#12 Vata – The King of Doshas

#12 Autumn is known to be dominated by Vata Dosha, which can strongly stimulate this Dosha’s energy. For many people this can lead to a (relative) excess of Vata and we can literally lose our grounding, feel more anxious, nervous and overwhelmed.

In this podcast interview with Vata expert Kay Hebbourn we’ll go deeper into the understanding of Vata Dosha.

Tune in and discover:

  • Vata and why Kay decided to write a book about it.
  • What does Vata look like out of control?
  • What are the signs and symptoms of high Vata / Vata imbalances
  • What does Vata look like in control?
  • Why is high Vata often not seen?
  • Self-care practices to pacify Vata 
  • How to create an Ayurvedic ADHD toolkit

#11 Tantra to Cultivate Deeper Intimacy and Connections

#11 Tantra!? At first glance, that sounds promising – on the one hand there is curiosity about this practice, but on the other hand tantra also has to contend with all sorts of prejudices. Sometimes tantra is dismissed as a simple erotic massage or simply related to sex.

However, there is incredible potential in the practices of tantra to build deeper intimacy and connections, says Claudia. She’s a certified sex & love coach who is passionate about reconnecting humans with their bodies and the planet. She helps people with anxiety or fear of intimacy back to their innate joy, peace, & power  through Tantra.

Tune in and discover:

  • What does tantra mean? What is the difference between classical tantra and neo-tantra?
  • How did Claudia get in touch with it? How did it change her life?
  • Who invented tantra? Please tell us a bit more about its origins.
  • How did it find its way to the West?
  • Can tantra be dangerous?
  • Can tantra be used to attract someone or something?
  • Can you tell us more about neo-tantra and sacred sexuality?
  • What is dark feminine? 
  • Book tips for exploring tantra.

#10 Ayurveda for Managing High Sensitivity

#10 Around 15-20% of people in our environment are highly sensitive. It basically means the particularly sensitive perception of sensory impressions and sensations. This can lead to overstimulation and overwhelm in our fast, loud, and highly outward-facing world. Ayurveda can be a valuable support for highly sensitive people in order to strengthen themselves from within and to stay in balance.

 In this interview Rose Carol shares her recommendations on this topic and why Ayurveda is wonderfully suited for highly sensitive people to accept themselves better and to get out of the possible overload.

Tune in and discover:

  • Rose story of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
  • Ayurveda’s perspective on high sensitivity 
  • Ayurvedic Tips for Managing High “Vata” and “Pitta” Sensitivity
  • What is Abhyanga and how does that help?
  • What are Marma points and how does applying herbal creams on them help with sensitivity?
  • Why is it important to balance the Doshas to reduce overwhelm? 
  • How can someone find out if they’re highly sensitive?
  • High sensitivity via low sensitivity

#009 EMDR and the Healing of Trauma

#009 EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy method that is used in particular in the treatment of the psychological consequences of trauma. The method shows amazing results.

In today’s show we greet Isa Soler, a Barcelona based psychotherapist that combines Eastern and Western techniques to help people overcome trauma, healing anxiety and changing negative behaviour patterns.

  • What is EMDR and where does it originate from?
  • What happens during EMDR work?
  • What can one expect from it (and what not)?
  • After years of working with this method, tell us where EMDR is especially helpful.
  • Are there any indications when it shouldn’t be done?
  • What advice would you give to people that want to start to heal their traumas and overcome anxiety?
  • Who were your most important teachers and what did you learn from them?

#008 Balancing your Hormones with Ayurveda

#008 Balancing your Hormones with Ayurveda

#008 Essentially, Ayurveda teaches us that in order to regulate our hormones we need to bring balance into our lives – and that means mind, body, and spirit.

Our hormone system is a finely sophisticated information system in the body, which not only has a major impact on our well-being, but also on our cycle, our energy level and weight.

Imbalances often occur that we cannot explain with the usual methods and do not make the connections between different hormones and their functions clearly comprehensible.

Ayurveda can not only balance you in general, but also your hormones in particular.

In this episode you will find out:

  • How the different areas of the endocrine system are related.
  • The role of the Doshas: Vata, Pitta & Kapha
  • Stress, sleep and digestion and your hormones
  • Why Ayurveda is perfectly suited to take a holistic view of the hormone system and bring it into balance.
  • Which hormones are particularly important and are often out of balance
  • How insulin and cortisol are related
  • Ayurvedic tips to restore hormonal balance
