The Purvida Podcast

[VIDEO] In preparation for the first upcoming Purvida app, I have been jumping on quick video calls with PurvidaPLUS members from around the world. Today, I chatted with Tania about her experience with the walking meditations and how much solace and peace she finds when going on a walking meditation in the Amazon forest, where she connects with her father. It was powerful, and I hope you enjoy the...

Today is a very simple, calm, and restorative session to help you recharge your batteries. We start with a simple anchoring breath to ground us, followed by a 6-6 inhale and exhale to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. We'll finish up with a powerful triple inhale and triple exhale to live in that light-changing room - you’ll see what I mean, ha ha. Enjoy! All the links you need to...

[VIDEO] Sometimes, I'll have a power nap of around 10-15 minutes, and I don't know what it does, but it enlivens me with a huge dose of mental clarity. Today, I share today's nap inspiration with a mindset shift that helps me through difficult situations, and how I really think it can help you too. Just take 5 minutes and listen to this, and hopefully, you can see some light with your...

Ready to feel completely calm, restored and reenergised? This session is going to completely refresh your mind. I am going to take you through three powerful stages with today's practice. I won't spoil what I am going to take you through but just make sure you have a quiet spot, no distraction and at least 20 minutes just for yourself. Can't beat a good evening with me, purvida and you...

[DON’T FORCE ANY BREATHING OR BREATH HOLDS - WORK WHAT FEELS RIGHT FOR YOU] Today, I'll guide you through a four-stage meditation for your next run. Please don't force anything or hold your breath during this run. The stages progress from calm, to focus, then intensity, and finally relaxation. You're going to love it! Have fun! All the links you need to connect with me are below: ⁠purv...

Today's breath session focuses on managing anger, stress, and overwhelm through a 10-8-6 breath pattern. We begin with 10 forceful breaths through the mouth to match the current nervous system state, followed by 8 slow, cyclical breaths (in through the nose and out through the mouth) to gradually slow things down. We conclude with a soothing 6-second exhale to signal the brain to relax. All th...

[VIDEO] Today, I'll discuss pain and aim to offer you a fresh perspective and potential solutions for the pain you're currently experiencing. Think of your body as an alarm system; it's equipped with sensors called nociceptors that communicate with your brain, signaling potential danger and prompting the brain to produce the sensation of pain. These sensors aren't confined to just...

[BEGINNER FRIENDLY] Today, I welcome you to Sudarshan Kriya breathing. There are promising studies and mounting evidence showing that this method can be an effective treatment for stress, anxiety, PTSD, mild depression, and even the rehabilitation of criminal offenders when used in conjunction with other therapies. As always, I hope it helps. All the links you need to connect with me are below. ⁠

[VIDEO] This simple mindset shift is often overlooked but fundamental to helping you improve your life, whether that is forming a new habit, breaking an unwanted one, or trying to improve an area of your life. Remember, change requires energy. The more intense you try to make things, especially when starting off, the harder it is to implement and follow through with it. I hope this one helps you o...

Today I deliver you a 5 minute sleep session to just still your mind and hopefully bring back some peace very quickly. Grab your earphones for this one for the best experience. Good to try before bed.

Today I explore a technique called Jacobson’s relaxation technique, a simple 4-4-8 breathing exercise and a guided visualisation to finish. Side note: on the relaxation technique, make sure to tense and tighten BUT NOT stress and strain. Take it easy. I hope it helps!

[VIDEO] P.S. Please watch past 30 seconds before you hate me ha ha. For my busy folks out there, this one's for you. After about 8 years of working with people, I've come to realise, through experience and a few mistakes, that telling someone to "make time for it" or "manage your time better" is about as useful as telling a plant to take a vacation! Yes, it's import...

[VIDEO] Today, I'm sharing three tools that I've used with myself and hundreds, if not thousands, of clients and patients over the last 8 to 9 years to help with mental health. These tools are non-negotiables for me every day to feel strong and healthy in my mind. I genuinely hope this provides guidance to any men going through challenges right now and gives you the boost you need to get b...

[VIDEO] Today, I share a 6-step technique that you can call upon the next time you feel the claws of anxiety kick in. It requires practice and patience to get good at it, but remember, the brain (mind) is an organ that can be influenced and trained, just like your bicep or your legs. Practicing techniques like this is like going to the mental gym. The more you practice, the stronger your brain bec...

[VIDEO] I understand that this may not be applicable to some people watching, but I do believe it is an important topic to address for those with children. This comes off the back of guiding my 8-year-old niece through this 'triangle breathing exercise,' which I assumed didn't really have much effect - but a week later, I saw her on her own, practicing the exercise in a room. It was aw...

The big question is: Is there a diet for optimal health? Some time stamps: 1-4 minutes: Comparing dietary patterns around the world. 5-7 minutes: How every human is very different. 8-10 minutes: What changed the trajectory of my nutrition journey. Wrapping Up: Don't let it stress you out. Thanks for listening, I hope you find it valuable. ⁠purvidaPLUS Community⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Do you struggle with Monday&...
