Hello and welcome to Living With Reality.

On this episode, Dr. Svoboda talks about the ancestors, what you need to understand about them from the Vedic perspective and how to honor them.

And this is the season for doing that.

So it's the perfect time to be listening to him.

Um, they were at Menla and there was a ...

You know, I was there playing guitar with Christian Das, but then, uh, Robert Thurman w- was there with Robert Svoboda, and so they were sort of p- you know, portraying their kind of, uh, you know, teachings, very deep teachings that they have studied.

But there was something to me, uh, so fresh about the, the, the three, uh, women in the, in the, uh, Tara Collective, 21 Taras Collective.

And I went up to Nina and I said, "You know, Nina, this could be like the Grateful Dead of the next singing thing here."

What happened to me? I mean, just making me think about how this all came about for me.

I don't know if you know Robert Svoboda.

He wrote these great books.

Sure, I do.

When we're talking about getting real, we're talking about the wisdom of karma.

We have to talk a little bit about reincarnation, which is a difficult thing for Westerners in general.

And let me read you a little something from Robert Svoboda's book, The Law of Karma.

Your progress in each life is fertilized and watered by the karmic reactions that support you and is interfered with by karmas that act against your interests.

Uh, Scott is an integrative health practitioner, educator, and pioneer, and he's blending traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, uh, yoga somatics, and evidence-based nutrition.

And Scott has over 25 years of clinical experience, including work alongside globally respected Ayurveda physician, author, and scholar Dr. Robert Svoboda.

And Scott also has studied Hatha yoga, and he pioneered, uh, yoga-based wellness programs at the Cancer Center and Hospice of Santa Barbara.

And interestingly, he's also a faculty member at the Kripalu School of Ayurveda.

... to present day.

And so that's a little bit about, you know, my background.

I should also, you know, give a lot of, of praise and thanks to the teachers that I've had, especially Dr. Robert Svoboda, who's a great Ayurvedic doctor and author.

And then, um, my main, uh, yoga teachers have been people like Eric Schiffman, uh, Shandor Remete.
