Pathogenesis is how a dis-ease unfolds and doshas are the cause of dis-ease. In both our bodies and in life we go through these three natural stages – accumulation, aggravation + alleviation. This is all normal and all of it is influenced by our age, the seasons, the time of day, and the climate. But, how do we manage this outside of our physical bodies and within society? What can we do about our tendency to live in extremes?

In this episode of the NEW Ayurvedic Woman podcast Dr. Satyavani and co-host Prajna Madhavi provide some insights on how to stay in balance not only physically but also through daily life where societal extremes have become the norm but don't have to.

This is a brief introduction to the NEW Ayurvedic Woman podcast. Dr. Satyavani tells us about the new changes the show is going to have beginning June 2023.

This is from my interview on the Chillin With Ice podcast with Lori Fetrick from American Galdiators about my book! Dr. Satyavani Gayatri, is an Ayurvedic practitioner and author of the book "From Pain to Power." In this week’s episode, Dr. Satyavani joins Ice to share her powerful journey of turning the pain and trauma from a car accident, into power. They discuss the role of anxiety as an energy, the importance of embracing discomfort, and the need for commitment in personal growth.

In this episode, Dr. Satyavani talks about the upcoming 2023 Ayurvedic Woman Program and how it can solve your pain point and turn it into power.

In this episode Dr. Satyavani guides you through a yoga nidra for spiritual development. In order for us to move from pain to power we must engage in practices that get to the root of our pain in a non-attached way. We call this being the witness or witness consciousness.

Pain is an interesting thing. As mentioned, there is physical pain, mental pain, emotional pain and even spiritual pain - especially when we are on the precipice of a major shift and change. In Ayurveda, the idea of pain and how it manifests is a symptom of imbalanced Vata dosha. Air and ether elements. It is also rajasic in nature. Shift, change, instability. How do we turn pain into power?

In today's world there is a lot of confusion about health and physical body type. In this episode Dr. Satyavani talks about what is considered a healthy body from an Ayurvedic perspective and not from a marketing and fashion mind.

The Ayurveda 108 Challenge starts on June 21st and continues for 108 days. This is for women that want to get reset, renewed and rejuvenated in all aspects of their lives. 8 simple daily activities are part of this program as well as a support community and a myriad of other goodies. In this episode, Dr. Satyavani explains in detail about the program and how it is better than any traditional cleansing program because it works all aspects of a woman's life. Take a listen and then register to be part of the program regardless of where you are in the world. https://www.thewomanwarrioracademy.com/woman-warrior-retreats

Consistency produces long-term results. Short bursts that are scattered do not. Whatever goal you set for yourself, consistency is the key to success. And how do you stay consistent? You do the do every day. Especially when it’s hard. So, when you are honest with yourself, can you say that you are a consistent person? Truthfully? If not, why? What can you do to shift that in the direction of long-term positive results? Want to get consistent and produce the results you want for your life? The Ayurveda 108 opens May 1st. This is a 108 day program for women that want to step into their power and live their best life authentically. For 108 days you will go through a process of purification and strengthening on the level of the mind, the body and the spirit by engaging in eight simple activities per day.

In the meantime check it out on my website - www.satyavanirising.com and click WW Activities. It opens on May 1st and regardless of where you live you can join. Want to transform your life? Step into the Ayurveda 108.

Tolerance, the idea of contentment, is a precursor for action. If we are content with whatever is in front of us and have zero emotional reaction - whether attachment or disgust - we can always move forward. Tolerance gives us the ability to fortify. It means that we can literally take anything coming our way and be UN-phased. We can accept and then proceed on the path with no mental hopscotch or psychological drama. Want to be free of likes, dislikes and all the mental gymnastics that keep us tied up in our minds? Tolerance is the key.

Time comes in two forms - linear and biological. Linear time we have no control over but biological time we do. Time can bring us into a state of health or dis-ease and it all comes down to how you spend your time. People will say they don’t have time to do the things that matter or the things that bring them closer to the life they desire. Not true. Time is linked to things like anxiety. In this video learn taking control of your biological time will change your life. The Woman Warrior Circle ⭕️ has started. Become a founding member at: www.satyavanirising.com.

What if anxiety was a gift that is pushing you to be your best self instead of a burden that you try to push away or get rid of? Ayurveda teaches us about the foundational principles underlying anxiety but what can we do to make it a super power rather than a space of lack?

Creating change in your life requires a few key ingredients to be long-lasting and sustainable. The ancient wisdom of Ayurveda explains how and Dr. Satyavani brings that wisdom into the modern day creating a plan for success.

What is Samadhi + is it a place or a state of being achievable in this life? In this episode find out what Patanjali meant by Samadhi as we reach the final limb of his 8-Fold Path.

The 7th limb of Patanjali’s eight limbed (Ashtanga) path is absorption, often considered meditation ?? Are the two the same?

The 6th Limb of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra gives us insight into what real concentration is and how it is different from meditation. The struggle to gain concentration is part of the process.

Pratyahara is derived from two Sanskrit words: prati and ahara, with ahara meaning food, or anything taken into ourselves, and prati, a preposition meaning away or against. Together they mean "weaning away from ahara", or simply ingestion. What is the benefit of withdrawing our senses? The way to consciousness is going inward and the way to dis-ease is going outward.

Sutra 2.49 says: Tasmin satisvasa prasvasayoh gativicchedah pranayamah Tasmin -  on this sati – being accomplished svasa – inbreath, inhalation prasvasayoh – outbreath, exhalation gati – movement, motion, path vicchedah – cessation, stop pagepranayamah – ­regulation. Pranayama is the regulation of the incoming and outgoing flow of breath with retention.  It is to be practiced only after perfection in asana is achieved. It's more then just breathing friends.

The third limb on Patanjali's 8-Limbed path tells us more about the inner workings of ourselves than the outer workings. What sensations are we accepting and which are we rejecting?

Are we innately violent as a species or is it conditional?

Our subtle body has so much to tell us about consciousness. The Chakras are the gateway to higher vibrations of the true self. Enjoy this brief piece on these "wheels of life" and then drop into Yoga Nidra on this episode of the Ayurvedic Woman.

We tend to think of ourselves as amazingly complex beings when in reality we are all just energy. If we tapped into this idea we could become closer to consciousness and see the oneness we all have rather then the separateness.

Why is resistance so high in our lives and surrender so low? Did you know that we can get lessons and information just by the act of surrendering? Less surrender = more dis-ease on all levels of our being. Why do we do this and how can we stop it?

How much trust do you have in the unknown? What about when you are in the middle of the fire? In this episode Dr. Satyavani discusses the transformational power of fire and how if we let ourselves burn we can reach a higher sense of consciousness that is more freeing then the material plane.

Have you thought about the next life? Spiritual transition and the process of leaving the material plane? On this episode Marady Leary discusses what it means to be afraid of death, face it head on and help others transition peacefully and gracefully through the work of a Life Transition Doula. You're not going to want to miss this.
