Transcription
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.400
Hello, this is Tim. And this is Vie and we're back.
00:00:31.100 --> 00:00:34.400
We are back. Yep. It's been what nine months. It's been
00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:37.400
yes since October.. Yeah, we've
00:00:37.400 --> 00:00:40.500
had a lot of things going on. So we were stuck not
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.600
being able to do this. We sold our property we moved
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:43.900
we
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.500
Didn't sell the property we moved back. We sold property
00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.800
we moved. We didn't sell the property we moved back and now
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:52.400
we sold the property. Yep. For good. So we had to do
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:58.500
a lot of packing unpacking getting things
00:00:58.500 --> 00:01:01.300
ready and now we're done and we're
00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:04.800
back in podcasting world. Yes,
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:07.900
so we'll be going back to doing every
00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:10.300
Thursday every Thursday and it's going
00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:14.200
to be on ayurveda and yoga and it's going
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.700
to be marvelous.
00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:19.500
It's gonna be way more fun than it
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:22.500
was. Yes, no more having to work on
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.600
selling the property less vata derangement
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:28.300
Yes. Less. Not no
00:01:28.300 --> 00:01:31.400
vata derangement just less so with that
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:35.400
We're going to start a little series on ayurveda
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.100
for mental health, and so we're going to
00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:40.700
start that just after this message.
00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:43.500
Stay tuned. We'll be right back.
00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:55.700
And we're back and we left a subliminal
00:01:55.700 --> 00:01:59.400
message in the music that said share our
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.600
podcast with all your
00:02:01.600 --> 00:02:04.800
friends and sign up
00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:07.800
to listen to all our future podcasts
00:02:09.200 --> 00:02:12.500
And give us the greatest reviews ever ever.
00:02:13.600 --> 00:02:16.300
So what I want to do before we start talking
00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:19.700
about yoga and ayurveda is a little bit about what
00:02:19.700 --> 00:02:20.600
we've done.
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.600
So we sold our work live. We're no
00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:26.000
longer there we closed our studio.
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.800
We haven't opened
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:30.300
a studio.
00:02:31.600 --> 00:02:34.800
We've moved we're no longer in Saint Pete, which is
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.200
a great great town. But it changed so
00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:41.500
dramatically in the last couple years. It's huge
00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:44.200
compared to what it was. We're now
00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:47.200
living a little smaller life
00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:49.700
in a little town
00:02:49.700 --> 00:02:52.100
trying to figure out what we want to be when we
00:02:52.100 --> 00:02:55.800
grow up. Exactly. That's what it feels like. Yep. We
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.500
got a puppy. Yes. Because we're not traveling anymore.
00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:01.700
Yes. We got a wonderful puppy named Freyja. She
00:03:01.700 --> 00:03:04.600
is what next week
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:07.400
Well when this podcast is out, she's gonna be three months
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.600
old. Yeah, and she's a border collie mix
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:13.500
we don't know what exactly she is yet
00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:16.100
or how big she's gonna be. She looks like
00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:19.700
she's gonna be big. Yes. We got her from a Kill shelter. Yeah, so
00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:20.000
which
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.100
Was bad that it's a Kill shelter, but
00:03:23.100 --> 00:03:26.300
it's good because they don't do anything unless they
00:03:26.300 --> 00:03:29.400
really really have to yes, so they hold
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.400
on to dogs and cats for a very long time and
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.400
take care of them and try to get them owners. Yes. So
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.100
we got a puppy if you
00:03:38.100 --> 00:03:41.900
go to our Facebook or our Instagram. Yeah, you
00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:44.200
can see pictures of her because she's the ayurvedic
00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:48.000
puppy. She's yep completely ayurvedic puppy and
00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:50.900
we're just doing construction and things
00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:53.300
like that. So now we
00:03:53.300 --> 00:03:56.700
can get back into talking about
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.500
Our beliefs in yoga and Ayurveda. Yes. So
00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:04.000
one of the things that we have seen is that
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.700
ayurveda is extremely
00:04:06.700 --> 00:04:09.400
important today compared to say
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.500
three years ago. Yep, so I will
00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:13.300
go with Vie
00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:17.200
You're an ayurvedic expert. Please tell me
00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:20.200
why true ayurveda or real
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.200
ayurveda is so important to the world
00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:24.500
now.
00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:27.100
well
00:04:28.500 --> 00:04:32.000
The world is obviously shifting in many many
00:04:31.300 --> 00:04:34.500
ways. So no matter where
00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:37.500
you actually live. I'm sure
00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:41.300
you have seen major shifts in
00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:43.500
your world in
00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:47.100
the last couple of years and these shifts keep
00:04:46.100 --> 00:04:48.900
increasing and keep increasing.
00:04:49.900 --> 00:04:52.600
A lot of times it feels like there
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.800
is nothing you can do about it about those shifts
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.800
and very often That's true
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:01.800
right there is nothing you can actually do.
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.200
Or it feels it feels like there is nothing
00:05:06.200 --> 00:05:09.900
you can do. You can't make these shifts stop,
00:05:09.900 --> 00:05:10.500
right?
00:05:11.300 --> 00:05:15.000
But what you can do is actually
00:05:14.900 --> 00:05:18.200
adapt to the shifts and
00:05:17.200 --> 00:05:21.200
keep improving your
00:05:21.200 --> 00:05:25.100
life and your community's life by taking
00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:26.300
certain actions.
00:05:27.200 --> 00:05:30.000
That's what ayurveda says that's what
00:05:30.900 --> 00:05:33.400
charaka says that you have
00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:37.300
to actually figure out ways
00:05:36.300 --> 00:05:40.800
to always adapt to
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.400
the changes that are happening to keep
00:05:43.400 --> 00:05:46.600
making yourself healthier and
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.800
happier and your community healthier and
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:50.100
happier.
00:05:51.200 --> 00:05:54.600
So charaka says you pay
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:58.500
attention you pay attention you study and
00:05:57.500 --> 00:06:00.300
you figure things out
00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:03.800
because there are always ways to do that. And I
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.900
know that in our yoga that we taught we worked
00:06:06.900 --> 00:06:09.900
a lot on strength to make your body stronger. Yes.
00:06:09.900 --> 00:06:12.500
We also worked on making our
00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:15.400
body more mobile not flexible, but mobile
00:06:15.400 --> 00:06:18.200
big difference huge difference. We also
00:06:18.200 --> 00:06:22.600
worked on making our lungs our breath stronger
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.500
last longer be more
00:06:24.500 --> 00:06:27.400
adaptable actually. Yeah, and we
00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:31.100
also worked on making our mind through meditation
00:06:30.100 --> 00:06:33.700
through different mantras
00:06:33.700 --> 00:06:36.700
mudras things like that to be able to stay focused
00:06:36.700 --> 00:06:39.600
longer. Yes, so and not be stressed
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.200
exactly. So that was our style of
00:06:42.200 --> 00:06:45.800
yoga and I know that our style of ayurveda works
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.400
a lot again on making giving our body
00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:50.900
the right Foods in order to build
00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:55.200
Muscle to assist the body in feeding itself
00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:57.600
properly to become better mobile to
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:00.200
also give the brain the ability to
00:07:00.200 --> 00:07:03.800
become adapt quicker. Yes and to
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.600
also become more agile.
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.500
I would say yeah. Yeah brain agility.
00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:13.700
yeah it's huge and with that Also We
00:07:13.700 --> 00:07:16.700
also use astrology. Yes
00:07:16.700 --> 00:07:19.200
because astrology I like how you always say
00:07:19.200 --> 00:07:23.800
it's a unfit or un Something challenge or
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.400
what? It's unfair Advantage. Yeah, that's it.
00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:30.400
Yes because it tells you what tomorrow
00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:32.400
might be exactly because
00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:36.200
it's all based on statistics exactly and statistically this
00:07:35.200 --> 00:07:38.600
could happen tomorrow. Yes. It's a
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.500
higher statistic and I know that when this
00:07:41.500 --> 00:07:44.300
comes out, we're in a pretty s***** time.
00:07:44.300 --> 00:07:47.400
Yeah. It's actually rough
00:07:47.400 --> 00:07:50.700
time the next few months are pretty rough.
00:07:51.200 --> 00:07:54.900
So with that you can actually see it and
00:07:54.900 --> 00:07:57.600
work with it and then you it doesn't
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.900
affect you and make you more it actually
00:08:00.900 --> 00:08:03.700
assists you from not becoming depressed or
00:08:03.700 --> 00:08:06.600
not becoming weak or not becoming something because
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.600
you already know that it's gonna happen exactly. It's
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.600
a like the Marcus Aurelius
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.500
meditations, right Marcus Aurelius would get
00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:18.800
up every morning and he would tell himself
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.900
that his day was gonna consist of
00:08:21.900 --> 00:08:25.400
people who were going to try to hurt him
00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:27.800
you know, kill him
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.500
execute him and all these and he
00:08:30.500 --> 00:08:33.800
would also encounter people who were gonna help him all
00:08:33.800 --> 00:08:37.400
that stuff. So he was preparing himself
00:08:36.400 --> 00:08:40.200
mentally, right? So nothing would
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.700
throw him off. That's that's how
00:08:42.700 --> 00:08:45.700
I look at astrology. Yeah, and it
00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:48.800
gives us the ability to see that okay like today
00:08:48.800 --> 00:08:51.000
when we're recording this
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.500
It says we shouldn't really be around people right? Yes.
00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:57.500
So it's a good day to stay in or
00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:00.500
hang out without people around
00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:03.500
exactly and if you encounter a
00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:07.600
possible confrontation just change
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.600
the tune so that it
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:10.700
doesn't escalate that's all it is
00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:15.100
So with that you
00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:16.300
combine
00:09:17.400 --> 00:09:20.900
The yoga we teach along with the ayurveda we teach along
00:09:20.900 --> 00:09:24.600
with astrology in order to help you not
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.400
become stressed and to get
00:09:26.400 --> 00:09:29.400
rid of depression and to help yourself to become
00:09:29.400 --> 00:09:31.000
the healthiest
00:09:31.900 --> 00:09:35.000
Person that you can be. Yep. And so
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:37.500
with that that's what we're going to be talking in
00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.700
This series is using those three things. Yes.
00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:43.200
Am I correct in using those three things? Yes, absolutely
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.600
to be able to be the best You can
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.000
be exactly is that an Army commercial be the best you can be
00:09:49.300 --> 00:09:52.700
be the best you can be. Well, yep. Actually that's what ayurveda
00:09:52.700 --> 00:09:55.700
says, ayurveda says you always wanna be
00:09:55.700 --> 00:09:58.800
the best you can be for yourself
00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:01.700
and for your community and that's
00:10:01.700 --> 00:10:04.900
why we named the podcast also Spartan mind
00:10:04.900 --> 00:10:07.700
strength because that was the idea of the Spartans
00:10:07.700 --> 00:10:10.900
to be the best You can be not just
00:10:10.900 --> 00:10:12.200
for yourself
00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:16.400
For yourself within your community.
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.200
So ayurveda looks at
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.600
looks at everything
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:26.800
you can do within your environment
00:10:26.800 --> 00:10:29.900
in order to make your body
00:10:29.900 --> 00:10:33.000
mind and emotions healthier.
00:10:33.800 --> 00:10:37.200
Because there are always Solutions your
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.600
environment gives you but what happens
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.800
is most of the time we miss them right?
00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:46.500
We don't see them and what charaka
00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:48.900
did is he documented as
