Meditate with a Partner

May 31, 2016 - Posted in Ask Cate, Ayurveda, Blog, Health and Wellness - 0 Comments

You may have heard that meditation will help your relationship. Meditation makes you more present, more aware, more curious, more efficient, more available, more resilient, more skillfully communicative, flexible in how you show up and respond, more empathic (aka “nicer to hang with), smarter, more intuitive, less afraid, and more ethical. (For research see here.) Obviously, any one of those side benefits to meditation would drastically improve your relationship with yourself first, and with your partner second. But, know that when you become a meditator, all of these side benefits will...

Which Ayurveda are You into?

September 18, 2010 - Posted in Ayurveda, Blog - 8 Comments

Old school vs. Avant Garde. Living foods vs. cooked foods. Which side of the fence are you on, or are you straddled? There is an evolution gaining mometum in the Ayurvedic community. It's called Living Foods Ayurveda. Most schools aren't teaching it yet. Most practitioners aren't practicing it yet. The leaders in the community are Dr. Gabriel Cousens and Shantree Kacera. It's all living foods - enzymes intact - pranically intact, not dead food. When I went to Ayurveda school I never heard mention of it. That's not entirely true. I heard mention...

R U Getting Skinny or Fat?

September 03, 2010 - Posted in Blog, Health and Wellness - 0 Comments

There is nothing complex about it. Either you are storing fat cells or burning fat cells. Pause. Feel. Which is it right now? Right now in this moment you can feel your agnis (digestive and tissue agnis). Is there density or lightness in your inner body? If there is heaviness you're probably storing. If you're warm and feel space inside you're probably burning fat. (Heat having that hot quality ; ) So if you want to have less body- you have to digest it. Sounds a little cannibalistic and carnivorous. Burn up the ama...

Are you taking holistic to a whole new level?

https://www.yogahealer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/familyrelations1.mp3 Are you micro-managing your health and wellness, or are you macro-managing your deeper knowing into upleveling your family and community culture? If we actively switch our consciousness from the individual into the family kula we will practice a whole new level of holistic intergenerational family health and planetary wellness. Ayurvedic Medicine being intrinsically based in awareness itself, having grown up in an energetic study of nature on planet Earth, is perhaps the best tool we have for exploring the Integral gateway between using self-care practices aligned and attuned to nature to...

Where to go for Ayurvedic Ed

August 13, 2010 - Posted in Ayurveda, Blog - 0 Comments

About once a month I receive an email asking where to do go school to become an illustrious Ayurvedic Counselor, Practitioner, or Educator. What is so terribly exciting about the question is the sheer number of schools that have appeared or further developed their programs since I asked the very same question in 1997. Not only is the ancient wisdom being kept alive, the conversation is rising to embrace our postmodern challenges. Yet another example of how Ayurveda is intrinsically Integral - transcending and including that which has come before. Here...

Rules and dogma

August 05, 2010 - Posted in Ayurveda, Blog - 1 Comment

A few times a week I run into a certain prejudice surrounding Ayurveda - usually in conversation with the modern western yogi. Here is an email from last week (I'll add bold text for those who skim): Hi Cate, I"m leaning towards doing the ALC (Ayurvedic Living Course) and had a question for you. My understanding of ayurveda is that it is really rigid as a belief system. While I'm really interested in learning about it and incorporating, at least parts of it, into my life, I don't want to be bound...
