Kelli Hansel Haywood : Sacred Catharsis

Episode 15 features an interview with Kelli Hansel Haywood. In the beginning she gives us a little background on her story and how the places and cultures we are raised in shape us. This leads to a discussion about the ‘persona’, the masks we wear and how we are often different under the surface. Next, she spends some time explaining chakras, which is a big part of her book, "Sacred Catharsis”, and how they build the framework for self-inquiry. We explore how she was able to find transformative power in pain and how yoga has affected and benefited her on her journey. She gives some advice to someone who may be in the beginning stages of self-exploration and offers some concepts that have helped her along the way. Towards the end, she reads us an excerpt from her book and shares some of her other published works.
