Episode Description
Maryann Beckman-Berman, owner of Healthy Spirals Yoga Ayurveda Meditation is on a journey to share ancient wisdom for improved health and peace of mind in modern times. “Who is Listening” she wonders as she begins her 10th show. She shares why she believes those with more vata (space/air) and kapha (water/earth) are the people most likely to LISTEN to her while those with high pitta (fire/water) are the first to change the channel. This is not unique to her and is easily explained with both Yoga and Ayurveda concepts. As an empath and an existential learner, Maryann has found much clarity and peace of mind when learning these schools of thought. She discusses how they can greatly benefit others too when questioning why people do what they do. These concepts help bring understanding and lessen the vata tendency of anxiety and doubt, the pitta tendency of anger and criticism and the kapha tendency of depression and sadness. How well do you listen in general? How is your sense of hearing? Are you naturally a good listener or a talker or it depends on the situation? If you are not listening, is it because you are moving around too quickly or doing all the talking on account of high vata. Are you sensitive to sound, to the air, to movement? Have you always been the one to follow directions and LISTEN? Do you get annoyed and irritated at those who don’t LISTEN? LISTEN now as Maryann shares the importance of controlling not just your ears, but all your senses and how this is just as much a part of yoga as the poses are emphasized in classes today. Be inspired to notice and change the sounds around you bringing more peace into your surroundings. LISTEN not only to your heart but to your higher self to trust the guidance you hear for greater clarity.
