Tomorrow is Election Day here in the US. No matter what the outcome is, we have to ask ourselves how we want to proceed. We have taken so much for granted that it's time to stop making assumptions. Far beyond who the next US president is, the truth remains that how we do things matters. Let's talk about this concept. Show Highlights:Getting to the end we want through force and violence is NOT the answer. (Dr. Robert Svoboda brings the truth forward in his Aghora Trilogy that “The ends don't justify the means–the ends ARE the means.”)Think about how you want to achieve your goals.Negative qualities bring negative karma.Relate this to your business and the outcome you want.Lead your work from a place of ease and spaciousness that honors your body and mind.Our only option is to be MORE intentional.A new way is emerging around self-care, energy, and trusting yourself.Can you treat your life like an altar?Finding personal inspiration from a dear friendGetting to the next level requires change.My advice around taking a pause, listening to your intuition, and infusing more intention and care into what you're doingThe question: What can you do to bring more intention and awareness into how you are doing things?Resources:Get 1:1 astrological support to align with your purpose, assess compatibility, and find auspicious timing for launches and sales in a day-long.

We have a repeat guest for you this week, one of our favorite people in the whole wide world. Her name is Linda Lalita Winnick, and she is the founder of Woodstock's Shakti Yoga. Go to enough yoga studios, and you will find that the quality of teaching can be all over the place. Not so at Shakti. Linda's understanding of both hatha yoga - the various yoga poses, and flows – as well as the deeper philosophical aspects of yoga runs so deep that her teaching is not rote; it is spontaneous, in the best sense of the word. She does not teach from memory; she teaches from the heart. We all hear a lot of talk about presence and how to find it. It is always in ample supply during one of her classes at Shakti. Of course, much of yoga, as taught in the U.S., is more like an exercise class than an exploration of anything deeper. That is not the case at Shakti. A certified yoga teacher, with an M.A. in Ayurvedic Medicine and Yoga Philosophy, Linda's teaching of yoga integrates her over three decades of experience as a yoga practitioner and teacher with the principles of exercise physiology and the energetics of Ayurveda, the Science of Life and Longevity. True to the spirit of yoga, Linda continues to study with a number of teachers, including Dr Robert Svoboda (for Ayurveda and Tantra), Dr Parla Jayagopal (for Ayurveda), and Shubraji (Vedanta), and others. Not that long ago, she invited me and Marguerite to an afternoon talk by Shubraji on the lessons of the Bhagavad Gita. So Shakti isn't just a place to fine-tune your body. It's also a place to fine-tune your soul.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you want to know more about accessing your intuition? This episode is about using your intuition as a powerful insight to know what to do next and how to work with the energy of Saturn to overcome obstacles. Join us to learn more!I'm joined by my friend, mentor, and client, Dr. Robert Svoboda. He is an expert in his knowledge of the Vedic sciences from the traditional Indian teachings, and it is an honor to have him on today's show to teach us about working with Saturn. He wrote The Greatness of Saturn, a book I highly recommend if you want to understand your obstacles, triggers, and things that keep you from rising to your highest potential. As the planet that holds and unfolds our karma, Saturn is an important planet to understand. Show Highlights:Why Saturn is the planet we should pay attention to more than any otherThe qualities of Saturn and its effect on usHow Saturn does not encourage quick gratification because of its remoteness, separation, isolation, dissatisfaction, and slownessHow Saturn rules old age, sickness, and deathHow Saturn has positive qualities that can be accessed when we understand discipline and impulse controlWhy Saturn brings a satisfaction that comes gradually—and not a quick and temporary gratificationHow Saturn strips away our desires and helps us see what really mattersHow Saturn helps us see what we are supposed to do in the world–and what we are not supposed to doHow Saturn teaches us to be quiet and calm, enduring what needs to be endured (as we endure, we purify our karmic reality and have better and clearer awareness)How Saturn helps us navigate obstacles, clear space, and learn to be of serviceHow Saturn helps us clarify the right goals for alignment with our dharmaHow we can tune into our intuition to know what to do, with Saturn's helpKey takeaways: “When working with Saturn, we have to be calm and patient, knowing when to rest and how to cultivate our intuition. We have to be willing to change our course and always start slowly when we attempt something new.”Resources and Links:Connect with Dr. Svoboda: WebsiteBook mentioned: The Greatness of Saturn by Dr. Robert SvobodaPrevious podcast episodes with Dr. Svoboda: 57: Reality, Karma and Money and 13: Living Your Dharma and the Indian SciencesGet more info about the 2023 Vibrancy Retreat, an astrology and ayurveda retreat to rejuvenate, go deep into your personal astrology, and plan together for the year ahead.

I'm thrilled to introduce you today to my yoga teacher. We recorded this interview live while we attended a recent retreat in Baja, Mexico, so hopefully, you find any background noises calming and peaceful. Join us to learn more! Scott Blossom is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda. He is very good at elegantly combining science with the experiential practice of yoga. Scott studied for a long time with the founder of Shadow Yoga, Shandor Remete, and he was also a student of Dr. Robert Svoboda. Scott has been teaching yoga since 1997, and he has been an integral part of my life for the past ten years. In today's conversation, Scott shares his journey into traditional Chinese medicine, yoga, and Ayurveda; what lights him up about his work; and his advice to others who are figuring out their purpose. We also discuss the decolonial worldview, waking up the inherent truths inside us, and the important role that yoga can play in this awareness. Show Highlights: Scott's journey as a pre-med student who discovered yoga as a helpful study tool and dove headlong into eastern medicine, meditation, and spiritual practice How Scott combines spirituality and science How Scott works with patients in his clinic to help them trust traditional Chinese medicine in the western world Why prana is called “the nexus between Ayurveda and hatha yoga” The benefit of cultivating a relationship with prana, which comes subtly into yoga with movements How the efficiency of your circulatory system can determine your biological age Scott's work around Ayurveda and the microbiome–and how science is proving now what Ayurveda has always known The core of Ayurveda: how the microcosm and macrocosm reflect each other What it means to Scott to “live in your purpose” Scott's advice to others who are trying to find their purpose What has helped Scott make it through the pandemic by paying attention to basics, like sleep and mental health Why it's important to honor the ancestors of our land, our practice, and our families How a decolonial worldview recognizes the inhumane exploitation of people How yoga, traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda can be ways to re-light a fire within us to preserve indigenous cultures that have been lost Why we have to allow “all the voices” to grieve together and heal together over racial justice Hear Scott's answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something people might not know, what he's reading right now, and what's bringing him joy right now.

When this flow of consciousness is reciprocated, their presence and support is enlivened.Furthermore, us on earth actually have a profound responsibility to assist our ancestors with their evolution.Robert Svododa and Dylan share ways to connect with your ancestors so that you can utilise their energy.
