Nourishing Life: Where Health Meets Consciousness Saraswati

Healing is a constant process, and it will be different for everyone. New issues will arise at all different parts of your life. 
It can cause frustration , and uncertainty, if you know what you need to do but you can’t start. 

The first step is dominating your Qi, or wanting to feel more balance in your life.
We need to discover what’s important to us and start at our root, finding out core values. 

All of the ways that one person may experience stress comes down to only THREE things: 
Uncertainty, lack of information, & loss of control. 

Today, Dr. Saraswati brings you through the Dao and feeling alone in the universe. If we can align ourselves with the dao, it can result in harmony and ultimately, fertility. 

Is your menstrual cycle irregular?
Are your menstrual symptoms all over the place?
Are you not getting pregnant?

Taking your Basal Body Temperature consistently for at least 3 cycles, might be able to help you find the answers to some of these questions.

To achieve a healthy pregnancy, you have to begin by being a healthy person. My feeling is the need to treat the person holistically. Holistic doesn’t really have anything to do with alternative medicine, looking at how all of the systems are working together.

One of the more useful concepts that Daoism uses is that everything is holographic. This is why Chinese medicine uses a lot of metaphors and also how diagnostic techniques evolved. Coincidentally, t​his ancient view of the universe is gaining in popularity in modern times.

If you have ever tried to grow something in a garden you know that the first thing you need is a seed. And for a seed to be successful it has to have been created well and morphologically sound, otherwise no matter how enticing you make the soil or the environment, nothing is going to grow. If the seed is good, next you need to make sure the soil is fertile. So we look at what factors make good soil, is there enough water?, does it have the right nutrients?, is the pH right?

Today’s Yoga session is about creating whole body balance by harnessing the energies of Yin and Yang.

Yin and Yang are reflected both in the body, and in nature. It’s one through line from the cosmic (macrocosm-in nature) to the molecular (microcosm in body.)

If energy is not circulated well, it gets gathers and becomes blocked and stagnant in the upper part of your body creating an imbalance between the upper and lower body. 

This practice is aimed to activate pelvic blood flow in the lower part of your body, while calming and relaxing down the energies in the upper part of the body. 

These poses which I developed to help women heal, expands the traditional actions of yoga poses to activate the energetics of the acupuncture meridian system. This system of Dao Flow Yoga optimizes the whole endocrine system and glands using 4 major techniques. Movement, Breath, Visualization, and Sound. 

Please enjoy this practice, and feel wellness begin to emerge as a result of bringing yourself to the mat and beyond to use in your day-to-day life, to keep yourself in balance with heaven and earth.

I want you to imagine something right now. There is a mechanism inside your body, a process that is free, quick, and simple- that can slow down the aging process, including reproductive aging; that can work towards preventing neurological degenerative diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's disease. This process is called Yogic Breathing. 

Yogic Breathing:
**Increases Vagal Tone activating the relaxation response. 
**Suppresses tumor function,  specifically brain tumors. 
**Neutralizes the influence of viruses including influenza and other URIs. 
**Swabs away inflammatory stress like a sponge and guides it out of the body.
