Conscious Matters ® Podcast

I did promise you a last episode on Ayurveda: aligning your soul with Ayurveda to complete the Ayurveda mind-body-soul series. I decided to switch it up by simply taking this Ayurvedic concept of following your Dharma aka your soul purpose in this life and yet still keep my promise. 

What a better way to start off 2022 than assessing our purpose? 

Do you think we all have a role to play in our lives? Dharma is a Sanskrit term used in Ayurveda that is generally translated as “life purpose”. Indeed, Ayurvedic philosophy considers that we all have a particular role to play on Earth: a "righteous goal" that will guide our actions and the course of our lives. This is a common thread that acts as a compass in all the situations we encounter. Our Dharma thus becomes like a guiding star to follow, even when darkness surrounds us.

Let's dive deeper into the notion of life purpose in a more practical way. 

Listen up to this gem,
Namaste listeners!

I usually like taking the last week of December as a good time to take a breath and reflect on the last 12 months, step back, slow down to mindfully close this chapter before jumping into the new year. You perhaps feel the same at this time. Inspired to look back, contemplate and evaluate what has been going on in your life, your experiences, challenges, choices, commitments and desires, and now reassessing if they're still aligned with your path, your growth or if the cycle is done and there's nothing else to do other than to be grateful, detach, release and let it go.
In this episode, I'm doing just that. Clearing the path before the upcoming chapter of 2022.

As Jung wrote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Just like mentioned in the previous episode "Shadow self - Transmuting the unconscious into the conscious" shadow work is about bringing onto the forefront of our mind what has been hidden for the longest time with the aim of being free from hinderances and become whole again to live up to your true nature and potential.

Shadow work definitely helps remove any impediments from the relationship you have with others, yes - but more importantly the relationship you have with yourself. Living authentically, is about showing up to the world as the whole you with the positive and negative traits. To get there, you cannot be afraid of self exploring certain aspects of yourself.

Taking a little break from the Ayurveda series before the last episode of it and surfing back onto the solo rant wave.  So here I am talking my thoughts out loud to y’all - once again! 

My today’s inner reflection is about the art of letting go. Something that we all need some more practice in, I believe. We get so attached to things, to people, to places, even unhealthy habits that it often becomes detrimental to our mental health or just our overall wellbeing. That probably stems from the scarcity mentality we often carry on from a very young age or merely the over-consumption era we’re in but either way it has to go! 

With Mercury retrograde and World mental health day around the corner, I felt like it was time to reflect and practice some non-attachment, letting go of the unnecessary before diving into the next cycle. 

I’ll share with you what I’ve learned or actually re-learned being faced with similar situations that I’ve been confronted to in the past but now practicing another approach. 

Listen up to this gem,
Namaste listeners!

What is a healthy body without a balanced/healthy mind? There is no denying that the two are inherently linked together. The mind has a tremendous influence on our overall health. That's what I want to keep on dissecting today: how to heal our minds on all levels from the subconscious to the superconscious part of the brain with the three regulatory principles of the body, mind, and soul in Ayurveda.  

If you missed part 1 of this episode "True mind-body wellness", check it out first so this episode makes more sense. Let me take you once again on my obsessive quest of knowing so much more about the depths of the mind as a continuation of my Ayurveda series: A journey to healthy living with Ayurveda medicine. In other words, exploring the mind from an Ayurvedic standpoint. In this episode, we go a step further.

Today, I keep on with my conversation about uncovering how to align our minds with Ayurveda medicine.  It's a deep dive into the functioning and the tools to self-assess our own well-being. Actually, taking responsibility for our well-being and finding balance in our life.  And so much more ...

For that exploration what better than to keep on discussing with  Dr. Siva Mohan, Neuroscience BA holder, and psychiatrist who adds Ayurveda, spiritual practices, and wellness lifestyle approaches into the mix to build an unshakable awareness for self-healing?

Don't forget to check out part 1 of this episode first and to stay tuned for the last and final part of this series: Aligning your soul with Ayurveda.

My obsession with the mind continues.  I just find its abilities, depth, and power so incredible and fascinating. As a continuation of my Ayurveda series: A journey to healthy living with Ayurveda medicine, we’ll explore the mind from an Ayurvedic standpoint. 

We previously talked about aligning your body with Ayurveda medicine. But what is a healthy body without a balanced healthy mind? The mind has a tremendous influence on our overall health. That's what I want to dissect today: how to heal our minds on all levels from the subconscious to the superconscious part of the brain with the three regulatory principles of the body, mind, and soul in Ayurveda?

For that discovery, who better than a Neuroscience BA holder and psychiatrist who adds Ayurveda, spiritual practices and wellness lifestyle approaches into the mix to build an unshakable awareness for self-healing. I invited Dr. Siva Mohan today to guide my little investigation about aligning our minds with Ayurveda medicine. She has been helping people in her private practice for over a decade to build self-awareness, and emotional wellness to live a healthier life.

Don't forget to check out the 1st segment of this Ayurveda series: Aligning your body with Ayurveda medicine and stay tuned for:
Part 3 of this series - Aligning your soul with Ayurveda.
But right now let's focus on the mind.

In this world there is a lot of miscommunication. Words matter, they’re important and powerful. Like we discussed in the last episode about the subconscious, words are crucial when you talk to yourself. But what about using clear and effective communication that kindly expresses your thoughts, needs, and feelings to others too? 

What's our why when communicating? How does our communication style impact our relationships ? Are we anchoring in consciousness when it comes to communicating with our loved ones and others? 

We’re not all created equal when it comes to communication. We’re all gifted differently but one thing that’s for sure is that communicating consciously is a learnable skill.

In this episode, I discuss with Taryn Newton-Gill - women empowerment coach, Attachment Style  expert, and founder of Truer Love the coaching practice that guides you to healthy love and relationships - about the influence of this fascinating Attachment Style theory on our ability to communicate consciously which forges our approach to human relationships. In this conversation, we'll uncover the tools and process that make us move from unconscious communication - which  leads to may lead to conflicts or misunderstandings - to conscious communication which shows love, care, and respect. Understanding what's hidden from the view brings more awareness which makes you understand why you interact a certain way and also helps you to improve yourself and bring harmony around you. 

If you want more healthy relationships in your life, this episode is for you!
