The Prana + Patchouli Podcast

In this guided breathing practice, we explore and embody the power of pauses (in Sanskrit, kumbhaka). As you linger in the quiet space between the inhale and the exhale, a deeper kind of wisdom and serenity can come through.

How often do you honour the in-between moments? It’s the pause that invites peace, a loving perspective, and a sensitivity that allows us to respond to life with wisdom, rather than react out of fear. In this episode, we talk about how yoga naturally inspires these sacred pauses, and simple ways to weave them into our everyday lives.

Sleep is a time when we replenish both our physical and subtle bodies. It powers our lives and revitalises our energy, so that we can show up as our best selves. In this episode, I'll guide you through a sleep meditation, which uses body-melting breathwork and a visualisation of the setting sun to help you let go of your day, wind down well, and fall into an easeful night's sleep.

Did you know that the female body goes through four cycle phases each month? Hormonal changes happening at each stage can lead to big shifts in your mood, creativity and energy levels. This helps explain why some days when you get on your yoga mat, movement feels effortless; but other days, your body feels heavy, tired, and you just want to take a long Savasana! In this episode, I share simple tips and practices for each phase that will help you align your energy - both on your mat and in your life.

Do you ever wonder why it's so easy to get stressed, but so hard to relax? Yoga teaches us that we're multidimensional beings, and in this episode, I talk about why we experience stress holistically, how it manifests and the practices that can help us return to peace, through the lens of our spiritual anatomy.

Rest is when our body naturally heals itself, from the inside out. But if we can’t rest, we not only feel ill, but we also feel blocked. Our aura is weakened, which diminishes our presence and our power. So, how can we honour this need for rest in a world that always wants us to do more? In this episode, I talk about seven types of rest and share the powerful practice of Yoga Nidra, or "yogic sleep". It's in this subtle state, hovering somewhere between wakefulness and dreaming, that we awaken to the magic of peace, crystal clarity and our light within. If you're feeling stressed or exhausted, the guided practice will support you greatly, too. I invite you to make this even more nourishing with props (such as a yoga bolster, pillow, or just a couple of blankets) to hold you as we rest here together.

Often, we get our sense of success wrong. We think it comes from pushing, controlling, hustling and making things happen around us. But when we experience success in our lives, what we’re really experiencing is a direct reflection of our inner world. In this episode, I talk about turning inwards and listening closely to our inner truth, taking inspired action towards our dreams and how success comes naturally when we show up for life in alignment with who we truly are.

Do you struggle with perfectionism? If so, this episode is for you. We talk about the fearful energy behind that desire to be perfect, and how it can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout and persistent "not-enoughness," if left unchecked. But while those high inner standards can be motivated by the ego, they can also be a loving sign of your desire to show up in service of your higher self and purpose in the world. So, how can you tell the difference and navigate your path as a perfectionist? Tune in to find out! I also share some simple spiritual tools to help you change the story, including a mantra to realign with love and inspiration instead.
