Health Harmony & Happiness with Cathy

It's a full moon this week.  Full moons can be a time when comparison starts coming out, because they are also a time when we start making connections and seeing what everyone else is putting out there in the world.  Which is exactly why you need this reminder right now.

The universe's pace is the right pace; we are the ones who create stress in life because of the constraints of time we place on ourselves

This episode is permission to go at the pace you are going at right now and why it is exactly the right pace for you.

Habits and rituals, two seemingly different words, but really tied very closely together, one just holds a little more power than the other.

The word "ritual" can make some people cringe.  It can take your mind all sorts of places, but in this episode I invite you to consider looking at the word slightly differently.

Whether your in the "habits" camp or the "rituals" camp, or possibly even both camps, like I am, one thing is certain, being intentional about your habits is crucial in keeping exhaustion, overwhelm and burnout at bay. 

Find out what "ritual" really means, and why it's not just a word for worshiping something.

Playing it safe means you aren't finding that edge in life that makes you the best version of yourself. But if adding one more thing to your list to take action on or try harder at seems overwhelming, rest assured, finding your edge doesn't always mean you have to do more.

This episode is a continuation of last week's episode in which I discussed what it means to find your "edge" and how to go about doing so.   But when you're on a self-understanding journey, it's not about trying harder or doing more, but instead using intentionality in the way that you approach life and perhaps even shedding some things from your life in the meantime. 

When your version of playing it safe is to keep busy all the time, here's how to better yourself without adding to your to-do list.

Flowing with your time, energy and focus even when unexpected things come up, doesn't just mean floating through life and letting life happen to you.  On the contrary, it means intentionally becoming aware of those places that make you slightly uncomfortable then learning to adapt to them without going too far.  Also known as finding your edge.

In this episode, I take you through a visualization to help you figure out how to identify your edge.  I also talk about what it means to find your edge and how to know when you've gone beyond your edge.

Transitions are one of the toughest things both in life and on the yoga mat, yet you can indeed train yourself to make them easy and maybe even effortless.  When approaching a transition, in order to get to the place of effortless action, there are three key things that I've discovered need to be intention placed around them.

Transitions are happening all the time--everyday moments to the larger times in life--job changes, menopause, retirement, adding children to your family, marriages.  We also feel the pull of nature's transitions through the seasons, and the cosmic or astrological transitions with the moon and even the planets, so it's natural that they can sometimes feel clunky and awkward or frustrating and rigid rather than smooth and effortless, flowing.  But it is possible to create a way of being that makes transitions more effortless, whether they are big or small and whether they are tangible or energetic.

Transitions are one of the toughest things both in life and on the yoga mat, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think.

This is the first episode in a 2-part series on making transitions effortless. We are constantly being faced with transitions, from the everyday moments like getting the kids out the door in the morning or moving through the highs and lows in your personal cycle, to the larger life experiences like retirement, having kids, marriage or menopause.  And although transitions are necessary, they are one of the things that can make life feel more challenging than it has to be.

In this episode, I talk you through the real reason transitions can feel heavy and take you through a visualization to help you identify the process that happens when you are going through a transition.

Unconditional love means that we treat others, how we would want to be treated, not how we deserve to be treated, but how we would want to be treated. Yet, so often we unconsciously place expectations, limits, or conditions as you might call them on how we love others or how we treat others, including ourselves.


Unconditional love towards yourself means forgiveness.  It means turning towards yourself and offering tenderness and nurturing--physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically--even we you think you don't deserve it.  Even when you think you don't have the time or energy to offer that to yourself.

Being a do-it-all person means you know how to get stuff done, but it often comes at the expense of other things or people, yourself included.

For various reasons many of us, when we become adults, feel the need to do everything, but in all reality, there's a couple key elements that spur us to become "do-it-all" humans. And these things are all very closely related, and likely a product of trying to protect ourselves from the time we were young humans.

In this episode, my coach, Deb Blum, shares her take on what's behind your do-it-all nature.

I have a natural tendency to turn away from myself when life gets crazy around me. You might too...it's completely another way of numbing or checking out so we don't have to really feel anything. In times of stress or chaos, we revert back to our natural training, to what we can do on auto-pilot, and if you're like me, that means you're likely not really recognizing your feelings.

Your body craves routine. It has natural rhythms to remind you of that. But when routine stops, you move in this space of both freedom and chaos. 

You have the freedom to do whatever you want, but without boundaries or established patterns of connection, the chaos around you nudges you to revert back to old habits and patterns.

Routine is so comforting, yet when you have to surrender to those times of being out of routine, you get a glimpse at what your natural tendencies are.

Even if you've been practicing a more conscious way of living for years, you might still have those moments when you fall back into old habits, it's just part of the journey.

And that's what I'm talking about in today's episode, along with the role yoga and your energetic rhythms play in this tendency to abandon self.

Work and Rest, two necessary phases of everything we do in life. Yet, in today's world, we often get stuck in the work mode, thinking that's the only way to productivity. But yoga teaches otherwise.

In yoga, you need both the postures that are going to challenge us and energize us as well as the postures that are going to quiet us and allow us to reflect inward. If you don't have a rhythm of these postures, you'll likely leave your yoga practice feeling out of sorts or either overly anxious or lethargic. But if the practice you do communicates a rhythm and a balance in what you're doing, you too, will feel that way.

In today's episode find out why who you are on the yoga mat is who you are off the yoga mat, even if you don't practice yoga.

Transitions get you from one thing to another, and naturally they may feel clunky, especially in the beginning.  They are asking you to do something different than what your body and mind are comfortable doing. 

From the time you are born until the time that you die you are faced with transitions of every kind in life.  There's really no escaping them.   They can be simple transitions like waking in the morning or more complex, like retiring from a 30+ year career.   They all correspond to the rhythms of life, yet they aren't always fun or easy.

It's often those more complex transitions that we want to rush through to just hurry up and get to the other side because we know they are going to be tricky, but those are likely the ones you learn the most from; and that's what today's episode is all about.

Full moon time is an ideal time to begin clearing out the clutter in your life; and there just so happens to be one tomorrow! 

With the holidays just over, you've likely got even more stuff now than you did before and you're trying to figure out where it's all going to go. But perhaps organization is what is needed, perhaps it's actually time to say goodbye to some of the things in your life that you really don't need taking up space or creating stagnant energy in your life and keeping you stuck or feeling overwhelmed.

Everything holds energy--inanimate and animate--and all energy has the potential to affect you. And when you fill the space of your home, desk, car, and life with physical things, all that energy impacts your mental and emotional health. But you likely may not even realize that until you begin to clear out the physical. 

It's when you begin to clear out the physical clutter in your life, that the space to begin examining your inner clutter begins to reveal itself. 

Krista Lockwood is a decluttering expert. She is a mom of 5 who helps other moms declutter without becoming a full blown minimalist! 

In this episode we talk...

1. How decluttering is the most basic level of support you can give yourself 

2. How decluttering impacts our energy/feelings

Your mind and body are one, and not separate as we have been led to believe. What happens in one is a direct reflection of the other. And when it comes to dis-ease or discomfort in your physical body it's likely that the discomfort is trying to get you to pay attention to something in your mental or emotional awareness as well.

In today's episode, I share why discomforts or aches and pains are simply messengers your body uses to communicate with you.  I also share how to begin to get in touch with what those messages are so that you can begin to free yourself from the aches and pains that you might be living with or could happen upon at any time in your life.

Discomfort is stuck energy; stuck energy can't flow, instead it builds up and causes dis-ease.

Your breath holds the profound ability to act as a mirror for your mental, emotional and energetic self.  I'd even go as far as to say how you breathe is who you are as a person in any given moment. 

Your breath is a powerful tool within you--your life force. It's the breath you received from God when you came into this world.

In this episode I talk briefly about the science of your breath and it's intended purpose for living, as well as how it impacts not only your physical, but also your mental, emotional and energetic self.  I introduce you to the Maya Kosha Model, which is the yogic model that represents the path to end suffering through the layers or illusory sheaths that make up who we are as humans.

Awareness, like with all things is the first step when it comes to breathing or using breath control to change the way you're feeling at any given time.  I'll talk you through some simple steps to become aware of your breath and give you a couple breath practices you can use today to begin to use breath as a tool to calm your nervous system.

Flowing with life doesn't just mean just moving in a straight line - it means moving WITH the ups and downs.  Adapting.  Allowing.  Even when it feels icky and uncomfortable.

And that means you'll have days that feel heavy, even filled with anxiety. 

These days often happen in the phase right before the end of an Energetic Rhythms cycle or right at the start of one.  And everyone experiences them.  And when you track your rhythms, you likely begin to see patterns in when they arrive. 

And sometimes you don't.  Sometimes these days of feeling heavy come with other life or astrological events. 

Today I'm giving you permission to allow these days to happen and not feel guilty about them.  To allow them and release the feelings of inadequacy that sometimes come along with them.

There's this thought out there that the word spiritual equals religion.  That if someone says: Oh, she's really "spiritual," that it means she's devoted to Christ or that she's religious in some way. 

It's simply untrue.

The word "spiritual" involves so much more than any one particular belief system or religion.

In this episode I breakdown the difference in being spiritual and being religious and share with you some ways you can invite spiritual practices into your life on a daily basis.

This is the final episode in a 4-part series about the phases of your Energetic Rhythms Cycle.   Each phase plays a crucial role in helping you feel in flow with your time, energy and focus, and if even one phase is ignored, it can make life much harder than it needs to be.  I've given you nuggets of how to implement each phase and an awareness of what challenges might arise within each phase.

This last phase of your Energetic Rhythms Cycle is all about completing and celebrating, and is just as essential to recognize and move through as the others, yet  it's one of the most commonly ignored phases. 

And when it's overlooked, it keeps you from actually completing a cycle and leaves you feeling the weight of whatever is left undone still hanging on you as you try to move forward in life.

When any one phase of your Energetic Rhythms Cycle is left out, life will inevitably feel harder, and you'll be more likely to feel scattered, overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout.

Listen in as I share how to complete the Energetic Rhythms Cycle so you can move into the next one without a ton of baggage.
