What if the greatest change happening in our world isn't political, technological, or economic, but a shift in consciousness?

Asha Nayaswami explains why we're living through a transition from an age focused on matter to an age centered on energy and consciousness. She explores why we incarnated at this time, how ideas become reality, and why the quality of our consciousness matters more than ever.

Filmed at the Festival of Consciousness in Barcelona, Spain (July 2026).

A couple of nights after my son crossed over, he whispered in my ear excitedly “I’m pure energy Mom!” ❤💔

As Yogananda says,
You're the Light which created this dream illusion and my illusion fled...🎉 🕉

Wow, so much of this resonated with me because of what I understand from the 2027 Human Design prophecy. I know the two teachings have nothing directly to do with each other, but I really enjoy noticing when very different practices seem to point toward a similar pattern. For me, that makes the underlying idea much easier to see.

I also loved what you said about not necessarily being able to perfect the world, but being able to work on perfecting ourselves. As a health coach, I see this constantly. So many people unintentionally hinder their own progress by focusing enormous amounts of energy on what they cannot control, trying to get a spouse, family member, friend, coworker, or even the world around them to change. Meanwhile, the places where they actually do have influence, their own behaviors, habits, mindset, attitudes, responses, and choices, can get far less attention. There is something incredibly powerful about recognizing, “This part is not mine to control, but this part is mine to work with.” That shift alone can change so much.

i think the yugas explain so much once you learn about them. the world makes more sense, even as dark as it gets.

You’re always magnificent. This, though, was/is a master class by a brilliant teacher. Namaste 🩷

In a rising age, we might not be able to imagine the barabarism you describe at the time of Jesus ' death, but we are seeing it everywhere. Our neighbors & friends are being brutalized, tortured & killed at the hands of the regime that has become the US government, the government that never really acted on the ideology that all are created equal. I believe we all have a responsibilitu to heal that collective karma through learning the lessons we need to learn.

I hear this and used to have this kind of excitement in my 20’s. I pursued spiritually and became a therapist. But now in my 40’s, I’m just so tired. All I want to do is rest.

There are 7 Billion bodies. But there's only ONE Being, it's looking through all the eyes. I'm looking at myself in another body.
This isn't a life-
It's a dream, and the dream is called I Am Separate.
Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Awesome words of wisdom she speaks.
When you harm another, you literally harm yourself.
When you take from another, same.

At my mom's funeral service, I was deeply inward focused while looking at her body. My crown opened, energy came into my body and fit itself into my limbs, and the inner voice spoke. It said, "Deb, it's your mom. I'm inside of you."

I feel so fortunate to have found your channel; your tender wisdom (or wise tenderness? :)) leaps off the screen.

This is what the Indian scholars are saying that studies their lineage and sacred texts: In Sanātana Dharma, Kali Yuga is part of a much larger system of cyclical time.
The four Yugas are:
Satya Yuga — 1,728,000 years
Tretā Yuga — 1,296,000 years
Dvāpara Yuga — 864,000 years
Kali Yuga — 432,000 years

Together, these four form one Caturyuga of 4,320,000 years.
Seventy-one Caturyugas form one Manvantara. According to this traditional reckoning, we are presently in the seventh Manvantara, called the Vaivasvata Manvantara, and within it we are in the Kali Yuga of the 28th Caturyuga!

Only a little over 5,000 years of this Kali Yuga have elapsed, out of its total 432,000 years. (The Mahābhārata is placed at the transition into this present Kali Yuga, that has taken place about 5,000 years ago.)
The Yugas themselves are therefore only one layer within much larger cycles of time involving Manvantaras, Kalpas, and the lifespan of Brahmā.

So ladies and gentlemen do not unclip your seatbelts yet. We are hardly out of first gear.
