In this episode we talk about what challenges us and how what challenges us actually helps us. But willingly walking into challenges isn't natural or easy, even if there are benefits. So we also discuss what keeps us moving in the direction of challenge-  even little things like standing in line or sitting in traffic and how they can become a daily practice of increasing our capacity to be in the inevitable discomfort and difficulty.    ∙ Visit us at www.pointsofillumination.com for our upcoming courses and in-person retreats ∙ Join our Free Facebook community “POI Support Circle” for conversations, questions, and comments on the podcast ∙ Follow us on Instagram @pointsofillumination for the latest news! ∙ You can also find our podcast and more educational content on our YouTube Channel.  Make sure to hit SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss out on any of our weekly episodes.

Listening to part 1 isn't mandatory for understanding part 2, but we promise you'll want to tune into both!  This time we dive deep into the 3 ayurvedic doshas or constitutions and talk about how they form. Each dosha is made up of a unique combination of the 5 elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.

Just like the leaves change around us, life causes us to change and transition. These transitions can be exciting and also scary.

You will start to see new and beautiful angles in your life that you had never seen before.  Enter your seasons with your eyes and arms wide open!

We have all experienced being angry. Angry at ourselves, angry with other people, or angry at a situation. Are you good at controlling and expressing your anger in a healthy way? Anger is an emotion that needs to be expressed in a collected and careful way. Know this - getting angry does not mean you are a bad person. Nor does it mean you are alone. Anger emotions can make you feel isolated from people. Expressing any type of emotion can be one of the most difficult things in life! Recognizing areas of personal weakness is the first step to being able to grow and mature. If an area for you is the anger emotion, we encourage you to press into strengthening this by focusing on a healthy practice.

We all have “shoulds” in our lives. Maybe we should work somewhere else, separate ourselves from a relationship, or feel this way about someone. Maybe we should make more focused goals, travel more, or slow down. When we dwell on what we should be doing, rather than what we are actually doing, our consciousness gives personal negative feedback. Being hard on yourself means you are judging the person you have become. ‘Shoulds' and perfectionism go hand in hand. Comparing your situation to a different one will be the root of evil. Let your ‘shoulds' inspire you rather than tear you down!

In this episode, we talk with our dearest teacher B. Naga Kumar of Mysore, India about Ayurveda. Kumar shares with us his own story about growing up in India and studying Ayurveda under his grandfather, who he mentored with in the younger years of his life. Kumar's background focuses on the non-physical, energetic part of humans. In the second half of the interview, Kumar talks about the 5 elements in Ayurveda: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. Since we ran short on time, we decided to do a part two with Kumar that will air in October. In that episode, we will focus more on defining and understanding the doshas.

There are a lot of emotions that go into relationships, romantic and also friendly. Join us this week talking about our experiences with romantic relationships. How we process emotions from experiences we are given. Knowing and processing our natural emotional habits will help us understand the way we react to different people or attitudes. We also talk about what it looks like to be a friend to someone who is internally processing their emotions.

This week's podcast is special! We are together and have a video podcast for you. We are talking about working with our inner child's needs. Our upbringing greatly impacts our subconscious because as children, we are all at the most vulnerable place in our lives - constantly being shaped and edged. Inner child work - the idea that all of the ages of our childhood are still in us and any of the needs that were unmet in those ages, still live within us. The intention with inner child work is to go back to those stages of life and see where healing is required to nurture and fill that void. Courtney goes into her own recent inner child work around feeling abandoned as a child. It is important to be able to recognize what we lacked during our early childhood stages. Whether we know it or not, this shapes us into the people we currently are. Noticing how you react to different people and situations highlights the way you grew up. We hope you learn something new about yourself this week and are able to meditate on your inner child! ∙ Visit us at www.pointsofillumination.com for our upcoming courses and in-person retreats ∙ Join our Free Facebook community “POI Support Circle” for conversations, questions, and comments on the podcast ∙ Follow us on Instagram @pointsofillumination for the latest news! ∙ You can also find our podcast and more educational content on our YouTube Channel.

Remember the last disagreement you had. Maybe it was with a family member, co-worker, neighbor, or companion. How did you feel? What words did you use? How long did it affect you? This week, we discuss how to approach conflict. Our world is filled with conflict! There is nothing more frustrating and disheartening than being in conflict with someone. This impacts the way we see the world, other people, and even ourselves. It is our second nature to always try to be right, but there can be negative consequences when we handle disagreements in a poor way. Conflict is inevitable, but having the right mindset and tools to overcome it will be a game-changer! ∙ Visit us at www.pointsofillumination.com for our upcoming courses and in-person retreats ∙ Join our Free Facebook community “POI Support Circle” for conversations, questions, and comments on the podcast ∙ Follow us on Instagram @pointsofillumination for the latest news! ∙ You can also find our podcast and more educational content on our YouTube Channel.

This week's episode is all about how our nervous system impacts our well-being! How being surrounded by people will affect us, even when we do not see it. Absorbing other people's energies makes us susceptible to change personally. Self-protection is done subtly and takes work. We all know people who make us feel charged or worn out. At home, work, or in public, protecting your energy will impact your character. Being conscious of our nervous system and the situations we are put in each day will help us understand how to protect our energy. We challenge you to notice how you feel after you leave group settings or even personal time. We feed from other people and this energy can either be positive or negative. ∙ Visit us at www.pointsofillumination.com for our upcoming courses and in-person retreats ∙ Join our Free Facebook community “POI Support Circle” for conversations, questions, and comments on the podcast ∙ Follow us on Instagram @pointsofillumination for the latest news! ∙ You can also find our podcast and more educational content on our YouTube Channel.

This week, we discuss the difference between being alone and lonely. These are two very different emotions and situations we all go through. Seasons of life, people, jobs, even the weather can all cause people to feel lonely. It can be hard to find a good balance of being involved in your community while also taking restful periods of reflection. Knowing the difference between being alone and lonely can change the trajectory of what rest looks like in your life. This past year has been unique from others in the sense that everyone has had to isolate themselves in different ways. We felt this topic important to touch on and notice the impact loneliness can have on a person's life.

In today's episode, we are speaking with Acyuta-Bhava Das from Nightlight Astrology. However, we talk very little about astrology. We asked Acutya to tell his story, which begins as a Methodist minister's son in Minnesota, into healing through Ayahuasca, publishing a book about it and later discovering Astrology and Bhakti Yoga. Acyuta, whose given name is Adam Elenbaas, has a beautiful way of making the ordinary extraordinary. He's an excellent storyteller and has lived a dynamic and interesting life.

Do you know your worth? Often, when we are not confident in our own characteristics, we look to other people or other things to make us feel worthy. The opposite side of this is having enough self-trust and self-respect to allow ourselves to be unique and authentic. As females especially, it is easy to automatically assume we are not worthy...THIS IS NOT TRUE LADIES! Really knowing ourselves is the most important tool because the world is constantly telling us how we should act and what we should look like. Challenge yourself this week to meditate on where you find your self-worth. Recognizing this is the first step to coming back to your true self. Be confident in who you are and what you can accomplish! Do not lose hope in yourself, you are wonderful! :) We mention two previous episodes this week - Ep4 | Shadow Work and Ep34 | Connecting with Intuition.

What is intuition? People often say, “trust your intuition!” But do we really know what it means or how we can best use it in our lives? This week, we talk about how our minds use our intuition to give us messages. Knowing how to respond to these messages can help us when we decide which paths in life to follow. Trusting our intuition can be extremely difficult because what our minds tell us is not always the clearest. We all experience different ‘red flags' or cautions in our life that cause our intuition to react. Reading these and responding in a healthy way can alleviate stress, pain, and situations we would never wish to experience! We hope you find this episode interesting and inspiring. Strengthening how we deal with our intuition is a lesson worth practicing! Understanding and trusting our intuitions will help us make the choices we want in our lives. ∙ Visit us at www.pointsofillumination.com for our upcoming courses and in-person retreats ∙ Join our Free Facebook community “POI Support Circle” for conversations, questions, and comments on the podcast ∙ Follow us on Instagram @pointsofillumination for the latest news! ∙ You can also find our podcast and more educational content on our YouTube Channel.

Letting go - the ‘easier said than done' part of life! This week, we discuss what letting go looks like and why it is important. Determining our attachment or non-attachment to specific events or emotions is the first step to being able to let go. One of the big topics we talk about is the feeling of disappointment each of us experiences. Maybe someone or some event let you down. Possibly expectations were not met. Letting disappointment rule our emotions is not a way any of us want to live! Letting go can sometimes have a negative connotation attached to it. BUT, it can be very helpful and crucial to our character! It can allow us to grow, heal, be bold, and strong. We hope this week is encouraging and insightful. ∙ Visit us at www.pointsofillumination.com for our upcoming courses and in-person retreats ∙ Join our Free Facebook community “POI Support Circle” for conversations, questions, and comments on the podcast ∙ Follow us on Instagram @pointsofillumination for the latest news! ∙ You can also find our podcast and more educational content on our YouTube Channel.
