Rajni and I chat about our experiences on the spiritual journey through the lens of both science and ancient wisdom. We share our stories and perspectives around the concept of evil eye, or nazar. We cover topics such as cerebral regions in relation to our external reality, evaluating our belief systems in relation to what we’re aiming to attract, the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind, and how to truly detach from our manifestation and holistically embody what we intend to attract.
