The body is the vehicle in which we have be blessed with to experience all of life’s complexities and subtleties with. Let’s take a moment of our day to appreciate how blessed we are.

In this episode, we explore a simple breathing technique that can help awaken a deeper appreciation for the gift of the breath. In the yoga tradition, “kumbhaka” exists when you retain your breath after inhaling and exhaling. This is a great way to feel the presence of the breath in the body and develop a sense of where the energy exists every time you breathe in and out.

Today we explore the breathing technique of box-breathing. It’s a great way to relax the body, focus the mind and deepen our awareness to the body and breath connection.

In this episode, we go briefly into a short reflection from a passage taken from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Here we explore the difference between being a “knower” and being the “Seer”.

In this episode, we explore the practice of movement with breathing to access the energy of fear and frustration. We will identify where in the body we are storing this energy and work to move them out of the body and replaced instead with feelings of positivity such as love, forgiveness and compassion. Breath in love and breath out peace.

In the episode, we go on a short albeit needed guided visualization which helps you to connect to your positive energy and to sense how it affects our selves and others.

Today’s episode we explore the dual aspects of breath called langhana and brahmana. In this practice we can develop a deeper connection to the inner awareness of your body to our breath.

Today’s guided meditation is a quick reset to help you tap into the energy within and to integrate that energy with your surroundings. Through this interaction we can learn to attune ourselves to the energy of feeling pono or balanced.

This is the final installment in the 4 part episode in which we have been exploring the concept of Avidya- or incorrect comprehension and belief that we are not of the divine source. Previously, dvesa, raga and asmita have been discussed which are also manifestations of Avidya. Today’s episode explores the manifestation of Abhinivesa or Fear and how we can recognize it in our lives and ways to cultivate a higher state of being.

Today’s episode explores the kleisha known as Asmita which stems from ego and manifests as demands and expectations of others. As we continue on our spiritual development there can arise within us a need to demand of others and of our external world to change to fit our new found awakening to our true nature. This can act as hindrance to deepening our connection to the present moment and the blessings every situation provides.

Today we explore the second kleisha known as Ego- which manifests in the form of attachments. By examining the why if our attachments we can begin the process of letting go of energy that does not flow from abundance but from the false belief that we are lacking something.

This episode is the first in a five part series exploring the 5 Kleishas or hindrances that are obstacles on our spiritual development. Today Kleisha is avidya or known as ignorance.
