What’s the meaning behind the name? Fearless self leadership

In the Lion’s roar refers to the deepest sense of happiness, independent of external factors.

It is a fearless and courageous way of being, which is not dependent on good things happening. The name refers to the authenticity of having faith that our heart can be with whatever happens to us.  Standing in the lion’s roar refers to the inner virtue of confidence and innate self-trust, which permits us to extract every last drop of joy from the moments of our life.  We are free to live our lives to the fullest without anxiety, instead of dreading the next perceived threat.

​​

People spend their lives tensing against that which may never happen; Discounting the future because something may be too much to handle or because good things cannot possibly last.  When we trust in ourselves we can live in the present, neither replaying the torturous past nor worrying about the future. This allows us to be fully present and cherish each and every moment.  Being unattached to the outcome, open to both the good and the bad, awakens the lion’s roar. It is being open to the aliveness, change and loss which is the very essence of this existence.
