Menstruation is still a taboo. But why aren’t we openly discussing it? And why are we taught that having your period equals pain when it really doesn’t need to? Menstruation should be viewed as a reckoning. A way for your body to let you know what is working and what is not. In modern western society, there is a lot of shame regarding not only menstruation but also topics like fertility, perimenopause, and menopause, and the result is confusion. At the same time, all your reproductive phases feed off each other, and your choices today heavily affect your future reality. In this episode, Cate Stillman and Kate O’Donnell talk about how you can deal with all phases of your reproductive cycle in a way that will ensure you make the most of all of them.

Until the world was interrupted by this crisis and the subsequent lockdowns, humanity was in an unhealthy place. We were so focused on work and productivity that so many other important aspects of our health were crumbling.    Many of us have experienced negative feelings and circumstances as our schedules and lives have adjusted, but it’s not all bad news.   There’s fear and despair but there’s also hope, excitement and the opportunity of what we can create right now; the new culture and consciousness we can usher in.    What is the larger meaning behind the crisis, and what are the old ways that we desperately need to shift away from? Why are spiritual entrepreneurs so important right now? How do we keep ourselves in alignment in these challenging times?    In this episode, Ayurvedic Practitioner and Cookbook Author, Kate O’Donnell shares how the lockdown has shifted her life and business and what she’s learning from it.      3 Things We Learned From This Episode The hidden meaning behind the covid-19 crisis  We lived in a culture where productivity and work goals were the most important thing, and focusing on that was driving all of our behavior and choices. The unsustainable nature of that work-dominant focus has now been shut down, and many of us have been pushed onto the path of breaking old habits and creating new healthier ones.    Getting over the internal resistance to self-promotion  Right now, more than ever before, there’s a huge surge in the people tuned into the online world. Our gifts are needed in order to help many of these people who would benefit from our teachings and messages. If you’ve created something that can really help people, it will remain hidden without promotion. Kate shares how she overcame her hesitation to run ads.    How the virtual world can diminish our alignment  We’re spending more time than ever in front of computer and phone screens, which creates an artificial and boxed-in mindscape. Too much of that will affect our sense of reality and connection with the world around us. We need to get away from the box and train the eyes on a different kind of vision.   Guest Bio    Kate is an Author, Presenter and Ayurvedic Practitioner and Cookbook Author.

Kate O’Donnell leads Ayurvedic trainings at the Boston School of Ayurveda, facilitates workshops at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health and is the author of two of my favorite Ayurvedic cookbooks. She has a very honest and real approach to Ayurveda as well as a wonderfully sarcastic sense of humor. In this episode she explains how food affects the energy of the mind and gives us some insight to her own constitution as well as what she eats in a day.

A sattvic state of mind is one that is naturally calm, clear, and at peace. But when the world tugs at our minds and our egos, it makes them anxious, wild, and scattered making  it difficult to feel peace and stability within. In her Ayurvedic Cookbooks, Kate O’Donnell uses food preparation as a way to harness this undisturbed, sattvic state of mind that we desire to cultivate. Today, Kate and I chat about the importance of our daily habits in terms of sukha sadhana and how to bring about a clear, calm internal and external environment with a daily spiritual practice. This practice of becoming more aware of ourselves, more in tune, and more present to each moment can be done using many techniques, from meditation to cooking! Kate O’Donnell and I talk about how to sooth our out of whack doshic energies and how to bring ourselves back into balance, whether we are predominately Vata, Pitta or Kapha. As humans we tend to create less space and more business for ourselves in our day to day lives; it is important to learn to take a step back and invoke slow, steady, healing energy. It’s from this place of grounding that we make good choices, good relationships and create good products. Sattva- natural state of the mind- calm and clear naturally but then it’s pulled on by the universe. The law of the mind is that it is naturally. Her cookbook- the use of food to harness that undisturbed state of mind.   Sukha- good space-- within us, around us. Internal and external environments, relationships we cultivate. Sadhana- spiritual practice done daily to cultivate a sattvic state of mind. Our state of mind is cultivated by our daily habits!  The mind itself is driving all the activities that are happening in the physical world--like the wizard of Oz! Take concept of mind and mental realm and understand it and how its affecting us- we will have a better grasp on our day to day lifestyle. Sukha Sadhana- process of becoming more aware of ourselves-- creates good space as we go. We are paying attention to LIFE rather than being imbalanced/ running around like chicken with head cut off or like a sloth. -Vata dosha- fall- vata season. Feeling very airy and chaotic, anxiety, overwhelm, depletion, collapse Need to balance go-go energy with Slow energy in order to maintain that go energy. Otherwise will burn out. Food preparation as a way to slow down! When you slow down, the body slowly comes back into right relationship with itself...because mind starts to slow down. Whether we are cutting carrots or doing yoga asana, we are able to slow down in mind and body and they we can experience ourselves in line with nature-- --Pushing the Vata envelope- suppressing the urges to pee, poop, fart, burp--its teh go go go tendency. Conversations of evolution. Root before extending. Pitta pushing envelope- workaholism--lots of vision- we want to make happen. But at end of day--jut business instead of efficiency. Kapha-complacency,  resistance to change, lack of creation and lack of fire. Pushing envelope-not moving, no exercise, improper eating. Need the get up and move energy   Under-complicate everything- eat one thing all day.   What you’ll get out of tuning in: What do Sattva, sukha and sadhana mean and why are they important? How to under-complicate your life by keeping cooking simple. Why is it important to connect with your food?   Links Mentioned in Episode: Kate O’Donnell Website - About Me -  Kate O’Donnell’s “The Everyday Ayurveda Cookbook: A Seasonal Guide to Eating and Living Well”  - Amazon  Yoga Health Coaching Join Spring Yogidetox Show Highlights: 1:15- Sattva, Sadhana, and Sukha. What do these sanskrit words mean and why are they so important? 9:40- What does a slower, more mindful pace and practice look like in our lives? Kate talks about food preparation as a way for us to slow down and feel nourished! 16:00- What does it look like to push the envelope from a Vata, a Pitta, and a Kapha point of view? What causes and leads to imbalances in our dosha types? 25:30- Food preparation in an efficient way, as a yoga practice or a meditation.  Find love for slower, grounding practices, such as cooking. Cooking should be a peaceful, enjoyable practice done with friends or family, as opposed to having a “get it done” mentality. If this isn’t how you feel when you cook, take a class and learn new techniques to enjoy the practice of cooking nourishing foods!   Favorite Quotes: “The law of the mind is naturally calm and clear and undisturbed.” -Kate O’Donnell “The mind itself is driving all the activities that are happening in the physical world.” -Kate O’Donnell “For all the go-go-go in our days, we need some slow-slow-slow!” -Kate O’Donnell   Guest BIO: Kate O’Donnell is an author, lecturer, and senior yoga teacher.

I love these juicy conversations with author, lecturer, and yoga instructor, Kate O’Donnell. Today, we jump right into how our awareness expands and changes as we dive deeper into the studies of yoga and Ayurveda, and how we can expect ourselves and our physiology to change and evolve on our growth paths.  There is a greater sensitivity that we begin to notice in our bodies as we move into a deeper attunement with nature and the universe. We intuitively begin to move away from over processed foods, scary movies, loud music, late nights, and over indulging in the things we used to find pleasurable. We learn what it feels like to be truly healthy at a deep, cellular level and what it means to be seated in the self. We learn that some resistance to new routines can be a good thing and that the clear, peaceful, grounding of energy of sattva is much more nourishing than the fast-paced and stimulating energy of rajas. Join us today in this fascinating podcast to learn about your growth path and where your yogic path is taking you. What you’ll get out of tuning in: How can you expect to evolve, as someone who practices yoga and Ayurveda?   What are the gunas and how do they play a role in our lives? How a bit of mental and physical resistance can be a good thing.   Links Mentioned in Episode: Kate's Website Kate's Facebook Discover more about Body Thrive    Show Highlights: 1:45- Cate Stillman and Kate O’Donnell discuss how life can change and what can be expected on our growth paths as we continue to practice and study yoga and Ayurveda. The body’s sensitivity changes and expands as we age and gain life experience; our tastes for food, drink, movies, music, people, etc. morphs as our physiology uplevels and the word ‘pure’ takes on a new meaning. 18:15- In order to fully learn something, sometimes we need to take 2 steps forward and one step back. We chat about the ‘gunas’ and what the qualities of sattva, rajas, and tamas mean and how these energies play out in our lives. 26:30- The energy of tamas and its tendency towards complacency. How a sattvic, calm, still, peaceful state of mind is different from a tamasic, complacent, or lazy way of being.   Favorite Quotes: “Your physiology has the technology to live in such a high level of resonance that you can tell if something is a fit or not a fit immediately. ”-Cate Stillman   “True confidence comes from being seated in the self.” -Kate O’Donnell “Paying attention to how we eat actually is a spiritual practice. It’s part of our evolution“ -Kate O’Donnell “Who do I want to become more of that is so fully resonant with who I am, and who am I meant to be next?” -Cate Stillman   Guest BIO: Kate O’Donnell is an author, lecturer, and senior yoga teacher.

  If you are like most people eating healthy and well is high on your new year’s resolution list. Is it? That’s not surprising. After all, good food is a foundational piece to lasting health and happiness. With bad food we feel blah, bloaty, uninspired. Who wants that? With good food we feel uplifted and inspired. I attest to it. Well, I hate to break the news to you, but if you want to feed yourself well, home cooked food is essential for a peaceful and harmonious mind … and a vibrant body of course. Are you cringing? Does cooking at home sound like a whole lot of work? Hold your horses and read on … If you are a person who eats out a lot you have very little control about what goes into your body (and mind). Restaurants typically get their ingredients from big suppliers who give a d&*% about where they source their food from. The main goal is to keep costs down so you can eat affordably. It’s likely that you eat artificial ingredients,  hormone fed beef and unorganic lettuce. Those ingredients ain’t creating ease and peace. When eating out, you also have no control over the emotions that go into your food. Yep that’s right? The emotions of the cook go right into your food. And having worked in restaurants, I know what a stressful environment kitchens are. How is that creating a peaceful mind for the eater? Check out my conversation with Alec Hurley on that. When cooking at home you have way more control over what goes into your body. Now, if you are anything like me you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. I am way into simple, easy and delicious. That’s why I talked to Kate O’Donnell who has written two Ayurvedic cookbooks. They are filled with simple recipes that take less than 30 min to prep, are  nourishing and tasty. Yahoo Kate. Well done. I chat with Kate about the ins and out of everyday cooking and how it impacts our minds.
