Description:
Nicholas Wade Kimps explores faith, fairness, and the unseen orchestration of life through the lens of Ayurveda and yoga philosophy. This DIVOted Talks episode unpacks societal masks, divergent forces, and the healing power of seeing yourself clearly.
Show Notes:
In this reflective episode, Nicholas Wade Kimps weaves together Jewish New Year blessings, social commentary, and yogic wisdom to explore how life’s forces shape us. With references from Jupiter Ascending to yoga sutras, he examines how privilege, suffering, and perspective influence our ability to see both the forest and the trees.
Nicholas invites listeners to reflect on masks—those worn by individuals and societies—and how Ayurveda and yoga help us dance with divergent and convergent forces rather than collapse under them. He speaks candidly about victimhood, superiority, and the pressures of modern life, grounding it in the reminder that existence itself is purpose.
At its core, this episode is a call to self-study, compassion, and courage. By meditating deeply and processing what lies beneath the mask, we step into the flow of wellness, community, and truth.
