Oh boy, oh boy! I created a REALLY FUN 18-page guide for summer! In my passionate quest to heal people through Ayurveda, I decided to create a fun guide to staying healthy during each season. From that intention, Seasonal Bloom was born! As you may already know Ayurveda, the seasons correlate with the energies that [...]]]></description>

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  [...]]]></description>

Kapawhat?! Kapal-bah tee. It&#8217;s a breathing exercise (pranayam) that is literally translated to &#8220;glowing&#8221; or &#8220;shining&#8221; skull. Dude, it&#8217;s the BEST because it purifies the mind by forcefully ridding all toxins. The breathing itself is a series of forceful exhalations one after the other while never intentionally inhaling. The body will automatically inhale for us [...]]]></description>

There are two channels that go through our nose. One is female and it&#8217;s cooling. The other [...]]]></description>

So Hum is a mantra and meditation which focuses on just being. It helps us find us a nice space within ourselves where we can ditch our worries for a bit. When we are anxious, depressed, lonely, or stressed, it consumes us and makes us unable to focus. This mediation brings about the realization that [...]]]></description>

Dude, are you feeling funky and depressed?  You&#8217;re not alone, it gets to the best of us. There are a few things you can do. You can stay in it until it works itself out or you can move yourself through it. Sometimes some self reflection on, &#8220;What is the funk all about?&#8221; helps [...]]]></description>

I like to call this pranayama &#8220;instant calm.&#8221; If you&#8217;re stressed, nervous, or need some clarity of mind, nadi shodhanam will bring you back to center and calm the entire nervous system. Give it a try.
