Susan lost 50 pounds and saw how she was holding onto weight beyond the physical level. She also lowered her cholesterol by [...] The post Ayurvedic Awareness with Susan Weis-Bohlen appeared first on Madhuri Method.

I speak to Vedic Astrologer, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Yogi about Jyotish. Jyotish is the system of Vedic astrology that differs from the Western astrological perspective.

I was sick for nearly 10 years. I felt like all of my energy was gone. Zapped. It was devastating as I had a dream to continue a career as a contemporary dancer. Life had a different direction for me. After being told by the Western medical system that there was nothing they could do [...] The post How I Really Healed My Autoimmune Condition | Be The Light Podcast appeared first on Madhuri Method.

In this episode I speak about the ‘little me’ attachment to material items, people, and how things should be. The illusion of control creates so much suffering in life. What might it be like to live from the perspective and understanding that everything you have was never yours? This includes your body, all your stuff, [...]

Are you allowing the external world to dictate your life experience? Have you turned on the news and felt the fear inside of you escalate? Have you been in conversations where your friends, family, and colleagues are predicting the worst outcome and your nervous system begins to feel activated? This is very common—it’s how we’ve [...]

How are you doing? I mean how are you really doing? What shows up for you in times of uncertainty and the unknown? What is being illuminated for you right now? I’ve created an episode around my perspective and experience as we go through the global experience of the corona virus. My intention is to [...]

I get so excited when I feel the astonishing nature of existence—when things are undeniably miraculously orchestrated. You might think I’m talking about big-deal kinda miracles; instant healings, angels floating down from the sky, the sea parting…but I’m not. I’m open to all of those things happening and I’m also totally open to acknowledging synchronicities [...] The post Mundane Magic & Miracles in Everyday Life appeared first on Madhuri Method.

We can use any life experience to expand and evolve—especially the uncomfortable ones. When you choose to do something that takes you out of your comfort zone, and stay present with yourself through the experience, you can redefine your sense of Self. This is how I use my outdoor experiences…to heal and grow. In this [...] The post Heal Anywhere: Reprogramming Neural Circuits while Backcountry Skiing appeared first on Madhuri Method.

I contemplate death daily. It is one of my greatest inspirations for living my life fully and with courage. Having lost one of the most important people in my life has opened my eyes beyond the theoretical idea of impermanence, change, and life giving us opportunities for growth, despite the darkness.   In this episode [...] The post I Think About Death Everyday appeared first on Madhuri Method.

We are all made of stories. The stories we tell ourselves, the stories we tell others, and the stories of memory that get altered over time—deepening grooves in our psyche and transforming our personality. I recently attended a workshop where I told stories and listened to many other’s tales too. We are all story tellers… [...] The post The Stories We Tell appeared first on Madhuri Method.

I was feeling stuck, mostly on the inner. I was having a difficult time making decisions (big and small). I was ready to release a very challenging relationship. I was tired of hearing myself complain about the same things. Can you relate to any of this? And, when I booked in for a trim with [...] The post The Alchemy of a “Spiritual Haircut” appeared first on Madhuri Method.

It’s so true. The world truly needs and desires for you to be in your alignment with who you came to this planet to be.   When you’re not living from this place life won’t feel right; you’ll be in struggle, you’ll feel lack, you may have health problems, and you won’t be content. In [...] The post Be More YOU! That’s what the world needs. appeared first on Madhuri Method.

...And I'm raw, vulnerable and apparently have a potty mouth sometimes (so, put on some headphones if you've got little one's around).   I speak from my heart with full transparency here and I'm going to keep showing up in this way on this podcast.   This come-back-podcast was totally spontaneous and inspired. One of [...] The post I’m Back with my Be The Light Podcast! appeared first on Madhuri Method.

A client asked me last week if I had a Valentine...   My response jumped out of my mouth, "Just me!" It wasn't a canned response at all and there wasn't an air of sadness about this fact. The truth is, I've come to honour, respect, and appreciate myself more than ever. I love who [...] The post Reprogramming Limiting Beliefs for Self-Love appeared first on Madhuri Method.

I'm not big on setting New Year's resolutions...I feel like they can set us up to feel worse about ourselves or they become ideas but rarely inspire lasting transformation. I am really into consistent reprogramming of the neural-pathways through repetition and constant refocussing of my attention and energy.   Directing the flow of prana through [...] The post Commitment to Myself | Madhuri Method Podcast appeared first on Madhuri Method.

I don’t know about you but for me, teaching yoga hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns… Sure, it’s something I love to be able to offer and I feel blessed to be on a path that I feel is aligned with my dharma, and…there are things that have been a struggle. I’ve been a full [...] The post 3 Common Mistakes Yoga Teachers Make that Destroy their Health, Vitality, and Pocket Books! appeared first on Madhuri Method.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Vancouver based yoga teacher and mother of three, Christine Price Clark who I just adore.   From her initial foray into yoga in a heavily carpeted Montreal studio, to not really knowing she wanted to be a yoga teacher—she speaks of her life as a mother and [...] The post Mother-Yogi-Creative: Chatting with Christine Price Clark appeared first on Madhuri Method.

Winter Solstice Ceremony   Last year I hosted a sacred Winter Solstice Ceremony. We set intentions, chanted, tossed rose petals into the sacred “fire” and let go of what no longer served us. As we move towards the darkest day of the year it is such a poignant time to pause, be still, reassess and [...] The post Winter Solstice Ceremony appeared first on Madhuri Method.
