Episode 199

Yoga, the sister science of Ayurveda manifests itself as four major paths. Patanjali, the Indian sage who is believed to have authored the Yoga Sutras, derived the four paths of Yoga for further enlightenment of people.

These four paths are like the branches of a tree with the roots deeply embedded in our inner self.  Colette describes these four paths, which are:

1. Bhakti Yoga
2. Karma Yoga
3. Rāja Yoga
4. Jñāna Yoga

Connecting with our true nature lies by connecting to these internal roots rather than searching for it outside of ourselves. Ayurveda and the four paths of Yoga help us navigate this journey to self-realization or to our true nature.

Episode #76 Colette chats with Amy Wheeler about how our modern society doesn’t like to discuss aging! We like to hide our wrinkles and any signs of aging, including hiding our elders away in retirement homes so we don’t have to be reminded that it’s our future too. Colette and Amy discuss how to be more accepting of our aging and be more conscious about this transition and conscious of the treatment of our elders.

Colette and Amy discuss the following topics:

• Society’s view on aging
• Accepting our aging bodies
• How our society overlooks the 50+ age group
• Wasting the wisdom of the elders
• Looking back at ancient wisdom to learn how to age consciously
• The benefits of aging
• The Vata or wisdom stage of life
• Preparing for your elder years
• Connecting with our elders
