Soul Contracts with Johnson Chong

“Our spiritual journey is on unraveling the contracts we have made to remember why we are here.”

Summary of Episode:

Jenn talks to Asian American Johnson Chong, the best-selling & award-winning author of Sage Sapien: From Karma to Dharma, TedX Speaker, yoga, meditation teacher and shaman based in Sydney, Australia. In our conversation about soul contracts, Johnson shares with us what it was like growing up in NYC as a gay Asian American immigrant kid, discovering how theater school allowed him to go inwards and work on healing himself which eventually led him on his spiritual journey.

It’s important to share about our wounds and pains, not necessarily in a way where we indulge about them. It’s important to know that other people have been through experiences of suffering so that we can empathize and relate to them. Of course these old patterns and stories live within in but they are not me, that is part of the journey.
