Ayurveda: Ancient Healing Becomes New Again
I hope you enjoyed the CHI FOR YOURSELF interview with Michelle Fondin. We heard a great story of how Michelle found Ayurveda, and then dedicated herself to wellness using and teaching the 5 thousand year old practice.
Here are some talking points from last week’s show..
- A definition of Ayurveda
- Ayurveda and religion
- Michelle discovers Ayurveda
- Medical practices and going “inward”
- Is Ayurveda a fad?
- An approach built around the wheel
- Moving toward holistic dealing with dis-ease
- Moving society away from medicating
- Food as a healer
- “Living food”
- Michelle’s relationship lessons
- Attracting rather than pursuing relationships
- Meditation for balance

…and, if you have a pet you’re going to enjoy the upcoming CHI FOR YOURSELF interview on communicating with your animals. More on that show in a future post!

On CHI FOR YOURSELF: Ayurveda- Healing in an Unconventional Way
How much do you know about Ayurveda? On our next CHI FOR YOURSELF we’ll hear from a woman who turned to this 5,000 year old tradition when she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Ayurveda resonated with Michelle Fondin because she was searching for ways to understand why she was sick and for ways to actively participate in her healing– rather than just turn it over to experts and protocols. Michelle Fondin is the author of THE WHEEL OF HEALING WITH AYURVEDA: An Easy Guide to a Healthy Lifestyle.
Michelle is our scheduled guest this Thursday June 11th, at 4pm Eastern, 1pm Pacific time at chiforyourself.com. Be with us on the call!

A Few Thoughts on the Inner Workings of Meditation
Meditation can be a useful tool in your overall health and wellness. We live in an electronic society and most might find sitting in silence and tapping into their quiet consciousness a bit challenging at first.
Our culture revolves around smartphones, electronic applications, social media and selfies. Most people shudder at the thought of not having their phone in their hands during their waking hours. This is a new form of stress and anxiety we’ve created as a modern society. Life can be stressful at times due to school, work, finances, family and relationships. We’re bombarded with negative news stories from television, cable, radio, internet and social media.
The average person will process the stresses of life and not think twice about it, unfortunately some will turn to prescription medications, alcohol and drugs to alleviate depression and anxiety. When we are out of balance we seek peace and serenity in any form to make us feel better. Meditation will help you quiet your mind, center your spirit and balance your life.
Peace
