  • You are a creator.

    Do you believe me when I say that? Or do thing creativity and creation belongs only to those who sing, dance, perform or create art.

    What if I told you that every one of you is a creator. And that it may manifest differently based on your dosha, but you are able to contribute a unique offering to the world based on your unique prakruti and personality.

    In this episode we talk about what creation is and is not. How your dosha may impact the final creation product. And how to get over your fears to create something better in the world that only you can contribute.

    Herb focus of the week: Cinnamon

  • Indigestion is a part of many people's daily life, and when the doshas are imbalanced it can feel impossible to cure. But knowing the nidana or cause as well as the steps you can take to bring your doshas back into balance can help to cure this painful disorder.

    In Part 1 of this 3 part series you will gain a foundational understanding of Amlapitta (sour stomach, hyperacidity, gastritis) and begin to identify which dosha is imbalanced and steps you can take to move towards healing.

    Be sure to tune in for Part 2-Gastritis, and Part 3-GERD/acid reflux.

  • Living Ayurveda is challenging. Then add to the equation a full time job, a few kids and a house to manage and you have a recipe for chaos.

    How do you make it all work? The answer is, you don't. You can do all the things, but you can't do all the things all the time. Balancing your many roles and still finding balance takes work and practice.

    In this episode I share what I have learned about implementing Ayurveda for myself and my family from the past year of working full time and raising my 4 kids. It hasn't always been pretty or easy, but it has taught me so much and I hope some of what I share helps you achieve greater balance while wearing many different hats.

    Business, Life, Leadership and Intuition. 

    Whether you have your own business, work for a business, or manage your life, the topic of intuition and listening to your inner knowing is universal and part of living Ayurvedically.

I’ll offer specific exercises that will help attendees connect to their intuition, master the art of self-reflection, develop self-trust, and separate their personal self-worth from the professional success of their business and clients.Ways to Use Intuitive Leadership to plan the best times to start a podcast, launch an online program, hold a retreat, publish your book and more.About Samantha Bove:
