n the world of spirituality and personal
Igrowth, Sahara Rose stands out as a
prominent figure. As the host of the
immensely popular spirituality podcast, Highest
Self, and a three-time best-selling author, she has
garnered a significant following. Beyond her
literary achievements, she is the founder of both
the Dharma Coaching Institute and Rose Gold
Goddesses, further cementing her position as a
multifaceted entrepreneur in the field.
Deepak Chopra, a renowned figure in the realm of
spiritual wisdom, has acknowledged Sahara Rose
as "a leading voice for the millennial generation
into the new paradigm shift," underscoring her
impact and influence on a broader audience.
At her core, Sahara's mission is to guide others in
discovering their dharma, their soul's purpose,
and unleashing their fullest expression. Her vision
is to collectively raise the planet's vibration,
fostering a harmonious and enlightened world.
With a diverse skill set that includes being an
Ayurveda expert, inspirational speaker, DJ, and
dance enthusiast, she approaches the spiritual
journey with an emphasis on joy and fun,
believing that true service arises from embracing
one's highest joy.
Sahara's Ayurvedic Journey
At 21 years old, Sahara faced health challenges,
weighing only 87 pounds and experiencing
hypothalamic amenorrhea. Doctors warned her
that her body was entering perimenopause and
predicted osteoporosis by her 50s, along with the
inability to have children. They prescribed various
medications like hormone replacement therapy
and antidepressants, but Sahara believed that the
root of her imbalances required a deeper
approach. Instead, she embarked on a journey of
self-healing, which eventually led her to discover
Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian health system that
focuses on the mind-body connection. As Sahara
learned about the Vata Dosha, which represents
the air archetype, it felt like she was reading her
own diary. Not only did it explain her health
issues, but it also described her personality
perfectly. Embracing this wisdom in her life,
Sahara noticed significant changes. Her sleep
improved, her mind became less restless, and she
gained clarity in her thoughts. She felt grounded,
peaceful, and was finally able to digest food
without experiencing pain.
For two years, Sahara immersed herself in
Ayurvedic studies and started considering how to
update this ancient system for modern times.
While traditional Ayurveda discouraged the
consumption of raw foods due to factors like
contaminated soil and lack of refrigeration in
ancient India, Sahara saw that modern nutrition
emphasized the importance of fresh raw fruits and
vegetables. As a result, she reformed certain
Ayurvedic recipes to accommodate contemporary
lifestyles and dietary practices.
Path of Transformation
Sahara writes books that others wish they had
during their own journeys. When she needed to
heal her body, she delved into studying Ayurveda,
which later inspired her to write “Idiot's Guide to
Ayurveda" and "Eat Feel Fresh." Her pursuit of
sharing spiritual wisdom faced challenges, as she
was initially rejected by 30 publishers. However,
she persevered and ended up with two best-selling
books, both with forewords by Deepak Chopra. As
people expressed curiosity about her success, she
decided to pen "Discover Your Dharma."
Currently, Sahara is working on a book that
chronicles her personal journey towards
sensuality and embodiment after her divorce. She
views life as a source of valuable lessons, which
she passionately transmits to others through her
teachings.
Empowering Others to Awaken, Raise
Consciousness, and Fulfill Their Dharma
Sahara always knew she was born on this planet to
help others, but she wasn't sure how. Her parents
had experienced tough times, like being refugees
and immigrants, facing child marriage, female
suppression, and political imprisonment. Because
13

of this, she felt it was her duty to save
theworld.
During her younger years, she
dedicated herself to volunteering with
organizations and leading Human
Rights campaigns as the president of
her local Amnesty International
Chapter.She also studied International
D eve l o p m e n t . T h r o u g h t h e s e
experiences, she came to understand
that changing the world required
changingpeople'sthinking.
Instead of commanding people, she
believed in raising their awareness and
consciousness. If people could become
more aware,they would naturally make
better decisions,creating a fairer,more
abundant, and beautiful world for
everyone. This realization led her to a
mission to awaken others to the
wisdomwithinthemselves.
Sahara believed that none of us are
here by chance; each person has a
purpose.Shethoughtthatbeinghereat
this specific time meant you were
meant to raise consciousness and be
part of a big shift. Your unique gifts,
strengths, and interests are not
accidental; they carry the purpose of
yoursoul,yourdharma.
Embracing the Human Experience
Sahara created the podcast she wished
she had - one that was down-to-earth,
relatable, inclusive, and enjoyable. For
her, spirituality is not about
disconnecting from the body but
about fully embracing it. She believes
that we are in these human bodies for
a purpose, and the journey to higher
consciousness is through
embodiment.
In her podcast, Sahara chooses topics
based on the meaningful
conversations she has in her own life.
She invites guests who have been
both teachers and peers in her
journey. The podcast is unfiltered and
intentional, making it a huge success
over the past 7 years. Listeners
resonate with its raw and purposeful
approach to spirituality and life.
Modern Ayurveda
Sahara's passion lies in making
Ayurvedic nutrition accessible,
relatable, and relevant for the present
time. She recognizes that the world
has changed significantly since the
ancient Ayurvedic era, which dates
back 5000 years. Back then,
refrigeration did not exist, so the
recommendation in Ayurveda to avoid
food cooked more than three hours

ago made sense as it would spoil.
However, in today's world, adhering
strictly to freshly cooking every meal
right before eating and discarding any
leftovers would be impractical and
hinder people from fulfilling their
responsibilities and life purposes
(dharma).
To address this challenge, Sahara
promotes the idea of meal-prepping
as a helpful way to incorporate the six
tastes of Ayurveda into one's diet. By
preparing a daily Six Taste Bowl,
which she shares recipes for in her
book "Eat Feel Fresh," people can still
enjoy the benefits of Ayurvedic
principles without compromising
their daily routines and commitments.
This approach allows for practicality
and convenience while embracing the
wisdom of Ayurvedic nutrition to
maintain balance and well-being in
modern life.
Five Stages of Spiritual Discovery
and Fulfillmen
Sahara offers practical guidance for
individuals on their journey to
discover their dharma through five
stages:
Stage 1: Self-Awareness
Ÿ You realize there must be more to
life than what you've been
experiencing.
Ÿ You sense a deeper purpose but
have no idea where to start or
what it is.
Ÿ The need for a radical change
becomes apparent, spurred by pain
or feeling numb.
Ÿ This marks the planting of the
seed of dharma.
Stage 2: Self-Improvement
Ÿ You make it a mission to better
yourself physically and mentally.
Ÿ Adopting practices like yoga,
reading self-help books, and
meditation.
Ÿ Letting go of habits that no longer
serve you.
Ÿ The seed of dharma is watered
during this stage.
Stage 3: Awakening
Ÿ Your focus shifts from self-
improvement to self-discovery.
15

body and mind, but a soul in a
body with a mind.
Ÿ Exploring spiritual topics and
practices like yoga, meditation,
and energy healing.
Ÿ Your worldview undergoes a
profound shift, and you engage in
healing work.
Ÿ The seed of dharma begins to
sprout.
Stage 4: Higher Consciousness
Ÿ You openly embrace your spiritual
beliefs and practices.
Ÿ Sharing your journey with others,
even on social media or with
friends and family.
Ÿ Realizing that your current job
may not fully align with who you
are becoming.
Ÿ Continuing your spiritual growth
through various means, like
shadow work and ancestral
healing.
Ÿ Understanding that life is
happening for you, not to you, and
taking control of your
transformation.
Ÿ The dharma sprout starts to grow
during this stage.
Stage 5: Stepping Into Your Dharma
Ÿ Embodying your true self, you
connect with your deeper purpose.
Ÿ Recognizing your sacred mission
and transitioning from a self-
centered to a service-oriented
mindset.
Ÿ Your spiritual practice becomes a
foundation for healing humanity
and the world.
Ÿ Transforming any aspect of your
life that doesn't align with your
mission.
Ÿ Understanding that you are a
channel for cosmic wisdom and
serving the world through your
highest joy.
Ÿ This is when you truly embody
your dharma and the truth of who
you are.

Ancient Wisdom Unveiled
Sahara introduces a special deck
steeped in the wisdom of the Vedas,
which serves as a visionary tool to
access your yogic intuition. Each card
in this deck represents different
aspects of yourself, portrayed by
sacred figures and concepts deeply
rooted in yoga and Ayurveda. The
cards are adorned with beautiful
ethereal artwork featuring original
ancient statues, allowing you to gain
insights into your present and receive
guidance for the future. By using this
deck, you can connect with your inner
wisdom and unlock a profound
understanding of yourself. It's a
unique way to tap into the timeless
knowledge of the Vedas and enhance
your spiritual journey.
Unleashing Authenticity
One of Sahara's biggest challenges
was overcoming the fear of haters. She
was concerned about how people
would perceive a spiritual author who
also enjoyed twerking, DJing, and
having fun. She felt pressured to fit
into a specific box, thinking she had
to wear all white and mala beads to be
taken seriously. However, she realized
that wasn't her true self. When she
embraced her full expression and
shared her authentic self, her
audience actually grew.
While some people couldn't handle
her twerk vibes, Sahara decided not to
dim her light for those who haven't
discovered their own authenticity.
Embracing embodiment became a
cornerstone of her work, and she
recently introduced the Certified
Embodiment Coach Certification at
the Highest Self Institute. Through
her journey, she learned the
importance of staying true to herself
and accepting that not everyone will
resonate with her, and that's okay. By
being authentic, she attracted the
right audience who appreciated and
connected with her true self.
Transparent and Inclusive Creative
Process
Sahara believes in sharing from her
heart and honoring her transitions
while taking people along on her
journey. Instead of waiting until the
final product is complete, she includes
her audience in the process. She offers
a behind-the-scenes look at
everything she creates, whether it's
hosting her Highest Self Weekend
event or working on her new album.
By sharing these experiences with her
audience, nothing feels like a sudden
16 OCTOBER 2023

surprise. People understand the
dedication and devotion that goes
into all of Sahara's creations. This
approach fosters a deeper connection
with her followers as they get to
witness the passion and effort that
she pours into her work. Sahara's
transparency and inclusiveness create
a sense of community and allow her
audience to feel a part of her creative
journey.
Sahara is thrilled about creating her
first-ever album, which serves as a
transmission focused on sensuality
and embodiment. She firmly believes
that the future of communication lies
in sound, as it allows us to feel on a
deeper level through our bodies
compared to thinking through the
mind. This album is a beautiful fusion
of her Persian lineage with
inspirations from African, Brazilian,
Latin, and Arabic cultures, all infused
with intentional meanings and
messages to help listeners embrace
their fullest expression.
In addition to her album, Sahara is
also excited to continue DJing around
the world. She brings her unique
Shakti Twerk movement to audiences,
celebrating tribal beats, global
grooves, and ancient melodies, all
wrapped up in an ecstatic dance
experience. For those interested in
experiencing her DJ sets, they can find
them available here.
Guidance for Spiritual and Personal
Development
Sahara's advice to individuals on their
spiritual and personal development
journey is to honor the creativity that
flows through them. Recognize it as
the divine gift bestowed upon you.
Don't wait for permission or approval
from anyone, including your parents,
to create what you are meant to be
and do. Embrace your unique calling
and purpose.
By saying yes to your dharma and
following your creative instincts, you
will unlock a path of unfolding and
growth. The more you embrace and
nurture your unique expression, the
clearer your purpose will become.
Trust in the process, and let your
creative energy guide you towards a
fulfilling and authentic life journey.
