As both a student and a teacher I'm huge into sharing and learning in a group environment. We can all learn from each other. I love it!
To that end, please let me share with you my response to a fellow member here in the Blissverse who wrote me the simple question: "Hi do you listen to Sadguru?" (If this topic floats your boat.)
To which I probably made his eyes water from the deluge of my reply. Hahaha! Sorry, I'm a long-format, gal, through and through. 😊
.................................................
No. I do not listen to Sadguru. I learned of him from a fellow patient at an Ayurvedic treatment center in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. https://www.vaidyagrama.com/ She asked me to watch a short talk he gave on her phone, which I enjoyed.
(Sadguru's main site is in Coimbatore.)
The talk I saw he was at a university and said something I use in my own teachings...."Trees are a part of the human breathing apparatus and should be cherished and cared for as such. Not talked about in terms of lumber or financial terms." Loved the reframing...I've never seen trees the same way again!! So that little bit I've seen of him is nice, and a good friend of mine gets emails from his organization that she enjoys and sometimes will share a meme or two with me.
A spiritual teacher who has the karma to have HUGE followings like that in India has the power to do an amazing amount of good in the world, and for that I am grateful that he has some decent things to share. (As with all things, some are corrupt as the day is long. Sigh.)
But Sadguru and those big cats are a very different ball of wax then the type of teachers who I attract into my life, personally. I connect more with visceral, accessible, brilliant, in touch with day to day life while being adept at sharing ancient wisdom teachers who keep the purity, depth, and detail of ancient teachings while fording out into the world to shine their light far and wide. I need/want teachers who reach into my very psyche with me, travel through the layers, and gift me with new ways of seeing and being in the world. Sadguru, due to his HUGE reach, is more likely to touch people on the surface, a bit like a psychotherapist. So, not bad!! But not what I give much of my time to in my journey.
Also, Sadguru seems pretty entrenched in the modern culture conditioning that so many people are starting to question at the moment, so in that way I would encourage anyone to take all the lovely bits from him that help them on their personal development journey, while not mistaking Sadguru for someone in their life who "has all the answers," like he's a god and not just another cat out there saying his piece. (Unfortunately in modern culture we can get all screwy about "believing" everything a spiritual teacher says. They're just people like you and me. Pretty much.)
I could give an "ah, ha" kind of take on Sadguru and how to appreciate him for his strengths and not get caught up in any weaknesses from the perspective of the material in the BlissLife™ class in the My Bliss Path™ program....learning self-possession and self-awareness through view training stages one through three....if you take that class, let me know and we can have some fun looking at Sadguru's teaching and students through the views lens.
Thank you for reaching out.
Love, Unmani
P. S. Do YOU have any questions for me??? I'd LOVE that, if you do. Personally, I'm not great at coming up with soundbites, cool sounding short talks, and memes. I have always been inspired by people who come to me, ask me questions, and then I have a ball sharing what I know or spending some of my time finding higher quality information than I have and sharing that. (Hello, what do you think being a mediator-attorney is all about?? Or a Chief Happiness Mentor? It's all the same to me, just slightly different problems to solve for.)
Wanted to share a video played at the end of the UK Column News which left me in tears of joy and laughing and so grateful for the opportunity to have this beautiful light in my life this morning.
Thank you to our artists, to our children, for their open hearts and music, and to celebrating love and bravery.
Please press play and enjoy!

One of the things about being a Chief Happiness Mentor is the mentoring part. For me, when I made the commitment to become a mentor, I committed to dropping the curtain between the polished professional face I show in my services like the My Bliss Path™ program courses, and my personal, private Self. I made a commitment to show others how I show up in real time, in my real life.
How does someone like me, who knows exactly who they are, completely loves themselves and their life, knows exactly what their purpose is in the world, and is committed to changing the world one loving act at a time actually show up when the rubber meets the road?
Well, Loved Ones, please join me by watching this video of what I have to say about how to respond to a crisis with basic sanity when I’m in the midst of a six-hour crisis.
To give you some context: I LOVE my truck! Love it! I give my truck offerings in gratitude for taking me where I need to go and doing so with style and intense reliability. Any of my ...
Hello, Loved Ones! Please join me in reflecting on one of the most important concepts to grasp and work with here in the Blissverse: Question Everything.
This is a skill! This is hard! But looked at in a certain way, it's not only something you can achieve with ease and grace in your life, it's something that will increase your capacity to enjoy life. Promise!!
Also, please read my blog post of the same title. In the blog, I write completely different stuff on the same subject. This week's blog contains helpful ways to reframe the experience of "being wrong," into an experience of the depths of wisdom available to you and the joy of learning and growing.

Happy Friday, Loved Ones!! Attached is a 30-minute guided meditation which was shared by a group who scheduled a December 2021 Solstice Worldwide Simultaneous Meditation I participated in.
Human consciousness is a force for changing the world. Joining with others in vision, the more powerful we are. Together.
May this meditation inspire you as much as it did me...may it feed your heart as much as it did mine....may is sooth your spirit as much as it did mine....may it bring you joy.
In love!! 😍
Thank you for the opportunity to share this with you.
Love, Unmani

I'm just posting here in The Blissverse to reach out to @MonikaBrown who decided to include her in her Local's queue.
First off, thank you for being interested in a project I worked on for four years with all my heart and soul. I appreciate you!!
Second, I want to let you know that despite all of those years of work, Bliss Revealed never found her people, and she passed away in 2023. I miss her a lot, but I know that everything that has happened, even her demise, is something sweet and meaningful somewhere and somehow. But that is beyond my ken...
@MonikaBrown662, if you spend any time going through The Blissverse's archives, I hope that your find what your heart is looking for...I wish you well in all ways on your journey.
Thank you. :-) Love, Unmani ❤
Hey, Loved Ones,
How are you today? Are you looking good, feeling good? 😉
I've posted a blog that I thought you might like to read (2 minute read-time). It's a gentle reminder to us adults that ideas we're motivated to share with beloved children in our lives are worth reviewing from time to time.
Are your mindset and thoughts working for you?
Please take a few minutes to remember one way to think of all of this Life stuff.....as something to be embraced, experienced, and ENJOYED.
With love.
Thank you for reading this. Please have a beautiful day being you, with you, wherever you are, with whatever you're doing.
