The 20 gunas are the 20 coupled qualities that balance each other out. They utilize the practice of Samana and Vishesh (the principles of Like increases like and opposite my increase or decrease the other). This is a best practice for all constitutions to understand as you are on your journey through Ayurveda, and possibly Nadi Vigyan also known as Reading the Pulse. Let's start small and grow into our greatness.

Now let’s nurture the understanding of the imbalances of the doshas, and how to re-establish balance and self-awareness through a consciousness-based approach through Ayurveda. Understanding the imbalances provides insight into the areas of our lives that are seeking attention to nurture and develop. If you have taken the Dosha Quiz and assessment on our website (jbyfnola.org), then you are a step ahead of the game and have an understanding of how the doshas function, operate, and where you stand. Keep in mind, this is purely superficial, as there are many layers to reveal within yourself. Let's discuss restoring balance in your life.

As you expand your knowledge of Ayurveda, it is important to understand each Dosha in their wholeness. Learning about their qualities (gunas) is essential to one's evolution of health and well-being. Simply learning the principles provides insight into how we react and respond to the changing season of life. Let's explore the Doshas on a deeper level and apply how maintaining balance will attribute to improved health and well-being. If you haven't done so already, take the Free Dosha Quiz and assessment on the jbyfnola.org website to get a headstart.

Taking action is the physical aspect of making conscious decisions that will navigate your investments. When you begin to put this action into place with the incredible amount of trust you have in knowing that God is leading you every step of the way, then you don’t believe the “FUD.” (a term we come to learn in the world of the crypto)

Abundance begins with recognizing what you already have and ways in which you are able to generate more of it. Be it love, intellect, friendship, kindness, finances, etc. Once you get yourself into alignment Spiritually, (one of the hardest to accomplish as it brings lots of inner Self Work and growth), your mind begins to Shift into higher states of responses instead of reactions.

The EGO is what edges God out.

It’s the part of us that as Dr.Wayne Dyer says “tells us who we are by what we have. The more you have, the more you feel others are trying to take it away from you. So many spend so much time striving that they never get to arrive.”

When it comes to mental health our communities often see it as the big elephant in the room, we refused to embrace it due to the stigma amongst all races and nationalities, yet certain groups like the Hispanic and Latin X community further stigmatize mental health in part due to resilient nature and ability to always seek solutions for problems by ourselves instead of leaning or asking for help from others. Substance abuse has become the number one cause of dependency and addiction in the Latin American and specifically Puerto Rican communities. In this episode, we dive into the statistics and solutions on how we can help uplift our Hispanic communities and get them out of substance addiction.

Mental health is a sensitive topic in Latin American culture. Especially when it comes to immigrants seeking support.

As we enter into another season, we notice the changes in and around us. Tatiana opens up about "check-in in with ourselves." She speaks about how one may be pushing beyond limits, setbacks, and the stigma of success. She mentions how "we thrive within our own Being," and how we advocate for ourselves.

Tatiana opens up to us about her story and explains the need for understanding each other’s differences as a way to celebrate ourselves because of these differences and the liberation that creates harmony within diversity. All these factors contribute to stress and distress which leads to Mental Health Breakdowns within the LatinX communities.

The mystical aspect of you that KNOWS somewhere that we all have a collective mission, to birth the spirit into the world for the evolution of humanity. The things that tell you otherwise are old programs, and some of them outright lies.” - Maria Colleen

Mental illness and where they “originate as the veils that are between two worlds” as Maria Colleen elaborates, tend to lend themselves to paradigm blindness or complex programming. Sometimes we remain where we are because we are afraid of the discomfort. However, that is what gives us the room to grow into our greatness.

Mental Health is at the forefront of importance, now more than ever before. We just never know what someone is going through behind the mask we all wear (figuratively and literally). How are we integrating a consciousness-based approach in supporting mental well-being within ourselves and for our community.

The brain has two roads that lead back to the main path, the high road which is slower to process, more methodical, looks at the big picture, and the low road, highly emotional and reactionary. Together, the low road forms the emotional response consciously with the high road when clarity is presented. In this episode we recall the moments of "being here before" and recognizing the neurons that are shifting us into more awareness.

Yoga is a journey, not a destination. It takes time to find the right teacher, lineage, class, and environment that will support your progression and evolution into the world of energetic healing.

Be prepared to get out of your comfort zone in order to discover your true self.
