RADICAL SELF LOVE - A VEDIC VIEW ON LIFE
Vedic Practices like Jyotish (Vedic Astrology), Ayurveda and Yoga offer a practical guide to understanding our Self and the world around us. They give us hands on methods and skills to handle our body, mind and karma. They open up channels of connection and belonging by giving us new paradigms through which we can see the world in a much more positiv light. We just have to understand it right - not through a dry, academic view but through the eyes of the feminine, in archetypes, images and stories. Ayurveda, Yoga and Jyotish can help us with that, if we understand these teachings in a deep, personal, embodied way.
Season 1 - Ayurveda - In this first season I would like to inspire you to take responsibility of your own health & happiness through the teachings of Ayurveda.
All the basic principles plus some practical advice will be shared here and I will also introduce my favourite Ayurvedic Doctor to you: Dr. Rajvinder Kaur.
Season 2 - Yoga - In season 2 I am trying to address some misconceptions about Yoga and talk about the actual meaning of Yoga as a psychology, a manual for mental health that particularly addresses the Trauma and Addiction epidemic of our modern times. It also includes an episode with a very special guest: my Yoga Teacher David Collins.
Season 3 - Vedic Astrology (Jyotish - the science of light) in this season the wonderful Aoife Driver is joining me to chat about the planets. Find out everything about Vedic Astrology and what makes it so special!
These vedic teachings show you a different perspective on life and empower you to recognise your own perfection and begin a true love-relationship with yourself.

Bharani Nakshatra – The Womb, Yama, and the Power to Bear It All
In this deeply evocative episode, we explore Bharani Nakshatra, the lunar mansion ruled by Yama, the god of death and dharma. Often misunderstood, Bharani holds within it the paradox of birth and death, of intense passion and profound restraint. It is the womb of transformation — the place where souls are prepared for the journey of embodiment and karmic reckoning.
We’ll dive into Bharani’s complex symbolism: the yoni (female reproductive organ) as a symbol of sacred endurance and creative force, and the themes of containment, power, and moral clarity that arise when we learn to bear what life gives us without collapse.
Learn how Bharani expresses its Shakti of apabharani — the power to carry away or cleanse — and how its planetary ruler Venus (Shukra) adds both pleasure and intensity to this Nakshatra’s karmic work. Whether you’re experiencing Bharani transits or have personal placements here, this episode offers tools and reflections for working with emotional depth, truth, and renewal.
