And what does it look like to build a life, a family, and a teaching practice rooted not in doctrine but in direct, lived experience?


In this episode of Walking the Path of Love, Charlyn sits down with Connie Miller, a yoga practitioner since 1970 and the creator of Yoga Rhythmics, the dancing path of yoga. Connie was part of the original Kripalu community in Summertown, Pennsylvania, where she raised four children while keeping one foot at home and one foot in the ashram. Over five decades, she has taught thousands of people across every kind of setting, and today she also works as an intuitive energy healer, weaving together Eastern wisdom, modern neuroscience, and a lifetime of embodied practice.


Connie opens the conversation with a grounding centering practice, inviting everyone present to arrive fully, feel the beating of their heart, and rest in the extraordinary electromagnetic frequency of love that lives there. From there, she and Charlyn move into a rich exploration of what it really means to walk a householder path and how a weeklong fever at 106 degrees became one of Connie's most profound encounters with Swami Kripalu's presence, a story she has rarely shared with anyone.


One of the threads that runs through this whole conversation is the practice of pausing, not as a passive waiting, but as an active opening. Connie shares the now-legendary cellar window story, about how standing with her frustration and breathing instead of forcing led to a solution appearing in a way she still cannot fully explain. That moment, small and domestic as it was, became a living demonstration of everything Babaji taught about trust, receptivity, and inner guidance. And it is the same thread that moved through the vision she received in the meditation room, giving birth to Yoga Rhythmics entirely. The pause is when something beyond what we already know can come through.


Episode Takeaways:

  • A heart-centered opening practice to help you arrive fully present (05:34)
  • Connie's rarely shared story of her near-death fever and feeling Babaji's presence carry her through (09:35)
  • What the householder path really looks like: raising four children while living steps from the ashram (17:08)
  • Teaching from lived experience, not from ideals, and why that commitment changed everything (22:29)
  • The cellar window story: what happened when Connie stopped forcing and actually paused (25:08)
  • The vision that gave birth to Yoga Rhythmics and why Connie waited years to tell anyone (31:26)
  • Self-observation, the monkey mind, and how knowing yourself opens the door to genuine connection (33:01)
  • Intuitive energy healing and working with brain networks to rewrite the stories keeping us stuck (37:57)

]]> Being Guided on the Path of Love Being Guided on the Path of Love Wed, 24 Jun 2026 10:00:00 GMT 51:32 6a300a776edea1d9abd9a294 true https://shows.acast.com/walking-the-path-of-love/episodes/being-guided-on-the-path-of-love 6a300a776edea1d9abd9a294 615444ff72a41e001233b90f being-guided-on-the-path-of-love full 2 What if the right guide could help you remember who you truly are and deepen your spiritual practice? How does receiving mentorship shape not just our own journey, but how we show up for others?


In this episode of Walking the Path of Love, Charlyn sits down with Grace MacLeod, a pillar in the Kripalu lineage with direct experience learning from Swami Kripalu during his transformational time in the States. Grace is a mentor, guide, and devoted practitioner who works with others on relationships, creative expression, and spiritual remembrance. Her work is deeply rooted in the practices and teachings she received from the lineage, and she brings a gentle, compassionate approach to helping others remember their soul's purpose and walk their path with confidence.


In this conversation, Grace opens our time together with a beautiful centering practice and blessing, guiding us into a place of remembrance and presence. She shares her profound experiences meeting Swami Kripalu and the wisdom she gained during those pivotal moments. Together with Charlyn, they explore how receiving guidance transforms not just our personal practice but also how we expand and deepen our ability to serve and teach.


Sometimes the moments that shake us most are the very moments inviting us back to ourselves. Grace reminds us that when a wave rises inside, when fear, emotion, tension, or uncertainty seem to take over nearly all of our being, there is still a steady place within us capable of observing with compassion and breathing through the experience. The practice is not to fight the wave or pretend it is not there, but to soften, stay present, and trust that what arises can move through us and return us to peace. As you move through your days, perhaps the invitation is simply to notice: Where can you create a little more space, a little more breath, a little more love for what is happening inside of you right now?


Episode Takeaways:

  • A centering practice and blessing to arrive fully present (04:19)
  • Grace's profound encounters with Swami Kripalu during his time in the States (09:24)
  • The role of experiential knowing and trusting your direct experience on the spiritual path (16:34)
  • Follow the breadcrumbs: learning to trust guidance one step at a time instead of needing the whole plan (19:07)
  • How receiving spiritual mentorship transforms your own practice and expands your teaching (25:00)
  • Why integration matters more than “fixing” ourselves and how unprocessed reactions remain in the body (33:26)
  • Understanding different mentoring approaches: couples work, spiritual guidance, and service (42:00)
  • Love's eternal message: You are cherished, safe, and never alone (49:25)
