely interested in self-cultivation and inner mastery. Her passion and mission are in offering an uplifting and inspirational platform for the awakening of humanity. Berdhanya supports inner awakening and personal freedom through meditation, mystical teachings, self-inquiry and contemplation. In this beautiful conversation today, Berdhanya Swami Tierra and I talk about what it means to be walking the mystical path with our dogs, and how to reconnect to our own divine feminine energies and womb chakra. We talk about how the ultimate invitation of life is to be more of yourself in every moment, and how through a process of kinship, we are learning to become more of ourselves through our relationship with our dogs. Berdhanya says that to be a mother, to be a dog mother, is to be aware that we are creating each and every moment with the power of our out breath, and that through acknowledging this, we can more fully step into our role as alchemists. Berdhanya Swami Tierra has such a wise gentleness about her, and being in her presence is such a gift. Along with useful practices we can try, she also graciously offers so much for us to contemplate, including how we are connected to our dogs, to the elements and the elementals, and all the magic that surrounds us and flows through us.  Grab a cup of tea, and snuggle up with your dog, because you’re going to enjoy this one!
