Send us a textAre there certain seasons, foods or activities that aggravate your health or help you feel better? Are they different than the people who are close to you? This is because your body, mind and spirit is unique and has unique needs.In this episode, I talk about the Ayurvedic concept of Prakriti, which is your unique constitutional blueprint determined at conception. I explain the importance of understanding Prakriti to maintain balance and well-being, drawing from my own experiences and a recent trip that offered me insights into rest and self-awareness. I discuss the challenges of identifying one's Prakriti and differentiate it from current imbalances, known as Vikriti. I offer practical steps for discovering Prakriti, including keeping a journal, talking to others and consulting knowledgeable individuals. These steps help us learn what brings us in and out of balance, ultimately fostering a deeper understanding of ourselves through the lens of Ayurveda.In this episode:Understanding Prakriti: Your Ayurvedic ConstitutionThe Importance of Knowing Your PrakritiBalancing Your Prakriti Through Life StagesPractical Steps to Discover Your PrakritiMy resources:Weekend Nervous System Reset Deep Rest MeditationNourished For Resilience Workbook Book a free Exploratory CallFind me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Send us a textEver wondered what Saturn would wear to Trader Joe's? Or which chakra your Mars is doing crunches in? In this myth-soaked, side-eye-filled episode of Third Eye Roll, Dr. Justine Lemos and Scarlett Trillia unravel the cosmic web connecting the planets, doshas, and chakras—while dropping cultural anthropology, gender nuance, and 90s R&B along the way.From Mercury's genderfluid beatboxing at the throat chakra to Venus slaying in heels at the heart, this episode dives deep into how planetary archetypes live inside your body and strut around in the world. We touch on Ayurveda, Jyotish, yoga, and myth in an integrated weave, culminating in the story of Sati's sacred sacrifice—where the goddess becomes a map and your chakras become temples.Segments include:WTF is That: Saturn's Fashion EditionCosmic Current Events: Minimalism, Mercury & Mahadasha Mood SwingsMystic Mic Drop: Your Body is the PilgrimageLet's get mystical, irreverent, and a little emo. No gurus, no fluff, just the good stuff.
Dr. Svoboda explains our tumultuous world through the lens of Rahu, an Indian shadow planet which is darkly influencing our society. This week on Living with Reality, Dr. Svoboda shares:The confusing, multi-polar, world which we are living inThe current manifestation of Rahu (a shadow planet in Indian Astrology)The myth of The Churning of the Ocean of Milk and Rahu's cosmic originHow those influenced by Rahu are highly interested in scheming, immortality, and grandiosity The three times of Rahu in the United States (The birth of the United States & Revolutionary War, 1895-1913, and 2015-current times)Tremendous concentrations of wealth vs. poverty and great confusion around the truthNavigating how to live through 8 more years of Rahu The current U.S. president as an incarnation of RahuGrandiosity, spiritual inflation, and ego-driven delusions in times of RahuFollowing Ayurveda and being with Sangha as antidotes to the effects of RahuPutting our focus on nature, our guru, and a vision of a more peaceful future“Human beings are being strongly influenced by shadows, in particular the shadows on their screens. Yes, those are colorful shadows and they're back-lit, but they're still shadows. They're representations of reality that claim to be real, when in fact they're simply shadowy images. Image more than actual reality is what Rahu is all about.” – Dr. SvobodaAbout Dr. Robert Svoboda:Dr. Robert Svoboda is the first Westerner ever to graduate from a college of Ayurveda and be licensed to practice Ayurveda in India.

Send us a textThis week is a flashback episode! This is an episode I put out almost two years ago about the basics of Pitta Dosha. I'll be back next week with a new episode!Original shownotes:Ever feel hangry? That's Pitta. Acne and spreading rashes? That's Pitta. Feel irritable and angry in hot weather? Also Pitta. Pitta Dosha is a combination of the Fire and Water elements. Fire is transformational, it literally changes things. A tree into ash, water into steam. When we are going through a challenging or life changing experience, we sometimes say we are “stepping into the fire”. Without this fire, things would always stay the same and remain stuck. If we didn't have Pitta Dosha in our bodies, we wouldn't be able to transform our food into usable components or transform our sensory impressions into thoughts, emotions or sensations. In this episode:What is Pitta DoshaWhat does Pitta look like in the macrocosm of the world and the microcosm of our bodiesWhat does healthy and unhealthy Pitta look likePitta times of day, time of year and time of lifeQualities of the Pitta predominant personHow to balance PittaSources:Lad, V., M.A.Sc (2002).

In this post, I'm delving into a concept that has been on my mind for the past few months. I call this concept “diagnosis identity,” and it's about the nature of the human condition, the role of suffering in our lives, and how we navigate it. It's about what we choose to do with suffering and illness, and a call to rise above our suffering, learn from it, and ultimately not allow it to take over our lives and become a part of our identity. In this piece, we'll explore: Why suffering is both inevitable and potentially transformative The difference between trauma and the normal struggles of life The cultural trend of over-identifying with a diagnosis and how it can become an obstacle to healing The alchemical idea of transforming poison into medicine A vitalist approach to healing through strength, forgiveness, and meaning How practitioners can spot “stuck” cases and support deeper transformation ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at: http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/ Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/ Shop our herbal products: https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/ ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

Boost your CO2 tolerance and improve your breathing by practicing nose breathing techniques. In this episode of The Movement Movement, Steven Sashen talks with Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP, founder of LifeSpa and a respected figure in Ayurvedic medicine, who discusses how he's been combining ancient wisdom with modern science for over forty years. His groundbreaking work, particularly in his book Body, Mind, and Sport, examines the benefits of nose breathing versus mouth breathing during physical activity. Dr. Douillard's research indicates that nose breathing enhances nitric oxide production, a crucial factor in efficient oxygen intake and stress relief. It also significantly improves overall health and performance, as demonstrated in his work with elite athletes and firefighters. A strong advocate of the health benefits of nasal breathing, Dr. Douillard encourages making it a daily habit to enhance respiratory health, immune function, and overall well-being. Key Takeaways: → Nose breathing improves oxygen intake and carbon dioxide removal, enhancing respiratory fitness. → Engaging the diaphragm and rib cage through nose breathing leads to better respiratory health. → Breathing through your nose during exercise lowers your breathing rate and enhances performance. → Proper nose breathing techniques can enhance athletic performance and recovery by activating the lower lung lobes. → Chronic mouth breathing in children can negatively impact facial and airway development. Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP, is a globally recognized leader in the fields of Ayurveda, natural health, nutrition, and sports medicine. With 40 years of experience, he has helped over 100,000 patients. Dr. John is a renowned Ayurvedic educator, host of the Ayurveda Meets Modern Science podcast, and bestselling author of seven health books, including Eat Wheat and 3-Season Diet. He is the creator of LifeSpa.com, where he proves ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science in articles published weekly.

I have been an Occupational Therapist since 1991. I started out working in neuro rehab - brain injury rehabilitation, and loved it. I've always been a person who is constantly seeking out more education, especially when you find that you aren't able to help people enough, with what you know. So I studied and became certified in NDT, or Neuro Developmental Treatment early in my career. As I moved into other areas of rehab, I took trainings in Myofascial Release, Hand Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, and Manual Lymph Drainage. I kept looking for “that thing” that resonated with me. While I learned a lot with these courses and they brought more understanding and different techniques to use, none of them were “it” for me. And they didn't teach people how to help themselves. It was another technique to do “to” them. I have owned my own business, Atha SomaYoga, since 2017, and have an office inside Core Physical Therapy in West Des Moines. I offer mainly private sessions focusing on helping people become aware of their basic resting breath and posture, and imbalances they may have, then help them retrain them through the work of Buteyko Breath Re-education and Somatics. Then I help them retrain their functional movement, with additional tools from yoga, including the poses, philosophy, and Ayurveda (the sister science to yoga) so they can keep themselves moving well, and helping to decrease their pain and/or tension. I lead the 200 and 500 hour Therapeutic SomaYoga programs in Des Moines, through Yoga North International SomaYoga Institute, and am also starting to offer Continuing Education in Somatics and breathwork, to PT's, OT's, and possibly massage therapists, etc., in the future.

Click here to send me a quick message :) So many focus on preparing for birth during pregnancy, as if the birth itself is the biggest event. And as someone who studied midwifery and attended births for 5 years, I can say confidently that it IS important to prepare for the birth. But it is arguably even MORE important to prepare for the initial weeks and months postpartum. And not just with meal trains and herbal remedies, but also - from the Ayurvedic lens - with deep replenishing postpartum care.Nourishing, warming, grounding, holding the mama or birthing parent.The body changes immensely after the babe is born. Just think, that entire baby and the placenta have been released from the womb. The womb involutes, contracting over the course of time to pre-pregnancy size. There is so much SPACE in the body, the organs are shifting, the body is adjusting.This is where Ayurveda comes in. Today's guest, Ayurvedic postpartum care provider Coco Genevieve (AyurMama) has devoted her life to tending and nourishing mothers and birthing parents during the first 6 weeks postpartum, also referred to as the Sacred Window in Ayurveda.And she shares all about this time, the body changes, the qualities and energetics of both what's happening and what's needed to tend the imbalances, and some of her favorite key practices - namely, food!She even shares one of her favorite recipes at the end. It's a whole paradigm of postpartum care that's ancestral wisdom from the Ayurvedic lens, and it's broken down for you in today's interview.Resources:Today's shownotes: Get links to all of Coco's offerings!Episode 49: How to create a sacred window for menopause, menarche + beyond with Ashlee Sakaishi WilkinEpisode 152: The power of two eyed seeing w Amy EldredgeEpisode 156: The Universal Mother Principles w Christine EckIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

In this enlightening conversation, Erin Doppelt and Sasha Bershadsky delve into the intricate world of the chakra system, exploring its significance in Ayurveda, western psychology and spirituality. They discuss how each chakra corresponds to different aspects of physical and emotional health, emphasizing the importance of integration and embodiment in personal growth. The dialogue highlights the interconnectedness of the chakras, the role of devotion in spiritual practice, and the necessity of living with an open heart. Through their insights, listeners are encouraged to embrace their desires, cultivate self-awareness, and recognize the divine grace in their experiences. takeaways: The chakra system is the subtle anatomy that affects physical and mental health. Integration of knowledge into practice is essential for personal growth. The throat chakra is crucial for authentic communication and self-expression. Living with an open heart is vital for emotional health and connection. The third eye chakra allows for intuition and higher vision beyond the material world. Devotion to a higher purpose brings joy and vitality to life. Everything in life is interconnected, and our experiences shape our reality. The quality of our desires reflects our level of consciousness and health. Practicing gratitude aligns us with abundance and joy. Embracing the sacred nature of our desires leads to a fulfilling life. Sasha Bershadsky is a certified Ayurvedic Doctor and yoga teacher (RYT200).

Welcome to Season 7 of Ojas Oasis! In part two of this three part series, Dr. Jayarajan Kodikannath (also known as Dr. J) and Sasha continue our exploration of Ayurveda for happy and healthy kids. In today's conversation, we focus on Vihara, which means lifestyle in terms of conscious or unconscious behavior, tendencies or hobbies, and Dinacharya, the Sanskrit word for ideal daily routines, which includes waking and sleeping times, oral and bodily hygiene, bowel illumination, self oil massage (abhyanga), exercise, meditation, prayer, and eating meals at regular times, all of which follow the circadian and seasonal rhythms. A key differential between Vihara and Dinacharya is that Dinacharya focuses on when and how you do the self-care rituals that optimize and regulate your life, while Vihara focuses on how you live overall: conscious or unconscious habits or hobbies you engage with throughout the day that impact your body and mind. Vihara and Dinacharya are both pillars of health in Ayurveda. Balancing both in a child's life supports healthy nervous system development, creative expression, emotional regulation, and physical resilience. In a world of overstimulation and technology continuing to advance at the speed of light, it has never been more important to balance the external environment with an internal environment that feels safe, nurturing, slow, and in sync with nature.

An episode from The Holistic Navigator. This is not to diagnosis or treat any disease/illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications. This is for entertainment/informational purposes only! The world of dietary supplements, organic and non-GMO foods, and nutrition can be complex and confusing. People are often left with more questions than they began with when beginning to research “how to get healthy.” Are we able to trust every claim on the label? Is it really that important to find whole food sourced supplements and organic food? Where should I look to find TRUSTWORTHY information? Meet Amber: On this week's episode we talk with Garden of Life Regional Educator, Amber Lynn Vitale. Amber is a certified nutritionist, Ayurveda specialist, and many of her years of practice have been in conjunction with functional medicine specialists. Amber and Ed speak about the importance of critical thinking concerning supplements, the benefits of whole food supplements, and how a consumer can cut through the marketing and find effective products that will be beneficial for their health. Part 2 of this conversation will be available next week! Some Points We Discuss: What questions should we be asking ourselves as we consider what is going on with our health and how to optimize it? (5:00) Where do we start looking for quality nutritional products? (13:40) Some Key Takeaways From This Episode: We really have to get back to this concept of critical thinking to figure out what is going on with our health and how to vet products to help us along the way. (7:05) The difference between shopping online and shopping in a store where you actually have people to talk to about making your choices and that's extremely important. (14:22) Healing is as much an art as a science. (19:33) This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm
Episode Summary: In this deeply moving and honest episode, Amy Wheeler welcomes Lisa Becks—a yoga teacher, clinical social worker, and long-time practitioner—who shares her lifelong journey with yoga as a steady companion through grief, motherhood, cancer, and healing. Lisa recounts how she first encountered yoga in her early twenties while grieving the sudden loss of her mother, and how that one class at a Zen Buddhist center in Michigan led to decades of inner transformation.From the profound influence of her first teacher Barbara Linderman (a direct student of Śrī T. Krishnamacharya) to her healing experience with Kate Holcombe after a breast cancer diagnosis, Lisa's story reminds us that yoga isn't about performance or ambition—it's about returning to ourselves, again and again. Throughout this conversation, Amy and Lisa reflect on parenting without a mother, the reverberations of our actions and emotions, and how the most healing practices are often the simplest and most sincere.Listeners will be inspired by Lisa's vulnerability, her gentle wisdom, and the way she lives the teachings she practices. Whether you're new to yoga or have been on the path for years, this episode is a tender reminder that yoga, when approached with sincerity and self-awareness, meets us exactly where we are.

Colette explores how to take care of your skin holistically during hot weather using timeless Ayurvedic principles and she covers the following: The subdosha of pitta governing the skin.

His enthusiasm and love for this plant was infectious – believe it or not, he even got me to sing!Kyle also shared his version of a favorite way of working with this sunny herb: as an infused oil for topical use.
