Unlocking Your Potential: Guide to Immersive Spiritual Transformation with Anjali Konojia
Welcome to Action’s Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Today, I want to talk to you about connection because it’s ironic that, in the modern world, we have the most devices, the most means in which to connect, yet we’ve created a system where it is harder to connect with people, connect with others as well as connect with ourselves than it seems like it’s ever been before. My guest today, Ashton August, her business, YouAligned, helps you connect with yourself so you can better connect with others and it incorporates so many aspects of what we all need to do in this particular period of time to have a better image of ourselves and a better connection with who we are and become better aligned with what we want our lives to be.

Anjali, welcome to the program.
Namaste. Thank you for having me.
For anyone that’s not familiar with everything about yoga, what does namaste, which I think is the first word anyone thinks about when they think about yoga, actually mean?
Really good question. Namaste has taken a life of its own but namaste literally means “I bow down to the goodness or the divine in you” so just recognizing that we all have that same potential within us, recognizing that potential in the other person. So just a little bit of humbleness to show the life that is in front of us when we bow down and say namaste.
When you say namaste, so that’s what anyone that’s heard this now can start thinking about whenever they hear or see the phrase namaste.
Absolutely.
Anjali, your program is called Travel to Transform. It’s in June 2023, 2023 is this year because it’s now January at this recording, and it’s like a two-and-a-half-week immersive experience.
Well, when I was part of the university, the higher education system, I’ve taken trips with alumni, I’ve taken trips with students, graduate students, people doing research, and not just to India but actually one of the most fantastic in terms of fulfilling trips I’ve taken is to Greece, I took a group of premed students and we worked in the refugee camps, offering some of these yoga services. Yoga entails meditation and breathing exercises as well as well as physical postures. So a lot of these folks, of course, unfortunately, have ended up on the Greek Isles from many different places being displaced. Many, if not most, are experiencing a lot of mental health issues so that has been one of the most dependent highlights in terms of taking such an immersive trip, going to help people, contributing something positive towards their life. So what is Travel to Transform? So this time around, I want to take people to India, to the Himalayas. Why? And I think you and I have a little bit of this in common, we’re interested in health, right? Mental health, physical health. This becomes extremely important in this time when some kind of consider the pandemic to be kind of sort of over,
