Dharma breaks down in very understandable terms, what the science of ayurveda says about our bodies, our doshas or types, and how best to balance those for your very best health. We talk about how yoga and ayurveda go hand in hand to create balance.
"This is why we need courage,,,on the spiritual path, because we have a lot of these other beliefs inside of us that we're so good at reinforcing and we choose a lot of our relationships to echo back our beliefs...and we don't realize when something is a problem. It's usually that something has to be very dramatic (that) happened that was bad enough to get their attention...somebody dies and we don't know how to engage with that because we dont teach people how to grieve particularly well in this culture."
"...building trust with your ability to be in discomfort, with your ability to actually listen, and not command, because you're also fighting against the issue that we are taught that our bodies are machines that misbehave. Instead of learning to trust our bodies as amazing Ferraris that are our Souls trying to talk to us." Teri Uktena goes in depth about core issues and triggers and why it is better to address them from a place of allowing them to go, rather than creating resistance by trying to confront them head on. She describes different modalities to gently irradiate the pain of these unconscious energetic triggers.
