The Gratitude Podcast

Swami is the #1 bestselling author of The Ayurveda Encyclopedia: Natural Secrets to Healing, Prevention, & Longevity.  When Swami was very young both of his parents were tragically killed in a car accident. He transcended this adversity in profound ways through discovering the light within.  Swami has been teaching meditation for over four decades and has several wonderfully enlightened books to his credit.  He presented to the White House alternative medicine commission and has spoken to international medical schools including Johns Hopkins.  In 1990 Swami was recognized as a monk by his guru in the Himalayas, and was recognized as a natural-born shaman by shamans in the Amazon Rainforest.  He was also born with intuitive/mediumship gifts, and certified through the Lisa Williams school. Swami’s life mission is to help others realize their dreams and live the joy-filled life they deserve, to create peace in our world.  To get the word out his first screenplay is being made into a Hollywood movie — a comedy about listening to your heart and trusting to be yourself around others.

Such a great reminder for us all of what actually matters. They definitely put things into perspective and help us make decisions that lead to fulfillment. Some are really surprising, but we can totally identify we them when we hear them.  I also share my perspective on them and what I believe we can do to make sure we won't be experiencing them before our passing.  Here's the link to the book:  https://www.amazon.com/Top-Five-Regrets-Dying-Transformed/dp/140194065X For a rating and/or a review of The Gratitude Podcast, click here: http://georgianbenta.com/iTunes Become a supporter of this podcast:https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/supportExperience more abundance on georgianbenta.com/abundanceAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This is one of my favorite writings, I've translated it from Romanian, but the source is in the Hindu tradition (don't remember the exact source). It's deep, it's inspiring and every time I read it, it gives me a higher perspective on life. I hope you will resonate with it as much as I did.  I've only recorded the writing itself so it's more pleasant for you to listen and re-listen to it as much as you feel like it. :)  Please share it with the people you feel will enjoy it, it might brighten their day!  Become a supporter of this podcast:https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/supportExperience more abundance on georgianbenta.com/abundanceAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

You may have asked yourself this question as well... I believe that JP Sears' perspective on our uniqueness, our weirdness,  gives us some amanzing clues regarding our purpose, what we should be doing in this world and if you take the time to do some introspection, you might find some beautiful gems inside of you that you might have forgotten about, gems that can shine a warm colourful light onto the world and have a positive impact.  Become a supporter of this podcast:https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/supportExperience more abundance on georgianbenta.com/abundanceAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
