Thank you for joining me on this journey!
Wow everyone, that flew... it was such a joy and pleasure to share the teachings and practices of Agni & Soma... so dear to my heart... how did we cover so much yet feel like we scratched the surface? That is how it is with this timeless tradition... I could hear these teachings again and again and again, couldn't you? I truly savored those live classes with you, and the questions coming in via email, facebook and on the calls... thank you so much.
This week takes the Ayurvedic perspective on Agni and Soma in terms of digestion {agni} and food {soma}. Of course, agni and soma, as always, go hand in hand. The knowledge you have gained so far about Agni and Soma can inform your understanding of food and digestion, and the information about food and digestion, I hope, will deepen your understanding of the underlying principles of Agni & Soma. In addition, you can continue the practices of poses and pranayama that were covered in this class and do the program again and again, as much as you want... plus dive into the handouts. |
