¿Y si no fueras solo un cuerpo?¿Y si, más allá de tu respiración, hubiera una fuerza que te respira… desde dentro y desde fuera?En este episodio comparto una reflexión profunda sobre el Aliento de Vida, esa presencia sutil que muchas culturas antiguas reconocieron —como el Prāṇa, el Qi, el Ka o el Ruaj— y que en la Terapia Biodinámica Craneosacral se percibe de forma directa, viva y transformadora.Te invito a abrir tu atención, a experimentar con la respiración desde otro lugar, y a sentir que hay una inteligencia mayor que te sostiene, te organiza y te habita.Porque no estás solo.Estás siendo respirado.

Hello, hello, hello everybody! We are back in the podcast studio, and Mason Taylor, founder of SuperFeast, is resuming his role as host. Joining him is Tahnee, co-host of the of the SuperFeast podcast, who will now make occasional appearances as a guest, especially focusing on women's health and cultivation practices.   Mason and Tahnee dive into the fascinating stage of SuperFeast's existence, discussing how the business navigates commercial demands while upholding its foundational "source essence" – the ontological storytelling that defines its purpose: "to dramatically reduce disease and degeneration, creating super humans who may enter into the realm of elderhood." They explore the "birth pain" of growing a business and draw parallels between birthing a business and birthing a child, highlighting the unique "male opportunity" in creating something tangible that lives forever.   The conversation delves into the core tenets of Daoism, particularly the concept of "from the Dao comes the one, then the two (yin yang), then the three (Jing, Qi, Shen), and from the three you get everything (the 10,000 things)." They emphasize the importance of not getting "trapped in the world of 10,000 things" – the endless details, protocols, and symptoms – and instead focusing on cultivating the "three treasures" (Jing, Qi, and Shen) for a well-rounded and meaningful life, aiming to "slide into the grave light" rather than deteriorating.   Mason expresses his desire to re-engage with the "enjoyment of the 10,000" while always linking it back to the foundational three treasures. They discuss the importance of cleansing the "heart mind" and cultivating an inner antenna to navigate life's initiations and make authentic choices. The goal is to move beyond external validation and dogma, fostering a deeply personal cultivation practice that prepares one for elderhood and a "good death."   The episode concludes with a look ahead at future topics, including interviews with practitioners and discussions about specific herbs, all framed within the context of the three treasures and the ultimate mystery of the Dao. Tahnee also shares about her "Birth Magic Course" and the upcoming "Daoist Energetics" course, inviting listeners to connect with them and stay tuned for regular episodes. It's a rich conversation about ancient wisdom applied to modern life, business, and personal well-being.   Key Insight From This Episode: 00:00:00 - Introduction: Mason and Tahnee return to the SuperFeast podcast, discussing their roles and Tahnee's "Body of Wisdom" podcast. 00:02:31 - SuperFeast's Evolution: Navigating commercial growth while maintaining the business's "source essence" and purpose. 00:04:35 - The "Birth Pain" of Business: Parallels between birthing a business and birthing a child, and the "male opportunity" in creation. 00:11:42 - Daoist Core Tenets: Exploring the Dao, Yin Yang, Jing Qi Shen, and the 10,000 things, and the importance of cultivation over symptoms. 00:14:52 - Cultivating the Three Treasures: Protecting essence (Jing), activating energetic flow (Qi), and expressing unique spirit (Shen). 00:18:36 - Sovereignty and Inner Antenna: Moving beyond external dogma to cultivate a personal practice and make authentic choices. 00:24:04 - Re-engaging with the 10,000 Things: Mason's desire to find enjoyment in the material world while staying grounded in the three treasures. 00:30:43 - The Art of Dying Well: Discussing mortality, grief, and how cultivation prepares one for elderhood and a "good death." 00:04:35 - Tahnee's Offerings: Information on Tahnee's "Birth Magic Course" and the "Daoist Energetics" course.   Mentioned In This Episode - "Body of Wisdom" podcast (Tahnee's podcast) - "Birth Magic Course" (Tahnee's course) - "Daoist Energetics" course (Tahnee's course) - Shennong Bencaojing (classical Chinese medicine text) - Wuxing (Five Phases/Elements concept) - The Red Hand Files (Nick Cave's email letter/blog)

Long before “cold damage” became a checkbox on exams or a buzzword among classical enthusiasts, Dr. Liu Du-Zhou was quietly doing the work—teaching, treating, and writing from a mind steeped in both lineage and clinical experience. He wasn't just preserving tradition; he was refining it. His approach to the Shang Han Lun was rigorous yet poetic, grounded in clinical realities and shaped by decades of upheaval in 20th-century China. There's a humility to his voice—a self-proclaimed “still-learning” doctor in his seventies—and a precision that cuts through theory to show how fire and water, yin and yang, truly move through the human body.In this conversation with Eran Even, we explore Dr. Liu's remarkable clarity and how it comes through in a slim but potent book that Eran has translated into English. Eran walks us through the experience of engaging deeply with Liu's thinking, from the literary style of Zhang Zhong-Jing to the physiological relevance of Qi transformation.Listen into this discussion as we trace the importance of channel theory, the overlooked presence of water pathologies in the modern clinic, the inner workings of fire and fluid dynamics, and how Liu Du-Zhou's reflections on the six confirmations can shift the way we understand both health and disease.

Whether you're tuning into the Holistic Healing Hour podcast or catching the latest videos on my YouTube channel, we're always exploring ways to live healthier and happier.Recently, I've been thinking about some fundamental questions regarding our well-being. On the podcast, we asked: Feeling drained despite getting enough rest? Could unseen energy imbalances be the culprit? (Expand on this, briefly discuss the concept of energy in holistic healing, perhaps mentioning Qi or other relevant concepts without getting too technical. Refer back to the podcast episode if applicable).And over on YouTube, the question we posed was: Is your daily routine truly supporting your long-term well-being, or are there hidden pieces of the puzzle missing? (Discuss the importance of daily habits, perhaps show some examples of simple wellness practices like mindful movement, healthy eating tips, or stress reduction techniques. Refer to relevant YouTube videos).It's so important to look beyond just the obvious aspects of health. Sometimes, the key in the equation for feeling truly vibrant ,lies in understanding the subtle energies within us and making small, consistent adjustments to our daily routines. Whether it's exploring holistic energy practices on the podcast or incorporating simple wellness habits you see on the YouTube channel, remember that every step, no matter how small, contributes to your overall well-being.I encourage you to ponder these questions and explore the resources on both my podcast and YouTube channel.

Nick and Ange are joined by a Last One Laughing star - and the Dish table sees its first proposal. Lou Sanders is a comedian, writer and podcaster who has appeared on TV shows including QI, Dancing on Ice, Would I Lie to You, Live at the Apollo and Taskmaster, which she won in 2019. She joins us at the tail end of her latest stand-up tour, No Kissing in the Bingo Hall, and following her iconic appearance in Last One Laughing.  Earlier this year Lou launched a brand new podcast, A Psychic Told Us To Do It, with her best friend Georgie Bayford. The show puts Lou's passion for the spiritual front and centre, featuring chats about pet psychics, witchcraft, holistic foot therapy and manifesting. You can also read all about Lou's life and career in her 2023 book, What's That Lady Doing?. Angela serves a delicious creamy mushroom & pistachio tagliatelle, with a side of sauteed garlic and spinach. Our Waitrose wine experts suggest pairing this with a glass of  Val di Suga Brunello di Montalcino but, for Lou, it's served with a glass of Thomson & Scott Noughty Rouge Dealcoholized Wine.  As you would expect, conversations in this episode roam freely, contemplating all the big questions: Is Lou in her gardening era?; Is her cat Bobert her husband from a past life?; And what is the deal with raw onion? Our tagliatelle dish is a vegan hit, earning Lou's seal of approval right from the first sniff, and the Fast Food Quiz finally meets its match.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish We can't all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.  Send your dilemmas to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she'll try to answer them in a future episode. Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions.

Even though today's world is a nightmare for our mental health, does modern medicine have the answer? For many patients, the answer is, "no," but there may be another way. For two thousand years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been effectively treating anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other conditions using herbal medicine and other healing modalities. In her book, Chinese Medicine for the Mind: A Science-Backed Guide to Improving Mental Health with Traditional Chinese Medicine, Nina Cheng, founder of The Eastern Philosophy Chinese Medicine Company, accompanied by a team of renowned practitioners and scholars of Chinese medicine, share practical, accessible remedies and protocols you can use to improve your mental and emotional well-being. Supported by historical primary sources and modern clinical research, Nina's book offers and intro to TCM and its unique approach to mental health. Each chapter covers a common mental health condition–anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADHD, brain fog, and trauma–exploring how Chinese medicine has historically approached these conditions, describing common patterns associated with unique symptoms, and prescribing specific remedies you can access in your everyday life. For anyone who has struggled with their mental health or is looking to better understand TCM's approach to healing both the mind and body, this book offers natural, time-tested solutions.

Hey Heal Squad! We're kicking off a fascinating two-part episode with Dr. Christopher Motley, a leading expert in functional kinesiology and Chinese medicine. In Part 1, Dr. Motley opens up about his personal health journey with Lyme disease, and how becoming his own best case study led him to uncover the root causes of chronic illness through energy medicine and frequency healing. He breaks down the hidden reason so many people stay sick: blocked drainage pathways. From EMFs and heavy metals to trapped emotions and mold toxicity, Dr. Motley explains how these invisible stressors overload the body, disrupt your lymphatic system, and stall healing at the deepest level. We also dive into how trauma gets stored in your organs, what viruses like Epstein-Barr have to do with hormone issues and fatigue, and why your body's Qi—your electromagnetic life force—could be the key to real, lasting transformation. If you've tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode will help you finally connect the dots and understand your symptoms in a whole new light. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Drainage is the foundation of healing. Before you detox, your drainage pathways (like the lymphatic system and liver) need to be open. If they're blocked, toxins can't leave the body, and you stay stuck in survival mode. Your body holds emotional memories. Trapped emotions from past trauma can get stored in specific organs, silently contributing to chronic illness, hormone imbalance, and nervous system dysregulation. Mold and metals are hidden saboteurs. Many people with brain fog, fatigue, or mysterious symptoms are dealing with toxic overload from mold exposure or heavy metals—and most don't even know it. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox  GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctormotley Website: https://www.doctormotley.com/  Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ancient-health-podcast/id1493717594  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Did you know your fertility could be declining due to something deeper than hormone levels or age? In this solo episode, I explore a powerful yet often overlooked aspect of reproductive health through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Kidney Qi. In TCM, the kidneys are not just responsible for filtering blood—they are the energetic source of your reproductive potential. I unpack how Kidney Jing (essence), Yin and Yang imbalances, and pre-heaven vs. post-heaven Qi all influence egg and sperm quality, libido, menstrual health, and even your nervous system. You'll learn how to recognise the signs of weakened Kidney Qi and discover lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset shifts to nourish this vital essence naturally. This episode is packed with practical tips and ancient wisdom to help you reverse the hidden energetic causes of declining fertility and move forward with more confidence and vitality. Key Takeaways: In Chinese medicine, fertility is rooted in Kidney Jing, the essence we inherit from our parents and support throughout life. Signs of depleted Kidney Qi can include fatigue, night sweats, low libido, shortened cycles, delayed ovulation, and emotional anxiety. Anti-aging and egg/sperm quality are closely tied to mitochondrial health, which reflects the state of your Kidney Qi. Lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, nutrition, and warmth (especially around your lower back and feet) can significantly boost reproductive vitality. Foods that nourish Kidney Jing include bone broth, goji berries, black sesame seeds, walnuts, seaweed, dark leafy greens, and cooked foods over raw. Practices like acupuncture, meditation, and even visualization can support Kidney Qi and overall reproductive wellness.     For more information about Michelle, visit www.michelleoravitz.com Grab your copy of my Be Calmm ebook—a mind-body guide to creating a fertility-friendly nervous system https://www.michelleoravitz.com/be-calmm  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.

That spontaneous reach-and-sigh might be more than a reaction to stiffness.In this “Did You Know?” episode of the Wellness Inspired Podcast, Sheri Davidson, wellness coach and acupuncturist, unpacks the fascinating biology and energetic significance of natural stretching, also known as pandiculation. From nervous system resets to liver Qi flow, discover how these involuntary movements are your body's way of restoring rhythm and resilience.In this episode, you'll discover:What pandiculation is and how it resets your nervous systemHow stretching stimulates the vagus nerve and improves circulationThe Traditional Chinese Medicine view of spontaneous movement and Qi flowWhy these natural stretches may be releasing more than just tension“That stretch you didn't plan?

This week's podcast episode is an insightful interview with Lisa Li, the founder of The Qi, a company dedicated to flower teas. Conducted in a serene New York City space, the discussion explores Lisa's personal health journey—from a challenging thyroid disease that was healed through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to her subsequent decision to create naturally caffeine-free herbal teas due to her sensitivity to caffeine.  She highlights the medicinal properties and energetic balance of various flower teas, such as goji berries, chrysanthemum, and rose, explaining their roles as anti-inflammatory, detoxing, and nourishing agents. The interview delves into the philosophies of Eastern culinary traditions, emphasizing "light and gentle" flavors that support digestive health, contrasting them with Western preferences for "extra" flavors. A significant part of the conversation focuses on the importance of self-care and evening rituals for better sleep, advocating for herbal teas as a healthy alternative to addictive sleeping aids. Lisa also introduces several of The Qi's specific tea blends, explaining their benefits, ingredients, and the careful formulation process guided by TCM principles.  Check out the show notes at https://thisismodernaging.com/podcast/ ABOUT LISA As a child who grew up Northeast of Beijing, I drank a lot of teas with my grandma. And those moments were some of the most nourishing and healing times of my life. Holistic wellness for me as a child was much like brunch… it was simply a way of a joyful life. After feeling stressed, anxious, and burnt out from working in the notoriously grueling fashion industry for 10+ years I desperately wanted to go back to a time and place where taking care of myself was simple and wonderful. In the beginning of 2018 I took a transformative trip with my mom to Shangri-la, Yunnan where I discovered the Rose tea the locals enjoy. It was so unique and special - it was like nothing I've ever had, it transported me to a whole new floral paradise universe.  After tasting and testing over 100 flowering herbs and tens of thousands miles more traveled to source the finest ones The Qi was born. To bring you the most beautiful sensory tea ritual for a daily dose of Zen, beauty, and nourishment.

In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson Business Advisors' Barley Bowler and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle complex listener questions covering bonus depreciation regulations, short-term to long-term rental property transitions, and the intricate tax ordering rules for combining stock losses with real estate gains. They explore nonprofit structures for foster care services, explain 1031 exchange debt requirements for orthodontic practice sales, and provide guidance on entity selection between partnerships and S-corporations for different business types. You'll hear how and when to handle Ponzi scheme theft loss deductions, corporate trading structures for stock income reduction, and the critical tax implications of providing company cars to family employees for personal use. Tune in for expert insights on these advanced tax strategies and planning considerations! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "Regarding section 168 bonus depreciation, it says to qualify for 100% the property must have been purchased after January 20th, 2025. Does that mean property purchased in 24 but not put into use till 2025 would not qualify?" –This is proposed legislation, not current law yet. "What are the tax implications of shifting properties from short-term rental to long-term rental after leveraging cost segregation reports to accelerate depreciation to offset some W2 income?" – Cannot do both in same year; changes passive loss treatment. "Can you use short-term stock loss carryover to offset real estate depreciation recapture and capital gains?" – Yes, but only after specific tax code ordering rules. "In the state of Florida, could parent fostering be conducted as a nonprofit business entity?" – Cannot earmark nonprofit funds for specific individuals or children. "My husband's selling his orthodontic practice using a 1031 option. Can he pay off the existing loan before reinvesting the profit?" – Yes, QI will pay off debt; need equal/greater replacement debt. "My S corporation business doesn't have cash flow to reimburse me for all benefits. Can I add unpaid reimbursements to my balance sheet like an owner loan?" – Need specific analysis of cash flow and reimbursement timing. "My wife and I have a holding company LLC and multiple subsidiary LLCs currently taxed as partnerships. Should they be changed to S-corp?" – Real estate stays partnership; operating businesses - consider S-corp election. "In a Ponzi scheme, does the discovery year have to be the year charges are filed?" – Discovery year when you become aware through government notification. "Would establishing an LLC help me reduce tax on income from stock trading?" – Consider corporate trading partner structure for meaningful capital gains. "Our C corp employs our son part-time. What are the tax implications of buying him a car for personal use only?" – Buy in his name, increase salary; avoid corporate ownership.

Johann Hari est journaliste et auteur de plusieurs best-sellers, dont Stolen Focus (traduit en français sous le titre On vous vole votre attention). Dans cet épisode en anglais, nous avons parlé ensemble d'un sujet qui nous concerne toutes et tous : la perte de notre capacité de concentration, cet effritement de notre attention auquel nous sommes confrontés au quotidien, sans vraiment comprendre pourquoi ni comment y faire face.Je dois dire que cette conversation m'a profondément marqué. J'ai découvert Johann à travers ses livres, mais surtout à travers sa rigueur journalistique et sa volonté sincère de comprendre les phénomènes qui bouleversent nos vies. Nous partageons cette curiosité commune, cette envie de creuser au-delà des évidences. Et c'est avec une immense joie que je l'ai accueilli dans Vlan pour explorer ce sujet brûlant.Dans cet épisode, je l'ai interrogé sur les causes profondes de notre distraction chronique. Pourquoi avons-nous tant de mal à lire un livre, à rester concentré sur une tâche ou à avoir une conversation profonde ? Est-ce notre faute ? Est-ce une question de volonté ? Ou sommes-nous les victimes d'un système bien plus complexe, bien plus insidieux ?Johann a voyagé à travers le monde, rencontré plus de 250 experts pour comprendre ce qui sabote notre capacité de concentration. Il identifie 12 facteurs majeurs qui nous volent littéralement notre attention : de la manière dont les réseaux sociaux sont conçus pour nous rendre accros, à l'impact du manque de sommeil, de l'alimentation industrielle, de la pollution de l'air, de l'hyperstress… Rien n'est laissé au hasard.Nous avons parlé de son filleul, devenu incapable de vivre sans ses écrans, de l'histoire édifiante d'un séjour à Graceland, et des ingénieurs de la Silicon Valley rongés par la culpabilité. Nous avons abordé les liens entre attention individuelle et attention collective, et donc les conséquences démocratiques de cette crise. Parce que oui, sans attention, il n'y a plus de débat, plus de dialogue, plus de démocratie.Enfin, nous avons exploré des solutions. Des gestes simples à adopter dans notre quotidien, mais aussi des actions collectives pour transformer le système. Johann appelle à une véritable "rébellion de l'attention", un mouvement pour reprendre le contrôle de nos vies mentales, de notre temps, de notre liberté intérieure.Un épisode puissant, lucide, documenté et profondément humain. À écouter absolument si vous avez le sentiment de perdre pied dans un monde qui va toujours plus vite.Citations marquantes"Votre attention ne s'est pas effondrée, elle vous a été volée.""On croit faire des choix, mais dans un environnement qui est truqué contre nous.""Être interrompu est deux fois pire pour votre QI que de fumer un joint.""Personne ne veut vivre dans le monde que les ingénieurs de la Silicon Valley ont créé.""Nous ne sommes pas des paysans médiévaux : nous pouvons reprendre le contrôle."10 questions poséesPourquoi avons-nous autant de mal à nous concentrer aujourd'hui ?Est-ce que les smartphones ont détruit une génération ?Sommes-nous collectivement malades en tant que société ?Pourquoi croyons-nous être multitâches alors que ce n'est pas possible ?Comment la technologie est-elle conçue pour capter notre attention ?Le monde s'accélère-t-il vraiment, et à quel prix ?Pourquoi le sommeil est-il fondamental pour la concentration ?Que fait l'industrie alimentaire à notre cerveau ?Comment agir individuellement contre la distraction ?Quel modèle économique alternatif pour les réseaux sociaux ?Timestamps clés pour YouTube00:00:00 : Introduction – pourquoi notre attention décline00:02:20 : L'histoire touchante de son filleul accro aux écrans00:08:50 : Smartphones et génération détruite ?00:13:00 : Le mythe du multitâche00:19:00 : L'accélération du monde00:23:30 : Le sommeil et ses effets invisibles00:30:00 : Les algorithmes et la colère comme business model00:38:00 : L'importance de l'oisiveté pour la démocratie00:50:00 : Le besoin d'un mouvement collectif01:04:00 : Changer le business model des réseaux sociaux Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #280 Addiction aux écrans : reprendre le contrôle avec Kenneth Schlenker (https://audmns.com/uOylwQa) #349 Le superpouvoir de la curiosité avec Alexandre Dana (https://audmns.com/fFNNHqm) Vlan #42 Les algorithmes au coeur de l'économie de l'attention avec Stéphan Eloise Gras (https://audmns.com/ATcgcQw)Distribué par Audiomeans.

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]
