A WHOLE MONTH OF MEDITATION -

We’ve been navigating so much darkness. And Chaos. And managing to keep our trains on their tracks. We manage our work, we manage our families, we manage our bodies.

It's Not Time to Calm Down. It's Time to Wake the F**k up.

New Age spirituality says: The only problem is that you’re too stressed out. Just calm down, breathe, meditate, and you’ll see everything is fine.

But let’s be real. Everything is not fine.

The world is literally burning. Climate collapse. Rising authoritarianism. The ongoing genocide in Gaza. Su***de, addiction, and loneliness tearing through our communities. And closer to home? Maybe your relationships are on fire. Maybe your body is on fire with stress.

Maybe your own heart feels like it’s burning down.

Or you’re stuck. Your dreams aren’t “coming true”, and you don’t seem to be able to get off of Neflix long enough to make them happen.

The New Age says; just calm down, just accept yourself, it’s all good.

No. It’s not all good.

Don’t calm down.

Wake the f**k up.

Your house is on fire.

Also, yes calm down.
Actually — calming down does have its place. Our nervous systems are fried, and we need tools to regulate. But the deeper truth of yoga, ta**ra, bhakti — the whole stream of authentic spiritual practice that we’re teaching over here — is not just to calm you down. It’s to wake you up.

Wake up to your state of affairs.
Wake up to what’s really happening in your relationships.
Wake up to the reality of a world that desperately needs our courage, our clarity, and our service.

Wake up. And then be better.

We’re calling in the crazy MFs who get this and are ready to step up and help all the other crazy MFs who are getting ready to step up.

Be Better
When I say “wake up and be better,” I don’t mean it in some shaming, moralistic way. “Better” isn’t just a vibe or some influencer’s hot take. It’s codified in our oldest wisdom traditions like the Bhagavad Gītā: generosity, fearlessness, humility, self-restraint, compassion.

It’s not about being “good.” It’s about being aligned and strong. It’s about evolving.

It’s about being awake.

The Call
So please — don’t just use your practice to calm down. Use it to wake the f*** up.

Wake up to the grief of the world. Wake up to the fire in your own heart. Wake up to the call of your soul to become more than you’ve been.

The stakes are too high for us to sleepwalk in the glow of incense and breathwork and playlists.

This is the moment to be awake, alive, and burning with the kind of love that transforms.
