Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Episode #5 – Yoga in Panama with Feliciano Barria Alba

Welcome to Episode #5 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Feliciano Barria Alba onto the show. Feliciano was actually a part of my cohort at Nepal Yoga Home in Kathmandu, and we studied alongside each other as we worked towards our 200hr hatha/vinyasa yoga teacher training certification. 

Feliciano is from a small town in Panama, from La Chorrera. As a flight attendant for Emirates airlines, Feliciano has traveled the world. He’s been to 85 different countries so far! Based in the United Arab Emirates, in Dubai, Feliciano is quite the globe trotter. 

True to his energy, and lifestyle, Feliciano has picked up lots of skills, talents, and interests along his journey. While this episode is titled “Yoga in Panama,” we talk about a whole lot more than just yoga in Panama!

In this episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast, Feliciano and I will discuss Ho’oponopono, reiki healing, and the law of attraction!

Get ready for a fun and fabulous conversation as we go deeper than just yoga in Panama…

Tell me more about Feliciano Barria Alba

Feliciano is from Panama, though he used to live in Chile and is now currently living in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He is passionate about yoga, meditation, movies, beach and travel. As a flight attendant, he has been to over 85 countries around the world. He has a YouTube channel, Spotify and Apple podcast called: The New Normal, in which he interviewed people about their experiences during lockdown and in the times of the corona virus, as well as touching on their future plans. Feliciano is a 200hr Hatha/Vinyasa Yoga Teacher, a certified Balinese massage therapist, and a Reiki healer. Experienced in the arts of Ho’oponopono and binaural beats, Feliciano seeks to help others heal and to discover their own power to heal themselves.

What to expect in Episode #5 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast:

In this episode, Feliciano and I explore the realms of self-healing and healing others through Reiki— as we are both certified Reiki practioners. We’ll also reveal what Ho’oponopono is all about and talk about the four-steps of Ho’oponopono. Interested in positivity? Interested in the law of attraction? Feliciano cultivates the attitude of gratitude and seeks to manifest positivity in his life through the law of attraction. Then, we’ll move on to yoga in Panama! We’ll talk about Catholicism, the culture, and how yoga in Panama really isn’t a big thing yet— it hasn’t taken off! Though, we both think yoga retreats and yoga studios in Panama will surely take off  soon. In fact, Feliciano hopes to open his own holistic healing center and yoga retreat venue in Panama one day. Hopefully soon!

Favorite quote from Feliciano Barria Alba 

“Everything is in your mind, we have to know that not everything is perfect. The key is to realize that we need to be grateful for what we have in other parts of our life, material or no materials, unnecessarily that to say that it depends on everything.”

Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Episode #5 – Yoga in Panama with Feliciano Barria Alba

Lily: 00:00:05

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the wild Yoga Tribe Podcast. I’m your host Lily Allen Duenas. Together we’ll talk about the world of yoga and we’ll talk to people from around the world. Join us for authentic conversations about the global yoga ecosystem, and we’ll cover yoga philosophies and methodologies, along the way. Inhale, exhale, we’re about to dive in.

 

Lily: 00:00:43

Hello, Hello, Hello, and welcome to episode five of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast. I am so excited to welcome Feliciano Barria Alba onto the show Feliciano Barria Alba. He’s from Panama, but he used to live in Chile, in Chile and now he’s actually living in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. He and I actually met at Nepal Yoga Home in Kathmandu, back in the summer of 2017. We took our 200-hour yoga teacher training course together, and he is just such a fun person, has a bubbling energy, lovely enthusiasm, and great heart and I’m so excited to welcome him onto the show today. Thank you Feliciano for being here. 

 

Feliciano: 00:01:29

Well, thank you Lily. Thank you for that intro, it made me happy, thank you so much. 

 

How have you traveled to 85 different countries?

 

Lily: 00:01:33

Thank you. And I do want to mention something really fun, is that Feliciano has actually been to 85 different countries around the world. That’s pretty fantastic. How did you make that happen?

 

Feliciano: 00:01:47

Yeah. Well actually because of my work, and additionally because I love to travel. I think that was one of my dreams. When I was growing up, I always liked to travel the world but at that time I didn’t have the opportunity, and I didn’t know how to do it but it was only a dream. Then my first job… one of my first jobs was in a local airline. I was working in an office, but I had the opportunity to start traveling as a benefit. Since then, I have never stopped traveling. I always travel- so imagine, many countries later, I’m already living in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. So it’s an incredible journey. 

 

What is your favorite country you’ve been to?

 

Lily: 00:02:39

What a dream. That is so cool. What is your favorite country you’ve been to?

 

Feliciano: 00:02:44

Well, I live in different countries. I love Scotland. One of my favorites is Indonesia, especially Bali. The energy, the love for yoga, the nature. For me, this is one of these two places I would love to live there too. 

 

Lily: 00:03:09

Good choices, yes. I fell in love with Bali as well. I taught yoga there for a month, and I spent another month kind of just touring and traveling around doing some meditation retreats, it is a really magical place. 

 

Feliciano: 00:03:26

Yeah, that’s one. 

 

Did you take any yoga classes at Yoga Barn and Ubud in Bali?

 

Lily: 00:03:27

Did you take any yoga classes at Yoga Barn and Ubud in Bali?

 

Feliciano: 00:03:31

No. But in Bali, you know what I did? I took a course for Balinese massage. 

 

Lily: 00:03:40

That’s a good one. Balinese Massage. 

 

Feliciano: 00:03:44

I wanted to complement them because I had in my mind maybe in the future, to open a Yoga studio or Wellness Center. So, for example, I can do Yoga, I can do Reiki, and I can do massage. All everything together.

 

Lily: 00:04:05

Well sign me up if you are to open that retreat center, would be an honor.

 

Feliciano: 00:04:12

It was one of my projects. 

 

Where would you like to open up a retreat center in the world?

 

Lily: 00:04:15

Where would you like to open that up in the world?

 

Feliciano: 00:04:17

Actually I’m thinking maybe when I come back to Panama. It will be nice to have a retreat, maybe like I will just imagine something like in a month’s time so maybe near to the beach.

 

Lily: 00:04:32

I’m obsessed, you have to do that, that’s a big Goldstar thumbs up from me over here.

 

Feliciano: 00:04:39

Yes. 

 

Are you offering Reiki sessions?

 

Lily: 00:04:41

How cool. So you mentioned Reiki just a second to go and I’m a Reiki Master Healer myself. I got, you know, level one. I think we did it together at Nepal Yoga Home on a weekend. We took the time to do that. And I did level two and three in Rishikesh. Did you do more training in Feliciano or how are you, are you practicing Reiki? Are you offering Reiki sessions?

 

Feliciano: 00:05:09

Yes, I am offering a Reiki session. I’m just learning by myself, too. And I’ve been like for example, following on Youtube to following online to people that do Reiki. Reiki master, in order to learn more about it. I’m practicing. 

 

What do you like about Reiki and what really attracted you to it?

 

Lily: 00:05:30

That’s… that’s beautiful. What do you like about Reiki and what really attracted you to it? and maybe you should describe what it is actually for our listeners. I think that’d be great.

 

Feliciano: 00:05:42

For the Reiki, everything started when I was having shoulder pain. I had tendonitis. They identified Reiki as an energy healing, energy from the universe that goes through someone in person, passes to you and heals you. But it is not only physically, but also his emotional level, to an inmate. I can tell you, for example, that I’ve been using Reiki with a family, with friends, and myself.

 

Lily: 00:06:20

Yeah, Reiki is very powerful like the conduit, once you kind of hone in cleanse your own energy to serve as the conduit for the universal energy to flow through, right?

 

The universal energy of Reiki

 

Feliciano: 00:06:32

As I mentioned before, because of my injury I was looking for alternatives to heal. This is when I discovered Reiki. And I do say that the first time I had my- was a friend of mine back in Chile. I was on holiday. I didn’t know too much about it but there was nothing to lose. So I decided why not to try it. I did it immediately the next day, when I recorded I was like the thing on my shoulder was completely wrong. I couldn’t believe it, I was moving my shoulder around and it was a miracle for me. Since then, I have learned the energy around all light is really real. I always was and I was always into the energy that the energy surrounding us, in general, I was, and I still am very advocate of the law of attraction, or the positive thinking. This means, watch your mind or attract energy with your mind. Even if they’re good or bad, always this energy we are trapped in. So for me, the discovery of Reiki was most like a confirmation that we can heal others, we can heal ourselves too. That’s why, when I started learning. When I properly land row, Reiki in Nepal. There are certain people with family, with friends, and I can tell you one good example. One of my friends recently had an accident on his knee, and he was using a wheelchair. In the very first session that we had, I could see his muscles and the bones moving. It was an incredible experience. Then I asked him this question. I asked him, like, how he was feeling. And he told me, “by any chance that you were playing some kind of music, like waterfall or water flowing?” I was like no, because during the session. I was listening to the water flowing, I was feeling this heat on my knees. I was moving my muscles, they were moving my knee… moving all over the place, and he was feeling incredible. It was for him to rely after the session. We had some more sessions with him, he was recovering. Now I saw him recently and he was in a wheelchair, or using a chair, anything really, and feeling good. 

 

Lily: 00:09:26

That’s incredible. I love those stories, also, that I’ve experienced when I’ve done Reiki sessions. People will ask similar things like they felt like a block of ice was being pressed against their chest in their throat, and of course, we don’t use ice and we don’t play music during Reiki and we don’t use electricity or you know it’s just our hands and the energy flow. And it’s amazing how people experience the Reiki session, and then also the healing that occurs because of it, as you said he’s not in a wheelchair, that’s absolutely amazing Feliciano, wow. 

 

Feliciano: 00:10:07

Yes. 

 

Do you want to talk more about the law of attraction?

 

Lily: 00:10:09

It is and I’m glad you mentioned the law of attraction. You had talked to me a little bit about that as such a powerful thing that you are experiencing and in talking about and teaching and so do you want to talk more about the law of attraction?

 

Feliciano: 00:10:23

Yes, I will tell you first my… you were asking me in the form, before this interview, you are telling me what would be my motto. And I was like, what is my motto? Because, and then I was like okay, I always say thinking is like being positive, doesn’t mean you have everything, it simply means you can see the best from everything. So that is what the law of attraction, positive thinking means for me. I always knew I wasn’t. 

 

It was something in the mind, of positive thinking, just to realize that you can be better every day. Everything is in your mind, we have to know that not everything is perfect. The key is to realize that we need to be grateful for what we have in other parts of our life, material or no materials, unnecessarily that to say that it depends on everything. Because even departed spirits or situations make you stronger. Strength makes you learn, and sometimes because you’ve made the same mistake, or just improve yourself and your surroundings. Talking about this, I totally understand this moment, like people that talk about positivity and what they seem like people like me are trying to be positive, and we share for example in social media this message about positivity. 

 

Is simple to say, I’m not happy everyday like 24/7. I don’t say that negative thinking, it doesn’t come to my mind that I never feel sad or depressed or just down, it’s totally fine to feel this… and my motto means that I focused, not in the bad or the negative. Don’t just get stuck on that, it is like any other conduct situation, and believe that always plenty better will come and maybe not immediately, or when we want to. It’s like, we always need to try to become, and is what I’m a working on, to try to be different from other life that people can see that I shame on continuous changing, that they can feel comfortable around me around my aura, because I believe that no negativity can be stronger than me, of course, it’s a, it’s a long way to become a better version of myself. 

 

Almost probably I will always have to learn to be better, but little by little, I obviously like trying to see the best in everything, and learn from every situation. Always try to think positive, like, everything is good around you to attract you, it’s like to have that mindset, like everything that you think that everything that is in your mind, you can attract to you.

 

Lily: 00:13:27

Yeah, that’s, I couldn’t agree more that it is about having that kind of attitude of gratitude about cultivating that perspective of positivity. It’s not about lying or forcing or pushing, it’s just about trying to have that open awareness and receptivity to the beauty and the gifts and the gratitude for… for it all because you can have that perspective that something really bad just happen you can be upset and you can beat yourself up about it or bring everyone else around you down and its human to feel bad about it, of course. But if you can investigate and lean in and get a little closer to it, you often can find there’s lessons to learn. And as you just said, it’s, you become stronger even through the difficult times, it’s these challenge zones that we really become better and stronger people. 

 

Feliciano: 00:14:23

Exactly, yes.

 

Could you just tell me more about Ho’oponopono and how you’re practicing it?

 

Lily: 00:14:24

So I also really was curious about Ho’oponopono. I don’t know really much about it other than it’s from Hawaii, and it’s a spiritual practice that involves forgiveness and accepting responsibility and Recon- reconciliation. Could you just tell me more about it and how you’re practicing it or what’s going on with it?

 

Feliciano: 00:14:49

Yeah, exactly. It happens upon a Hawaiian prayer. I heard this from Joe- Dr. Joe Vitale. I was reading his book, The Secret to Attracting Money. In one of the chapters, he tells the story of Oklahoma and how a Hawaiian therapist cures some criminal patients without even meeting them, or spending any moment with them, you know, even in the chanel room. It was a sort of healing, it was said that he reviewed, he showed the patient files, and the healing, healing, their maximum results in like a miracle. A miracle that happened using this method. The first simple steps to this method are life, repentance, forgiveness, gratitude and the reverse of Oklahoma… You can do it yourself. You don’t need anyone to be there, or anybody to hear you. Usually saying the words in your head is like magic happening. The power is like the feeling, letting the universe forgive and love. The words that you had to rebuild the forest. “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you and I love you”. Definitely pay attention at Atlanta monthly between 10 minutes to two hours. Normally, you can do it every day. Sometimes I’ll do it in the morning when I wake up or before I sleep. Well, the first time I did it was like a wave, leaving my body on my body for meditation. For me because I’m repeating these four words over and over. He said exactly like repeating to myself that I love, I forgive. And sorry, tell me about everything. So I discovered this meditation is like I’m working in my everyday life, for everything. It’s something good or bad that happened to me. One of my friends, or one of my family members, is repeating this word, “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, and I love you”. And I said, everything that’s happening to me, I’m forgiving myself for everything that happened. I’m great about everything that’s happening. I always seem to like, you know these, they always say when you do something for 21 days in a row. It’s become a habit. And for me, to do this every day is like, I will never forget my life, what’s happening around me. Everything that happened is part of my decision to need to forgive yourself for everything you do, you need to be grateful. You need to love yourself, and you need to stay sorry too, because you need to be aware of everything. So that is what happened to me and for me.

 

Lily: 00:18:12

It sounds like such a beautiful practice of, as you said, just healing yourself by saying I’m sorry, you’re recognizing your responsibilities and your kind of reflecting on how you could maybe take action towards releasing those negative energies. And with the forgiveness, it sounds like you’re letting go of that negativity then and replacing it with the positivity, you’re just seeking. Yeah, seeking forgiveness so you don’t have to carry the blame, and then you can move on. And I think you said thank you and I Love You are the next two…

 

Feliciano: 00:18:52

Yes. 

 

Lily: 00:18:53

So yeah, thank you would be gratitude for sure, and I love you, self love and acceptance is one of the most powerful experiences, or one of the most powerful things we can cultivate for our lives and for our well being and for our loved ones and partners and children and dogs and co workers if we can love ourselves, we take a lot of that, the job of fulfilling our needs and our how much love we need to have to feel safe if we can love ourselves. I think there’s power in that, that goes beyond the self.

 

Feliciano: 00:19:30

Exactly, yes. 

 

How do you actually practice Ho’oponopono?

 

Lily: 00:19:32

So when you’re meditating, are you doing it to a, to a guided track a mantra of it specifically are you just reflecting on those four things for the day that has happened in the past, over the last 24 hours, do you do it in the morning or in the evening, like, how do you actually practice Ho’oponopono?

 

Feliciano: 00:19:55

Yes, I do. Sometimes during the morning or for example when I wake up, I start doing it, sometimes before I sleep, and even sometimes I do like driving my car, I just play this. This audio with these phrases, and do it. I can do it anytime, but normally just before I fall asleep, or when I wake up.

 

 

Lily: 00:20:26

Okay. And is it more of a reflective meditation or is it more just repeating those words and feeling kind of a warm, or a glow or something. What would you describe it as?

 

Feliciano: 00:20:38

That is the thing like you are repeating this and suddenly, just repeating is working for you. It’s not like you need to be any kind of day, like, midnight on something, just repeating. You can do anything you can be driving for example, as I mentioned, and you’re just repeating this. And it’s working.

 

Lily: 00:21:04

Yeah, yeah. I’m with you because with repetition of any affirmation or of any phrase whatsoever, we’re helping our neural pathways to solidify that kind of narrative and that story, because if we tell ourselves over and over and over and over again, I’m stupid. I’m stupid. I’m useless, you know, which unfortunately can be people’s mental habits, if we can replace a negative thought pattern with a positive one, like a pono pono. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you and I love you, it’s just such a powerful replacement to sometimes that self denigration, I imagine.

 

Feliciano: 00:21:49

Exactly, yes. It’s incredible how repeating these words can change you, can change your mind.

 

Lily: 00:21:55

Well I definitely am going to look into that more and give it a try because it sounds like a beautiful meditation that you can do anywhere. I love that you can be walking or at the grocery store or at the line at the post office and by repeating these phrases, you’re probably cultivating more patience, more compassion, and just kind of creating a sense of stillness, no matter where you are in your day. 

 

Feliciano: 00:22:20

Yes. 

 

What is Panama yoga like?

 

Lily: 00:22:21

Okay. Feliciano, I would love to talk a little bit about Panama. Since you’re from Panama, and there’s actually only 15 registered yoga teachers in the country of Panama. I would love to hear more about what yoga in Panama is like, is it popular, do a lot of people practice it, are there, are there a lot of retreats? They’re just hearing a little more about yoga in Panama, I would love to talk about that with you.

 

Feliciano: 00:22:49

Yeah. In Panama. Well, I guess it’s not so popular in another country, because well first of all in Panama, it is a very small country. We are only almost 4 million people, and in the capital is only one million and a half. In my city, not sure of the capital but in my city, for example not so many yoga studio [inaudible 00:23:06] As you mentioned, in the Jambalaya, there are tricking yoga teacher in my country in Panama. There are not so many like you’re gonna find in another country or around the world. But I guess, one of the misconceptions is religion. In Panama we are… very much a Catholic-Protestant and some people believe that yoga is not good. I’m Protestant, and I have discovered that yoga is like the energy to be positive, to have a positive mind. That doesn’t have to be any conflict with religion actually it compliments you. Because for example the Catholic-Protestant, one of the main goals is to be a good person, be good to others. So for me, yoga shouldn’t be a conflict with religion. But as soon as I’ll be back home in Panama. I believe this will change. When the yoga is going to be done to be more like yoga studio, more yoga trainers. In general, the international TV’s that you can see yoga practices. You can watch documentaries on Netflix about yoga, you can check any more information around before was can be a little more difficult. I’m sure it’s going to be more popular, and hopefully I can open my studio, and most people really know about yoga.

 

Lily: 00:25:16

Yes, I really hope that you are able to open that wellness center as I said, sign me up. I’ll come lead a retreat there or I’ll come help you out. I would love to go to Panama and I think you have such a gorgeous country and as you said it’s small but the climate is so wonderful, it just seems like a great place to be doing yoga as well.

 

Feliciano: 00:25:39

I definitely went to a wellness center that is near the beach. I haven’t gone there yet… but just like “wow, I would love to be there, have a retreat, working out would be great”. Working out and… and see the beautiful trees [laughs] [inaudible 00:26:06]

 

What is yoga?

 

Lily: 00:26:06

Amazing, sounds like the perfect word for it. Yeah, I hope you get to go to that center someday and as I said, hope you get to open your own. So first thing, I would love it if you could define yoga for me. Or just give me your definition of yoga by filling in the sentence. Yoga is…?

 

Feliciano: 00:26:29

Yoga is a way of living. Why? Because when you start practicing yoga, you start changing part of your life. How do you eat, how do you think, how do you treat others, how do you treat yourself, how do you treat your own body. So yoga is like a way of living differently for a better life, trying to boost yourself. That is yoga for me. 

 

What would be a good way to reach out and get in touch?

 

 

Lily: 00:27:04

Thank you so much, Feliciano, for that wonderful, wonderful definition. I agree it is a way of living, and it’s not just about what happens on the yoga mat itself. It’s about how you go about your entire life and interacting with people and interacting with yourself, your own mind. So Feliciano, thank you so much for being here. I would love it if you could share with our listeners today, how they could get in touch with you if they wanted to learn more, or wanted to have a Reiki session with you or, you know, learn from you, where, what would be a good way to reach out and get in touch?

 

Feliciano: 00:27:40

Well, they can find me, I have a Youtube channel, Spotify on Apple podcasts too, because “The New Normal”, I will share with you the link, so you can share it so they can find me, “The New Normal”. A new normal in Spanish, that’s my social media, Youtube, Apple podcasts, and Spotify. 

 

Lily: 00:28:04

Perfect. And do you have an email or a social media account you’d like to share?

 

Feliciano: 00:28:07

That’s right, you can write me to [email protected]

 

Lily: 00:28:13

Perfect. I will include everything in the show notes so you’re welcome to get in touch with Feliciano, or learn more about what he’s up to and keep an eye on that yoga retreat center in Panama, I’m hoping that gets open soon. 

 

Feliciano: 00:28:29

Yes, hopefully.

 

Lily: 00:28:31

Well thank you so much Feliciano for being here. Again, it’s just been so much fun to talk to you. I love the sound of your voice. They just smile listening to you and I hope all of our listeners are smiling along with us.

Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Outro

 

Lily: 00:29:07

Thank you everyone so much for joining Feliciano and I for a beautiful conversation about so many interesting different aspects of the holistic path of wellness, from a Ho’oponopono, the Hawaiian tradition of reconciliation and forgiveness to the law of attraction to yoga and to Reiki, it was a really inspiring conversation. I hope you found something interesting in there that you’re going to pursue and look into. So once again, thank you for listening and being with us. It’s been an honor and a joy, be well.
