Wisdom Within
Wisdom Within with Sonya Lyn is a soul-stirring podcast inviting you on a transformative journey home to your divine nature. Each episode is a foot on the spiritual path to self-realization of unity through love, light, and liberation while unraveling the truths of who we are and our purpose for having a human experience. Through (spiritual practice) sadhana we unite our limited self to our unlimited universal self awakening to the purpose and truth of eternal consciousness and bliss. This can be a sanctuary for those following the innate nature of seeking inner peace, and deep connection joy, and bliss. If you are in a life transition, experiencing one of life's pains and sorrows, or simply questioning who you are, and what your next purpose is, and ready for true fulfillment after realizing the fullness has never come from the outside world, then pause, take a breath and welcome to your journey within.
Many blessings,
Love and light

Thought Prison
I mentioned last week about my this is my brave speech. It started with how my painful prison sentence led me to my power, passion, and purpose.
Thought Prison by Ram Dass
Wherever there is attachment
Associated with it
Brings endless misery.
– Gampopa, The Jewel Ornament of Liberation
“Your ego is a set of thoughts that define your universe. It’s like a familiar room built of thoughts; you see the universe through its windows. You are secure in it, but to the extent that you are afraid to venture outside, it has become a prison. Your ego has you conned. You believe you need its specific thoughts to survive. The ego controls you through your fear of loss of identity. To give up these thoughts, it seems, would annihilate you, and so you cling to them.
There is an alternative. You needn’t destroy the ego to escape its tyranny. You can keep this familiar room to use as you wish, and you can be free to come and go. First you need to know that you are infinitely more than the ego room by which you define yourself. Once you know this, you have the power to change the ego from prison to home base.
Consider awakening on a usual morning. The alarm clock rings, you come out of sleep, focus enough to think “Alarm clock,” and reach over to turn it off. Your thoughts might go something like this:
“It’s time to get up. I have to go to the toilet. It’s warm in here. Do I smell coffee perking? I could still sleep for ten more minutes. Oh, I forgot to do the dishes last night. I need to go to the toilet. Gee, my mouth tastes awful. I could still sleep for ten more minutes. What was I dreaming about? Who was that person in my dream? Wonder if it’s warm outside. Boy, I’m hungry. What’s that sound in the other room? I really need to go to the toilet. God, I wish I could stay in bed all day.”

A being whose awareness is totally free, who does not cling to anything, is liberated.”
