Your Desires Are Not Your Desires

Tune into this exploration of the deeper nature of desire — not the fleeting and distracting cravings that we're bombarded with in our culture, but the soul-aligned, values-rooted desires that stir something deeper in us.

Drawing on the body’s wisdom, the poetry of Kahlil Gibran, Vedic philosophy, and nervous system resilience, Rohini re-frames desire as Nature’s evolutionary intelligence moving through us — a current to be stewarded, not owned or controlled. She invites us to start noticing the difference between compulsive wants and the authentic impulses that connect us to Life’s unfolding.

This episode touches on trauma, cultural conditioning, and the countercultural practice of stewarding our authentic desire as devotional work. Rohini also shares how these practices are at the heart of her Root + Rise membership community, which is now open for autumn enrollment.

If you’ve ever felt torn between longing for more and fearing your desires, this episode offers a grounded, Nature-aligned perspective — one that empowers you to become a steady, compassionate vessel for the desires that want to root and rise through you.
