All living things are made up of three doshas or constitutions.

Living according to nature is a powerful tool to de-stress the body and mind and bring healing and health. Our bodies contain a gene that encodes certain proteins to build up in the cell at night and other to dissipate at night. Every cell carries these light/dark cycle genes. Nobel peace prize in medicine in 2017 was awarded to 3 american scientists who studied Circadian rhythms. We ignore this because of modern inventions like the lightbulb, internet, but when we consistently override our bodies natural rhythms we may actually start to reset the clock in our organs in the reverse. We also have hormones that are secreted that create our desire to be awake or asleep. Ayurveda teaches that there are certain times of days that are governed by the three doshas. By matching our activities to this time wheel we will have greater health, energy, mental clarity, digestion and even happiness. Listen in for more on how to structure your day to take advantage of these ancient truths from Ayurveda.

In Ayurveda we learn that there are actually three bodies: Physical, Mental (Astral/subtle) and Spiritual (Causal/Karmic). The Mind exists in the subtle or astral body. We can’t perceive it with our physical senses but we know it exists. It is the field of imagination, our deeper thoughts. Most of us are aware only of our superficial thoughts that fire without a lot of conscious effort. But our thoughts, perceptions, feelings, and beliefs create our experience in the physical world. In this way our mind creates our reality. And the Astral body or the mind is governed by three subtle energies- Prana, Tejas and Ojas. Learning how to balance these three subtle energies is vital and will give us peace of mind, mental clarity, mental stability and contentment, and spiritual evolution. In this episode we dive into the differences in these subtle energies, how they compare to the physical doshas of vata, pitta, and kapha, how to identify if they are excessive or deficient, and ways to bring them back into balance. The key to a healthy mind is generating healthy thoughts, and the key to healthy thoughts is balancing these subtle energies. Listen in to learn how you can find your bliss by balancing these energies. Join me online. www.ayurvedalifeschool.com Facebook: Heather White Johnson Instagram: @ayurvedalifeschool Namaste.

In Ayurveda the three doshas govern the seasons. Kapha-late winter to Spring, Pitta- Summer, Vata-fall to early winter.

Agni is the Ayurvedic term for fire, digestion and metabolism. And inside of healthy agni lies the secret to digestive health. On a physical level, digestion is the single most important determinant of good health. Why? Because the quality of your digestion is directly related to the ability of your body to build quality, healthy tissue. There are 4 types of Agni, and depending on your dosha, and your imbalances, you can strengthen your agni to a healthy, moderate level that leads to a easily maintained healthy body weight, effortless digestion and energized vitality.

We are more than just our physical bodies, and more than just our minds. In fact, in Ayurvedic and yoga philosophy we learn about the 5 koshas or sheath's that make up our body, mind and soul. Annamaya-Physical Pranamaya-Breathe Manomaya-Mind Vijnanamaya-Wisdom/Intuition Anandamaya-Bliss When we better understand each of these layers to who we are we see that we really are multi dimensional! No wonder why we feel confusion and ask ourselves the question, "Who am I?" The more we unite and heal these koshas through actions like diet, awareness, breathework, yoga, mantra, meditation, observing, letting go of attachment, releasing expectations, and witnessing our own experiences we can become whole. We have all the answers within ourselves and as we heal all layers of our koshas we will come into harmony and balance. Namaste.

We all come to this earth wanting four basic things: Kama: Physical and emotional Pleasure, Artha: Monetary Comforts, Dharma: Purpose Moksha: Enlightenment. In Ayurveda we call these 4 goals Purushartha. These goals are so fundamental that every person is motivated by them to some level. However, the more we attach to achieving these goals, the less likely we are to achieve them. So how to do we seek after these goals but still let go of the attachment of achieving? Listen in for some daily habits and ways of being that will help you to subdue the senses that always seek pleasure, keep your attention on providing rather than hoarding monetary rewards, find your life purpose, and achieve liberation and enlightenment. And it all starts by letting go. Namaste. Join me online. www.ayurvedalifeschool.com Facebook: Heather White Johnson Instagram: @ayurvedalifeschool

Ayurveda and Yoga are like two sides of a coin. Alone they are wonderful, together they create a synergy of health and lasting change that can't be matched. With both claiming roots in ancient India, we learn that Ayurveda can give us holistic physical, mental and emotional health providing the ability to seek enlightenment through a yogic life. In this episode we focus on the royal path of Raja Yoga and Patanjali's 195 sutras or lessons. These teachings bring us towards greater health and enlightenment by integrating yoga and ayurveda.

Depression is a very real condition, and in Ayurveda we understand that there are 3 different ways depression manifests based on dosha.

Abhyasa-constant practice, and Vairagya -non-attachment and letting go, are two necessary parts of creating an Ayurvedic life. To change a thought, behavior, action and come from your highest self requires more than wishing and hoping. It takes commitment to practice and an ability to let go of the things holding you back in your efforts. In this episode we talk about real life application of these principles, and hear about how to make lasting change through our thoughts and being present. Resources: Marianne Williamson-A Return to Love Patanjali-Yoga Sutras Lao Tzu- "The Master sticks to her tools." “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” ― William Hutchison Murray Join Us online: www.ayurvedalifeschool.com Facebook: Ayurveda Life School Instagram: @ayurvedalifeschool Namaste.

Prajnaparadha: Doing what we know we should not is a core cause of disease and suffering. Our intellect wants to do what is best for us, but is given conflicting information from our senses/ego and the soul. It can be difficult to hear the voice of the soul, but when we can overcome the ego's loud shouts and hear the whisper of soul wisdom, we will find our way to balance. Ways to heal/Journaling Questions: 1. Pay attention to when you feel well to contrast with when you start to notice small imbalances. Keep a record of these. 2. Be kind and learn to forgive yourself for not always making the best choices. Take accountability for your choices and see the impact they are having on your life. 3. Take inventory of your habits and behaviors the detract from your good and happy life. 4. Choose one habit to change. Pause before making a decision in that area and ask yourself: Will this decision take me closer to or further from my life's purpose or goals? 5. Respect your intuition and follow the voice of the soul, not matter how small the prompting.

When we take responsibility for our experiences, we are empowered and 'able to respond' to the circumstances in our lives rather than play a victim. And it all starts at the subtle level of thought. We have the power to choose our thoughts, feelings, actions, and ultimately the results we get in our life. In this episode I explain how Vedanta philosophy teaches that our world is created by our minds and thoughts. I also share practical examples of how to shift your thoughts and tools you can use to effectively choose your thoughts and emotions. Change your life one thought at a time.

The transition from winter to spring can be tricky for our bodies and emotions. Winter season is dominated by Vata dosha-cold, dry and light, and spring is dominated by Kapha dosha-cool, moist and heavy. It is important to change our diet, lifestyle, exercise, sleep and routines to match the new season to keep us healthy and release any built up mucus and toxins from winter season. Listen for recommendations to move easily into spring and avoid all of the Kapha related imbalances that can pop up during the change in season.

Did you know that each dosha has 5 subdoshas? In this episode we become specialized in healing kapha dosha, and just in time for the spring season congestion, allergies, lethargy and extra weight. By identifying each subdosha of Kapha: Kledaka Avalambaka Bodhaka Sleshaka Tarpaka And their associated symptoms, we can become our own healers. In a nutshell to heal the subdoshas do the following: Kledaka- adjust diet and herbs to dry, light and warm foods focused on the tastes of bitter, astringent, pungent. Add spices to your meals to increase the heat. Only eat when hungry leaving plenty of time between meals to digest food. Avalambaka- Let it go! Clear out unnecessary possessions and create space. Practice not attaching-time to spring clean your physical space and your emotions. Bodhaka- Same treatment as Kledaka. Sleshaka- for stiff joints add in movement and stretching. for swollen joints use rest, heat and herbs. Tarpaka- Avoid excessive sleep. Stimulate the senses through time in nature, vigorous music and movement, uplifting smells. Listen in to hear the symptoms of imbalance in each subdosha and you will be on your way to strengthening your own divine intuition to heal your imbalanced kapha. If you are naturally kapha dosha in your constitution, you will be more likely to go out of balance during spring (kapha) season. But all doshas can become out of balance with too much kapha this time of year, so all can benefit from this knowledge.

What foods we eat together can have a dramatic impact on how our body digests the foods and how we feel after eating. But let’s not overcomplicate things. Start with one habit to shift and work from there. In this episode I cover the 8 factors that Affect Food Quality, why it’s important to create a Sadhana (sacred) meal experience, and dive deep into proper Samyoga (Food Combining). The basic guidelines for Food Combining: Fruit eaten Alone Milk eaten Alone is best (warmed is even better) Milk should not be combined with yogurt, sour fruits, meat, fish or eggs. Do not combine 2 proteins at the same meal. Do not combine a high protein food with a heavy carb. (ie steak and potatoes) Eggs are best eaten with vegetables. Do not combine eggs with milk, cheese, yogurt, beans, potatoes, meat or fish. Nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers etc) do not combine with cheese. (this means pizza may cause digestive issues) Raw and Cooked foods do not combine well. Listen for more tips and ways to adjust your meals to follow these guidelines simply without creating stress or overwhelm.

What you do each day matters. The patterns, rituals, habits and routines you do the majority of the time create the body and mind you live with every day. And it can be hard to create lasting patterns that lead to health. But it is SO vital to a long, contributing and healthy life. Here are some questions I shared on the podcast that you can start to ask yourself to better identify where your patterns could use a shift. When do you sleep? How rested do you feel in the morning? Is it hard to get out of bed? Do you like to hit snooze a lot? Do you have structure to your day? That means you have scheduled time for work, rest, movement, time with family, meals etc and it is very similar day to day. Is there a schedule for your meals or do you eat whenever something looks or smells good or whenever you feel like it? When do you move your body? How much time are you spending outdoors daily? Do you create boundaries for my work? Is there a shut off time? This applies whether you work at home or leave the home, have an outside job or take care of a home and children. Do you have a time to be complete each day? Do you make self-care a part of your day? This includes exercise, meditation, quiet time to think or journal, health care rituals like tongue scraping, nasya oil, neti or nasal washing, oil pulling for the mouth, self massage (abhyanga), yoga, dry brushing etc. No matter what you are doing for self-care, is it happening daily? And is it nourishing to you? Do you have whitespace daily? In this episode I give an example of my daily dinacharya (rituals) and share the concept of Hinge Habits to identify which habit you could shift that will impact all the rest. And as we move towards spring it is time to start thinking about the season change and a Seasonal Ayurvedic Cleanse. Patterns and habits are a large part of this cleanse, so keep working on those and more information about the cleanse will be available soon.
