In this enlightening episode, featuring insights from Dr. Alok Kanojia's discussion with Steven Bartlett on 'Diary of a CEO', we delve into the profound impacts of psychic trauma, the power of mindfulness, and the journey towards emotional wellness. 

Discover how unresolved trauma, known as samskaras, shapes our subconscious mind and behaviors, often leading to harmful coping mechanisms. Learn the importance of self-awareness, self-love, and addressing inner blockages through mindfulness. 

The conversation extends to exploring fleeting pleasures, the roots of suffering, and the significance of inner dialogue in achieving true confidence and authentic leadership. 

By embracing stillness, understanding the ancient wisdom of emotional balance, and rejecting toxic energy, we can unlock the path to inner freedom and genuine happiness. 

Join us in this profound exploration of healing and self-understanding in a constantly stimulating world.
