In this episode, Lyndsay and Julie chat with Erin Browning, Speech Pathologist and Ayurvedic Health Counselor.

“With small consistent changes, practices to explore the state of the nervous system & thoughtful reflection on the shifts occurring we can change the way we live.  We can find JOY.”

Erin’s mission is to educate about the need for everyone to find a way to navigate the rough waters life brings so they can find stability, calm, and step into joyful living.  She has lived these practices and continues to live it daily. 

For the past decade Erin’s efforts were spent combining her knowledge as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor with the extensive experience she has helping people with differently wired nervous systems. With this experience, she has provided practical methods & placed tangible tools into the hands of the people needing the most support; the ones teaching, caretaking, treating patients, & living stressful lives that lead to burnout each and every day.

Ayurveda is a way of living with the natural seasons and cycles of the Earth.  Oftentimes Ayurveda is deduced to a “what am I” Dosha quiz or another food list.  But it’s so much more than either of those!  When practiced daily it can prevent disease and help us age gracefully with ease.

In this episode Julie opens up to Lyndsay about her physical symptoms and imbalances to give us examples of how knowing your Dosha can provide a zoomed out perspective on health issues that feels sustainable and empowering.

Join us to learn how Ayurveda and the doshas can help restore harmony in body, mind, and spirit.

In this episode, Julie gives Lyndsay a live tantric numerology reading that is full of “ah-ha” moments!

Developed to illuminate your path, strengths, shadows, and nature of your human soul, Tantric Numerology provides an effective means for you to align with your higher Self and excel through the technology of Yoga.

Learn how to calculate your numbers, what they mean, and how they relate to the 10 Bodies of Consciousness in the Kundalini Yoga tradition.

In this episode, our own Julie Haesche shares the story of how she started teaching, how she uses her craft to help herself and her clients feel empowered on and off the yoga mat, and how the teachings of yoga are customizable and for everyone, not just fit and flexible. She speaks about how to move through resistance and offers practical practices for staying true to your higher self.

Let go and rest.

In this bonus episode,  Julie will guide you through a meditation experience of being asleep and aware simultaneously, also called Yoga Nidra.

The simple definition of Yoga Nidra is sleep with awareness. Yoga Nidra can resolve issues like lack of rest or quality sleep, as well as mental and emotional challenges that stem from stress, anxiety, and the overall challenges our nervous system faces in this day and age. In the deep state of Yoga Nidra, your body and mind will sleep, while at the same time you will remain aware.  You will rest in dreamless sleep, also referred to as stage 3 non-REM deep sleep. This is the unique physiological state where your body and mind can access the deep rhythm of healing and renewal. During this meditation you will discover why this practice is still so valuable after thousands of years and why it is considered to be the intersection of the highest states of meditation combined with deep sleep.

After a brief introduction, the practice starts at minute 02:13.

Let go.  Rest.  And find the true "you".

There is a science to life. It is ancient, and sacred, and often oversimplified as just another diet in the Western world. In this episode, our very own Lyndsay Paige is interviewed about how Ayurveda gave her one of the biggest transformations of her life and how she uses her intuitive gifts as an Ayurvedic Health Counselor to illuminate physical change and emotional transformation with her clients.

Katee Glass, the owner of Inner Science Co., is a pioneer of self-discovery who’s life’s purpose is to teach others how to come back to their truest selves using yoga, Ayurveda, Vedic Astrology, and Human Design.

In this episode she joins Lyndsay and Julie to share stories about her journey with these sacred tools for illumination, and how awareness of your unique strengths and shadows leads to personal empowerment.

Join Lyndsay Paige as she guides you through a meditation that can be used when you feel stuck in your creative process and need to find your center.

What do you want to create? Why do you want to create it?  And what steps will you take to bring your creation into the world?

In this episode, Julie and Lyndsay pull back the curtain and share their creative process. Whether you’re trying to create a new way of life, a business, a family, a piece of art, or something else, this episode gives you practical wisdom about how to initiate your creative flow, and use intention as a powerful medicine.

At minute 38:00 we end with a guided meditation led by Lyndsay that can be used when you feel stuck in your creative process and need to find your center.

Yoga teacher, herbalist, mama, and mentor, Amy Nicholson’s work is rooted in the belief that just like Nature, we too are intuitive beings with innate wisdom. She knows first hand that our bodies have an inherent ability to move toward wellness and works with her clients to help do just that.

Amy, also known as @_heldbytheearth_ on Instagram,  joins the ladies for a conversation about healing through the Koshas, parenting in a society that is conditioned for “the grind”, her program Cultivate the Healer Within, and so much more. The ladies get emotional during this episode because Amy is such a bright light and potent healer. You’ll be sure to leave this chat with a different perspective and practical wisdom.

"The beautiful thing about the koshas is that as you work through them and you, you practice self-study and self-awareness. You start to connect with yourself in a way that you never have before. That reflects the world outside of you. The way in which you connect to yourself is the way in which you connect to the world around you. In the way in which you connect to your physical layer is the way in which you connect to all the subtle layers."

Holistic Mentor, Energy Worker, and Course Creator Gabrielle Merandi joins us for a refreshing conversation about her work synergizing biology, psychology, clinical psychology, yoga, tantra, meditation, Ayurveda, Reiki, and shamanism. 

She shares about healing and change by bridging the gap between what is missing and what is needed for thriving health and self-actualization. The ladies bond over dual citizenship, the value of intuitive rest, and the journey of coming home to ourselves.

Energy. Everything is made of it. It’s all around us and within us. It’s what fuels us and drives our lives forward. When we become aware of the fluctuations in our energy, we can start to get more intentional with how we manage it and how we maintain it.

Join Lyndsay and Julie for a conversation about practical ways to harness more vitality in your everyday life.  Later, they share about energy leaks and how developing healthy boundaries with ourselves, and others, nourishes our relationships and energy.

Join Julie Haesche as she guides you through a meditation that will enhance blood flow to the brain that will enhance focus, memory, and mood.

Kirtan Kriya is a mediation technique used in Kundalini yoga, which is intended to stimulate the senses and parts of the brain. It involves a combination of chanting, finger movements and primal sounds. These sounds are: Saa. Taa. Naa. Maa. Translated as infinity, life, death, rebirth, this mantra is chanted repeatedly. 

Practicing this meditation is both a science and an art. It is an art in the way it molds consciousness and in the refinement of sensation and insight it produces.
