Restoring Balance through the Koshas and Doshas, a Personal Journey

Yoga

Aug 8

This last year has been one of incredible growth, perseverance, refinement, and reconstruction. Personally, I have come face to face with challenges that have brought me to my knees and at times to tears. Yet, something within me, kept me moving forward. I was comparing myself, wearing myself out, and allowing myself to be pushed and pulled in all directions without giving myself the healthy boundaries I needed To refuel.

“You are not everything to everyone, said Kelly McHugh, my coach, and teacher.

She spoke these words and I realized I was living by fumes and trying to please everyone but me. “Where did I lose myself along the way?”

I was just staying on the surface and not living within my true, authentic, silly, and loving “Self”. I was stuck in a cycle of old habits, imposter syndrome, and doubt that led to lifestyle choices of imbalance, disharmony, and downright suck.

I felt stuck, stale, and static without anything to be excited about.

Have you ever felt like this?

I started to learn about:

what makes me who I am
what is my purpose
what do I have to offer
how can I make a difference
and how will I be able to restore balance in my life again?

I enrolled in school to work on my doctorate in Ayurveda and Physiology, and immersed myself in Vedic science, as I began a deep dive into the practice of TM, (transcendental meditation), and began to see the link between my elemental composition and how I am the manifest of these different layers of my life. I learned about my Doshas, which are the 3 constitution elemental forms that embody who we are and why we are the way we are, and dove deeper into my appreciation of the Koshas, the 5 layers of Consciousness from abstract to manifest form that we live out daily.

From December of 2020 till this day, I have seen quite the progress in my own journey, and although I still have a long ways to go, I have seen the powerful transformation it has had in my life and the blessings I am able to see now with the blinders off.

I want to invite you to discover the same.

Together we will discover the “Self,” by diving into the layers of our manifest lives created by the abstract elemental Inner Being.

Koshas and Doshas form “us.” When out of balance, we really feel it. From feelings of depression, addiction, denial, fatigue, body aches, stiffness, loneliness, as well as the contrary, overwhelmed, anxiety, not enough time, guilty for taking a break….

This is where we come together to regroup, reconnect, and refine the truth of who we are and where we lost ourselves.

Over these next 7 days, we will begin with asking ourselves:

JOURNAL TOPIC:

1. What/ Where/ Who is causing you disharmony in your life?

2. How are you showing up for yourself?

3. What is your Doshic constitution?
