In this episode, we delve into the profound aspects of yoga philosophy, exploring the interplay between Prakriti, Purusha, and the three gunas: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Discover how these fundamental energies shape our perceptions and actions, influencing our journey towards enlightenment, as we dissect their roles in the pursuit of inner peace and self-awareness. Plus, gain personal insights into the transformative power of yoga practices on one's relationship with food and lifestyle choices, and join me on Instagram and Facebook for further exploration into Sattvic, Rajasic, and Tamasic foods.

I'm excited to dive into today's episode, where my guest, Natalie Viglione, and I explore the enchanting journey of remembering your magick—the inner strength and abilities often forgotten in the chaos of life.

In this episode, we explore the concept of chakra ages, which are based on the idea that our lives unfold in 7-year cycles, each influenced by a specific chakra. The episode delves into the developmental stages associated with each chakra, providing insights into how these stages impact our personal growth and well-being. I discuss the challenges and opportunities that come with each phase and I encourage you to reflect on your own journey and healing! We also have to acknowledge that modern life may have extended some of these stages, so be patient on your path to self-discovery and of spiritual fulfillment!

We're filling our Heart Chakras this week - with ourselves. Self-love may be the struggle I hear about most, and frequently we look to the Root Chakra, but today we'll explore the the heart's role in giving and receiving love internally. So many of us have a gaping hole where our true selves should be. We'll talk about why that is, how culturally that can be the expectation, and what we can do to start reframing our thoughts around our own worth. Let's start to find the seed of our highest self and nuture it to grow and blossom!

This week I interview Rubia Smolens, a Qi Gong and Tai Chi instructor with an amazing story! She explains a little about what these ancient practices are, where they took her and where they might take us, as well as how to begin incorporating these healing modalities into our lives. If you practice yoga, you might have heard of the concept of prana - life force. Qi Gong is a breath practice that has a similar foundation, adding gentle movement connected to breath. Tai Chi takes the movement further into a more physical practice, but both are healing to the body and mind. Rubia tells us how to get started and is offering you free access to her online course, Qi Gong for Grounding!

Have you ever just "had a feeling" about something or someone? Just known something in your gut - more primal than intuition? That's the work of your Solar Plexus Chakra. This third energy center is in a highly unique position to collect information from your physical body *and* your energetic body to to create the gut instinct, a reliable guide about our surroundings. IF the Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced, of course. Today we talk about why this energy center is so valuable in this way, how it might be unbalanced, and three ways to bring it back into balance to help develop rock solid instincts.

It's an exploration of love and the Sacral Chakra this week! So much of the time, we contract our sacral energy and there isn't room to experience all the love and joy that is present in the world and in our relationships. When we're self-sabotaging or even attracting relationships we don't want, it's because our capacity to feel love and joy is diminished in an underactive Sacral Chakra. Today we'll talk about why we might be doing this subconsciously, why it's important to increase our ability to feel positive emotions, and how we can take a first step towards a healthier Sacral Chakra.

Welcome to the first series of 2022! We're going to get back to some of the foundational information about each chakra either to help you understand it for the first time, or to guide you to think about your energy centers in a new way. We begin with the Root Chakra, the seat of grounding, strength, security, and self-worth. If you've ever struggled with knowing your value - and really, who hasn't? - your root chakra likely needs some attention. The good news is that you almost certainly have the strength and courage you need just waiting for you to access it in your Muladhara Chakra! We'll explore why and how to begin feeling your intrinsic value, not just on an intellectual level, but in your energetic body.

We're starting the year with a fascinating interview with Indra Rinzler, a Vedic Astrologer, healer, and teacher. He has been studying astrology for 50 years and uses that modality, along with another called the Enneagram of Personality. A lifelong spiritual seeker, Indra's focus is to help us wake up to who we really are, to help people live beyond their conditioned stories, and live more in the moment. 

We talk about these techniques and how they work with the Wheel of Totality to create a life reading. If you're interested in more information about what Indra does or connecting with him, you can go to www.indrarinzler.com or join him on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/indra.rinzler/).

As the whole world turns the page into a new year, I thought we'd look back at what we did this year in terms of improving our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness through our chakra work and other modalities. How was your year? Let's look back and find the bright spots and then shine that light on where we can go in the future. 

While our chakra system is holistic and each energy system impacts all the others, we'll break down which chakras can have the most impact on each aspect of our wellness: physical (root, solar plexus), emotional (sacral, heart), mental (throat, third eye), and spiritual (crown). We'll talk about why those are impacted, what that can look like, and then start to imagine ways that we can find the balance and peace we're looking to cultivate.

Let's talk about auras! What are they, what do they represent, why should we bother even looking at them? And how do we look at them anyway? Today we explore the seven most commonly accepted layers of the aura and how they are correlated with the chakra system. We'll talk about what they mean, what they represent beyond our physical bodies, and what an imbalance or "discoloration" might mean for you and your spiritual journey. 

Learn about the physical body, emotional body, mental body, astral body, spiritual body, cosmic body, and the integrated spiritual body and their corresponding chakras. We'll finish with a discussion of how you can learn to see your own aura and other ways to get an idea of what your energetic body looks like.

It's the fifth and final niyama - ishvara pranidhana. The translation is "surrender to god," and today we'll explore how we can navigate the seemingly negative connotations of the word "surrender" and the sometimes tricky concept of a western god. In the end, this niyama asks us to trust that we are part of a larger consciousness and that we are always where we need to be for the next step on our path. Surrendering is learning how to give away the things that are causing us unnecessary suffering, not giving up on our ideals and values. The practice of Ishvara Pranidhana is the art of going with the flow, without letting the flow overtake us.

Today I have my friend, chakra coach and author Erin Garay on the show to share her very interesting and somewhat unique approach to chakra balancing and healing. Erin takes the concept of paired chakras to the next level in a system is all about Establishing Equilibrium between two chakras that affect each other, the idea being that you can balance a chakra by focusing on its pair. Erin gives real-world examples of how an imbalance between two chakras could be affecting your health and wellness, as well as how to balance them to feel better.

Happy Episode 100! This feels like such a huge milestone to me and I simply could not have done it without every person who has ever listened to even one episode of the show. I appreciate you so much! In honor of Thanksgiving week (here in the US) and this occasion, we'll spend today working through the chakras one by one and exploring the gratitude we have within each one. I know it can be tough to focus on the good in an energy center, especially if it's an area we feel imbalanced in, but the hope is that this mini gratitude mediation will bring a little more balance and peace to our lives and encourage us to cultivate this feeling year-round. Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations we can experience, so let's open ourselves to it!

Continuing our studies of the niyamas (guidelines for internal work) we really start to dig deep into what it means to reflect on ourselves and our connection to the world and to the universe. The fourth niyama is svadhyaya - self-study - and it's here that the work can start to get really interesting and, at times, really intense. What would it mean to take a deep, honest look at who you are? At your thoughts, at your stories, at what might be holding you back from where you want to be? We'll talk about cultivating the witness and learning to more objectively look at our emotions and responses in life. Remember, you are worth the effort it takes to follow the unique path toward your highest self!

Side note: in the episode, I mention a book I'm reading and I call it "Who Am I?" There is a book by that name that is really interesting, but it's not the book I'm talking about. The book I'm referencing is called "The Yoga of Self-Inquiry: the Essence of Ramana Maharshi's Non-Dual Advaita Meditation for Enlightenment."

The third niyama on this inner journey is tapas - heat. The kind of heat that changes us and transforms us into the highest versions of ourselves, even when it is sometimes a little painful. Tapas is part of the Ashtanga Yoga system, an eight-limbed path that leads us toward spiritual growth, and this niyama is all about practices we can include in our lives that burn away the things that aren't working anymore. That might be old ideas, poor physical health, or simple mind clutter. Tapas are the tools that we use to clear away debris to create the space we need to grow!

It's time for the second niyama - santosha. Santosha is the practice of living contentedly, with a sense of inner peace. It doesn't mean that we can't ever change or grow or improve, only that we have the opportunity to act from a strong, measured center. Santosha allows us to feel secure moving through an insecure world. We'll talk about some of the biggest obstacles to contentment and some practices we can develop that can lead us closer to peace.

Today we begin our series on the niyamas. If the yamas are ethical guidelines on how to interact with the world, the niyamas are ethical guidelines with a more internal focus. The first is Saucha, which translates to purity, or cleanliness. Of course, we recognize the importance of keeping our physical bodies clean, and we'll also look at how this practice relates to inside our bodies, as well as emotional and mental "cleaning house." Practicing purity of body and mind creates space for us to grow and explore a spiritual path and expand our consciousness without being weighed down by poor health or emotional ties that aren't serving us any longer. 

And for the record - purity isn't some sort of moral code here! We're just talking about how a healthy, balanced mind and body prepares us for an aware, awake soul.

Today we explore the fifth and final yama - aparigraha. The translation is non-possessiveness, or non-clinging, which in the chakra system we might experience as the act of letting go. In the Buddhist traditions, it's often said that clinging or grasping is the cause of unnecessary suffering and it is only when we learn to let go that we can find peace. Aparigraha, in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, invites us to incorporate that practice into our lives every day to help us find our true nature, or highest self. We'll take a look at what this practice means and might look like in modern life, why it's so difficult to do, and how we might be clinging to things without even realizing it.

This week we explore the fourth yama - brahmacharya. I find it a little trickier to understand than the others, so we'll really break it down into what it means for people living today, in the modern world. The literal translation of this yama is "walk with god," which can be confusing and even off-putting. No worries - we'll figure it out together! Join me as we explore this ethical practice, guiding us to find our true nature and lighting our spiritual path.

It's a little diversion from the chakras, but one I think you'll find very interesting! Today I interview Psychic Medium Drew Cali and learn three ways to connect with our spirit guides. This is outside my realm of expertise, so we start with the basics - what are spirit guides? What is a psychic? What's the difference between a psychic and a medium? Then we explore ways to connect to these beings and why it might be helpful for us on our varying paths.  

If you've ever wondered who your spirit guides are, or how to hear their messages, or if you have spirit guides at all, Drew takes this potentially complicated topic and makes it simple and accessible to all of us!

If you're not sure what steps to take on your path of spiritual or personal growth, allow me to introduce you to the third yama from the Ashtanga yogic system - asteya. Asteya translates to non-stealing, but it's so much more than simply not taking things that don't belong to you. We'll talk about how we unknowingly steal our own happiness and opportunities and how a deep practice of asteya can help us become the people we want to be. Non-stealing shows itself particularly in the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras, but we'll also learn how the heart chakra and throat chakra can start to close.

This week we look at the second yama in the Ashtanga Yoga system: satya or truthfulness. We can think of this system and its components as a guidebook or roadmap to our highest selves. We'll explore how truthful behavior is far more than not telling a simple lie, how and why truth - both personal and universal truth - affects your chakras, and of course, some ideas on how to practice satya in our daily lives.

Today's conversation is all about the Science of Chakras! My guest, TeriLeigh, teaches us all about how the chakras are directly connected to and part of your nervous system and physical structures. We talk about atoms and molecules and nerve ganglia, but we also talk about auras and energy. TeriLeigh combines the two, shows us that they’re an integrated system, and shares some really practical tips on how to use breath, intention, and movement to balance your chakras.

We're always talking about our "highest self" - what is that even? And how do we even begin to get there? Today we'll discuss what your highest self might look like and also dive deep into one step you can take to get there. Ancient yogis left us a roadmap, if you will, of some things we can do (or not do!) to lead us closer to our highest selves. The first one, and the topic of today's show is the first of the yamas: ahimsa, non-violence. It's a broader, more nuanced topic that we might expect at first, so we'll spend some time on it. We're learning how harm to self and others might be creating chakra imbalances in ways we haven't even thought of!

I hear it all the time - people who are so overwhelmed by current events, division, and discord that they're not sure they'll ever find balance again. It can be in the world or in their personal lives, but the pain can be consuming. Today we're talking about how the news and social media are affecting your chakras and how imbalances can be created by a constant stream of information. There are very good reasons you feel out of sorts energetically! We'll also talk about where each of us can start finding balance again, feel better, and create space for other people to feel good, too.

Are you accidentally holding on to the the things holding you back? Is an imbalance in your chakras serving some purpose? These are tough questions, and the subject of our podcast today. We'll talk about what it means to create an identity around an imbalance or trauma and why we might do it (spoiler: we all do it, it's okay!). We'll also talk a little about how to start letting our old identities go and start creating new ones that are more in line with our highest selves.

In our chakra work, we often use affirmations - phrases that connect us to the essence of each energy center. Sometimes these are called mantras, but this week we talk about how mantra and affirmations are different from one another. They work differently and they do different things. We'll discuss what each is, how to know when to use which one for the result we're looking for, and end with both affirmations and mantras that you can practice with!

Anxiety is incredibly widespread right now - maybe it always is - and we're all looking for ways to manage and reduce it. This week we explore the chakras that can hold anxiety (spoiler alert: it isn't *just* the Root Chakra!), how it might show itself in your life, and how you can tailor your chakra work to address your specific needs.

Today we combine the philosophy of the chakra system with the Zodiac to learn more about how their associated elements impact our lives, behaviors, and energetic balance. Knowing where we might be likely to have a chakra block can help us be aware of the signs. I'll also offer several ideas for each elemental Zodiac sign about how to re-balance the affected chakra and lead you toward a happier, more peaceful life. Astrology and the chakras are bound through the four earthly elements of earth, water, fire, and air. Learn how your sign and associated element can be used to enhance energy flow in your chakras!

While we usually talk about the seven main chakras, today we're going beyond the basics - quite literally beyond - to the first of the chakras that lies completely outside the body!

Everyone knows someone who is a little more...challenging to engage with than is truly comfortable. Sometimes, we call those people and the relationships we have with them toxic. That's what we're talking about today - how those relationships are affecting all your chakras, but specifically your throat and sacral chakras. More importantly, we'll discuss some strategies for changing these relationships and the energetic impact they have on us.

Positive thinking! Sunshine and rainbows! What could be wrong with that? Well, that's what we're talking about this week. The dark side of always being positive and how that's affecting your chakra energy and your health. We'll explore the topic of "toxic positivity," where it lies in your energetic chain, and how it might be hurting you to always look on the bright side. Let's learn how to be truthful in our positive thinking while still acknowledging that sometimes life hurts.

How has your life changed since you began your chakra work? Your spiritual journey? If you're like most people, the answer is that life has changed quite a bit - and not all of it feels like it's for the better. And one place we really notice the change is in our relationships. In this week's episode, we're talking about how spiritual and energy work can affect your relationship and why. And, of course, how you can manage the changes that are happening both inside and out.

Today we explore how what's happening in your Root and Sacral Chakras can affect your relationship - from feelings of insecurity to feeling no feelings at all. It's easy to think that if we can just change the environment, the person, or the relationship that all our problems will be solved, but in this episode, we learn how our own energy, our own chakra blocks and imbalances can be healed to help heal a struggling relationship. 

If you find yourself feeling insecure in your relationship, I'll provide some clarity and some ways to help balance your root chakra. If you feel emotionally distant or overwhelmed, your sacral chakra might need some attention. And I'll show you some ways to feel more love, loved, and loving just through your own energy work!

It's the question I get most - how do I know if I have a block in my chakras? And then the follow up: how do I get rid of it? When energy isn't flowing freely through our energetic channels, we don't feel quite right. Like something is off. And generally, that means we need to release some of the low vibrations in our energy centers.

Today we talk about what those low vibrations might look like in your life, how you might feel if you're experiencing them in one or more chakras, and then we finish with a short meditation to help clear them out and raise your energetic vibration so that you can feel your best emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually!

In the conclusion of our foods for the chakras series, we talk about the third eye and crown chakras. While there are some foods here that are good for nourishment, these uppermost chakras are more energetically minded so we focus on how foods affect our bodies and even the possibility that eating NO food for a while might be helpful! 

I also talk about chronic inflammation: what it is, how it develops, why it's hard on our bodies, and how to help reduce it.

As always, practicing gratitude and being highly in tune with the connection between your physical and energetic body can improve your wellness not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Taking a quick break from our series to share this interview with you! I was recently a guest on the Hello, Next Level podcast where hosts Taylor and Kirsten invited me to share some chakra knowledge with their listeners. It was focused on personal growth and how to use the chakras to move your life toward where you want to be. We talk basics, but also get deep into development and what it's like to have blocks and imbalances in the energy centers.

Join me as I talk about foods for the solar plexus chakra and how these foods can also help other chakras. After discussing foods for the root and sacral chakras from the last episode, we continue this series and move to the next one – the solar plexus chakra. In this episode, I will share which specific foods can benefit the solar plexus chakra and the physiology governed by this chakra. 

The Solar Plexus Chakra

Located a few inches above your navel, the solar plexus chakra is associated with the color yellow and the fire element. Physically, it is the chakra of digestion and gut health, and energetically, it regulates personal power. Emotions affect the digestive system, just like food, so we always want to me mindful of both physical and energetic resolutions to stomach discomfort. The solar plexus chakra may need to be energized or calm down depending on what you are experiencing, so I will share with you which foods can give you the results you need here, as well as the nutritional value they hold.

Outline of the Episode:

[00:26] Correlating food and the chakras.

[02:56] The solar plexus chakra, gut health, and its relation to emotions.

[05:16] Spicy foods for a burst of energy, and grains and legumes to relax.

[06:47] Importance of blood sugar regulation.

[07:54] Yellow fruits and vegetables for the solar plexus chakra.

[09:56] Unveiling the truth about sugar.

Join me as I talk about foods for the chakras, specifically the root and sacral chakras. After learning the holistic approach and the importance of nutrition on Ayurveda from the last episode, we continue the conversation by talking about foods that will help you keep your chakras balanced. In this episode, I share which particular foods are best for the first two chakras and what nutrients they contain that directly benefit the areas that these chakras govern physically and energetically. 

Foods for the Root Chakra

The first chakra is the root chakra, located at the base of the spine. It is associated with the color red, the earth element, and is energetically responsible for grounding, security, and survival. It is very much physically concerned with the structure and form of the legs and hips to keep us grounded and rooted to the earth. We'll talk about which foods serve those needs today!

Foods for the Sacral Chakra

The sacral chakra is located a few inches below the navel. It is associated with the orange color, the water element, and is energetically responsible for creativity and emotions. Physically, it is concerned with the reproductive organs, which play a significant role in creation. Sometimes we need more or less energy here, or different kinds of energy, so we'll talk about how to use your nutrition to find the energetic shift you want.

Outline of the Episode:

[01:32] Introduction to the role of food in balancing the chakras.

[03:09] The root chakra and foods recommended for it.

[04:45] The meat "controversy"

[06:57] Protein-rich foods for the root chakra.

[08:27] Foods recommended for the sacral chakra.

[11:17] Spices for the root and sacral chakras

Victor Briere, A.D., and I discuss what Ayurveda is about, its application to health and wellness, and its connection to chakras. To perform spiritual practices in yoga efficiently, one has to have a healthy body. As a holistic science, Ayurveda treats the body and the mind as a whole. In this episode, Victor sheds some light on how Ayurveda can help improve overall health. 

Ayurveda Explained

While yoga is about finding life’s spiritual aspects, Ayurveda is a holistic science that promotes good health and balance. Its approach is more on treating every part of the body by acknowledging that it is connected as a whole at the core. It attempts to treat a disease at the roots itself. Ayurveda also focuses more on staying healthy to avoid getting illnesses and maintaining balance according to one’s body, mind, and spirit. Victor recommends that Ayurveda should be practiced alongside yoga to achieve overall wellness. Yoga practices require focus, and if you’re not healthy, it would be a challenge to meditate, chant, and breathe. Ayurveda ensures a healthy body, increasing the benefits of yoga towards finding balance within.

Stress is the most common cause of imbalance, according to Victor. The body has the ability to handle stress, but too much stress is where the problem lies. External conditions also contribute to imbalance. When these build up little by little, the body gets weaker, and if it goes too far, that is when illness comes in. Ayurveda exists to provide solutions for this problem, restore balance in the body and keep the body healthy. 

The Concept of Doshas

Doshas are the primary biological forces in all of nature. Primary patterns in nature reflect in the human body, and these control the functions of the body. There are three Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Vata is concerned with all movement in the body from the nervous system down to the digestive system. Pitta controls breaking down substances like the metabolic process, and Kapha is about growth in the body. The harmony between these Doshas creates balance in the body, and each person differs in their concentration of Doshas. It is an Ayurvedic professional’s job to assess a person’s Doshas and provide ways to keep them balanced. 

About Victor Briere, A.D.:

Victor Briere, A.D. is the co-founder of Pacific Coast Ayurveda and the International Institute of Ayurveda, where he serves as a NAMA-recognized Ayurvedic Doctor and Kundalini Yoga Teacher. Victor is a gifted pulse reader specializing in ayurvedic diagnostic techniques and health counseling. His in-depth, individualized approach to health offers clients and students a detailed and encompassing perspective on the underlying causes of imbalance. Victor’s approach to wellness emphasizes the role and importance of lifestyle and dietary balance. He offers the support often needed to successfully address the root cause of illness and restore the body to balance.

Outline of the Episode:

[01:49] Explaining Ayurveda and Ayurvedic Medicine.

[07:30] The concept of Doshas – the primary biological forces in all of nature.

[10:17] How does one get out of balance?

[13:21] The effects of Ayurveda on emotional and mental health.

[18:24] Exploring the connection between Ayurveda and chakras.

[23:14] Relativity of specific diseases to specific chakras and how to treat it with Ayurveda.

[29:02] Diet is an essential part of Ayurvedic treatment; it varies for each person.

As we start to really get into the upper chakras, the trauma becomes very intellectual and more about what we see and how we process it. Third Eye Chakra Trauma can happen any time, but particularly in adolescence. If you ever have trouble trusting your own eyes or doubt yourself, this may be a place of injury for you. We'll finish, of course, with some ideas for healing and how to gain a better understanding of ourselves.

Trouble expressing yourself? Afraid to speak up? Or maybe you find yourself talking, wishing you could stop but you feel compelled to just keep going. These are all signs that you might have trauma to the Throat Chakra. Today we talk about the lies that can cause injury in the fifth energy center, how you might see it affecting your life now, and how to begin the healing process. This is a major area of trouble, especially for women, so listen with an open heart and mind, letting energy flow through your Throat Chakra as best you can.

It's another quick break in the series to answer some of the most pressing questions from you! Where do I start - does it have to be at the root?
