Stell dir vor, du gehst Anfang Oktober in der kühl-warmen Berliner Herbstsonne im Prenzlberg spazieren, und da entdeckst du ein süßes kleines Café. Das war doch vorher noch nicht da, oder? Neugierig trittst du ein. Verführerischer Kaffeeduft betört deine Nase, französische Musik tanzt leise durch die Lüfte, und neckische Leckereien lächeln dich aus der Auslage an. Deine Zunge benetzt feucht deine Lippen, etwas in deinem Magen tönt ein energisches Omm. Das Ambiente ist hell und verspielt und verrät dir, dass du genau hier bleiben möchtest. Mit einem entspannten Seufzer sinkst du neben ein kleines Tischchen. Hinter der Bar steht diese Elfe, der, wie es scheint, die Sonne aus den Augen scheint. Du lächelst sie an, flüsterst „Wild Life“ und bekommst 10% auf alles. Allerdings bist du am Ende so verzaubert, dass du  20% Trinkgeld gibst. Klingt das wie ein Traum? Im Tantra werden Träume wahr! Heute zu Gast im Wild Life Podcast ist Sarah Frankenreiter, die viele von euch aus dem letzten Jahr bereits als Teilnehmerin und Helferin im Tantratraining, bei Loving Body und von der Wilden Woche kennen. Sie hat auf der Welle ihres Trainings den Schwung genutzt, um mit einem eigenen Café einen Lebenstraum auf die Erde zu bringen. Essen ist Energie, weiß sie, und den Menschen einen liebevollen Zugang zur Energie anzubieten, ist der Kern ihrer Vision und ist auch das, was ihre Mission in tantrischer Weise mit der unseren vereint. Im gemütlichen Kreis sprechen wir mit ihr über Träume, Herzensprojekte, Energie und gutes Essen und darüber, was es heißt, die Energie auf die Straße zu bringen, ins echte Leben, zu den Menschen und in die Welt.

Prana isn't just breath—it's your life force, and it moves in five distinct directions within your body, shaping your emotions, digestion, vitality, and mood. In this episode (Part 1 of a 2-part series), we dive into the 5 Vayus—the energetic currents of prana—and how they influence your inner and outer experience. You'll discover how these ancient teachings connect to the chakras and how yoga practices like pranayama can restore balance and flow. You'll learn:

Learned helplessness quietly shapes every aspect of our lives. People develop limiting beliefs that keep them feeling stuck in a loop of failures, often leading to resignation or a victim mentality. This episode's central idea is to connect learned helplessness to tamas and explain how it can be mistaken for acceptance or passivity. But learned helplessness can be unlearned, tune in to know how.

Can spirituality and money truly coexist? Many people believe that being spiritual means avoiding money and see wealth as a distraction from inner growth. But is money really the problem, or is it our relationship with it? Through thought-provoking insights and practical wisdom, the discussion reframes money as a tool that magnifies our inner state and supports noble causes.Episode HighlightsMoney as Water EnergyMoney is the root of all problemsMoney as a Tool for Growth“Lakshay” and Goddess LakshmiCharity & Spirituality Timestamps: 00:00 - 01:00: Introduction to Money in Spiritual Perspective 01:00 - 04:00: How to incorporate money in life04:00 - 04:30: “Lakshay” and Goddess Lakshmi04:30 - 07:30: Money as a Tool for Growth07:30 - 09:00: Hoarding Money & Greed 09:00 - 11:00: Energy Flow & Charity Book a Consultation with Dr. Vignesh DevrajIf you're interested in a one-on-one Ayurvedic consultation with Dr. Vignesh Devraj, you can schedule your session through this link: https://calendly.com/drvignesh/30-minute-session-with-dr-vignesh-devraj-md-ay-ist For those facing financial difficulties, we offer limited free consultations.

Spirituality can be a powerful force for healing, but what happens when it becomes a mask for avoidance? In this conversation, our guest Ananta Ripa Ajmera explores the rising phenomenon of spiritual bypassing: using spiritual language to escape responsibility, dismiss effort as “divine timing,” or rationalize inaction as destiny.Ananta offers radical responsibility as the antidote: taking full ownership of our choices and recognizing that karma shapes every dimension of life. Drawing on Ayurveda and her own wisdom, she explains how true healing requires more than herbs and therapies; it demands selfless service, emotional honesty, and courage to face our inner wounds.Episode HighlightsSpiritual Bypassing and InactivityReal Meaning of Navratri Karma, Forgiveness, and ServiceBhagavat Gita and Krishna's LessonsThe Path of Radical ResponsibilityTimestamps00:00 – 09:45: Introduction and Spiritual Bypassing09:45 – 22:12: The Goddess Journey Through Chakras22:12 – 24:41: New Beginnings, Forgiveness, and Service24:42 – 31:44: The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita31:45 – 36:52: Friendship with the Self and the Power of Truth36:53 – 42:23: Conflict as Medicine and the Practice of Sthitaprajna42:23 – 51:57: The Path of Radical Responsibility51:57 – 01:01:12: The Essence of Spiritual HealingAbout Ananta Ripa Ajmera A spiritual teacher and 10-time award-winning, 2-time bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way.

Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana est une religieuse française. Elle est disciple d'Amma : Cette grande figure spirituelle contemporaine de l'Inde, hindoue de naissance, sillonne le monde et proclame la religion universelle de l'amour. Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana témoigne ici des questions brûlantes qui ont pris une place de plus importante dès son adolescence, au cours de laquelle elle ne voulait plus croire en ce qu'elle voyait, elle qui en avait « assez des histoires » qu'on lui racontait. Jeune femme, sa quête s'est transformée en obsession de comprendre, de connaître les réponses aux questions essentielles de la vie, et de pouvoir guérir les grands traumatismes de son enfance. Elle décrit ses découvertes progressives de l'Inde, dont on dit qu'elle est « une terre où poussent les âmes ». À la recherche d'un maître spirituel qui puisse lui apporter des réponses indiscutables, elle revient sur les trois rencontres les plus déterminantes de sa vie : Ma Anandamoyi, Arnaud Desjardins et Amma.    Avec Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana, nous partons à la découverte d'une spiritualité à la fois profondément ancrée dans les traditions orientales, notamment hindoue et bouddhiste, et nous ne cessons de relever leurs multiples ressemblances et leurs liens profonds avec le christianisme. En s'attardant davantage sur le rayonnement d'Amma, elle nous révèle le cœur du message des grands maîtres spirituels qu'elle a suivi. Un message qui va justement au cœur et à sa purification, à l'acceptation et l'émerveillement du réel, à la libération des souffrances. Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana nous confie également pourquoi elle a accepté, après avoir vécu de longues années en Inde, de fonder en France le premier asram d'Amma en Europe, là où nous l'avons rencontrée. Elle nous explique son attachement à Amma, et nous dit que, si elle a choisi de transmettre en terre française sa spiritualité plutôt qu'une autre, c'est « parce qu'elle est celle que j'ai reçue ». Aujourd'hui, avec toute sa communauté, Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana prépare la venue très proche d'Amma, qui sera de retour en France dès la fin du mois d'octobre. En écoutant Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana, on ne peut plus nier l'évidence que tous les hommes et les femmes de ce monde sont issus d'une même Création, voulus et aimés par une même puissance divine. Celle-ci s'exprime dès qu'elle le peut, en nous offrant des guides et des maîtres qui ressemblent tellement au Christ. Lui qui incarne pour nous la plus grande figure. Il est l'alpha et l'omega, l'archétype de toute l'humanité, qu'il libère du mal, et fait ainsi accéder au Royaume des Cieux.   Pour découvrir le site Amma France, et toutes les informations sur sa prochaine venue à Aix en Provence et à Chartres, cliquer ici.  --------------      Pour lire Le bonheur est une décision, le livre de Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana, cliquer ici. OUI  Chers amis, chers auditeurs de Zeteo, « La vérité est tellement simple, un seul mot la résume : oui » Cette parole citée par Swamini Amrita Jyoti Prana, l'invitée de l'épisode de ce jour, elle est celle de Swami Prajnanpad, l'un des plus grands sages du XXème siècle en Inde. Ce mot, le plus simple, le plus ouvert, le plus positif et le plus aimant qui existe, est ici le fruit de l'acceptation et de l'émerveillement de ce qui est, de tout ce qui est. Il me fait penser au « Fais de moi ce qu'il te plaira » de Charles de Foucauld. Cette voie de la simplicité, elle semble tellement difficile, voire impossible parfois. Elle est pourtant celle à laquelle nous savons tous, au plus intime, qu'elle est vraie et même unique. Il en faut, des rencontres, des enseignements, des témoignages, des illuminations même, comme des joies et des tristesses, pour en arriver là. C'est notre chemin à tous. Avec cette merveilleuse transmission, offerte aujourd'hui par une religieuse française à la spiritualité si inspirante, je voudrais ajouter un autre mot. Il est aussi beau, et il exprime à lui tout seul et au mieux tout ce que je voudrais dire à tous ceux qui nous ont manifesté leur soutien ces derniers jours : Merci La mission continue. Elle est tellement belle, joyeuse, lumineuse souvent, difficile parfois aussi. Merci à tous de la rendre possible, et de lui apporter tant de beauté et d'amour. Merci pour vos prières. Nous avons tous besoin les uns des autres.

In today's episode, delve into the root causes of anxiety through the lens of both modern science and Ayurvedic wisdom. Unlike what the common Indian society preaches, anxiety is not just “all in the mind”; it is the body's natural response to perceived threats, often triggered by imagination rather than reality. Dr. Vignesh shares how Ayurveda views anxiety as an imbalance of Vata dosha, and how misdirected creative energy can spiral into worry and fear.Through practical tools and Ayurvedic insights, you'll learn how to reframe anxiety into resilience and curiosity, cultivating clarity and balance in everyday life.Get free episode abstract: https://vigneshdevraj.comThe details of our upcoming course on healing from anxiety will be announced shortly on our Instagram page.

Subtle Body – NadisYoga is the mastery of self-knowledge, while Tantra is the mastery of Prana's power. Weaving asana, pranayama, mudra, kriya, mantra, and philosophy, we aim to empower ourselves with loving awareness to fulfill our purpose. Yoga is the management of prana, the life force that animates and sustains us physically, mentally, and emotionally.The subtle body, or Sukshma Sharira, bridges the physical and spiritual realms through nadis (energy channels) and chakras (energy centers). The three main nadis: Sushumna (central), Ida (left, lunar), and Pingala (right, solar)...govern prana flow and balance. Kundalini, the dormant spiritual energy at the spine's base, rises through Sushumna, purifying chakras and leading to spiritual awakening.Practices help activate and harmonize the subtle body, enabling physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual growth. While siddhis (psychic abilities) may arise, the goal remains self-realisation and unity with the divine, fostering transformation with guidance and humility.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, Ryan Seaman made his way west in pursuit of fame and fortune as an actor and screenwriter. During a three-year stint on Days of Our Lives, while co-writing a feature film screenplay that was fast-tracked at a major studio, all his dreams appeared to be coming true. His Saturn Return, however, had other plans. After a series of disruptive (read: agonizing) plot twists, Ryan pivoted from the call of his ego - the dramatic arts - and heeded the call of his soul: the healing arts.After twenty-plus years as a transformational bodyworker, yogi and astrologer, Ryan opted for the road less traveled. From spending seventeen years in a Gurdjieffian mystery school, to co-creating a graphic novel series titled: The Medicine Gate, to working extensively with plant medicine in South America, to receiving a direct transmission of astrology in Egypt, and co-founding a superfood pancake & waffle company called: Living Prana, Ryan remains forever in awe of and humbled by the undeniable influence our solar system has on the events we experience here on Earth, and the path it lays out for each of us to follow.In this episode, I welcome Ryan back for the second time as we go deep into the first transits of 2025 culminating in a powerful March eclipse season. We then explore the upcoming shifts for the rest of the year including the larger arc of Aquarian shifts we are experiencing collectively. Lastly, we dive into the next generation of neurodivergent and gifted youth as well as Ryan's company, Living Prana, and his passion for healthy living.While this episode is coming out already at the halfway point of 2025, may you find it useful for reflecting on the past few months and preparing for the months to come, including another eclipse season on the horizon.

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]

What is a Micro-Dose of Mindfulness? We often think mindfulness has to mean 20 minutes on a cushion, a silent retreat, or a full yoga class. But Ayurveda and yogic wisdom remind us that it's not about how long you practice — it's about how often you return to presence.
