It's been 7 years since I started my journey to understand eastern health approaches after feeling sick, lost and frustrated. In the east, the mind and body are seen as two sides of the same coin. In the past I only thought that something physical must be ‘broken’ and that getting a disease was only down to bad luck or genetics.
Listen and find out:
⭐️ Why health is more than being free from disease
⭐️ The 6 Ayurvedic stages of disease
⭐️ The difference between preventative and symptomatic care
⭐️ The need to create space to understand yourself more deeply
⭐️ That you don't need an overwhelming life overhaul to start to improve your health
When our energy is higher we can do more good in the world, we can be of more service to family, friends and the community and we can share our own unique skills and talents (yes you do have them even if you’re not sure what they are right now) for the greater good. Surely that’s what we are here to do rather than muddle through the day!

As I watch and observe the war between Ukraine and Russia, it got me thinking about the masculine and feminine energies that resides in societies and each and every one of us.
If we think about the strength, power, braveness, honour and pride required by Ukraine to face this battle for their country and freedom, these are very masculine qualities. On the other hand when we hear of the strong sense of community, of compassion, support and devotion to their country and each other, these are more feminine qualities. Can you imagine one without the other?
Through greater awareness I have incorporated more of the sacred feminine into my daily living and I feel less stressed and more nourished because of it, therefore I thought I'd share it with you!
In this episode discover:
🌙 characteristics of the sacred feminine and masculine
🌙 the dominance of the masculine in society
🌙 the need to recognise we are all unique and have natural tendencies
🌙 the quest for personal balance
🌙 practical methods and approaches to bring more feminine energy into your day
🌙 why we need to value the masculine & the feminine

There are many aspects to yoga that no one talks about. The idea of experiencing contentment and bliss for many of us can definitely seem like a far fetched dream.
Whilst yoga is often known for it's physical benefits and stress reduction, when we expand our perspective we can use yoga as a tool to help achieve a deep inner contentment, a feeling of coming back home to who we truly are, without all the self-doubt, judgements and the need to be striving for something else. We can simply breathe and be in the moment.
Whilst it’s true we are physical beings here on earth, we are also so much more than that. You are a multidimensional creature!
Listen to this episode and develop your understanding of the five koshas, or layers of our being, from the densest to the subtlest elements of existence and how these can be tapped into through practicing yoga.

Do things sometimes feel harder than they could? Do you often start out with really good habits and intentions that soon fall by the way side? Do you start your day wishing you could hit snooze once more?
I wasn't massively struggling but lots of low level irritations were having an impact on my mood and enjoyment in life. I found my knee was niggling when I walked, I was getting fed-up taking the dog out, and remembering to take some aloe vera juice before meals seemed much more challenging than I initially thought. I found myself increasingly finding it harder to get up and going in the mornings and my willpower was fading!
But I gained some inspiration and started paying attention to 'how' I was doing things rather than 'what' I was doing. And it turns out, I've managed to make the changes I wanted with much more ease. At the end of this episode I share my Top 5 Tips with you, to support you to make changes to how you do things, so you can begin to live this life you've been gifted with, with more joy and ease and less resistance.
And I think it’s important to remember that the choices and actions we make currently, have an impact on our life and health further down the line.

I spent everyday in discomfort. From around the age of 16 to around 30 years old, I had digestive problems every single day.
Whilst the physical symptoms grated away at me mentally, it was the mental aspects of trying to hide my symptoms and feeling lonely, mis-understood and living a life I couldn’t see an end to that was probably the worst.
Eventually, I started to piece together my digestive symptoms, the migraines, the stress and anxiety, along with the arthritis in my feet. I felt empowered to take steps myself towards greater health and vitality. Health wasn’t something I needed to solely hand over to an external GP or consultant, it was something I could influence.
I share my experience of living with a chronic bowel condition in the past to finding greater health and vitality today.
Probably my most open and exposed episode to date, I hope you find it beneficial.

I am no menstruation expert, but I wanted to share my experience with you since I have become more in-tune with my cycle and have embraced my periods much more fully.
I have gone from avoiding my periods, feeling drained and achy to feeling empowered, more vibrant and in flow with my natural rhythms. If you don't have a menstrual cycle you could choose to tune into the moon cycle instead.
I hope by listening to this episode you can find ways to work in flow with your cycle, rather than grinding against it!
Much love,
Sam

Sleep is the most undervalued pillar of health, however we cannot survive without it! As someone who struggled with sleep since I was a child, I used to dread going to bed, it’s only in the past couple of years I would say I have started to feel good about my sleep! We have 24 hours in the day and a chunk of these are dedicated to sleep, so let’s have a look at why sleep is so important and how we can improve the quality and quantity of our sleep.

As 2021 evolves, I truly hope it helps us move forward in a more mindful way, rather than mindlessly going back to the same pre-covid patterns, which may not have served us well. 2021 I feel is a time to awaken, to be aware, and place time and energy on things that we choose. So many of us feel there is not enough time in the day to get everything done, let alone have time for ourselves and the things we enjoy. Only by choosing to awaken and consciously live a life where it feels less rushed and finding ways to manage stress are things going to change.

In winter, for those that have the 4 seasons like here in the UK, winter time is cold, crisp and can be rather wet! When we follow the patterns of nature, winter is a time for slowing down, for hibernation and reflection. Join Sam for discussions about tuning into the qualities of the winter season; from yoga inspiration to self-enquiry and bringing in some warmth and light if you are prone to the winter blues! In winter it can be nice to pause, to step off the hamster wheel, rather than being constantly trapped in a cycle of activity - grab a warming drink, blanket (perhaps a pen & paper) and settle in!

When we are uncomfortably cold it’s easy to recognise that we need to give ourselves the opposite, some warmth. When we feel tight in the body, perhaps from sitting too much or going for a run, most of us can recognise that we need to stretch and release. There are many other opposites available to us all of the time, to help keep us in balance. Join Sam as she discusses a range of opposites from an Ayurvedic perspective; helping to empower yourself to use the concept of opposites to bring balance and healing to your own daily life.

With many of us spending an increased amount of time at home, that's an environment we can certainly have an impact upon. Start to consider your unconscious choices and how you can use the environment to prompt you to make unconscious choices that support your goals (but often find so difficult to achieve) such as; eating habits, phone usage and exercise. Since noticing a transformation from creating some small changes to my own environment, I share with you the C.A.N approach and examples from my own lifestyle to show that a transformation is possible!
