Neti Note

9/2/2022

A lot of folks start picking up their neti pot as Autumn approaches. Here is your friendly reminder to replenish the moisture of the cilia afterwards by putting a little oil in the nose. You can use any type of oil that you’d ingest or even ghee. Use a finger, a q-tip or a little dropper, little dab will do it, light coating, works like a charm! ​

That step gets skipped a lot, and missing it can dry out the the cilia making it tough for them to do their job.

Get a Participation Trophy

A lot of what I offer as a professional can be read about in books. In my experience, reading about yoga, meditation, fitness and Ayurveda does a wonderful job of generating curiosity, contemplation and connection to guidance. Beyond that reading does very little.

Nearly everything worthwhile that I have to offer requires participation in order for it to really be beneficial.

With that in mind, an invitation to try a brief iRest practice. This practice offers a connection to a sense of wholeness. Curious? Try it!

After Cardio Moment(connecting rest and cardio)

6/8/2022

0 Comments

 
Oftentimes after cardio and stretching are completed, I lie on my back, knees bent, feet flat on the floor wide apart and allow the knees to rest against each other in what is called constructive rest position. I’ll usually choose a mantra to listen to, and recently, I’ve enjoyed this one, which promotes physical rejuvenation.

A practice for reset

3/9/2022

0 Comments

 
This simple practice takes a few minutes. See what it feels like for you.
Sit comfortably, keep your torso stable and without rotation. Inhale with your head center. Exhale turn your head right. Inhale center. Exhale turn your head left. Lie down with knees bent. Turn your eyes to the right and hold, keep the head centered and continue to breathe. Wait until a deeper breath arises. Do the same, turning the eyes to the left. Then come seated and repeat the original head turn. Notice any differences. 

Warmly,
Carla

How do I know I'm full?

10/15/2021

We can gauge our developing appetite by our felt sense of hunger arising. At the other end of things, we often aren’t clear of a felt sense of fullness until it feels like maybe we’ve eaten a little too much. Have you ever eaten a wonderful meal and then felt a little too full? Have you ever thought about how we can tell when we are full?

From the Ayurvedic perspective, there are a couple of signs that indicate that the body is replete. 

One such indicator is that you will likely pause during a meal and take a deeper breath. The other is that you’ll have a little burp. Try paying attention to the possibility of these things when you’re eating, and notice if they arise. Body intelligence at its finest!

5 Considerations about Nutrition

5/3/2021

0 Comments

 
  1. How do I know when I’m feeling hungry?
  2. What’s the environment like most often when I eat a meal? Am I sitting down? In company? Doing more than one thing at a time? 
  3. How do I feel after I eat? Satisfied? Tired? Bloated? Peaceful?
  4. Does my food change at all with the seasons?
  5. How would I describe my elimination?


Warmly,
Carla
