About this listen

Return to the Essence Podcast is an invitation into the inner sanctuary of our essential being. Regardless of living in a world full of distraction, compromise, fear and forgetfulness, the deepest reality of our consciousness is always, already pure, free and radiant.

As the immersion into listening deepens during the podcast, there arises a recognition of a tangible quality of peace that is timeless, beyond concept and understanding. Returning to the presence of our essence, evokes a quietening of the mind, as our heart overflows with joy and a remembrance of life's purpose.

Welcome the sounds of nature as a source of nourishment with the unique frequency sound waves emanating through the podcast, and the calming tone and resonance of the speakers' voice, bringing you into a deep listening immersion. Episodes are recorded on the Fraser Coast of Australia, on private property, surrounded by rainforest and bush, filled with the lush sounds of birds, crickets, cicadas and more.

There is an undercurrent of sound healing instruments softly playing throughout, composed by Shivallah and the closing music played and recorded by Liana Perillo https://www.lianaperillo.com and Shivallah Dharma https://www.shivallahdharma.org/podcast

    Poem used as an introduction for the 3rd episode:

    “There is a Soul within the Soul. Seek it out. There is a Treasure in your mountain. Seek it Out. A mystic in motion, if that's what you are, don't seek out there; seek inside.” - Rumi (Sufi Mystic/Poet)

    Welcome the sounds of nature as a source of nourishment with the unique frequency sound waves emanating through the podcast, and the calming tone and resonance of the speakers' voice, bringing you into a deep listening immersion.

    Episodes are recorded on the Fraser Coast of Australia, on private property, surrounded by rainforest and bush, filled with the lush sounds of birds, crickets, cicadas and more.

    You will hear the song of Kookaburra followed by a Whipbird opening the podcast. A Medicine Flute spontaneously plays towards the end during the recording, adding a serene quality of solitude to the ambience.

    The podcast’s ending is brought to a closure by a previously recorded music track, "Heavenly Peace", composed and recorded by ⁠Shivallah Dharma⁠ on Harmonium and dear friend... ⁠Liana Perillo⁠ on Harp.

    This first episode is a 5-minute introduction, briefly explaining what the Return to the Essence Podcast channel is about and giving you a little taste of... "Listening... Receiving... Simply Being"

    During each following episode, the fundamental theme is primarily about learning how to transcend the tendency of being habitually trapped in a cycle of forgetfulness. As we dedicate our lives to returning to the essence, we awaken our consciousness and remember our authentic being.

    Om Shanti Shanti Shanti, Let there be Peace right here, Let there be Peace right now. Om Shanti
