The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   This week I wanted to talk about FEMININE LEADERSHIP.  Dr Sarah and I start off talking about Women’s Leadership, to segue into our retreat, and ended up discussing FEMININE LEADERSHIP and what it really means.  Women’s Leadership sounded awkward to us both but once we began talking about how the art of feminine energy, and how it shifts everything. Compassion. Connection. Co-creation. Collaboration. I love this woman … we have so much fun together and when we record these podcasts, it’s like hanging out with a friend because it is.  Listen to the end if you can .. we talk some twists and turns in our conversation, but we finally come back to love.    Find Dana on Youtube, Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and www.danadamara.com.  and Dr Sarah @drsarahannerothman  I love you Thank you DD x --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dana-damara/support

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   This week I wanted to talk about PAIN AS A TEACHER.  This podcast was inspired by my recent trip to Europe and how I used the physical pain of hurting my knee, to unlock and awaken the deeper meaning behind physical pain.  Remembering that you are so much more than this body is liberating and so very enlightening.  Treating pain as a teacher and a gift, is seriously one of the most profound lessons in this life. I hope you enjoy this episode.   Find Dana on Youtube, Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and www.danadamara.com.  I love you Thank you DD x --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dana-damara/support

Today we talk about Hormone Replacement Therapy.  Oddly, after I did this episode with Dr Sarah and I read so much more on this topic. Ladies … DO YOUR RESEARCH!   HRT got a bad rap way back when, when the pharmaceutical companies linked HRT to cancer. What they failed to mention was that the studies were done on patients with synthetic HRT, not bio-identical organic options.  Know your facts!  Find Dana on Youtube, Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and www.danadamara.com.

Truth be told, I’m so intrigued because I’m at that “stage” in my life where my hormones are shifting.  There’s so much information out there, not enough information, AND gimmicks to “ease the symptoms of menopause” when there’s nothing to “ease”.   It’s about balance!  Dr Sarah talks about which hormones are the drivers of your internal system and WHY it’s important to find that balance.  In the following weeks, we talk about hormone testing, hormone replacement therapy, and supplements that can support your system in finding balance.  Ladies .. this one is for you!  Find Dana on Youtube, Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and www.danadamara.com.

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   This week I’m talking Yamas and Niyamas. Now obviously I am just skimming the surface with this podcast.  The philosophy that holds the foundation of the yoga practice is everything.  We cannot hold a “steady comfortable pose” if we are scattered in the mind. If are spewing resentment instead of gratitude. If are not upholding the truth that lives in our own hearts.   The (8) Limbs of Yoga are powerful benchmarks that hold me to my truth every single day. The Yamas and the Niyamas spell out the 10 “code of ethics” are valuable for an awakened existence.   Yamas are the attitudes towards others and the world around you. Ahimsa or non-violence: Compassion for all living things Satya or truthfulness: Commitment to the truth Asteya or non-stealing: Not taking anything that has not been freely givenBramacharya or non-lust: Merging with the One Aparigraha or non-possessiveness:  Non grasping     Niyamas are how you treat yourself or your attitude towards yourself. Saucha - cleanliness Santosha - contentment  Tapas - burning passion Svadhyaya - study of the sacred text and of one's self Isvarapranidhama - Celebration of the Divine.   These principles are the backbone of this practice.

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.  This week I go back to the basics of yoga.  Which means to unite, or yoke.  To bring together …  We begin at the beginning with the (8) Limbs of Yoga as spelled out by Swami Satchidananda.  I speak a lot in class as the “asana being only 1/8 of this practice .. “ and this is why. I look at the (8) Limbs as being something like a tool kit that I can pull from whenever I need an awakening.  No two days are ever the same, no two situations are the same, and we are evolving beings.  Therefore … we will need varying degrees of “yoga” depending on the day.  Take a listen to learn more!  Find Dana on Youtube, Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and www.danadamara.com I love you Thank you DD x --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dana-damara/support

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.  This week I want to talk a little bit about yoga and the idea of acceptance, and compassion, and how we meet this practice.   I’ve had the privilege to teach in different cities; take trainings all over the world, and drop into classes that offer so many variations of this practice.  For me, the foundation of yoga is Oneness. Not ego. Not conforming. Not judging or expecting.  Instead … just an evolution of you.  This one was tough for me.  I tried to remain non-judgmental but I’m sure somewhere in there, I was just human.  Find Dana on Youtube, Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and www.danadamara.com I love you Thank you DD x --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dana-damara/support

I am talking with Guy Douglas this week and you should hear his perspective on sound healing.  Love him.  Thank you Guy  .. you can find Guy Douglas in LA and at www.thegongguy.com  Find Dana on Youtube, Instagram at @danadamaraevolution  I love you Thank you DD x --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dana-damara/support
