Podcasts about Ayurveda

From the depths of the cosmic ocean, Dhanvantari arose - radiant and serene, carrying the pot of Amṛta, the nectar of immortality. This is the birth of Ayurveda, the birth of healing itself.In this special Dhanteras episode, Dylan retells the ancient Vedic story of the Samudra Manthana (the Churning of the Ocean of Milk) and reveals how this timeless myth mirrors the process of transformation within us all. As light and shadow churn together, both poison and nectar emerge, showing that healing is not about escape, but integration.A meditative and mythic journey through one of the Vedas' most profound tales, this episode invites you to awaken the Dhanvantari within - the innate intelligence that restores balance, purifies what's toxic, and reveals the radiant nectar of health and consciousness that lies beneath the surface of all experience.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

Author and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych explores what it means to reinvent primary care through the lens of Ayurveda.

The episode closes with a short meditation that envisions a future where primary care truly honors the wisdom of the body.

What if your mornings were the most peaceful, powerful part of your day? What would change in your life if you stopped waking up in chaos and started waking up in rhythm? And how much of your exhaustion is really about late nights—versus being out of sync with yourself? In this solo episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia explores the deeper side of becoming a morning person. It’s not about forcing productivity before sunrise—it’s about aligning with your body’s natural cycles, building a rhythm that supports you, and discovering purpose in how you begin your day. Radhi weaves together science, Ayurveda, and lived experience to share practical tools for better sleep, morning rituals, and cultivating energy that lasts. She shows how discipline can create freedom, why preparation matters more than motivation, and how gratitude and intention transform waking up into a sacred practice. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your body is already wired for mornings How routine restores energy, clarity, and focus The science behind sunlight, sleep, and circadian rhythms Why snoozing makes you groggier, not more rested Simple practices to make mornings feel light, not heavy How to root your mornings in optimism, gratitude, and purpose If you’ve ever wished you could stop dreading mornings, this episode will help you rethink not just when you wake up—but why.

Traditionell medicin möter modern forskning i en infekterad debatt om biverkningar, diagnoser och vetenskaplig granskning. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I södra Indien har en infekterad konflikt blossat upp mellan förespråkare för ayurvedisk medicin och forskare som granskar dess effekter. Ayurveda är ett av världens mest använda traditionella hälsosystem, men när forskare i Kerala upptäcker ett samband mellan örtpreparat och allvarliga leverskador väcks starka reaktioner.Tungmetaller som kvicksilver och arsenik hittas i flera produkter, vilket leder till juridiska strider, avpublicerade studier och försök att tysta kritiken. Samtidigt försvarar ayurvediska läkare sin metod och menar att västerländsk medicin saknar förståelse för kroppens balans. Diagnosmetoder, synen på vetenskap och kulturella värden kolliderar i en debatt som rör både hälsa och identitet.WHO öppnar ett nytt kontor för traditionell medicin i Indien, i hopp om att hårdare regleringar ska stärka patientsäkerheten. Vetenskapsradion möter forskare, läkare och ayurvedapraktiker i ett polariserat landskap där vetenskap och tradition står på kollisionskurs.Reporter: Annika Östmanannika.ostman@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

The Scented Secrets of Time: How to Use the Memory Palace to Master Essential Oil History 101 (w/ Grandpa Bill & Adah)Welcome to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour! In this week's double-feature, my granddaughter Adah and I tackle Essential Oils History 101—but we aren't just reading dates. We are building a powerful new wing in Adah's Mnemonic Memory Palace to make 6,500 years of aromatic history stick forever.The true power of essential oils isn't found in a recent fad; it's rooted in ancient, global healing systems. We track the evolution of aromatic use through four essential stops:The Pharaoh's Roll (4500 BC, Egypt): Our Memory Palace journey begins at the Front Door where we use the Major System code 45 (R-L / Roll). We picture a Pharaoh rolling a giant stone of Lapis Lazuli. This image encodes the earliest ritual and embalming use of essential oils like Frankincense and Myrrh.The Distiller's Toast (10th/11th Century, Avicenna): Next, in the Kitchen, we honor the man who revolutionized oil purity: Avicenna. Our mnemonic shows him toasting (code 10 / D-S) his hands over a fire and tending to a giant Distiller (code 11 / D-T). This is the birthplace of modern distillation!The Chemist's Tip (1928, Gattefossé): Moving to the Study Desk, we encounter René-Maurice Gattefossé (pronounced Gah-teh-foh-say), who coined "aromatherapy" in 1928. To remember the date, we visualize Gattefossé in a panic, tipping (code 19) a beaker of lavender onto a Navy (code 28) uniform. Accident turned to discovery!The Doctor's Roar (WWII, Dr. Valnet): Our final stop on the Balcony brings us to Dr. Valnet. During the 1940s, he successfully used oils to treat wounded soldiers. Valnet is roaring (code 44 / R-R) at a giant Radio (code 44) to share his findings with the world.Whether you're a college student like Adah or a fellow "Silver Streaker" looking to sharpen your cognitive edge, the Magnetic Memory Method works. Tune into the podcast for the deep healing wisdom and watch the YouTube video to see the PAO system brought to life!Listen to the full episode on the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour, and watch the visual mnemonic demonstration on YouTube @billholt8792!Why History Matters to Holistic HealthMaster the MemoryEssential oils 101-Our journey begins not with modern labs, but with the cradle of civilization, tracing the use of aromatic materials back nearly 6,500 years.

“Just because you make the final decision does not mean you were the cause.” — Lora Cheadle “Healing” gets thrown around a lot—but in real life it's messy, non-linear, and humbling. In this intimate conversation, Lora and healer/mentor Wendi (formerly of the Chopra Center; now on the Lee Harris team) unpack what healing actually looks like after infidelity, health crises, and identity rupture—and why your “opening” matters more than any timeline. If you've ever wondered, Why don't I feel better yet? Am I doing this wrong?—this episode is for you. Lora and Wendi reveal the lived truth of recovery: three steps forward, two back; grief cycling; learning to receive; and choosing yourself even when others don't approve. You'll hear how meditation created space beyond the mind, why the body never lies, how community can “hold the frequency” when you can't, and the liberating shift from I am my story to I write my story. Expect practical reframes you can use today—especially if you're a high-achieving woman who's tired of doing it all alone.   Top 3 Takeaways Healing is non-linear (and normal). Think Chutes & Ladders, not a straight line. You'll revisit layers like grief, anger, and acceptance—and that doesn't mean you're failing. Humility opens the door. Letting go of the “if I do everything right, bad things won't happen” myth creates room for curiosity, compassion, and real change. You're allowed to choose you. Boundaries, receiving support, and rewriting the narrative are acts of power. Your agency—not other people's opinions—defines your direction. Episode Highlights The “opening”: the moment you realize you can author a different story than the one you were handed. From people-pleasing to permission: upsetting others vs. honoring your inner yes. Mind-Body-Spirit integration: why meditation quiets the narrative so the body's intelligence can be heard. Community as medicine: when you can't hold the frequency, let safe containers hold it for you. Identity shifts: you are not your past roles (spouse, fixer, PTA star, marathoner); you are the one choosing what's next. Resources Mentioned Group meditation & mantra practice (Chopra Center origins) Lee Harris retreats/“Soul Magic” weekends Nature as regulation (beach, trees, grounding) A Course in Miracles prompt: “Am I willing to see this differently?”   About Wendi With contagious joy and heart, all that Wendi Cohen offers is with the intention of healthy change.   She has been a dynamic and instrumental force helping people from all over the world as an educator and mentor in the field of spirituality and wellness. Highly regarded for her many years at the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, she managed and facilitated their signature program, Perfect Health. Working with Dr. Deepak Chopra and being involved with cutting edge research in meditation and Ayurveda there, Wendi has been up close and personal with the brightest minds in the wellness industry. Now working with Lee Harris Energy, she is the Director of Studio Operations and a producer who uses her creative prowess, intuition and vision to support transformational work. What makes her special in this field, is that she found meditation and mindfulness on her own path to healing after being diagnosed with a rare and chronic illness in 2003. Her insatiable curiosity and ability to think outside of the box led her to looking at integrative approaches. That is when she had profound shifts in her health and also fell in love with meditation. As a result of her journey, Wendi has a deep capacity to understand the many challenges people face when looking at healing and transformation. She is also a board certified Integrative NLP Practitioner and trained in Authentic Communication. Being of service is when Wendi is the happiest - supporting people so they feel more peaceful, clear, and grounded, experiencing more love and inspiration in their lives is what lights her up. Her mantra is "follow the fun" and that is EXACTLY what she hopes to inspire in others.   The Humility of Healing..... By Wendi Cohen   Healing is often a misunderstood journey that reveals lessons in humility and the chance for deep learning, uncovering aspects of ourselves, if and only if, we are willing to look at them. By allowing and receiving, staying open and getting creative, thinking with our hearts while feeling our bodies, there can be some profound shifts in how we experience the challenge - whether it is physical, emotional or heart based. In my case, it was learning to navigate a new 'normal' after a life-changing diagnosis that rocked my world. My path has been messy while stunningly beautiful, scary and empowering - filled with moments I'd never ever want to revisit AND also so many moments of being the recipient of so much love and generosity, from unexpected places. When we have a better understanding that healing isn't necessarily linear - that it can be like a game of chutes and ladders or riding a roller coaster that takes your breath away, heart opening and heart breaking - but with the infusion of creativity, receptivity, a sense of humor and beginning new each day, it can become less jarring.  Now twenty years later, to have had the good fortune to learn and then work with some of the most extraordinary visionaries, teachers, healers, and with my clients, I am truly humbled by it all - the good, the challenging and what has yet to come.   Favorite Quote “Healing isn't something you do once and finish. It's the willingness to meet yourself again and again—with humility, curiosity, and love.” — Wendi

Have you ever wondered what Ayurveda is?In this podcast, we explored how Reiki's gentle yet powerful energy can guide us back into balance and alignment—and how the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda can support that process in simple, practical ways.I shared some of the small shifts that changed everything for me: drinking water first thing in the morning, rising and resting with the sun, noticing the seven kinds of hunger, keeping a food journal, brushing my skin, and even healing my gut with the help of sourdough bread.So many empaths and people with autoimmune challenges struggle with digestion, sleep, and balance. Together, we explored how Reiki helps us identify areas where we're out of alignment, and how Ayurveda provides gentle practices to restore harmony.We closed with a guided Reiki meditation to help you sense where balance is needed in your own life—and invite Reiki and Ayurveda to work together in bringing you home to health and wholeness.Here are some of recipes from the share:Golden milk2 cups milk1tsp turmeric½ tsp cinnamon¼ tsp ginger black pepperHoney after heatingSour Dough Starter1 cup flour (can use gluten-free)1 cup warm waterpinch of yeastcover loosely and leave on counter 24 hours or more until it starts bubbling; each day, remove 1/2-1 cup starter to use in recipes and add more flour and water.  When you want to slow it down, or don't need to bake, place it in the fridge.Sourdough biscuitsDry ingredients1 cup flour (I use gluten-free mix)½ tsp fine pink salt¼ tsp baking soda1 tsp baking powder2 tbsp butterWet ingredients1 cup active sourdough starter2-4 Tbsp milk optional 1 tsp honey helps gluten-free biscuits brownI add additional butter and liquid and bake these in muffin tins at 425 degrees for 18-22 minutes until they are golden brown - enjoy!We also talked about this…Want to come to Africa with me?I'm thrilled to finally share something that has long been on my heart — a Reiki journey to Africa!For years, I've dreamed of visiting Africa, the cradle of humankind, but it always felt out of reach.Now, it isn't.We'll gather in Nairobi for Reiki and Animal Reiki training, deep healing, and connection with the land and animals, while also experiencing some of Africa's most treasured sites — the Giraffe Centre, Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Nairobi National Park, and Naivasha Game Park.There's room for just six students.  Past students are welcome to join and review their classes at a special price, and the remainder of the details are on us!  We will arrange transportation, accommodations, even some meals.  If this speaks to you, I'd love to have you join us!To learn more, please join Kristy and I for an Information Q&A Session with an African-inspired meditation on Monday, October 13, at 10am Eastern time.______Pam Allen-LeBlanc is a scientist, businesswoman, and Licensed Reiki Master Teacher (LRMT) with the International Center for Reiki Training.Get in Touch with Pam:pam@reikifromthefarm.comwww.reikifromthefarm.comRegister for our newsletter!

Have you ever wondered why you feel alert in the morning, sluggish at night, or completely off after a late flight? In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, we explore the fascinating world of your circadian rhythm—the 24-hour internal clock that orchestrates your hormones, metabolism, mood, and even cellular repair. Discover how light, meal timing, and sleep habits influence your energy and long-term health, and learn how ancient healing traditions like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine have honored these rhythms for centuries. You'll also hear how modern chronobiology is proving what bioregulatory medicine has always known: when you live in sync with your body's natural timing, everything works better—from digestion and detoxification to immunity and emotional balance. We'll cover: The science behind your “master clock” and its influence on hormones like cortisol and melatonin How eating and sleeping at the wrong times can disrupt health and mood Practical ways to realign your rhythm using light, movement, and herbal allies Why “night owls” and “early birds” are both right—if they follow their natural chronotype By the end, you'll have a simple blueprint for restoring balance, energy, and resilience—one sunrise and sunset at a time.

Let's talk aboutthe taboo topic of what Ayurveda thinks about sex, desire, and brahmacharya, or general sexual restraint. There are so many misconceptions that we will try to debunk a few of those.

Most women think of self-defense as what happens once someone grabs you. But the truth? The most powerful skills happen before it ever gets physical. In this episode, I'm joined by Alison, a former FBI Analyst and founder of Strong is Beautiful, who teaches women how to build awareness, trust their instincts, and walk through the world with confidence- whether you're running alone, loading groceries with kids in tow, or living by yourself.

Author and Ayurvedic practitioner Heather Grzych sits down with Kirti Tewani to explore a refreshingly holistic and creative approach to beauty, wellness, and Ayurveda. They discuss everything from resisting cultural norms like gray hair and navigating natural beauty influences, to the lessons we inherit from our mothers about health. Kirti shares insights on the joy of skincare routines, the role of Ayurvedic practices like oil pulling, and the importance of listening to what our bodies truly need: including sleep, stress management, and understanding subtle cues, or our “inner body voice.” They dive into how travel, local culture, and city living affect wellness, why no one owns Ayurveda, and how even reading a single book can shift your perspective on your body and the world. Along the way, they explore how beauty and wellness are inseparable, the power of silence, and why age isn't always the culprit behind back pain -  all underscoring a deeply personal, mindful, and culturally rich approach to health.

Life can often feel unpredictable, whether from work pressures, social shifts, or simply the pace of the world. Ayurveda reminds us that stability isn't found in controlling the external world, but in cultivating steady rhythms and anchor habits within ourselves. In this episode, Colette explores how small, consistent daily habits can serve as anchors for your body, mind, and spirit. You'll learn why Ayurveda places such importance on daily self-care practices (dinacharya), how different doshas benefit from specific anchors, and how these tiny, steady routines ripple out to support digestion, sleep, energy, emotional balance, and longevity. Whether you're new to Ayurveda or looking to deepen your self-care practices, this episode will inspire you to choose just one simple anchor habit to bring more calm, clarity, and resilience into your life. What you'll learn in this episode: Why uncertainty often triggers “all-or-nothing” thinking and how anchor habits provide steadiness. Simple daily habit swaps to create calm energy, mental focus, and restful sleep. The Ayurvedic concept of dinacharya (daily routines) as a foundation for health. Dosha-specific anchors: grounding for Vata, cooling for Pitta, energizing for Kapha. How small, consistent habits ripple out to support nervous system resilience and longevity. Why anchoring your body naturally steadies your mind and spirit.

What do you do when life feels unstable and stressful — when plans fall apart, circumstances shift, and fear tempts you to put everything on hold?In this episode, Myra shares how Ayurveda and Yoga practices provided an anchor through her journey of moving from Hawaii to New Zealand, being locked out during the pandemic, and navigating unexpected chapters across Australia, Portugal, Mexico, and finally Bali.These experiences revealed a deeper understanding of home for her— not as a place, but as the steadiness within. In this episode, Myra explores:The role of the three gunas — sattva, rajas, and tamas — and how they shape our ability to meet stress.Why cultivating sattva (harmony and clarity) allows us to move forward with grace, even in uncertainty.How daily practices — pranayama, meditation, mantra, asana, and agnihotra — bring stability when the external world is shifting.The difference between surrender and passivity: why faith means active trust, choosing to take each step aligned with the flow of life.Through stories, practical insights, and timeless wisdom, this episode reminds us that practices aren't something to “pause” when life gets rocky — they're what carry us through.If leading others on the path of healing feels like your dharma, we invite you to apply now for a 1:1 clarity call with a member of our team so you can determine if one of our trainings is the right fit for you.
