Regenerative Agriculture meets Laughter yoga to process grief in Israel
<p><br></p> <p>In this Joyful living episode we connect with Devorah Brous, an experiential educator, urban homesteader, writer, and founder of FromSoil2Soul. We look at the role of how laughter and the insights of regenerative agriculture and nutritional cleansing support us to process the constant grief of being human, and specifically the grief of what just happened in a stampede in Israel at a Lag B’omer celebration. We see how laughter frees us up to literally digest the unexplainable and incomprehensible as well as take responsibility for our privilege in systems of oppression. Devorah speaks to the need for us to slow down, breathe, and create spaciousness in this time of COVID birth canal. Listening and pauses are needed in order to recognize the deeper inner callings for real nutrition and to care for our environment as an extension of our own bodies.</p> <p>Look her up at: www.fromsoil2soul.com Instagram: @devbees @fromsoil2soul</p>

The Yoga Journey of Joy with Kia Miller
<p>Welcome Kia Miller the Wonderful! An internationally celebrated yoga teacher and human being. Founder of <strong>Radiant Body Yoga</strong>, a holistic approach that honors the healing and transformational potential within yoga. </p> <p>She is radiant and joyful and brings a unique uplifting perspective to life. </p> <p>In this Joyful podcast, we explore "living in the wow", being joyful, be responsible, and being a contribution in life. </p> <p>Kia translates kundalini yoga: What is it? What it does? And Why is so effective in accessing joy in the midst of fear and uncertainty. </p> <p>She takes on questions of social etiquette, privilege and limiting beliefs, tenacity in yoga practice, and the great reminder to see life as extraordinary and not take the yoga path or ourselves too seriously!</p> <p>Kia's thoughts:</p> <p>By releasing mental projections, the subtle little wows are more lasting and joyful than needing the big Wows.</p> <p>The beauty of Kundalini yoga is we use the physical body to access our energy/prana (life force). We work the physical body and amplify the wattage of the physical body to access the mental and emotional body and ultimately land in joy and gratitude. The game of kundalini is to meet our conditioned beliefs like "this is too hard" or "why am I doing this? and then overcome them and choose whether to continue with the story or let it go. </p> <p> "There are two waves happening in the collective: one of fear and the other that is taking deep dive and looking inside. The yoga texts say the outer joys are fleeting, whereas the inner joy is enduring.</p> <p>She encourages us to take one consciousness breath and step at a time, to forge a path with our consciousness actions and to show up to life in the best way we possibility can. We must surface distractions and the fluctuations of the mind, apply steady dedicated focus (apyasa) and attention over time while remembering not to take ourselves and the path too seriously even though we need to start with building devotion (energy in motion).</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>

Joyful Living Podcast: Talking Ancestral Healing w/ Daniel Roth, Shimon Darwick Birnbaum and Brian Grafstein
<p>In this Podcast, Daniel Roth, founder of Healstory Podcast, and hosts Brian Grafstein and Shimon Darwick Birnbaum speak about the impact that connecting with their ancestors has made on their present relationships and how it can help shape future relationships. They talk about the importance of investing in our past selves in an effort to dig deep and contextualize relationships with parents with that of our ancestors. Daniel advocates for going to the places where their family comes from, and spending time learning and experiencing their ancestors lives to understand our parents and essentially, our own patterns in life. The healing that happens when we focus on our ancestors may allow us to move beyond the hiccups in our family systems, and helps us to be present and make progress within our current and future lineage. They also discussed how Covid has brought many people home and how Daniels journey back to Albany, to live in his childhood home, continues to reveal more and more aspects of his history and how that journey has been tremendously healing.</p>
