HeyMonicaB.com turns two today! How fun. Any guesses on what the first post was about (no cheating by going to the archives)?
Come on guess!!
OK I’ll tell you.
It was GHEE!

A few years back I dabbled in improv. I took classes, was in a troupe and even taught improv for a corporate sales meeting in Vegas (gawd that was fun). One of the foundations of improv is, “Yes, and…” So, when one of your fellow improvisers gives you an idea or a thought, you confirm [...]

Woohoo! An Ayurvedic posting on coffee! Yesssss. Who knew such a happy thing existed?! When advising my clients, I don’t usually make them rid their coffee. Why? Because depending on the person’s dosha, coffee might not be that terrible of a thing for them.
Authentic Ayurveda says that we should not have coffee, not because of [...]

Every day new cells are created. Every day we have the option to renew our bodies and minds. Bad habits & wrong choices become our cells & our physical bodies. One new choice, one deep breath, one kind gesture, one big hug will begin to change our cells, slowly creating a whole new you. You [...]

Water Rules

“You should drink 8 glasses of water a day”
“Drink a glass of water before your meal for weight loss because you won’t eat as much”
“Divide your body weight by half, change that to ounces, and that’s how much water you should drink a day”
Any of these sound familiar? These are just three examples [...]

Show of hands, who is stressed? Yep, many of us are. Women especially, tend to tackle a lot at once and then wonder how they are going to get it all done. Instead of invigoration, this can result in negative emotions like stress, anxiety, panic, and a sense of ungroundedness. Sort of [...]

Give Yourself Permission to Shine

Sometimes I find myself not really doing all I want to be doing or know that I am capable of doing. Then come in the echoing comments from school teachers, “She doesn’t work to her full potential…” Beh. Do you find the same thing? Ok maybe not the school teacher thing, but maybe you are [...]

If you are a vata or pitta type, you might have a tendency to get stressed (who doesn’t, right?) and perhaps worries of the future can creep in to cause some anxiety. When a client of mine was feeling anxious, ungrounded, wound up, and stressed, I told her to “wrap herself in a fuzzy blanket” [...]

I try and spread the good word on Ayurveda authentically, yet as American-friendly as possible. It’s funny though because people will come to me and say, “I’m congested! What should I do?” And I might say, “Are you eating yogurt? It’s a no-good channel clogger which can increase sinus congestion and mucus goo in your [...]
