  • An Ayurvedic Routine

    Most of the time when we start to experience the outward symptoms, we expend a lot of our energy and time attending to physical ailments, instead of focusing

    on the path of inner healing for our bodies. What if we invested most of our time into proper exercise for our physical bodies, mental health for our minds,
    emotional boundaries to preserve our emotions, and spiritual habits to cultivate a healthy spiritual life?

  • Understanding and Managing Your Emotions

    Emotions play a crucial role in building and maintaining relationships with others. They help us connect with others on a deeper level and foster feelings of empathy

    and compassion. They have evolutionary roots and can help us respond quickly to potentially dangerous situations. Managing our emotions effectively
    can help us cope with stress, build resilience, and lead more fulfilling lives

  • Understanding Agni and Ama in Ayurveda

    What in the world is agni and ama? As we continue our discussion on Ayurveda, we must have a basic understanding of Agni and ama. Think of it this way. The quality of our bodily tissues depends on the quality of our, which is conducted by the transformational fire element within us called Agni.

    From another perspective, if we have food that is not properly digested, it will remain in the stomach and intestines to eventually rot away (Very gross, I know).

    As the food begins the process of rotting, a toxin is formed called ama. The ama begins its process of incorporating itself into the deep tissues of our
    bodies such as fat, bones, and nerve cells.

    Ultimately when our agni is strong, the food we consume is properly digested and the opposite of this is when agni becomes weak, ama poisons our bodies and creates

    havoc within our digestion. We do not want the second half of this.

  • Emotional Violence

    Welcome to Unlock Your Leadership, your go-to source for inner leadership development. Today, in episode #25, we're delving into a sensitive but crucial topic: emotional violence.

    One of the three elements we focus on within Unlock Your Leadership is Emotional Harmony (your

    emotions are in a state of continuous pleasing & unwavering). It's a form of abuse that often goes unnoticed or dismissed, yet it can have profound
    and lasting effects on individuals. In this episode, we'll explore emotional violence, how to recognize it, and most importantly, how to overcome its damaging impact.

    Emotional violence is a complex issue that can manifest in many ways. What is self-emotional violence? It is a form of abuse where individuals inflict emotional harm on themselves. It can involve negative self-talk,

    self-criticism, self-blame, and feelings of worthlessness. This type of abuse can be just as damaging as emotional violence inflicted by others.

  • The Cause of Disease

    When we look at disease through an Ayurvedic lens, we would say disease results from imbalances in the doshas and their respective humours over a prolonged period. We

    have talked about these past podcast episodes.

    Ayurveda believes that all diseases begin from the suppression of the mind and emotions, causing unconscious exhaustion and tension.  As time passes and all that is suppressed accumulates, it will surface as symptoms in the physical body. There is a

    decent amount of facts associated with this type of cause and effect.

  • Unleashing Your Inner Leadership

    For well over 20 years now, I have been professionally studying the massive leadership landscape. Like the Grand Canyon, the topic of leadership continues to expand to deeper levels as every year passes.

    The concept of leadership still carries the attractiveness to young and aspiring men and women and regardless of its highs and lows, something about it still sounds

    sexy to us. Aside from the concepts of titles, positions, and authority, leadership is rich in developing our inner being when we fully submit to it.

    One of the hardest tests anyone looking to, desiring, or called to lead will face, is inner development. I found it exhilarating, vast, and enjoyable when I started studying leadership. The thrill of learning how to lead others, build teams, develop speeches, tell stories and guide organizations came with a fresh twist and turn.
