Cultivating Harmony Shambala I Earth Medicine Co

We are living in Vata aggravating times in the Aquarian age as it is - transitions add to this aggravation and just like with stress, we tend to downplay their impact on our being which can eventuate into suppression, energetic blockages, and ultimately deeper imbalances in our being, holistically.
Ayurveda teaches us that everything is balanced and how to attain or maintain equilibrium. In this episode, we look at the impact of transitions on our field and how to support ourselves holistically through them, to maintain balance, flow, and ease no matter where life is leading us.

How would you define success? A big fancy house? Luxurious cars? New vacation destination every week? If you said yes, then you might want to take a moment and reflect. Is this all there is to life? Is that all that your heart is desiring? Probably not.

We all want to achieve success and live in abundance. But before chasing around for it blindly, it might help to have a clear definition of what success really means to you. This episode will help you with that.
Find out how to be optimally well and attract in all the abundance to finally reach the most successful, highest version of yourself. Stay tuned!

What you will get from this episode

01:12 How success, abundance, and wellbeing are interconnected
03:28 The key to attracting all the abundance in life
06:21 How we are unconsciously creating confusion in our natural rhythms
11:59 The distractions brought about by the technological advancements and developments
14:15 How to be purposeful beings
16:27 What we can learn from nature about living our highest potential
19:06 Tapping into the power of instinct

Our holistic wellbeing is the basis of living the life we want

● The symptoms that we feel have an energetic root cause that if stays unresolved, will limit us from getting any further in life.
● Physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing are tightly interrelated because the energetics are behind them.
● If there are suppression and blockage in our energetic channels, we can only attract so much.
● With all the industrial advancements and revolutions we’ve had over time, we continuously disconnect and distance ourselves further from our natural rhythms.
● We are part of nature - part of a system of beautiful synergy, symbiosis, and harmony.
● Whenever we go against this natural flow, we are creating dissonance within the whole system. The key to living in abundance, in optimal wellbeing and success
● The comforts of technological advancements and developments are distracting us from the real meaning of life.
● Acknowledge what things in your life are draining you and what feels good.
● Everything else in nature is following their instincts - everything, except human beings.
● The more we spend time being aware of the feeling and sensations in our bodies, the more we optimize and attract unlimited abundance and success.
● Every species is living after its highest potential naturally unless impacted by humans.

The advantages and disadvantages of following a fad

● When something becomes mainstream, it becomes widely accessible to everyone and helps elevate the collective consciousness.
● However, this can also cause a significant drop in quality. The more accessible something becomes, the higher the demand gets which results in the supply becoming higher with the increase in competition while the prices drop.
● The key is keeping your eyes out for the right thing that lives up to the quality that you need to start embodying that thing and get a full benefit out of that. Know the when, why and how to fast, cleanse or detox
● When people read about things like detox via a blog post or a book that gives them a general overview, they walk away thinking that this is the exact right thing for them but most of the time, that is not the case.
● Each one of us has unique symptoms, issues and therefore different needs as well.
● Ayurveda comes down to the underlying root cause, the underlying condition, and the
constitutional makeup behind the symptom, goal, and need.
Ayurvedic fasting is all about balance

Our bodies are vessels that reflect what we put in them. If we continue to let toxins and negativity accumulate, our bodies will eventually show signs of disease. When we let these things happen, we fail to access our highest potential.
In this episode, I talk about holistic detox, a process of purifying all realms in our body. I explain the root cause of diseases and identify concrete holistic detox steps to help us unlock the best version of ourselves.
Tune in to this episode to learn how to be the healthiest, highest version of yourself with holistic detox!
Learn about the importance of holistic detox and how it affects your body's physical, emotional, mental and energetic realms.Discover how misalignments in energy lead to physical disease.Know how keeping energetic boundaries keeps toxins out of our body.
What Is Holistic Detox?
Holistic detox is much more than diet or nutrition. It aims to purify our bodies energetically, mentally and emotionally. Toxins create a cloudy mass in our body that obstructs the free flow of prana or life force.Toxins prevent us from accessing our highest potential. The Six Stages of Disease
Physical diseases have mental, emotional and therefore energetic or spiritual root causes. The disease starts with a minor symptom that we ignore.Minor symptoms accumulate and become severe.The symptom overcomes its threshold and relocates. It hits a genetic weak spot that amplifies weakness in the body. The disease becomes diagnosable and will eventually be irreversible.Toxins
Toxins can be physical, mental and emotional. Mental toxicity comes from taking in information that lowers our vibe or is not beneficial. Constantly engaging in low vibrational things allow toxins to enter our bodies.Energetic Boundaries
Energetic Boundaries are gatekeepers. They are auric scans that only permit entry to things that align with our values, ethics and morals. If your boundaries are too rigid, loose or inconsistent, you invite toxins into your system.It’s therefore important to recognise your gatekeepers. Ask yourself what your nonnegotiables are. Make sure that your boundaries work in favor of your highest good and the collective highest good. Habits That Instill Toxicity
The root cause for bad habits is a misalignment in the energetic field. Smoking, drinking, doing drugs and hanging around the wrong crowd are some sources of toxicity. Our body is a physical vessel. But it’s the gateway into more subtle realms. Any physical manifestation is a result of something in the emotional, mental and energetic field. Your inner condition or energy manifests externally and vice-versa. Connect with us:

Finding flow, ease, and rebalance your hormones, reproductive system and boost overall wellbeing by living in sync with your cyles and honouring your moon time.

There are several ways and practices for someone to get into a flow state. This particular episode will talk about how to achieve the flow state by moving with the moon cycles.
Life is cyclic and we are part of nature. The more we sync our rhythms with the natural cycles - the rising and setting of the sun, wandering of the moon, and changing of the season, the more we tap into our unlimited potential.
Listen to the episode and discover how the moon cycles affect humans, particularly women. Learn how syncing the menstrual cycle with the moon cycles can lead to optimal health which will inevitably call in more abundance, flow, and ease.


What you will get from this episode

04:28 Why women are privileged to have the menstrual cycle
07:33 How technology is disconnecting us from our true nature
09:17 Moon energy having an impact on humans
10:31 How to sync your menstrual cycle with the moon cycle
12:11 Cultivating inward practices on every new moon
13:29 Why burnout is a sign that you're not in sync with your natural rhythms
17:33 Slowing down and listening from within
19:23 The importance of tracking your menstrual cycle
21:53 Why you should pay attention to the moon cycles
24:05 Practicing the balance of yin and yang

Manifesting the power of the moon cycle

● Finding ease and flow through moving with your moon means to start with those natural cycle, the natural dualistic balance of yin and yang
● Without the disruption of technology and the way humanity is living now, we would’ve rested more around the new moon (yin energy) and be more active and extroverted on the full moon (yang energy)

Recalibrate our natural cycle

● Start with your personal menstrual cycle. Rule of thumb: 2 weeks inward, 2 weeks outward
● On every new moon, cultivate more inward practices like eating nourishing and grounding food, doing reflective activities, and lifestyle practices
● In the full moon phase, be action-oriented, get things done, be logical and critical
● Burnout is a sign that you’re not in sync with your natural rhythms since you are not actually giving yourself the opportunity to rest
● If we just keep on pushing, we are not actually running on our full capacity

Start by building tiny habits

● Slow down to be present; have reflection spaces in between tasks and listen from within to recognize your state and take action on it
● Track your menstrual cycle. Find correlations in your moods and your state
● Pay attention to the moon cycle. Assess whether your menstrual cycle and the moon cycle link up and how this affects your emotions and symptoms
● Take action and practice the balance of yin and yang

"Always remember that every journey you ever take towards whatever destination or goal is made out of just a huge accumulation of tiny little steps."

"It's not about how much you get done, it's about the quality of what you get done."
