Igniting Change, Finding Your Fire Podcast hosted by Meena Puri

This is a solo impromptu  episode which I felt to share with you.  Our New World is already here. How are we participating in creating it?  I had written about my dream of a new world in my first book, “Healing Your Relationship With Food:  The Ayurveda Answer” The same dream is stirring in my heart now which led to me creating a book club to discuss my second book, “Wake Up and Heal: 6 Steps to Emotional Freedom” – the bigger vision is to create healing communities so those who hesitate to reach out for help can do so with confidence and ease.  What are we being called to do during this time – is a question worth asking?  No act is big or small.  What is we take an action in becoming part of the solution.  We can start anywhere.

Enjoy my conversation with Vanessa Boody, who is a licensed clinical social worker in the states of Michigan and Utah. She has been practicing as a therapist for 8 years and specializes in trauma and anxiety. She recently took on a new role and became a mother to a sweet, baby girl. You can find her sharing thoughts on various mental health and wellness topics on her Instagram page - @vcbwellness.

We are taking the shame out of trauma and healing it from a place of shifted perception and strength.  No one is an exception to having undergone some sort of trauma in their life.  Trauma is the jewel that can break us open whole, its’ what we do with it.

Enjoy this timely and candid conversation about good fat, the fad diets, nutrition and the evolution of food availability and choices.  From Double fried twinkies to avocadoes, I say we are making progress.

Our struggles with food and weight are directly related to our relationship with food.  Our relationships are a result of our mindset which in turn is a function of our conditioning and programming.  Raising our level of awareness is key in getting to know our unique challenges when it comes to eating and food.  Through food, we can journey into ourselves, get to know ourselves and know our own pitfalls and strengths.  This knowing will help us in changing our mindset and the programming we have around food.

I also share my unique challenges and insight on food and maintaining weight that I feel my best at.  This podcast was recorded on Day 3 of my water fast, doing it second time with greater insight and awareness.  Maintaining our weight, staying healthy and robust is the result of becoming more aware, having deeper insights and be willing to adjust our eating according to the new awareness that we now have.  This is the human journey, fun and not so much at times.  Be sure to get a copy of my book “Healing Your Relationship with Food:  The Ayurveda Answer”  available on amazon.

Clear boundaries help us create authentic connection with others.  Boundaries that naturally come from a place of self-love, self-value and self-connection keep us connected to others as well.  When we have healthy boundaries, we are sovereign and we recognize that others are sovereign as well.  When we feel disconnected from others, it’s time to ask whether the same boundary that protected you is also isolating you?  Is it a boundary or a wall?  The truth is in order to break away the wall or to be vulnerable, we must feel strong enough.  This is a process; it’s a freeing process as bit by bit we can remove away the layers that we have had to put on to stay safe and comfortable.  To be vulnerable is not always comfortable, but we are seeking to be awake to who we are; we are seeking deep connection with ourselves and that’s not a comfortable process.

Our soul journey is the Yoga; is what we are here to do.

Yes, we do have our calmer selves buried under the overwhelmed or not so calmer self.  Many times, we think we have to clear all the clutter to get to that clear space.  While it is important to clear the clutter, sometimes we may just need to access it anyways, on demand.  It’s like knowing that even on the cloudy days, sun is still there.  The truth is that our deeper Self is always the calmer Self.  We can cut through the chase when needed to connect to that space.  Nadine created the Calmer Self Method out of her own learning and she now shares it with her clients with much success.  There is also a guided breathing meditation in this podcast.  You may reach Nadine at [email protected]

We all dread that conversation with our Doctor or to get that result from our lab work.  The diagnosis may feel like a dead end road, as if there is only that one narrow path before us.  We think we have other alternative.  Meet Cindy Lynne, a former nurse who understands the medical world but has whole lot of alternatives available for you.  She will help you navigate the world after the diagnosis when you might be wondering, Now What?  Cindy is compassionate and helps direct you in the way that is most aligned with your heart’s desire.  You can contact Cindy at CindyLynne.com
