… for more lightness and loose fitting pants This is a practical episode about food to help you stay on the bandwagon of healthy eating during the winter holidays. For most of us, winter holidays mean lots of cookies, home-baked goods, many parties and lots of alcohol. And with it comes what? You guessed it, tight fitting pants and a sluggish, heavy digestion.

Holidays and celebrations feed our soul. They are a way for us to honor the abundance of earth and connect with friends and family. On the downside, the holidays present us with tons of temptations. Think cookies, home baked sweets, elaborate feasts. Can you already feel your pants getting tighter just thinking about it?

Food is about more than just taste. Food is nourishment for the five layers of our being. It impacts not only your physical body, but our minds, emotions and spirit as well. Many factors play a role: the prana or lifeforce in the food, the quality of the soil, the attitude of the cook and the mindset with which we eat our food.

But what does that mean exactly? It’s a bit of an aloof concept if you ask me. It sounds good, but without breaking it down to what it exactly is, it
Health is hard to define. It is many layered. Just as we humans are complex so is the definition of health. Every medical profession has their own definition. In part 1 of “what is health” we discussed the allopathic definition of health and the 6 stages of disease manifestation. In this episode, we look at the Ayurvedic definition of health. Ayurveda looks to the Sanskrit word svastha to define health. Svastha means “to be established in the Self”. It leaves us with a philosophical debate o
What is health. No really, what is it? We throw around the term all the time. You probably wish for abundant health at major junctions in your live. At birthdays, new year, whenever someone asks you. But do you ever stop to think what it really means to be well and what it all entails? Pause right now and think: What does health mean to YOU? What words would YOU choose to describe it. The definition of health from the Western medicine perspective is “the absence of symptoms” or “the absence o
I ain’t joking. There is indeed such a thing as getting more flexible without effort. Drummrolll….. It’s called Thai Massage. It is also referred to as lazy man’s yoga. You just lie there and let me do the work of stretching, moving and massaging you. When you get off the mat your hamstrings are longer, your back straighter, your hips looser and your shoulders more relaxed. Many people go through the trouble of practicing yoga. I love it!!!
