In this episode Mahasoma teachers Laura Poole and Sarah O’Brien come together to talk about Sarah’s journey into Vedic meditation. Sarah’s comes from a background in legal advocacy. After finishing her law degree, Sarah jumped straight into working in human rights and administrative law, which was what she had spent her 7 years at university hoping to do. In a pretty short period of time, she witnessed the way we currently try to make change in the world and it began to feel that for her, the legal industry wasn’t the way she could have the best impact. As Sarah went deeper into Vedic knowledge, travelled to India and really allowed herself to dream, she came to understand that teaching people new (or should we say re-enlivening old) ways of seeing the world was going to have much more of an impact than her current work.

In this episode our Mahasoma teacher Laura Poole speaks with our Vedic Astrologer, Blaine Watson. Vedic Astrology, or ‘Jyotiṣa’ as it is called in Sanskrit, has become an increasingly popular way of taking care of one’s future. Jyotiṣa means the ‘best of lights’. It’s the Vedic science of bringing awareness or light to the evolutionary process of life, predicting what’s coming and revealing that which is hidden from view, so we can adapt, adjust our behaviour, make better decisions and create greater coherent flow for ourselves as individuals and our society as a whole.

In this episode we are joined by our dear friends, Danielle Escobar and Sole De Riccio from Soma Shakti Postpartum Care. This conversation is a beautiful continuum from two our previous episodes with Ayurveda practitioner, Dylan Smith from Vital Veda. In Episode 5 of the Mahasoma Podcast we explored Ayurveda for menstruation, pre-conception and conscious conception, then in Episode 6 we dived into Ayurveda for pregnancy, birth and postpartum care. In this episode, we focus on the postpartum aspect of pregnancy and how to apply the wisdom of Ayurveda to create greater health, nourishment and vitality.
