Feeling the urge to understand your body's deepest wisdom? Honor it.

In this first episode of our two-part series on prajnaparadha (crimes against wisdom), we're getting open and candid about those "impolite" bodily functions we often suppress. Myra explores why these natural urges are your body's intelligence at work and how ignoring them hinders your health more than you think.

Most of us aren't aware of the body's natural urges, let alone how often we suppress them. What society deems "proper" or "normal" doesn't necessarily serve our well-being.

Wish to know more about the various natural urges of the body (there are 14 in total), or ready to challenge your social conditioning?

Prepare for some honest talk! Time to let it all out...

Topics covered:

• Understanding hunger in comparison to mind cravings.
• Burping & hiccups: what they're telling you.
• Why flatulence relates to the balance of our doshas and digestive capacity.
• Honoring the natural rhythms with sleep and yawning.
• How and why suppressing natural urges affects your health.
