In my previous post, I mentioned how as I became quieter, I was able to listen more...to the subtle messages of my body.

Our bodies are always speaking to us. First the messages are subtle. But, the outside noise is too loud and we can't hear anything. Then the messages become louder but we still can't hear. The outside world and all its noise in the form of shoulds and coulds, constant comparisons, fear of judgments or ostracism, and chasing accomplishments or aesthetics to fill a deeper void prevents us from tuning into our inner worlds. No wonder, no outside fix can ever fill the void within. The next best thing is new only for a while until its charm fades off and we are on to chasing something else to continue to feel desirable or successful or accomplished..aka chasing temporary satisfaction to get a false sense of safely and security and worthiness.

Hate to break it to you..if you want forever peace, it is within you, within reach, at all times. You just need to become still. Become still, stop all movement.
I like to use the analogy of horses, reins and a charioteer.
Our mind is the 🐎. Without reins, they have no sense of direction and everything is chaotic. You are the charioteer. When the reins are held, horses behave. Similarly, our mind needs something to hold on to.

Breath.

Focus on the breath while sitting still and notice how the mind behaves itself, becomes quiet and suddenly, you have no chaos. Everything is peaceful. You feel your body from the inside and feel it's aliveness from within. You tune into your body's energetic systems. What a miracle to experience that 💫
Sustain this practice frequently throughout the day and notice the ripple effect in all areas of your life and your relationships.
Our body needs our attention. It is not a machine that is being abused day in and day out to fulfil all our egoistic desires and goals. It will do everything we want but only if nurtured and given the right dose of "quality" sleep, "quality" nutrition, "quality" hydration, sunlight, "quality" movement, and mindful presence.
✨️Become still and notice the wonders of your amazing body. Love it, speak kindly to it, and take care of it ✨️

It is all about
Stagnation is the root cause of all disease.

I was a detox fanatic. I have tried all kinds of detoxes and diets. But, as I learned to become quieter, I have been able to listen to my body and all its subtle messages.
This is what I know now. Everything is energy aka
I am part of nature and everything that sustains life on Earth is what sustains me and my body.
Our bodies have five kinds of energies or as per the yoga scriptures
These energies are responsible for moving our blood, lymph, food, nutrients, oxygen, water, urine and faeces
When these energies don't move due to poor breathing, poor diet, lack of movement, lack of hydration, we end up with chronic health issues.
When was the last time you took intentional deep breaths?
To be healthy and full of vitality, we need to ensure we spend sometime each day taking mindful deep breaths, eat plenty of fiber to mop up toxins and bulk up the stool to ensure the bad stuff leaves the body and to hydrate well so our cells are saturated and things keep moving inside our bodies.
This is not a fad. Our health literally depends on it.

It is our responsibility to take care of our hardworking, amazing, and miraculous bodies ❤️

I used to run. Not a lot. It was just a phase when I had lost my weight and I was surrounded by high achieving athletes who have accomplished competitions.
Very quickly, I learned it was not for me. My ego was shattered.
Thankfully, I had a meditation practice that helped me recover quickly and choose yoga instead.

As an ardent practitioner and a teacher and practitioner, I learned the connection of the nervous system and the breath with the body.

Our muscles can either contract or lengthen. When we run, lift weights, bike, or play sports, our muscles contract. When muscles contract, our heart rate goes up to keep up with the physical demand. When we stretch the muscles, our nervous system NEEDS to relax (breath slowing down, temples relaxing, throat relaxing, jaw relaxing). When we become mindful of this, our muscles begin to relax which can be anywhere between 30 secs to one minute and sometimes longer for some individuals who are not in tune with their inner mechanisms.
Now, here is the dilemma. What I have understood is that our bodies are designed to run only for two reasons- catch food or run from predator.
All the pounding on the pavement or treadmills are not for everyday. Of course, one can do marathons or ironmans but there is a specific training protocol which lasts for a certain amount of time. I see people (all age groups) running for stretches of time thinking it is a cardiovascular workout. Unfortunately, it puts a lot of stress on our joints, heart and small ligaments and raises our heart rate into an unhealthy range where our cortisol rises and stays elevated for that amount of time, sometimes even hours after. For younger people, they are resilient and bounce back fast. Older people, a whole different ballgame. When we lose our hormones, we already struggle with stress and when we elevate our heart rate into the bad range, it increases our cortisol and increases the visceral fat. We do better with sprints for short time with full recovery or low heart rate long walks.
We need cortisol. This hormone helps us to navigate through the daily life processes. Too much cortisol, bad news for mind and body 😕

has saved me, literally.
In 2010, I was spiraling out of control with severe and (hyperventilating). I needed help, bad. A voice in my head said, meditate. I listened.
That was the beginning of my journey but the seeds were planted when I picked up books on the lives of , and Lord in my tender years.
, , , all came much later, as I learned to to the flow of life and stay open.
Meditation is not some hokey pokey thing. In my years of sitting practice, this is what I have learned
🧘‍♀️ the practice helps us to observe our thoughts instead of "becoming" our thoughts
🧘‍♀️the practice helps us understand the root of our suffering aka, our thoughts on repeat that become that we allow to run our lives
🧘‍♀️the practice helps us to recognize the space between a thought and an
🧘‍♀️the practice helps us to become self-aware by recognizing our
🧘‍♀️the practice even helps us to see the bigger picture of life, our , our oneness with our planet and all its inhabitants
🧘‍♀️the practice teaches us compassion towards self and others releasing judgements because when we understand ourselves, we understand others
🧘‍♀️the practice teaches us to love ourselves, unconditionally, and that love emanates, radiates and pours out from our deepest core out into the world to help others stuck in the darkness
🧘‍♀️the practice teaches us to forgive our ancestors for they did their best from their place of knowing and ignorance

For all these reasons and more, it is a non-negotiable daily practice ✨️
I also like to read in the morning with my cup of ☕️ I do not pick up my phone for at least two hours after I wake up. I am very particular about how I start my day to be present and grounded before I open myself up to the world. And, I like to sit on the floor during these rituals to keep my hips supple. And, it just feels organic and natural. Even my husband sits on the floor with me when we enjoy our coffee ritual.
Side note, reading helps to strengthen neural pathways to keep sharp cognition, focus and memory 📚

Sometimes a probiotic drink becomes a Friday night drink. It doesn't have to be an alcoholic beverage just because it is Friday.
This is another big change that has happened as I am getting older. People who know me know that I am a wine . I have actually taken the wine Sommelier course only because I wanted to explore my wine passion.
But, sometimes, I swap my weekend wine with a
and probiotic drink and I am ok with that.
Flow of life.

I have been around for five decades and been keeping a journal for over a decade. I have this habit of reflecting on my past to see the times my life took a major turn and how that turn steered me towards my life's purpose.
I have always wanted to be an airforce pilot. In 10th grade, I underwent an emergency surgery and didn't qualify to get math as one of required subjects. Then I decided to study business. Life took a major turn when I turned 18. Instead if going to college, I ended up with a full-time job to keep a roof over my head. When I was really enjoying working for my amazing boss at H&M, I met my husband, got married and moved to the states. When I was just getting my footing in American Girl doll company, my husband's job had us move further away from my workplace and I quit. After my kids were born, I went back to school and finished my unfinished passion of getting a degree. And then what? After my kids were born, I had a major challenge to deal with, my obesity. I started working out and lost 100lbs. Then what? Became competitive and started training for a marathon. Hives and knee bruises threw a major wrench and I chose something very different- and . I continued to pursue this path and door after door opened, organically, in the form of and many spiritual teachings. I stayed open.
This image is from a yoga retreat I offered before Covid19. I knew this is something I wanted to continue offering..maybe internationally. When I went to Costa Rica in 2018, I absolutely fell in love. That place is magical. Thought I will maybe offer a retreat in Costa Rica in 2026. Put it out into the Universe. Needed ten people. And, Universe blessed this intention with eleven. All these amazing women (and a gentleman) are coming together for this sacred communion.
There are no coincidences. This has been my experience in all my years on this planet. Everything happens for a reason. I just learned to get out of the way, early on.
Full circle moment- the first comic books I picked up and held on to for a long time- life of and

I always end my evening with a full body smudge before I go to bed. This ancient ritual helps clear our all kinds of energies I pick up during the day with various interactions.
I know that I am very sensitive to energies. I have been very particular about creating strong boundaries with people who drain me. But, sometimes, you can't avoid certain people or conversations and smudging helps remove the energetic heaviness. I also sleep better when I smudge.

I love every carb on the face of this planet. Rice, beans, potatoes, fruits, vegetables pasta, pizza, burritos, chips,...and of course, desserts 🍨

We need carbohydrates. It is the primary source of fuel for our cells. Fats are essential for hormones and protein is needed for building tissue.

Every time we eat carbs, pancreas releases insulin to move the move the sugar into the cells. When we eat too many carbs, the sugar stays elevated in the bloodstream. We don't see the effects until much later when we have chronically ignored all the signs of excess blood sugar- brain fog, tired all the time reaching for caffeine or sugar to keep going.

When we eat too many carbs and don't move enough, the blood sugar lingers around. In addition, body keeps pumping more insulin to combat the high blood sugar. Eventually, the body can't keep up and we become insulin resistant.

Types of carbs also matter. Eating whole grains, beans, sweet potatoes, fiber rich fruits and vegetables are better because they take longer to digest, hence slow release of insulin. In addition, if you enjoy an occasional pizza or pasta or fries or soda (do not recommend to anyone), eat them during the day and after some vegetables, around when you are more active. Also, moving the body 30 minutes after a meal helps to move the insulin into the muscles.
Now, when become older, we see the dreaded belly fat. There are some individuals who look skinny on the outside, but there is a term in the holistic world called
. When you check their blood markers, you will notice high cholesterol and triglycerides. Classic signs of age-related metabolic disease. So, don't be fooled by someone who looks skinny.
Secondly, as our hormones drop, insulin resistance spikes causing dangerous belly fat around our major organs. Insulin resistance is the root cause of all age-related metabolic health conditions.
The only way to combat this, move more and build 💪
Modern life prevents us from being active. We sit all day overconsuming carbs. Muscle is the reservoir for excess insulin. Progressive overload helps us to build strong muscle.
More muscle = less insulin in bloodstreamm
