In deze aflevering gaat Ferdinand in gesprek met yogadocent en Kundalini facilitator, Ingvild Molenaar. Ingvild is gespecialiseerd in lichaamsintelligentie, innerlijk werk en Kundalini activatie. Ze begeleidt mensen om een diepere verbinding te maken met hun innerlijke wereld, zodat ze vrijer en krachtiger in het leven komen te staan. Met haar unieke methode combineert ze spiritualiteit en wetenschap op een toegankelijke en praktische manier. Ingvild Molenaar (44 jaar) groeide op met een moeder die zich bezig hield met spiritualiteit en yoga. Toen Ingvild na haar studie werkzaam was als productieleider in het theater, besloot ze zelf op yoga te gaan. In eerste instantie omdat ze op zoek was naar een manier om meer ademruimte te krijgen. Als kind had ze veel last van astma en naarmate ze ouder werd sloeg dit om in een chronische ontsteking van haar slijmvliezen.  Hierdoor ze niet meer goed door haar neus in- of uitademen. Yoga en pranayama brachten hier verbetering in. Ingvild besloot de opleiding tot yogadocent te volgen en ging hierna les geven. Tijdens haar lessen ontdekte ze dat veel mensen geen bewuste relatie hebben met hun adem. Ze ging zich tijdens haar lessen focussen op het vinden van rust in de adem, en op het bewust worden van patronen. Je hoeft volgens haar niet geforceerd volgens een bepaalde techniek te ademen. In het dagelijks leven wil je dat je adem een natuurlijkheid heeft, pas daarna kun je experimenteren met verschillende technieken. Yoga hielp Ingvild ook om een innerlijk grid te bouwen zodat ze, ook al is het leven soms overweldigend, altijd de weg in haar binnenwereld kan vinden, en daardoor ook beter in de buitenwereld. Ze gelooft dat veel mensen het contact met hun innerlijke wereld verliezen naarmate ze ouder worden. Hoewel we goed worden opgeleid in het omgaan met de buitenwereld, leren we vaak niet hoe we kunnen navigeren door onze gedachten en gevoelens. Door middel van beweging van lichaam, geest en energie, helpt ze mensen de verbinding met zichzelf te herstellen. Daarnaast bleef Ingvild zich verdiepen in kennis; op fysiek, mentaal, emotioneel en filosofisch gebied. Ze liet zich initiëren in Kriya yoga meditatie, en ontwikkelde een innige relatie met chakrameditatie. Yoga, pranayama en meditatie bleken voor haar methodes te zijn om ... .....YouTube geeft slechts 5000 karakters voor dit tekstveld.

In this tender and illuminating episode, I open with reflections on the energetic shifts moving through my life right now. I share the story of a guardian spider who watched over our home and has now disappeared, and a tree that stood strong in our yard until it had to be cut down. These signs in nature often mirror what's stirring within - and this episode is full of that reflection. I'm also joined by our beautiful GUIDED sister Bethany, who vulnerably shares a deeply personal journey through a recent health crisis and the spiritual awakening that emerged from it. What began as an intense diagnosis became a portal - into deeper connection, healing, and the sacred fire of Kundalini rising. Through spiritual practice, voice activation, and the loving presence of our GUIDED community, Bethany has witnessed a profound shift in her energy, clarity, and wellness. If you're moving through a season of transformation - whether in your health, your home, or your heart - may this episode remind you that you are not alone. You are deeply held, always guided, and always supported.

Are you looking for more ways to spice things up in the bedroom? We've all heard the usual—lingerie, toys, candlelit date nights, maybe even a threesome. But have you ever wondered if the real magic has been there all along, just waiting for you to try? What if feeling more, instead of doing more, is what really lights the fire? Curious to find out?  In this special Language of Love Bite, I dive into something that's not just my newest obsession—it's the subject of my brand-new book: Sex Magic. The truth is, the pandemic—and everything that came after it—opened my eyes. I started seeing more and more people, whether in monogamous or non-monogamous relationships, desperately looking for ways to spice things up. And while the desire was valid, the strategies? Often risky. I heard from couples exploring threesomes, opening their relationships, chasing novelty in ways that were threatening the very foundations of their connection. But what if I told you that there are powerful, beautiful, time-tested ways to bring that spark back—and they've been around for thousands of years? That's where Sex Magic comes in. In this episode, I share: Why traditional advice on “spicing it up” only goes so far What the ancient traditions of Tantra, Taoism, and Kundalini can teach us about modern intimacy How to move sexual energy through your whole body—and even beyond A ritual you can use to manifest your desires during orgasm (yes, really) How sex magic can create emotional intimacy, spiritual connection, and even…miracles Whether you're solo or partnered, curious or all-in, this episode is your invitation to explore a whole new dimension of pleasure, connection, and personal power. Want to take it further? When you grab your copy of Sex Magic, you'll also receive bonus tools: My Quantum Sex web course A beautiful Sex Magic Ritual Journal A live initiation replay to help you get started Visit drlauraberman.com/sexmagic to learn more.  And if you try these practices or manifest something juicy, I want to hear from you!

I used to believe in chakras, energy healing, and the kundalini awakening. I thought I was unlocking my true self. But what I didn't realize is that the chakra system is a strategic counterfeit. It's a demonic blueprint built on top of the real spiritual design GOD actually created. So, in this live, I'm breaking down the truth about chakras, kundalini, spiritual body gates, and how Satan twists God's blueprint to gain illegal access to your life. We'll expose the deception, unpack the biblical alternative, and walk through what true deliverance looks like - gate by gate. Whether you're a Christian curious about spiritual warfare, or someone wrapped up in this stuff wondering if your chakra activations are actually harmless... this is for you!       -       Follow me on Instagram: @AngelamarieScafidi       -       Ways to Support the Show:      

We talk about a wild array of things, including movies, The Twilight Zone, Paranormal reality TV shows, the problem with photographing the paranormal, automatic writing, EVP's, Kundalini, and more...

In this episode, I'm joined by Cassie Parlotto, owner of Joiful Yoga in metro Atlanta. Cassie is a certified expert in Kundalini yoga, Reiki, vision boarding, and more. She shares her unfolding spiritual journey — one that has led her to become a woman of deep wisdom, compassion, and insight. Together, we reflect on the importance of sharing what we've learned with others — not from a place of ego, but from a desire to help, connect, and heal. Cassie reminds us that our lived experiences and spiritual growth aren't just for us; they're meant to be offered outward as light for someone else's path. If you've ever questioned whether your voice or story matters, this conversation will encourage you to share your truth, because someone out there needs to hear exactly what you've learned. #acourseinmiracles #spiritualgrowth #innerwork #healing #godislove #oneness #connection #kundaliniyoga #kundalini #reikihealing #reiki #spiritualawakening

I'll never forget September 2nd, 2015 - the exact date is burned into my memory. I was in the other room while family was visiting, secretly doing my esoteric studying because I didn't want to scare my wife with my interests. Then I received a simple email with the subject "Mind expanding material" and a link to llresearch.com. When I clicked on that link, something extraordinary happened. It was as if someone physically moved my face to focus on a subtitle that read "Are you a wanderer?" I felt almost compelled - like something overtook my body and forced me to click. What I read there was so profound it literally sent me into what felt like a new dimension for two hours. The message was simple but powerful: "You are not alone." It spoke about souls from higher densities who had volunteered for a mission in response to Earth's cries of confusion and pain. This completely blew my mind because I'd never told anyone about my childhood fascination with aliens, out-of-body experiences, telepathy, Atlantis, and pyramids. As a kid in rural Texas, I used to hide esoteric magazines like other kids hid inappropriate material. I even told my parents in first grade after a UFO encounter that I wasn't really from here - and my dad just said "Yeah, we know." That night I sat in silence and darkness, tears streaming down my face for two hours. I experienced a full Kundalini awakening - energy rising and popping at the top of my head, followed by an energetic shift that lasted three weeks. This launched me into studying the Law of One material with incredible fervor. Broader Themes from the Discussion The Nature of Wanderers: The group explored the concept from the Law of One material describing wanderers as souls primarily from sixth density who volunteer to incarnate on Earth to help with the planet's spiritual evolution. These souls come from unified social memory complexes and take great risk in forgetting their true nature to serve here. Universal Experience of Alienation: Multiple participants shared experiences of feeling different, not fitting in, or sensing they don't belong on Earth. This alienation often begins in childhood and includes heightened sensitivity to energies, emotions, and the suffering of others. Spiritual Awakening Journeys: Several people described profound spiritual experiences, kundalini awakenings, and moments of cosmic consciousness that confirmed their sense of being here for a larger purpose. The Challenge of Sensitivity: Many discussed the difficulty of being highly sensitive - picking up on others' emotions, collective suffering, and discordant energies. This sensitivity can be overwhelming and isolating. Internal Work as Primary Mission: A key theme emphasized that the most important work wanderers can do is internal - knowing themselves, accepting themselves, and becoming integrated before attempting to serve others. Multiple participants noted that external service without this foundation can actually cause harm. Finding Community: The discussion highlighted how meaningful it is to find others who understand these experiences, providing validation and relief from the loneliness that often accompanies the spiritual path. The Paradox of Attachment: While the wanderer identity can be deeply validating, there was recognition that ultimately it doesn't matter - what matters is simply being authentic and serving with full presence, regardless of cosmic origins. Purification and Release: The group explored how many spiritually-oriented people seem to be here to release and purify rather than accumulate, often experiencing challenges that serve a greater cleansing purpose for collective consciousness. The overarching message was one of solidarity among seekers who feel called to something greater, while acknowledging both the gifts and challenges that come with spiritual sensitivity and service.

In this episode of Peace Is Here, host Avis Kalfsbeek reflects on The Birth of the Khalsa by Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh—a groundbreaking work that reimagines Sikh identity through a feminist, peace-centered lens. Drawing from her own journey through compassionate Kundalini yoga and a growing curiosity about women's roles in spiritual traditions, Avis explores how Singh's writing invites us to see the divine as nurturing, liberating, and powerfully maternal. You'll hear a narrated reading of a portion of the book's Introduction and a reflection on why the spiritual wisdom of the Khalsa—often told through masculine frames—may hold transformative potential for peacebuilding today. We also learn about Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh, whose poetic scholarship opens doors to a more inclusive spiritual imagination. (I am not an affiliate for these products.)

In this enlightening podcast episode, Guy welcomed back Lawrence Edwards, a profound spiritual teacher and mental health practitioner. They delved into the nature of spiritual awakening, the soul's evolution, and the hero's journey. Lawrence discussed the integration of the finite and the infinite within us and how awakening consciousness serves the highest divine purpose. The conversation explored the significance of dharma, the role of discipline in spiritual practice, and the transformative power of selfless service and love. The episode also touched on the mystical experiences across various traditions and the universal pursuit of knowing the infinite. Lawrence emphasized the importance of courage and dedication in navigating the spiritual path, the necessity of teachers, and the ultimate goal of helping all beings achieve freedom from suffering. About Lawrence: Lawrence Edwards is a neurotherapist, psychotherapist, and an expert in Kundalini Awakening, our innate power of Consciousness that creates the highest order of transformation and revelation. This power is the foundation of all yogic, mantra and meditation practices. Lawrence is regarded by many as a modern mystic known for his love of the Divine. He is unusual in this field because he has a deep grounding in both Eastern and Western traditions, and applies them both to his work with Kundalini.  His personal, direct, life-long experience of the extraordinary power and grace of Kundalini are reflected in his writings, teaching and poetry.  His experiences began early in life and he says Kundalini's grace continues to be the essence of his life.

He is the founder and director of the Anam Cara Foundation and a contributing author to the Sounds True anthology Kundalini Rising: Exploring the Energy of Awakening.

This region is more than just stunning—it's a powerful energetic node carrying codes of Death & Rebirth, Transformation through Transcending Norms, and the Sacred Feminine secretly steering happenings of historic significance.Topics we explore:

Today's Pull-Up cuts through the noise: Meditation = shutting the f*ck up for a few minutes. Period. You don't need incense, a cushion, or a guru. You need silence. Stillness. The kind I had to find through chaos — from hospital beds to Kundalini awakenings in the middle of NYC.Whether you're manifesting your next move or just remembering who the hell you are, the message is clear: Stop talking. Start listening. The Divine is already speaking.Oh — and saying “that's my car” as a kid? Yeah, that was baby meditation. Your soul's been knowing.

This episode opens under the light of the Sagittarius full moon, closing a cycle that began on December 1st, 2024. I reflect on the journey since then — what has shifted, what has ended, and what is now being revealed. What follows is a raw Satsang recording from Sunday, June 8th. In it, I speak on unplugging from the program — seeing God in everyone and everything. No one is special. No one is separate. The dream of individuality is part of the illusion — and we are awakening from it. The episode closes with a teaching on the Line Activation, the spiritual practice we offer through A Line Within. I share how this practice prepares the body for Kundalini awakening — ancient yogic science remembered in a new form. Thank you for listening!

It's easy to miss the magic when life feels like mud. In this soul-deep episode of The Pull-Up, I get real about my own suicide attempts, how holistic therapy cracked open my healing, and why my Kundalini awakening—yep, the very thing that lit me up—also brought me to the edge. But here's the truth: the present moment is a-fucking-mazing—even when it's hard to see it. Whether it's baby eyelashes, your next breath, or just the fact that you pressed play today... this reading is for you.

Kara Seymour was deeply entrenched in the New Age movement, she was a Kundalini yogi, and was thoroughly convinced that Christians were judgmental, boring, and brainwashed. So she was as surprised as anyone when she met a group of Christian women who became her new best friends. I can't wait for you to hear her amazing story of transformation, the judgment she felt outside and inside the Church, and how her relationship with Jesus has changed her life. We're kicking off our Judgy Girl series, where we're looking at stories of judgment and mercy from the Bible and how to live like it's true that our God is a merciful Judge. I'm weaving in some thoughts about several Bible stories of mercy into my conversation with Kara. Guest: Kara SeymourGet your Free Resource: 20 Page WorkbookResound Media Network: www.ResoundMedia.ccMusic: Cade PopkinKara SeymourKara Seymour is a woman whose life was radically transformed by the power of the gospel.

On today's solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I dive deep into the ancient practice of Pranayama, also known as yogic breathwork, and its profound impact on fertility. Breathwork may sound simple, or even unrelated to fertility, but the connection between your breath, nervous system, and reproductive health is incredibly powerful. In this episode, I explain how specific breathing techniques can shift your body from a state of stress into one of rest and regeneration, promoting hormone balance, improved digestion, and pelvic blood flow all critical components of a healthy fertility journey. You'll learn practical ways to integrate ancient breathing practices like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), Kapalabhati (breath of fire), Bhastrika (bellows breath), Bhramari (humming bee breath), and Ujjayi breathing into your daily routine. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply curious about new tools to support your body naturally, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways:  Breathwork regulates the nervous system, supporting hormonal balance and reproductive function. Ancient yogic practices like Pranayama offer free, accessible tools for stress reduction and enhanced vitality. Techniques like alternate nostril breathing and humming bee breath can be easily integrated into your daily life. Breath can help release emotional tension and stimulate vagal tone, a key player in fertility health. Conscious breathing increases oxygenation, supports digestion, and boosts clarity.

Welcome back to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. I'm your host, Michelle Orbitz, and today we're diving into a deeply healing and powerful practice that has stood the test of time. It's called Pranayama or yogic Breath Work. You might be surprised to hear just how much breath work could influence your mind and your nervous system, and then in turn influence your reproductive health. **Michelle:** 'cause we know that the nervous system plays such an important role on reproductive health. So if you wanna find out more about powerful breathing exercises that you can do so easily and they're free, that can influence your nervous system and how you feel. Overall, this episode is for you. **Michelle:** Welcome to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. I'm Michelle, a [00:01:00] fertility acupuncturist here to provide you with resources on how to create a wholesome approach to your fertility journey. **Michelle:** So, so today I'm going to cover a very interesting topic, which is Pranayama. so this is an ancient Indian or yogi or yo guine practice that has been done for thousands of years. **Michelle:** Pranayama or yogic breath work **Michelle:** is extremely powerful And can really impact the mind and the nervous system. So if you wanna find out more on how to hack your nervous system, and if you've watched some of my earlier videos, I talk a lot about how your nervous system really can influence your fertility health because it gets you into a more rest and digest state. **Michelle:** And it can also influence your inflammation and your digestion and even create more balance in your hormones. So if you are trying to conceive and you wanna [00:02:00] find out how you can really hack your body and mind through pranayama this amazing ancient tradition, this amazing ancient practice, then stay tuned. **Michelle:** So you might be asking yourself, what exactly is pranayama? **Michelle:** So in Sanskrit prana means life force vitality. So it's very similar to what chi in Chinese medicine means, and it's the life force vitality that goes through our body. a yma means control or expansion. **Michelle:** So Pranayama in essence, is the art of controlling your breath to influence the life force vitality in your body. **Michelle:** So it's not just about breathing more deeply though. That's part of it. **Michelle:** It is about becoming aware of how your breathing can influence your hormone balance and your nervous system, **Michelle:** as well as reducing stress. And these are all really important and impactful things when you're trying to conceive. **Michelle:** So, although this [00:03:00] is coming from ancient India, this is something that can control all bodies and all different cultures. and it's one of the many gifts that we get from the ancient Vedas, Which is really linked to Ayurveda and yoga. The yogic tradition is the aspect of the physical, and it's more of the physical therapy aspect of it, but this is all part of really the science of life and how they're perceiving that you're able to, and how they're giving you tools to really access this amazing, intelligent life force that resides in your body. **Michelle:** So just to kind of give you a little bit of an overview. So Prana is very similar to Q, which is Life Force Vitality, and this is basically the life force that we have that is intelligent and that keeps our body warm and that keeps our body functioning. So this is something that really is intelligent because that aspect of our bodies is [00:04:00] what tells ourselves what to do, and it also helps the self-healing mechanism of the body. **Michelle:** And when we're in fight or flight, and I always come back to the nervous system than our body is more worried about survival. And regeneration is not as much of a priority because survival is more important. But what happens when we're in survival is that everything moves towards that survival, and it's not worried about digestion. **Michelle:** It's not worried about inflammation. All the things that are running in the background. And it can also impact your sleep because when you're trying to survive, you can't rest, you can't sleep, you can't afford to, you wanna survive, you wanna be alive. So that's ultimately how the nervous system operates. **Michelle:** But when we're getting that free flow of energy and that we're able to really be enriched with the QI and the life force of Prana, and we're able to get also in a more rest and digest mode, things will flow more easily and they're not gonna be as constricted as it does, as things [00:05:00] do happen with stress. **Michelle:** And ultimately as an acupuncturist, one of the biggest things that I do is I work a lot on pelvic energy flow and blood flow. So when there's more flow in your body, there's more blood flow, there's less constriction. And as we know, many times when people have high blood pressure, you know, your blood vessels are actually. **Michelle:** Muscle and those muscles tighten and it causes more constriction and more pressure. And we know that stress can even impact blood pressure. So that tightening is what happens when we're stressed, and ultimately that tightening is going to block. Impact, as I mentioned with the liberty, which is really its role, is to get that energy to flow. **Michelle:** So one of the ways that we can hack really our minds and our bodies is through pranayama. And today I'm gonna talk about a couple of different. Techniques of breathing that you can do that will [00:06:00] immediately have an impact on how you feel and how the energy and the prana in your body is able to flow, which ultimately will be beneficial not just for your body and your reproduction, but also your mind. **Michelle:** And I'm sure you know that if you are on the fertility journey, it can be very stressful. And when you're stressed, there's been studies that show that when you're stressed, you can't really make a clear minded decision. And as we know, when you're on the fertility journey, you need that decision making aspect of your mind because you are going through a lot of different choices and options that are being thrown at you. **Michelle:** So the first breath that I am going to be sharing with you is called Nadi Shaana, and that is alternate nostril breath. I like to call it the yin and yang pranayama, although that's not really the name, because it balances the yin and the yang in our brain. So both hemispheres of the brain start to function and come [00:07:00] together. **Michelle:** And this is one of the most immediate calming exercises that you can do. And what it does is it basically you alternate sides and you will block one nostril and breathe in, and you can breathe into like the count of four or the count of eight, whatever feels right. But if you slow it also, you'll start to feel a little more peace so you can actually breathe into the count of eight. **Michelle:** Then close both nostrils. So breathe in one nostril, close the right, and breathe in from the left. Breathe in to eight, and then hold both nostrils closed to the count of eight, and then exhale from the right to the count of eight. And then breathe back in from the same one, the right to the count of eight, close both nostrils, and then breathe out from the left and then breathe back in for the count of eight out, eight in hold it.[00:08:00]  **Michelle:** So basically just remember one specific count and you're gonna keep doing that and then alternate your nose. Now you're gonna notice that one nostril is going to be a little more clear than the other. And that is actually very normal. Our bodies tend to go more yin and yang throughout the day, so one side will feel one way and the other side will not feel that same way, and you'll find that that will alternate throughout the day. **Michelle:** And that's kind of an interesting thing, but our bodies do alternate and we're constantly getting to this place of homeostasis so that our body can find balance. But through that, we do have those two sides, those dualities, which is why doing something like this can be so powerful. **Michelle:** So by balancing, because our nose is directly opened, you know, the olfactory nerve, which is also the sense is directly linked or connected to the brain. So by alternating those two sides, of [00:09:00] breathing, you are creating that balance from the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and that also can create more clear thinking if you are feeling anxious and it's hard for you to really make a decision. **Michelle:** This is a great exercise to do, and what this also does is activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the more rest and digest nervous system. So if you're feeling extra stressed and you wanna slow down your mind, this is amazing. It also improves oxygenation and it also creates more mindfulness. **Michelle:** 'cause as you're doing it, you're being very conscious of how you're breathing and how you're feeling because it is a practice that you have to pay attention while you're doing it. **Michelle:** So you could do this in the beginning of your day and then you can do this at the end of the day. And it could be literally two minutes, two minutes in the morning and two minutes at night. And I think that it is really nice to actually do it in the beginning and end of the day. 'cause you're literally doing it at yin and yang times of your 24 hour cycle. **Michelle:** So it can help you when you [00:10:00] first start to wake up, and then you can help you end the day really nicely and support your nervous system as you go to sleep. So another one that is one of my favorites is called Kati, and that is skull shining breath. Or you may have heard this, called breath of fire. And so ultimately what it is, is working through your diaphragm and after you do it for a while, you literally feel like you are breathing fire. **Michelle:** 'cause you can feel a lot of fire in your diaphragm area. So the area that I'm talking about is really the soft area of your belly that's right underneath your ribs. So you start to feel this, it's kind of like right above, it's between the bottom of your ribs and your belly button, right in that solar plexus in that area. **Michelle:** So you can put your hands there Before I actually go into the description of how to do it, I wanna talk about what it does. Breath of fire is incredible for [00:11:00] digestion and it is one of the more stimulating breaths, and I remember one of my teachers mentioning That there was like a saying that as many breaths as you breathe, that we only have a certain amount of breaths for our life. **Michelle:** And that is why it's important to breathe slow. And the slower we breathe, the longer we can live. And I asked about this one because it's actually a very rapid type of breath, and they said, well, it's considered one breath because it's, you're not fully exhaling. **Michelle:** You're kind of like pumping throughout the whole time that you're doing it. So it's actually considered one breath. It's not considered, many different breaths. **Michelle:** so another thing, the reason why it's called Breath of Fire is because in Ayurvedic medicine, a lot of times they refer to something called Agni, which is our digestif fire. And that justifier, I guess you can say correlates to really our ability to break down foods And really the acid that we have in our stomach that can cook the [00:12:00] food and ultimately the breath of fire. And Agni is very, very important. And sometimes people will have diminished Agni from drinking too much cold or not really eating correctly. And so we don't want that. We wanna actually kindle that fire because when you kindle that fire, it will protect your body, increase your immune system, and also break down foods so that the rest of the digestive system, is able to really assimilate the nutrition from the food. **Michelle:** Another thing that it can do is clear, stagnant energy. And then when stagnant energy gets cleared, then you're getting more flow in the body and Prana is able to really move. So. This is one of the most powerful breaths to really get things moving. And the only thing that I would say with this, and really everything that I'm saying is not medical advice. **Michelle:** And I would also say be cautious. If you are about to do a retrieval, I would not do this breath because they are afraid [00:13:00] of ovarian torsion and this is something that you don't wanna mess with. So, and it is a very powerful and moving type of breath. **Michelle:** But I'd like to compare it to when the Native Americans used fire for brushes, you know, for, to get rid of like old weeds before they created new or planted new seeds. And this is one of those things, you're getting things outta the way, you're burning out the stagnation with this breath in order to get more flow and more new energy coming into the body. **Michelle:** so here's how you do it. So in between the bottom of your ribs and your belly button, so put your hand there and you could put both hands, one on top of the other. And what you do is you forcefully exhale, and you will find that when you do that, you're naturally going to bounce back almost like a rubber band where it just inhales. **Michelle:** By nature. And then you don't worry about the inhale 'cause it's gonna happen automatically and you just keep exhaling and you just [00:14:00] pump with the exhale. So you go and you'll feel that bounce when you have your hand there. And over time you'll find that it can get longer and longer as you practice. **Michelle:** In the beginning, you might get tired sooner and sometimes you might even find that it makes you cough. It is so purifying, it will actually make you cough up old mucus in your lungs. So it is pretty wild how it works. **Michelle:** So the next type of breath is called baa, and that is also called the bellows breath. And this is a little bit more active and I'll describe it so that you understand how to do it. **Michelle:** But first let me explain what it does. **Michelle:** So Bas Rica, very similar to the breath of fire, is also a breath that is very active and it can stoke the internal fire in our bodies. **Michelle:** It also involves very, forceful inhales and exhales. But in this case, you're gonna be [00:15:00] using the arms. **Michelle:** It is considered to activate the Kundalini energy in the body. This is the energy that runs up and down our spine and feeds really all of our organs and body **Michelle:** and supports our body's energetic flow. and it also is considered to have a balancing effect on the doshas. If you've watched my Ayurvedic video, I talk about the different doshas, which are really elements in your body, and this is considered to be a good breath that balances all of that. **Michelle:** It can also boost oxygenation and mental clarity. And how you do it is you raise your arms up and you have your hands out. So your hands are completely open and your arms are just raised up, and you inhale as you do that, And as you exhale, you close your hands and you bring your elbows to the side, so you bring your hands down so you inhale with your hands up. [00:16:00] stretch hands, and then you exhale forcefully as you bring it down, as if you're bringing something down or pulling something towards you from the top to the bottom. **Michelle:** So your elbows basically end up by your side and completely folded with your hands next to your shoulders in a fist. So inhale, bring your hands up. Wide open, exhale really forcefully as your hands go down into a fist next to your shoulders. **Michelle:** So this is kind of related to the breath of fire. There's definitely a lot of heat that will be coming out from it, It is a very good practice to really get that energy moving. If you feel like it's stuck. This is great. If you feel a lot of stress and you feel a lot going on. If you wanna come home and you feel like you've had a very stressful day, this is a great way to break that up. **Michelle:** So lastly, I'm going to cover something called Ari, or. Humming bee breath. **Michelle:** [00:17:00] So actually this breath and the way you're supposed to do it is one thing that we know for sure is a technique that stimulates the vagus nerve. And as we know, the vagus nerve is extremely important when it comes to reproductive health That's because it has so many different functions, and one of them, which is really key, is promoting really good digestive health, lowering inflammation, improving sleep, and on and on. **Michelle:** And it basically helps the body get into a parasympathetic mode. And one of the ways that is known to stimulate your vagus nerve is by humming. So this breath And another thing is that when you do hum on an exhale, you are actually by nature because you're using your voice, you slow down your breath. **Michelle:** So this is a great way to slow down your breath as you are exhaling. **Michelle:** So this can also reduce any emotional tension And it could also reduce heart rate and blood pressure. **Michelle:** so what you do for [00:18:00] this breath is inhale, fully hold it at the top, and then exhale with a humming sound. So. **Michelle:** And then you just breathe all the way out. So as you'll notice when you're humming, you actually slow down your breath, so it naturally slows down your breath, which has an immediate impact on any kind of state of anxiety. It will really calm your mind. So this is an amazing thing to do, and you can really do this while you're driving. **Michelle:** Just keep your eyes open for obvious reasons, But you could do this even while you're driving. If you're driving to a doctor's office and you're feeling really nervous, you can do that. a lot of times, om in my car, and this is just kind of one of the things that I do, and I find that it really, it, it feels like I'm singing a song, but I'm just oing. **Michelle:** So it feels really calming on my nervous system. It feels like an internal massage, having that vibration. So that can help a lot. And again, you could do this also at the end of the day if you had a lot of. Things [00:19:00] going on if it was a very intense day, and you can get yourself ready and your nervous system ready for more rest. **Michelle:** And actually that was not my last one. I have one more. and this is something that you can do at all times, and it's called UJA breathing. So if you practice yoga, you may have heard of UJA breathing because it's something that a lot of yogis will teach you to do during your yoga practice, and that is something that you can take with you really throughout the day. And what it is, is causing a little bit of constriction in your throat as you're breathing So that your breath could be a little louder. So it's kind of like this constriction where you're able to feel the breath going through your throat. so it's like making a little bit of a, a humming or a sound while your mouth is closed and you could practice. I'm sure you've done this naturally, even when you were little, And it's a very calming and very grounding breath. **Michelle:** It is thought to increase the lung capacity, and it's [00:20:00] also thought to balance out the heat in the body, and it's also thought to balance out the temperature in the body. So it's kind of like a yin and yang balance. **Michelle:** And it can also, since it's so grounding, promote a meditative state. So it's something that you can do, and this is one of the reasons why a lot of yogis use this during yoga, because ultimately yoga was a, was a practice that prepared yogis to meditate. It got the body into a state where it was able to meditate more deeply. **Michelle:** So just to reiterate, none of this is medical advice. It's not something that should ever take the place of what doctors tell you It should not be something that ever takes the place of medical. **Michelle:** Protocols that you've been given, and also to be aware or talk to your doctor if you are going through IVF, to talk to them about different breathing exercises and perhaps to pause on any of them during the IVF process. [00:21:00] If you have any questions or ideas for future episodes, I would love to hear from you. **Michelle:** I'm very active on Instagram and my handle is at the wholesome lotus fertility. I don't always respond right away, but I always eventually get to all of them. So thank you so much for tuning in today, and I hope you have a beautiful day. [00:22:00]     

A divine process is underway, whether an individual recognizes it or not. All that happens is the will of the Infinite Intelligence that is unfolding the cosmic drama. Evil energies are now in the process of destroying themselves, creating conditions for a renaissance of the highest potencies of God-consciousness to emerge and bring a new world into being. All who love God will soon feel their kundalini rising rapidly toward infinity.

Send us a textWhat exactly is Kundalini energy, and why has it fascinated spiritual seekers across traditions for thousands of years? Dr. Douglas James Cottrell takes us on a profound journey into understanding this mysterious life force that exists within each of us.The Kundalini, Dr. Douglas explains, is the fundamental creative energy that rises from our reproductive centers through the seven chakras of our body—known in biblical terms as the "seven churches." This same force that enables physical procreation can, when properly channeled, unlock extraordinary spiritual awareness and abilities. As this energy ascends through different energy centers, it transforms our perception, potentially allowing us to experience spiritual dimensions as clearly as we perceive the physical world.When fully awakened, a Kundalini experience creates what Dr. Douglas describes as "complete, absolute pleasure" and "all-encompassing love." The sensation envelops you in "the most wonderful, beautiful cocoon of the softest, most sensuous feeling of cloth or love that you can imagine." It's a state of both detachment from worldly concerns and profound connection with everything—a paradoxical experience beyond ordinary consciousness.The conversation explores the balance needed between physical and spiritual expressions of this energy. Practices like celibacy in spiritual traditions aim to build this energy for spiritual development, but Dr. Douglas cautions against extreme approaches. "Don't drop what you're doing and become celibate right now," he advises, comparing such sudden shifts to someone who's never ridden a motorcycle immediately "cranking on the throttle." This energy must be approached gradually—like a mighty river that begins as a manageable trickle.Most fascinating is Dr. Douglas's explanation of how this energy manifests when fully awakened, with practitioners sometimes seeing energy emanating from their hands "like flashlight beams" or experiencing expansions of consciousness that traditional religious art has attempted to capture for centuries. The same force that creates physical life can open doorways to spiritual dimensions—when approached with patience, balance, and respect.Join us as Dr. Douglas demystifies this powerful energy that connects our physical and spiritual selves. Whether you're curious about Eastern spiritual concepts, interested in the science of consciousness, or seeking to understand your own spiritual experiences, this episode offers profound insights into the essence of life energy itself.Support the show

#359 In this episode, Guy welcomed spiritual YouTuber and counselor John Davis. The conversation delved deep into overcoming fears and anxieties, spiritual awakenings, and past life memories. John shares his unique experiences, including his transformation from agnosticism to spiritual awakening through a Kundalini event, and eventually discovering a connection to John the Beloved. They discussed the importance of present moment belief, the simplicity of spiritual truths, and living a life filled with love and positivity. John also spoke about his journey from being a stunt coordinator to a much sought-after spiritual counselor, offering hope and guidance to many. The episode is a blend of personal anecdotes, spiritual teachings, and practical insights aimed at inspiring listeners to find love, overcome fear, and create a positive life. About John: From a young age, John Davis always had out of body experiences, “angel” visitations, and at nineteen a spiritual epiphany that changed the direction of his life. When an intuitive reader told John he "walked with Jesus," intuitively John felt that he had. Over the next year, and nineteen different readers sponteneously walked up and told John of the same past life. ​Still defiant and not wanting this information from "psychics," John found a past life regression therapist and was regressed. John now dedicates his time to sharing what he has learned and how it can change your life.

On this solo episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I dive into a powerful and often overlooked connection in reproductive health, the link between endometriosis and vagal tone. While many approaches to managing endometriosis focus on supplements, surgery, or hormonal therapies, few consider the role of the vagus nerve in regulating inflammation, digestion, and nervous system balance. In this episode, I break down how vagal tone directly influences endo symptoms, and why it could be the missing piece in your healing journey. I also share practical and accessible tools to stimulate vagal tone, from breathwork and cold exposure to acupuncture and mindfulness techniques. Whether you have endometriosis or are simply looking to support your fertility naturally, this episode offers actionable insights to help you regulate your body's stress response and boost overall well-being. Key Takeaways:  Endometriosis is not just a hormonal issue—it's also tied to inflammation, gut health, and nervous system function. Research shows women with endometriosis often have lower vagal tone, which can worsen symptoms. Improving vagal tone can reduce inflammation and support digestion, egg quality, and hormonal balance. Simple practices like belly breathing, humming, and ear massage can stimulate the vagus nerve. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a useful tool for tracking nervous system health and vagal tone.   For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com To learn more about ancient wisdom and fertility, you can get Michelle's book at: https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility The Wholesome Fertility facebook group is where you can find free resources and support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/ Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/ Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Welcome back to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast. I'm your host, Michelle Orbitz, and today we're diving into a powerful and often overlooked connection when it comes to reproductive health and specifically with endometriosis. And this is the link between endometriosis and vagal tone. So that is definitely something that I haven't heard of originally when I first got into this work, and it's definitely something that you don't really see much out there. So endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition where tissues similar to the lining of the uterus called the endometrium grow outside of the uterus. The tissue can be found on ovaries, fallopian tubes, and outer surfaces of the uterus, and even at times. On the bladder or the intestines, if it's really, really severe each month, just like normal, you shed the [00:01:00] uterine lining and misplaced tissue responds to those hormonal changes. So this can cause a lot of pain and it can also lead to inflammation scarring and the formation of adhesions, which are bands of scar tissues that can cause organs to stick together. So some of the common symptoms include chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, so you can really feel severe pain where it's to the point where you can't really function when you're getting your period. It can also happen to increase pain during sex, and many times it is linked to a lot of digestive imbalances and microbiome imbalances as well. This can often cause issues. Also trying to conceive, in many cases people might need surgery. There are many different things that people can do. Of course there are supplements that people can take. And today I'm gonna talk more about the connection between the [00:02:00] vagal tone and endometriosis. So it's really fascinating. It's not something that you'll find often, but I'm very excited to share this. And if you wanna find out more, stay tuned. Welcome to the Wholesome Fertility Podcast.

And today I'm gonna talk more about the connection between the [00:02:00] vagal tone and endometriosis. So. It's really fascinating. It's not something that you'll find often, but I'm very excited to share this and if you wanna find out more, stay tuned.  So now that I mentioned what endometriosis is and really the condition and how it can impact your fertility health, I'm gonna also talk about vagal tone and really what the connection is between the vagal tone and endometriosis. If you heard some of my earlier episodes, you'll know that I talk a lot about the vagus nerve and about how the nervous system is so impactful when it comes to reproductive health. It's gotten to the point where that has become my [00:03:00] obsession as a fertility practitioner. It is so important and it really explains the yin and the yang process and really how the body's able to get into a homeostasis and regulate itself. And it's so pivotal when it comes to fertility health. So the vagus nerve is a cranial nerve, and it's the largest cranial nerve in the body, but it plays an incredibly important role. And I've mentioned this before, but I'm gonna mention it again in case you haven't seen it before. What it does is it actually communicates with the enteric nervous system which is your digestive nervous system, and it's , hundreds of millions of neurons that go throughout your whole digestive process. And it can be one of the causes for people having issues with digestion when there's a low vagal tone. Because it is so impactful when it comes to digestion, and one of the things that Vagus nerve does is that it impacts the parasympathetic or rest and digest [00:04:00] aspect of the body. So when your body is in parasympathetic, that is the optimal time to digest food, and it can also cause a more. Calm state of mind where your body is not in fight or flight, but it's more regenerative. So when it is in fight or flight, it's a little bit more of a sympathetic response. Now, there's nothing wrong with being in the sympathetic response. It's not like the bad state to be in. It's actually part of our nervous system and part of the autonomic nervous system, which composes of both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. But when it becomes too chronic, then it can cause a lot of different problems, and the body gets into a more survival state. So vagal tone basically refers to the vagus nerve's ability to function. So the stronger it is, the stronger it functions, the stronger the vagal tone. One of the ways that you can actually measure vagal tone is through something called heart rate variability, HRV, [00:05:00] and you can see many different apps, many different devices that actually measure that. And HeartMath Institute also discusses a lot about that, and they talk about the heart brain coherence, and they look at. Heart rate variability and vagal tone. And there was actually certain types of exercises, , that you can do to actually increase vagal tone and increase heart rate variability and also increase. Just by doing so, heart, brain coherence. So the higher the heart brain coherence and the higher the heart rate variability, the more calm we feel, the better state that we have. And apparently in conditions of endometriosis, the vagal tone. Is actually lower. So one of the things that I would definitely suggest if you do have endometriosis is to improve that vagal tone. And I'm gonna be discussing many, many different ways to do that. So as we know with endometriosis, one of the things that it's linked to is [00:06:00] digestive issues. And the higher the vagal tone and the better the biggest nerve is functioning, the better it can talk to and basically communicate with the enteric nervous system, which is really your. Digestive nervous system. And so we know that when we stimulate the vagus nerve, it can actually improve your digestive system. And when that happens, you're not only improving your ability to take in nutrients, but you're also decreasing the inflammation in the body, which is really pivotal when it comes to not just endometriosis, but egg quality and overall. Fertility health. So this is something that anybody who's going through the fertility journey, male or female, can benefit from regardless if you have endometriosis or not. So just to kind of go back on the endometriosis topic, one of the ways really the only true way that you can know if you have endometriosis is by getting [00:07:00] a laparoscopy. It is a surgery, so I'm not saying to go and do that. However, if you suspect that you might have endometriosis based on inflammation, gut imbalance, really strong menstrual pain, pain with periods and kind of lower back pain around that time, then you could still do this because you're gonna benefit from it anyway. So I would go and talk to your doctor if you do suspect that you have endometriosis to get your options. So besides looking at heart rate variability, you may kind of realize if your heart rate variability is high or your vagal tone is high based on how well you get back from really stressful situations. So if you are the type of person that. Gets anxious pretty easily. Startles really easily has like an off nervous system, gets really nervous around people. That's okay to a certain extent, if it's not [00:08:00]chronic, if it's not something that's really impacting your life. But if it is impacting your life and it's something that happens and when you get out of those environments that trigger that. You continue feeling like that, that may mean that you have a lower vagal tone, which means that you're not able to adapt from one state of stress to a more calm state of your nervous system. So while that doesn't confirm heart rate variability, and ultimately the best thing to do is really to measure it, and you can measure it with many devices like even, or ring, you know, there's many devices that actually track your body and your heart rate variability. And that would be the ultimate way to confirm it, but there are definitely symptoms that you can feel as well. So studies do confirm that women have a lower vagal tone if they have endometriosis, and that a lower vagal tone is also linked with higher inflammatory conditions. , some of the things in life that can impact [00:09:00] vagal tone really do have to do with high stress. So if you're constantly exposed to high stress in your life, that can impact your vagal tone. And also, I've mentioned this before, it's really important to know that if you do have high stress. It's not the end of the world if you have some stress, but high stress chronically can really impact your overall health and it can also throw off your nervous system balance. So even if you have IBS or any kind of gut conditions or inflammation or bloating, I'll be covering things that will also benefit you as well. So what's pretty amazing is that there have been studies, actually animal studies that have shown that increasing that vagus nerve stimulation, which will improve the vagus nerve function has been shown to decrease lesions in animals of endometriosis. This is thought to be because vagus [00:10:00] nerve stimulation can regulate and decrease inflammatory markers in the body. So I'm gonna cover a few ways that you can stimulate your vagus nerve overall. I. So breath work is amazing and it works with the diaphragm, especially belly breath. So as a child, you probably knew how to breathe. You'll see babies breathe from their bellies because that belly breath is actually the way we're supposed to breathe. But as we get older, we actually learn habits that are not really great for breathing. So belly breath is really good. So you could put your hand right underneath your. Ribs, which is where your diaphragm is, and start to use that, really the diaphragm as a muscle and breathe in and out and do this a couple of times a day to retrain yourself. To breathe from the belly. I remember not doing that. And then years ago, learning and retraining myself to the point where it became unconscious and I was just a [00:11:00] belly breather. And it really impacted how I felt in general because I used to have generalized social anxiety. And I remember going in for body work. A massage and the woman said, oh, you're a belly breather. So it, it is something that I was like, oh, I'm so happy. I'm so proud of myself that I actually trained myself. I wasn't even focusing on trying, and she noticed it. So it is something that you can train yourself. It's a habit that we have. It becomes unconscious. So just like a good habit can become unconscious, a bad habit can become unconscious, but you can also change that bad habit to a good unconscious habit. So I've talked about slow, deep breathing, but you can also do something called box breathing, which is inhale to four, hold to four, exhale to four, and then hold out to four. And then you can slowly increase that with time. I remember when I used to teach Kundalini yoga, we had something called, it was like the meditation [00:12:00] aspect of the yoga training, and it was something called the 16 seconds.  breath. We would breathe in so it's not quite the box. It would breathe in to 20, hold for 20, breathe out to 20 and that's 60 seconds. And doing so really calms the mind. And of course you'd have to work yourself up to doing that and not do that right off the bat. 'cause it is very hard and it is a practice you have to build up to. So another thing that can help stimulate the biggest nerve is cold exposure. Now with Chinese medicine, you may have heard me say that it's not really great to have chronic cold exposure. So I often tell people, keep your feet warm or put socks on and don't put your feet on cold tile. Now this is. A chronic thing, this is doing something day in and day out. And also we do have our first kidney point on the bottom of our feet. The kidneys are in charge of our reproductive health, so you don't want that coldness from the tile to come up from the feet [00:13:00] into the channels. So this is why I say that for a day in and day out. But once in a while, you can give yourself a little cold exposure. Doing so, like maybe doing a quick cold shower once in a while is okay. Now, if you are, of course this isn't for everybody. If you are somebody who tends to be cold all the time, this may not be for you. But what they do find is that that quick stress effect of the cold exposure, like even a cold plunge. Can actually stimulate the vagus nerve. So it's a quick stress response. And then the body goes from stress, which is the sympathetic to parasympathetic. It starts to stimulate that nervous system regulation. Another thing that can really be beneficial is gargling or humming. And I personally love to ohm. If I feel really stressed, even if I'm driving, I just om or hum what humming does. Is, it actually slows down your breath. And you may have heard me say this before in [00:14:00] previous episodes, is that when you breathe slow and deep, you actually calm your nervous system. So, and especially your exhale. So the longer your exhale, the calmer your nervous system, and the more it's gonna go into parasympathetic mode. So when you're inhaling and you're exhaling with a hum, it slows it down. It actually stops it from being cleared fast. Of course, meditation and mindfulness. Now, what meditation does is it really gets us to a state of receptivity and a state of listening. When we're in meditation, we're paying attention to ourselves, even ourselves, when we're anxious or we're feeling uncomfortable. When you're feeling that sensation, it's almost like a somatic acknowledgement of your body sensation, so you're aware, you become more aware. Of what happens when you are feeling uncomfortable, and then having those times during the day is really beneficial for that mindfulness to increase. Because the more [00:15:00] you give yourself opportunities to pay attention to yourself, your mind, your body, how it feels, the more mindful you become, the more you can get really tuned in with your nervous system. And that awareness has been shown to really improve your overall physiology, which in turn. Can help your nervous system regulation and your vagal tone. And of course, one of my favorites is acupuncture. Acupuncture can help tremendously, and we actually have a bunch of points that I use often to stimulate the vagus nerve, and part of it is an ears. So another thing that I would suggest if you can't get to acupuncture is just massage your ears or even massage your feet. Anything that really stimulates that calming effect. The ears are one of the ways that we can access the vagus nerve. So I hope you enjoyed this episode, and feel free to share this with anybody that you think can benefit from this information. [00:16:00] It is information that you may not often hear. I haven't heard about it before until I stumbled upon it and I was like, Hmm, that's very interesting. And then the more I learn about the nervous system, the more impacts I see that it has over reproductive health. So I hope this was beneficial for you and.
