#23. Do You Have the X-Factor?

Did you know that you have an extra ordinary superpower that you may or may not be aware of? Yes, we all do. And, all we need to do to access it is to get more mindful. According to Ayurveda, it is the power of self healing. And for self healing to occur we need to generate awareness. We should understand that in order to heal ourselves we need right information, we need to get the right tools for healing and we need to recognize that our health is dependent on the health of our society.

#21. Your Home’s Energy

Have you ever been in a room or space that felt so comfortable that you wish you could stay there all day? Those are areas that are providing you with ample life force energy. This life force is essential energetic nourishment that moves like breath into, out of and within our physical spaces. When it’s able to transmit fluidly throughout our homes or workplaces, it can align and balance us physically, mentally and spiritually. Today, Kim is excited to share with you the ancient practice of Vastu. Often termed as the “yoga of space,” Vastu is how we harmonize the places where we live and work.

#19. Spice Up Your Life

#19. Spice Up Your Life

Do you spice? Most of us just use salt or pepper to spice our food. And while the use of salt can enhance the flavor of foods and pepper has a lot of healing properties, there are so many more spices we can incorporate into our diet. Just think of the old saying, “variety is the spice of life.” In general, adding spice to your food can enhance its flavor. But a pinch of seasoning can balance your digestion, your doshas and improve your mental and physical state. Kim is going to talk about the properties and uses for some specific spices today as described in the ancient texts of Ayurveda.

#18. The Six Tastes of Food

You would think that the taste of food is purely that, a particular taste that you either like or dislike. But, according to Ayurveda, taste is more than what the tongue perceives. Ayurveda believes that a well-balanced meal should contain six tastes for a healthy body and mind…you’ll learn why in today’s episode.

#15. Habits to Hone Your Radiance

Ojas is the body’s vital energy. Ayurveda says that we are born with a certain amount of ojas but that we must maintain it to stay healthy. Allowing it to dissolve would mean permitting our life to dissolve. Today, Kim is going to provide you with some habits for honing your radiance or ojas. Once you can establish these important habits then you’ll yearn to keep them because you will discover that you are stronger, more radiant and ultimately feel more fulfilled and contented.

#14. You Are What You Digest

#14. You Are What You Digest

Food is our medicine. And, when it is taken at the right time, in the right quantity and is full of prana or life force, food will provide us with the fuel that can be appropriately digested. Undigested food or Ama can build up in the system causing aggravation that ultimately leads you to a state of disease. In today’s episode, Kim gives tips for staying nourished that can bring you to a healthier state of being.

#12. Best Routines for a Balanced Life

This podcast introduces the concept of dinacharya or daily routine. According to Ayurveda, we should be following a set of specific daily practices for cleansing, exercising, eating, working and sleeping in order to achieve a life that is optimal and full of vitality. **************** Maintaining our health requires constant rebalancing.

#11. Daily Cycles, Circadian Rhythms & Life’s Phases

#11. Daily Cycles, Circadian Rhythms & Life’s Phases

This episode will introduce the concept of time in Ayurveda and what it means for our routines. The daily and nightly cycles, the seasons and our phases of life are all affected by time or Kala. Our doshas: Vata, Pitta & Kapha are influenced by the hour of day/night, the rhythms in nature (which are the seasons) & the phases of our lives. Therefore, time is a key component for balance in Ayurveda and can be called the cyclic remodeler of our lives. It is important for us to recognize how we are affected by these cycles of time so that we can fine tune ourselves to balance with the flow of nature.
