Stop Trying to Be Perfect: Sanna on Miracles, Self-Acceptance, and Finding the Divine | Rocklaz #117
Episode Description
Have you ever felt like you’re constantly "beating yourself up" to become a better version of yourself? In this soul-stirring conversation, Sanna, a veteran Art of Living teacher from Bulgaria, flips the script on modern spirituality. She dives deep into a hilarious yet liberating lesson from her guru about "accepting your inner donkey," explaining why the pursuit of perfection often blocks our connection to the Divine.
Sanna shares raw, unfiltered stories—from her childhood search for the purpose of life to witnessing "baby miracles" in the presence of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. She discusses the intense emotional cleansing of the path, her experiences teaching across Europe, and a harrowing first-aid rescue that taught her what it truly means to be a "divine instrument." Whether you are struggling with "stuckness" or seeking a deeper sense of service, Sanna’s bubbly energy and candid wisdom offer a refreshing roadmap to living with a high prana and an open heart.
