The Aging Mask- A Lifestyle Medicine Podcast
The Aging Mask is a Life Style Wellness Podcast, where Lifestyle Medicine meets curiosity, learning and great conversation.
The Aging Mask is a Podcast dedicated to exploring the transformative power of Lifestyle Medicine. Here is where I will share with you what I have learned, and continue to learn as an "Ayurvedic Health Counselor".
Life Style Medicine is a complete healing system focused on giving you the tools and practices to create greater health and happiness on a daily basis by using your innate healing ability. We will also discuss, and do a deep dive into the
six (6) most important pillars of health; which are; sleep, movement/physical activity, healthy emotions, meditation, nutrition and self-care.
There is no" one size fits all" prescription for your well- being, it is experiential, which means the choices you make about your experiences shape your body and mind, including your choices about food, personal relationships, sensory experiences, sleep, work social interactions and daily routine. As you shift your experiences, your biology will shift because your biology is the metabolism of experience.
Please join me for engaging and educational discussions that highlight how every aspect or your lifestyle contributes to your overall health and happiness!

The Chakra Series: The "Solar Plexus" Chakra- Confidence, Action & Metabolism
I have been taking you through our chakras, first we have the foundational chakra- the root chakra-(located at the base of the spine); moving up to the second level we have the Sacral chakra (which is located in the lower abdomen, just below the belly button, and above the pubic bone- on the spine) and today we will learning about the 3rd chakra, the most fiery, energizing , and most powerful of all- the solar plexus chakra.
This energy center is all about personal power, confidence, and the way we show up in the world. If you have ever struggled with self-doubt, indecision, or the feeling of being stuck, the solar plexus maybe asking for your attention.
In today’s episode, I will share with you what the solar plexus chakra is , where its located, what it looks like when it’s in balance or out of balance, and of course- how to bring it back to balance, and I will also share some of my favorite essential oils that will work with you to support the Solar Plexus chakra.
The solar plexus chakra, is the 3rd chakra is the 3rd chakra in the bodies main energy system, it sits right ABOVE your belly button in the area of your upper abdomen, nestled between your ribcage and belly button. If you put your hand just below your sternum, you will be touching its home.
The solar plexus chakra is associated with the element of fire, and its color is a bright vibrant yellow- think sun, sunlight, warmth and radiance. This makes sense as it governs our inner fire; our drive, motivation and willpower.
You may be asking yourself- what does this solar plexus chakra do/ well…it does a lot actually.
First of all it governs your personal power and Identity- it governs how you see yourself and how you project that identity to the world. It the energy of “I am” and “ I can”
Secondly- when your solar plexus is strong, you will feel capable and worthy. You trust yourself, your choices, and your ability to handle whatever comes your way.
3rd- it governs your decision making and your will power- this is the energy of follow thru. Its not just dreaming, its doing. The solar plexus gives you the clarity to make decisions and gives you the fire to stick with them.
4- On a physical level, the solar plexus is tied to digestion, metabolism, and how we process not only food but also life experiences
#5- the solar plexus governs boundaries and autonomy. This chakra helps us say ‘yes” when we mean ‘yes’, and ‘no’ when we need to. It’s about standing in your truth without being pushed or swayed.
In short- the solar plexus is the powerhouse of your being. Without it, all creativity and stability from the first two chakras( the root & sacral) can’t find full expression. Meaning- it’s about translation into action-
Enjoy!
