The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   This week is week (3) of our (4) week series with Dr. Sarah Rothman on HORMONES!! 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.

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   This week kicks off our (4) week series with Dr. Sarah Rothman on HORMONES!! 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

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   When I started this practice of yoga, my very first yoga training required us to perform (8) hours of SEVA to graduate. This was the single most powerful thing Beth Shaw could have instilled into my practice.  Always coming from a place of service. Remembering that what we DO in this life is a gift; especially if we are afforded the opportunity to practice and share healing gifts.     This topic gets lost in our capitalistic society.  There’s an unhealthy striving for more to no end.  But from where I’m standing, and like a lot of other individuals I have the honor to work with, it’s all that’s there is … this idea of SEVA.     This is by far one of my favorite quotes from the Yoga Sutras: Translated by Swami Satchidananda:     You have all these things to equip yourself to serve others. You must have a bed to rest in to feel refreshed in the morning to go out to serve others. You must eat to have enough energy to serve others. So, you do everything with the idea that you are preparing yourself to serve others. So, even your Yogic meditation becomes a selfless action. That is what is meant by “Even with God do not have attachment”. This non-attachment alone is enough to change your entire life into a joyful one.   My humble belief is that SEVA can be described as moving beyond your own ego and supporting the Universe around you through selfless action and spiritual activism. SEVA refers to selfless service for altruistic purposes on behalf of, and for the betterment of a community.   SEVA is a means to promote humility and demote egoism. It‘s moving fearlessly beyond your prior expectations and self-imposed limitations and elevating human consciousness through selfless service.     This is why we “work” and “do” what we do.  This podcast was inspired by my mentor, teacher, colleague, and friend, BrahmanKyrie, founder of Brahman Project Foundation Inc.   and Freedom on the Inside.  She asked me to do a breathwork and sound healing session in partnership with her program and I couldn’t be more excited about it!     Freedom on the Inside Project is a set of spiritual teachings and conscious programming that is offered at Donovan State Prison, one of California's maximum-security prisons.  They provide spiritual and rehabilitative tools that assist each individual in overcoming trauma, addiction and other emotional difficulties that would otherwise prevent them from living the life they were born to live.  These individuals regularly attend weekly meditation classes, are instrumental in organizing conscious events and are about to graduate as facilitators where they will be teaching what they have learnt in class.   Serving our community is of deep value; it’s driven my work for years.  I’m posting this podcast about SEVA so you re-member why you are here and ask those deeply valuable questions about your life, who you “are”, and what you are truly offering to this world.  Are you fulfilled?  If not … look to see where you are taking instead of giving.     Sometimes we feel like we cannot give another ounce; but that is when we forget how Divinely supported, we truly are.   I’m also asking that you give to the GoFundMe for our project.  We need mats, blocks, blankets, and eye coverings for this project, and we would love your help.    I’ll provide the link here … every little bit helps.  Thank you for listening and thank you for supporting.

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   I am so excited about this week’s podcast. I’m talking to my dear friend Alexandrah Love from Beautiful Chorus.  If you don’t know who this woman is .. you are missing out.   The way I met her was Divine, the synchronicity that put us together was incredible, and the resonance I feel when I am with her is astounding.  I want you to know this woman and her ensemble of women who vibrate at a higher frequency than most of us put together.   We talk a little about life, a lot of about love, a shit ton about how much we appreciate and value each other, but mostly about how to truly live an authentic life of love and gratitude.  She exemplifies what it means to hold another woman up in her power; she is open and honest and smart as a whip.  I love love this woman and I know you will too.  There are so many topics I want to speak about with her, but for now, I want you to know her and just listen to her take on life and love.   So grateful.   You can find SOUL MEDICINE at www.soulmedicine.live (http://www.soulmedicine.live/) … or listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.   I love you Thank you DD x   🎧 LINK IN BIO 🎧 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dana-damara/support

There is always time and ... meditation is the single most powerful tool you can use to stay focused. You needn't take 20 minutes every day (although that is ideal).

The intention of SOUL MEDICINE is to offer you, the listener, ways to reconnect to your soul.   This week I talk about Breathwork (again) and how it has awakened me. Not just to myself, my patterns, my trauma, or my gifts ... but also how it has awakened me to life. It's a crazy world we live in ... one that is not slowing down anytime soon. If you're not paying attention you are most likely getting sucked up into the void of algorithms, distracting content, unnecessary overthinking, other peoples judgments, and the 1D world. The funny thing is none of this will matter at the end of your life. The things you feel anxious over now, most likely will not mean a damn thing at the end of your life. How you lived will matter. Who you spent time with, will matter. How you loved will matter. How you served will matter. All the other stuff .. not important. And yet, I sit in an airport watching people NOT make eye contact hunch over their phones, and completely distract themselves. It's not for me ... and yet, I too can fall into that .. So I practice breathwork. Yoga used to do it for me .. but that is just a layer ... breathwork goes deeper. And if you are to live a life that is truly your own, you must get past that subterranean hum of anxiety that overlays it all ... trust me. Listen to this episode and gain a deeper understanding around the practice of breathwork, how I found it, why I think it's important and how to avoid falling into "line" with life.   Find Dana on Youtube, Instagram at @danadamaraevolution and at her website www.danadamara.com I love you Thank you DD x --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dana-damara/support
