Jealousy & Yoga (solo)
This episode delves into jealousy, envy, and insecurity from a yogic perspective. Jessica distinguishes jealousy (fear of loss) from envy (desire), linking both to a sense of lack and ego (Maya). She references Patanjali’s sutras and introduces a framework for responding to others' jealousy: compassion for the unhappy, friendliness with the happy, joy towards the virtuous, and disregard for wicked energy. The discussion highlights how social hierarchies, wealth, beauty, youth, and social media fuel comparison and insecurity, but yoga can help us to understand the soul’s wholeness, dharma, and karma. Practical advice is given for managing jealousy, including recognizing patterns, setting boundaries, and using inner work like meditation and gratitude for personal growth.
