Heather Namaste

Welcome back to the Heather Namaste Podcast my loves! 

In this episode, I am breaking down the third yoga sutra of the first book, Samadhi Pada given to us by Patanjali from his book, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

1:3 Tada Drastuh Svarupe Avasthanam.  We will discuss the meaning of this sutra in-depth within this episode. Be prepared to take notes!

This first book, Samadhi Pada, is the portion on Contemplation. Samadhi Pada expresses the goal of concentration, as a means of achieving vairāgya (detachment) through abhyasa (practice). Patanjali explains that this is possible only with a balance between effort and letting go.

My favorite book on the Yoga Sutras is The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Swami Satchidananda Saraswati

Share this profound episode with the yogi friends in your life to remind yourself of the true purpose of your practice, to understand your barriers to happiness, to connect with the lineage of yoga, to build a lifelong practice, & to begin to live your yoga off the mat!

My favorite book on the Yoga Sutras is The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Swami Satchidananda Saraswati

This book gives wonderful translations of the Yoga Sutras and detailed instructions on how to pronounce the words in Sanskrit. The classic Sutras (threads of thought), at least 4,000 years old, cover the yogic teachings on ethics, meditation, and physical postures, and provide directions for dealing with situations in daily life. This valuable book provides a complete manual for the study and practice of Raja Yoga, the path of concentration, and meditation.

Welcome back to the Heather Namaste Podcast my loves! I'm so excited to finally share a breakdown of the 8 Limbs of Yoga with you all! 

The 8 Limbs of Yoga as given to us by Patanjali are a Yogi's guidelines to living life in alignment with our highest selves and to inch us closer to the Divine Oneness. 

In this episode, I break down these concepts and give modern-day advice on how to integrate these guidelines into your daily life. It isn't hard, but it will take dedicated awareness.

Hello My Loves!!

Welcome back to another episode of the Heather Namaste podcast! We are chatting all about this Super New Moon in Scorpio

Super New Moon in Scorpio exact on Saturday, November 14th at 9:07 PM PDT

Into the watery depths we go with the third and final Super New Moon of the year. Falling in the sign of Scorpio on November 14th, this New Moon is going to be deeply emotional but also deeply healing. Whatever needs to come to the surface, especially on an emotional level is going to be stirred within us. 

In this episode, I'm sharing the Cosmic Insights into this Super New Moon in Scorpio. We are going to feel the rainbow of emotions that make us human. The rainbow of emotions that in many ways, is our birthright. Under the dark night of the Scorpio New Moon, we are being guided to sit with ourselves and all of our emotions. We are being guided to allow the deepest of fears, loves, hopes, and dreams, to rise up from the pit of our belly, up and out into a new space of awareness. It is our duty to sit with our thoughts and feelings as they arise, from a place of non-judgment. It is our job to recognize that we are not our feelings or our thoughts, we are the ones experiencing them. 

Every New Moon I release a new Moon Milk recipe to help you enhance the energy and atmosphere of your Moon Rituals and ceremonies. This month I'm sharing one of my favorite recipes and one of the first Moon Milks I've ever created! The last few weeks haven't been easy and to help us gain more balance and harmony, this recipe has one of my favorite plant allies, Cannabis in the form of CBD! Check out this Moonth's Moon Milk recipe: Cinnamon CBD Solutions in the musings section of the website!

One of the most popular Buzz Words this season is "Shadow Work." Many however, don't know what that means, how to do it, or why its even important to aligning to your highest potential! In the second half of this episode, we're talking all things shadow work. I explain what it means, easy steps to doing it on your own, and why this is the most important type of inner work you can do.

I know I said last month would be my very last Remote Reiki session of 2020, but we had such a big turn out and so many positive responses that I decided I needed to continue sharing Remote Reiki with you all! So, I am also hosting Remote Reiki for the Super New Moon in Scorpio.  This is a group distance session to help you begin the journey of healing from within. Reiki is a multidimensional energy healing system, which can heal the cause of a problem at whatever level it may exist—body, mind, or spirit. There is no area of life that Reiki will not change and effect. It brings healing as a result of raising the vibrations of a being or object closer to that of its highest potential.

Reiki assists in:

Bringing goals and desires into manifested form

Healing relationships, between people or objects

Wherever there is disparity and imbalance, the energy will reinstate order and stability.

Heal and balance anything in the past or the present

Can be sent to any situation that will occur in the future, to insure the best results possible (to be balanced and harmonious)

Reiki will bring healing to situations that you may not yet be aware of. When an area of life is healed, the altered energy will bring changes in all other areas of your life. RSVP HERE -> https://www.cosmicsoulchemy.com/event-details/remote-reiki-for-the-super-new-moon-in-scorpio

Hello My Loves!! Welcome back to another episode of the Heather Namaste podcast! We are chatting all about this Super Epic, Super Rare, Full, Blue Moon in Taurus.  Full Moon in Taurus: October 31st 2020 (10:50AM ET/7:50AM PT) Our second Full Moon for October, and on Halloween too, oh boy! The Taurus Full Moon wants us to slow things down, take a beat, and press pause on everything. That might be a good idea with the wonky energy that most of October brings us, so long as we don't get stuck and become stubborn about it. Being more present can help us to get grounded and see what we're missing, so this can be helpful. Take advantage of that.    We may be more sensitive to what others have to say and think about us, and we need to have better opinions of ourselves so we're not listening to others as much. We can identify more strongly with our values, and can work to live according to them. We just need to make sure we're finding value in ourselves too. And Taurus Full Moons usually do = indulgence, fyi! The Full Moon is conjunct (aligned with) transit Uranus in Taurus. This brings extra focus on the future, on change, and on our hopes and dreams, and might make this full moon less stable (since Uranus is unstable). We can make progress with future dreams and come together for a common cause, but we have to do so in a way that is practical and where we're okay with slow and steady progress (Taurus). Less impulse and impatience, more grounding and calm. In this episode, I'm sharing some pretty neat scientific information about WHY this Full Moon is so rare, plus just how incredibly poignant the timing of this Full Moon is with it landing on Halloween/Samhain/Dia De Los Muertos.  As you know we're in the midst of shadow season aka Scorpio season where the shadows of our hidden most selves are beginning to bubble, bubble, toil and trouble up to the surface of our consciousness. It can certainly be a quite heavy time, but understanding how to maneuver this shadow season while working on yourself to rid your life of the inner demons holding you back is definitely worth the work.  I am also hosting Remote Reiki for the Hunter's Full Moon in Taurus. This is a group distance session to help you begin the journey of healing from within. Reiki is a multidimensional energy healing system, which can heal the cause of a problem at whatever level it may exist—body, mind, or spirit.

Hello my loves!! Welcome back to another episode of the Heather Namaste podcast! I am switching things up again with these forecasts, and to be honest, it feels so much better to get back to how I normally do these types of episodes. Really focusing on the Moon phases, especially the New Moon and Full Moon phases help me to keep track of my goals and intentions for this lunation.  This episode I'll be discussing the energy of the New Moon in Libra along with some other challenging angles that might cause some hiccups. However, energy is what WE make it! So I'll be sharing some mindful journal prompts and questions you can meditate on during your New Moon rituals or ceremony.  I also talk about the incredibly delicious, Autumn Vibes Moon Milk recipe that just hit the musings section of the website, which is serving us the epitome of all Fall flavors! Pumpkin Spice makes everything nice! This Pumpkin Spice Dreams elixir recipe can be dressed up with whipped cream or marshmallows and is perfect for those chilly nights while you're watching the stars. Remember, the New Moon is traveling through the sky along with the Sun, which is why we can't see it at night, so its the perfect time for stargazing while the Moon is otherwise engaged. For the Pumpkin Spiced Dreams elixir recipe click HERE  I will be hosting a small Moon Circle on Friday, October 16th, 2020 at 7PM MT if you'd like to chat about your New Moon intentions while we sip moon milk together! Space is limited, RSVP for free! To join the Moon Circle, click HERE If hopping online with strangers isn't your jam, no worries, I offer Remote Reiki sessions to help clear and balance your energies to enhance your New Moon intentions and manifestations. These sessions are remote, meaning you can be in the comfort of your own home space while you enjoy this energy treatment. Reiki balances your chakras as well as your emotional, mental, and physical body.

This is NOT a sad story about how quarantine sucks! Although that may be mentioned in the beginning.

This is the tale of my recent journey through yoga. Going from teaching multiple classes per week, to making the tough choice to leave that job, friends moving away, depression and completely abandoning my own personal practice, was quite a lot to go through in the past year. But it was all for the greater good and exactly what I needed to remember why we call it a practice in the first place. I share details in this episode about my Yoga Journey, that I haven’t felt the courage to speak about until recently. If any of this story resonates, and you’re feeling called to reach out and share, or if you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me through email: cosmicsoulchemy@gmail.com You can also connect with me on my website https://www.cosmicsoulchemy.com/ or through social media @cosmicsoulchemy on FB & IG If you’d like a Distance Reiki Session, you can book yours here: https://www.cosmicsoulchemy.com/services Thank you all so much for listening and for your support.
