In this episode, I am joined by Meri Consor to discuss ancient Indian healing systems, specifically Jyotish (Vedic astrology) and Ayurveda as well as a look beneath the surface of the ancient language of Sanskrit.
We explore the connection between the celestial macrocosm and the psychological microcosm, and how the positions of planets and constellations at the time of birth can influence a person's life. We also touch on the concept of soul and its migration through multiple incarnations. Meri suggests that experiencing a Jyotish reading can provide a deeper understanding of one's birth chart and potentialities by gleaning a peek into the window of the sky at the time we were born.
Our conversation discusses the energetic properties of doshas in Ayurveda and how they relate to our mental and physical well being. Meri shares the importance of aligning our daily routines with the natural rhythms of the day and the season according to Ayurveda and provides a powerful representation of a day in the life of each dosha.
This episode is an invitation into healing the divide that can sometimes exist in the realms between what has become our normal state and what is more deeply our natural state. By tuning into the properties of nature and of Self, we come to a life of greater balance and joy. May the conversation serve you well, friends.
