🌚New Moon Cocoon Sound Healing & Yoga Nidra in Silks
📅Thursday, September 10th at 6:30pm

An evening of intention, elevation, and energetic renewal.

The new Moon is a time to plant seeds for our dreams and desires. As the moon waxes, so too can your intentions grow, gaining clarity and strength until they bloom at the full moon. Harness the fresh energy of the New Moon in this unique blend of restorative aerial yoga and sound healing.

Cuddle up in a cocoon-like hammock while sound vibrations promote deep relaxation and mental healing. These events often involve sound instruments like gongs, singing bowls, and chimes, creating a restorative and meditative experience.

No aerial experience needed. Just bring an open heart and your intention for the new lunar cycle.

Space is limited, RSVP is required for this offering.

*Prefer to stay grounded? Three cozy nests on the ground spaces are available in lieu of the silks.

🍁Rasayana: The Path to Juiciness

Yesterday we went over the importance and differences of an Ayurvedic cleanse. Today, we dive into Rasayana.

Ayurveda offers a great perspective on how to move back into our lives after taking the time to do some internal Body-Mind cleaning.

The therapy is called Rasayana chikista. “Rasa” is plasma, lymph, juice, taste, emotion and melody. There are many other powerful English words that describe the potency of Rasa. “Ayana” means path or transportation. When used correctly after cleansing, a rasayana regime will leave you feeling juicy, restored and ready to move through the winter ahead.

The therapies used in Rasayana help to decrease aging, increase strength, and assist us to live long and happy lives. It is so important to encourage healthy tissue rebuilding through proper herbs, oils, therapies and foods to create a calm mind and a strong body. This will strengthen our immune system, create a clarity of mind and promote longevity.

September is a day away! Vacations are mostly over, kiddos are back in school and it is still super-hot here in Phoenix! A change of seasons seems so far away but it is the time to begin planning your Fall cleanse.

You may ask “Why would I need think about preparing for a fall cleanse when it was 109 degrees today?”.

That is a great question. The reason we want to begin our planning now is because Fall comes quickly in the Valley. That wonderful coolness and crispness creeps into the air almost overnight. Suddenly our calendars fill with family, social and work obligations. We will find ourselves without any free time that isn't already committed to another person or activity. The result will be trying to fit a much-needed cleanse into our now busy work and social life. I can tell you from personal experience that never goes well.

The number one reason we experience an unsuccessful cleanse is we simply didn't make the time for it. The second reason people often struggle is we did not communicate with our family and friends this is what we are doing during these dates. Now is the day to make the time for yourself. The renewed you will thank you.

There is a specific reason we want to cleanse at the change of seasons. When cleansing at the end of Summer, we are extracting any lingering heat from our bodies that could dry us out once Fall arrives. Left untouched it will create an imbalance that may show itself through many expressions. Worry, anxiety, constipation, dry hair, skin and nails, gas, bloating and several other cold, dry and light symptoms are all common.

The major difference between a conventional cleanse and an Ayurvedic cleanse is an added final phase. Our tendency once we finish a cleanse is to jump right back into our life. In Ayurveda, after the detoxifying, we rebuild the tissues so that you don’t finish with a depleted system and weak digestion. If this final stage is skipped, then you will find yourself coming off your cleanse feeling lethargic, drained and weakened. This is not the outcome we want.

🍉Melons & Ayurveda

“Eat melons alone or leave melons alone”.

There is a steadfast rule in Ayurveda that melons are always to be eaten alone. Melons have a lot of water and can be difficult to digest which can easily bog down the digestive fire when eaten with anything else.

🍈During the Pitta season, enjoy melon for a sweet, cooling treat.
*In moderation for Kapha.

Please note: bitter melon is not included in this category.

Our digestive systems are very delicate, some even more than others. It is easy for our digestion to become imbalanced. Our digestion is greatly affected by our emotions. Think of how you feel when you eat something while you are sad. Other factors that affect our digestion are, overeating, undereating, eating too many cold foods, foods that are stale, sticky, or preserved. Foods high in refined sugars will in turn weaken digestive fire and can lead to leaky gut syndrome.

When we combine foods that don’t digest well together, the result is weak agni (the Sanskrit word for digestive fire) which creates ama (toxins). Ama is undigested or partially digested food which becomes the foundation for disease.

With attention, we notice that food has a variety of tastes, qualities, and effects on our bodily systems and tissues. When foods of different energetic qualities are combined, they become incompatible and will create a digestive upset. Some examples that we see all the time could be milk or yogurt with fruit, milk, or cheese with eggs, beans with cheese, or beans with meat. Yes, this might alter your next brunch or Mexican dinner but when we avoid these combinations, it is remarkable how quickly the digestion can turn around.

I cannot stress how important it is to eat mindfully. Sitting down without distractions rather than eating on the go, while driving or in front of our screens. The benefits of mindful eating could be an entire course to itself.

Food combinations are one aspect of diving deeper into Prana, Agni and Ama.

➡️ If you are interested in learning more please join us this weekend at Surya Yoga for a Prana, Agni and Ama workshop with me on Sunday, from 4-6PM.

🌽 Cucumber Corn Summer Salad
🌞 An Ayurvedic Recipe for the season!

Ingredients:
- 1 fresh organic cob of corn, kernels cut from the cob
- 1 medium organic cucumber - I like to use the Armenian type. Sliced in half, seeded and cut into thin half-moons
- 1 Tablespoon organic coconut oil
- 1 cup organic cilantro chopped
- 2 teaspoon fennel seeds, lightly dry toasted
- the juice of one lime
- A pinch of salt to taste

Directions:
- Heat the coconut oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the corn and begin to lightly sauté, about 3 minutes.
- Next add the cucumber and lightly cook another 2 minutes. Remove the sautéed corn and coconut from the heat and transfer to a bowl to cool. Add a pinch of salt to allow the flavors to pop.
- Once warm add the juice of 1 lime, you may need a bit more if the lime is on the dry side.
- Finish by sprinkling the toasted fennel seeds on top. Eat mindfully and enjoy.

Sheetali is a great cooling breathing practice.

Take a steady, comfortable seat. Close your eyes and rest your upturned palms on your lap or thighs.

Draw in a long, refreshing breath through a curled tongue. (If your tongue doesn’t curl, inhale through the space between your teeth.) After inhaling, lightly touch the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth.

Close the mouth while exhaling through the nose. Repeat in a satisfying rhythm—inhaling through the curled tongue, exhaling through the nose. Continue for two to three minutes, or until you feel mentally and physically refreshed.

Scan for calmness, coolness, and spaciousness in body and mind.

08/25/2026

Calibration is something that we do all the time naturally. Our bodies are constantly calibrating without us even being aware of it. For example, if you were to stand with your feet right next to each other and close your eyes, you would feel your body shifting to the right and left, perhaps a bit forward and back. The body is naturally programmed to find balance.

Or breath, for example, is dominant in either the right or the left nostril. It shifts from the right hemisphere to the left about every 90 minutes bringing balance to the brain. The regular practice of alternate nostril breathing can help to balance the hemispheres of the brain consciously. This is a practice I recommend doing daily.

If we consider the dosha’s of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, they are always in flux depending on several different influences. The weather, time of day, our state of mind, what we have perceived through the sense organs, or even the environment.

The way that we avoid an imbalance is to be aware of the constant shifting and moving of the dosha. If we can learn how to be able to pivot and adjust the breath, mindset, or even the body position to avoid getting stuck in a thought process action that is not serving us.

The art of calibration includes regular activities that help us to remain present. Maybe it is a regular yoga practice, breathwork or mediation. It might be a hobby that increases devotion. Or possibly consciously connecting with nature. We want to implement practices to help nourish, replenish, and restore the tissues of our body. This will have a direct effect on our mind and emotions.

Mantra will literally shift our organism and affect the prana moving through the channels of the mind and body. Sound vibrations can be very healing.

Any practice of concentration, meditation, and devotion will develop equanimity and stability of the mind. Developing a stable mind will allow intentional and automatic calibrations to be more fluid. A gift of a stable mind-body connection is the foundation to shift and adjust more easily.

I am happy to walk with you on your journey of recalibration. Let me know if you are interested in scheduling a consultation.
