Yoga with Bel

On my first day of practice with , while I was in , she came to assist and said follow my signal. Next thing I know, I'm standing up!!!

I hadn't experienced rising up from wheel before; so at that point, what my body did my mind couldn't believe it'd happened.

If there is something that I've come to be aware of is how much the mind can influence the body.

On the mat of course, there are both physical limitations and new range of movements to be discovered but; equally and, more importantly if I may say, the mind state plays a crucial role.

If you are giving more attention to your thoughts than needed, the outcome will most probably be on the lines of these, whatever they might be.

On the contrary, if you flow and move in the -now- moment (t=0), the mind does not even have a chance to come into play.

Dropping back to my example; I didn't have a clue of what was about to happen, I wasn't even thinking of rising up for that matter. My mind was thoughtless for that tiny fraction of time and had no previous experience to cling itself too.

"There" is where the magic happens.

While this is probably the toughest part of the practice (hands up beginner number 1 here), rooting in the body and coming back to the breath again and again is the trick to the .

And if the mind wants to take control; for pure practicality, make it work in your favour and wisely choose the quality of your thinking.

So so vibing to the colour of this tea!
🪭🌹🌺

During summer, when we crave feeling light and fresh, Ayurveda teaches us to cool the body from the inside out.
🌱

How to?
One tip is by avoiding very cold or icy drinks which weaken our agni (digestive fire) and having drinks of usna virya (cooling potency) instead.
🆒

This drink is the perfect example and full of such cooling goodness!
👌

Would you try it? It’s so simple!
📝

All you need to do is brewing a mixture of coriander seeds, fennel seeds, rose petals and hibiscus. Let it cool down and sip through the day!
🍹

Let me know in the comments if you give it a go!

Yoga is a Sanskrit word derived from the root “yuj” which means yoke/union.

There are many definitions of yoga across major texts with all of them bringing beautiful nuances to the subject.

A classical example is the one given by Patanjali in his sutra “Yogah citta vrtti nirodhah {1.2}”.

In Sanskrit:
Yogah: Yoga (is)
Citta: mind-stuff, mind field
Vrtti: modifications
Nirodhah: restraint, inhibition

Therefore, Yoga is the inhibition and sublimation of the modifications of the mind.

But how to? We might wonder!
Not to say it’s an easy task, but Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras give us all the details if we follow the Ashtanga system.

Again, in Sanskrit:
Ashta: eight
Anga: limbs

Which in the Ashtanga Yoga system are:
1. Yama
2. Niyama
3. Asana
4. Pranayama
5. Pratyahara
6. Dharana
7. Dhyana
8. Samadhi

It’s important to be aware of this and not confuse the Ashtanga Yoga or 8-fold method from Patanjali with the physical practice of Ashtanga Yoga; even though yes, the latter is rooted in the foremost.

Did you know this difference!? Let’s chat! 💌

The Panchamahabhutas

In many cases when I get asked what Ayurveda is, I like taking it a step back and talking about the Panchamahabhutas.

In Sanskrit:
• Pancha: five
• Maha: great
• Bhutas: element (or ghost)

The universe and that includes us (remember that as the macrocosm is the microcosm) is made of the 5 elements.

They represent the etheric, gaseous, radiant, liquid & solid form of all matter and subsequently according to their own nature, they hold different properties.

So then, what comes to mind when you think of each element?

Some possible answers and examples are:

🌌Ether (Akasha)
Space, emptiness, light, omnipresent, universal, formless...

🌬️Air (Vayu)
Dry, light, clear, rough, mobile...

🔥Fire (Teja)
Hot, dry, sharp, penetrating, luminous...

🌊Water (Apo)
Fluid, heavy, soft, viscous, cold, dense, cohesive...

🌍Earth (Prithivi)
Heavy, hard, firm, dense, slow moving, bulky...

Ayurveda is an extremely vast science, but if you grasp the principle of the 5 elements you have got the basics of its foundation and logic.

Understanding their qualities and how they manifest in nature - both at gross and subtle levels - gives you the basic foundation to comprehend the logic behind this ancient wisdom of Ayurveda.

I’ve been pressing the reset bottom a few times lately.
And honestly I’m sure there will be loads more to come.

There is something expansive, liberating and freeing associated to the sensation a clean slate brings.

So here I am.
On a mission to create space; physically, mentally.
Committed to the cause.
It requires work and I am down for it.

System reboot in progress.
Soul upgrade incoming.

Soaked light,
that bathes us out.
Yet subtly emerging,
as it whirls deep down.

✨

Drinking
the medicine.

Being
the medicine.
