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 "Crown" Chakra- Guidance, Inspiration & Higher Understanding
The crown Chakra sits right at the very top of your head, at the crown. Some traditions even describe it as being slightly above your head, almost like a halo of energy the hovers over you.
The crown chakra is the gateway to higher states of awareness. While the lower chakras connect us to the earth, to people, and to our inner world, the crown chakra connects us to something bigger than ourselves- universal energy, divine wisdom, or simply the greater mystery of life.
The crown Chakra is part of everyone. You don’t have to believe in any particular religion or philosophy to experience it. It’s not about ADOPTING spirituality; it’s about experiencing awareness.
You can think of spirituality here as simply being aware that there is more to life than what we see; it’s that sense of awe you feel under a star filled sky- holding a newborn baby, or catching an amazingly beautiful sunset-or sunrise. That is the Crown Chakra at work.
When the Crown Chakra is open and balanced:
* you will have deep inner peace no matter what is happening around you
*You will feel connected to life in a deeper way
* there is a sense of purpose beyond day to day struggles
*you may feel spiritually fulfilled or inspired
* gratitude comes naturally- you don’t feel as though life is against you- you will feel humility and acceptance
* you feel guided, as though intuition or higher wisdom flows easily
* freedom from excessive worry, judgement or fear
-you will feel like your life is FLOWING - like your life is unfolding effortlessly without the need to control everything.
The crown chakra reminds us that we are NOT “separate” from life, but actually deeply connected to it- we are life. We are a living, breathing part of its flow. When this chakra is open and balanced, we sense that deep truth- that we belong to something greater, that everything is connected, And behind all the day to day challenges, there is a greater thread of meaning weaving it all together.
But when this connection fades-If you find yourself struggling with disconnection- like you are feeling distant from others, or losing your sense of purpose or belonging, or if you are feeling uninspired, start small- try these few simple things:
· Spend time in silence or nature- let your thoughts settle
· Breathe deeply- and focus your attention on the top of your head
· And if your mind feels heavy or cluttered, grab your essential oils-lavender, frankincense, or lotus- they will help calm, clear and reopen your energetic doorway at the crown
The crown chakra isn’t about escaping life, it’s about experiencing it fully with awareness, trust, and grace. It reminds us that the light we seek is already within us, it’s just waiting to be remembered.
The crown chakra doesn’t demand that we climb a mountain to find wisdom- it simply asks us to pause, open, and receive.
Thank you again for coming along on this 7 episode series with me. It’s been fun to go through each chakra with you- and I hope thru this you have discovered new ways to care for your body, mind and spirit along the way.
