Lightness of Being Herbal Formula

This Tri-Doshic herbal formula contains herbs that are Shakti Infused with Mantra. It is ideal to take before Yoga or Meditation as it enhances Awareness. You will also find that it increases Energy, Focus, Clarity, & Peace of Mind. It performs the unique action of cleansing the Nadis, the Channels of Subtle Energy.

This Ayurvedic Herbal Churna is delicious as a hot tea.  To take, use 1/2 tsp in a mug of hot water – ideally in the morning or in the afternoon.  If taking before practicing Yoga Asanas, you may want to use less water – as a tummy full of water may be uncomfortable before certain types of yoga (or drink about 1/2 hour before beginning your practice).  This Herbal Formula is also ideal to take before seeing the Awaken Within Yoga DVD of restorative Yoga Postures for the Chakras.

Awaken Within Yoga

The Awaken Within Yoga DVD has been designed to effectively address imbalances that are keeping you from experiencing a sense of well being and wholeness. It is a DVD of Restorative Yoga and Chakra Yoga.  It is the first in a series of DVDs for Shaktiveda Yoga.  

In the many years of Dr. Cravatta’s practice, she has found that people are being held back by the “strings” of old patterns. Subconsciously, one is pulled back into ways of thinking and behaving that is not life supporting.

Perhaps you have recognized that you respond to situations with a variety of reactions – irritation, frustration, anger, stress, fear, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or a sense of being stuck. These are all caused by an underlying reservoir of Cellular Memory being held in the Chakras / Energy Centers or the 5 Layers / Koshas of your Etheric Body.

You may have the best of intentions to improve all aspects of your life with meditation, yoga, counseling, proper diet, and exercise but you are aware that these same old ways keep on popping up.

Ayurvedic Therapies are combined in the Awaken Within Restorative Yoga DVD to facilitate the release of this stored Cellular Memory. These include: Restorative Yoga Poses, Chakra Mantras, Healing Affirmations, Inspired Music, and gentle Awareness on specific Energy Centers.

You will be guided through each Yoga Posture. There are variations of each pose so that you may choose which one is best for your body or health concern. Each of the seven Chakras / Energy Centers has a specific Restorative Yoga Pose with the purpose of loosening what ever may be distorting your true inner light. The pose is held for approximately 10 minutes. You may choose to put attention on just one Chakra or complete the entire series of poses. If you are just emphasizing one Chakra, it is suggested that you have the experience of all Chakra Yoga Poses at least once per week.

The Awaken Within Yoga DVD is now available.   To watch the teaser for the DVD, click this link:

For more information please visit our Awaken Within Yoga website. You will be able to get a view into the making of the DVD – including seeing photos and reading the bios of the peaceful, sattvic yogis of the video along with our divine musician. We are frequently adding articles on Yoga and the Chakras, so please be sure to visit the website often.

Calm Within Herbal Churna

Calming Herbs

Calm Within Ayurvedic Herbal Formula

The Shaktiveda Herbal Product Calm Within is designed to release stress from the nervous system, quiet a busy mind, and relieve bodily tension – this Shakti Infused formula is perfect to unwind and relax. You will notice within a few days that you are better able to respond to your busy day with a sense of stability and calmness. This formula is a combination of a variety of Ayurvedic herbs that synergistically work together to have a profound effect on your mind and nervous system. This in turn will allow you to feel calmer during the day and have a deeper nights sleep. You may take 1/2 tsp in warm water 1 or 2 times per day. Most prefer to also take it at bedtime for a deeper sleep. You may add it to just a small amount of water or fill a large cup. It is very delicious to drink as a hot tea. You may also wish to try it with adding a sweetener and some milk (cow, soy, rice, almond) and to have this as a Chai type of beverage. You may purchase the Herbal Formula Calm Within at Shaktiveda’s Shopping Cart.

One of our patients wanted you to know her thoughts about Calm Within:
“I use this formula when I’m feeling distracted, scattered, overstimulated, overworked or anxious. If I have had too much stimulation or interaction it will actually help energize and rejuvenate me. Other times it helps me unwind, relax and feel calm. It also aids in releasing muscular tension, pain, and stress held in the body. It either helps my thoughts slow down so I can focus or helps me to stop thinking depending on the time of day, when I take it and what I need. I have never used a tea or herbal formula that makes me feel this way. I don’t travel or go out of town without it and have had only positive reactions to anyone I have given or recommended it to.”

Ayurvedic Herbal Formulas / Powdered Churnas

Ayurvedic Herbal  Formulas / Churnas are mixtures of powdered herbs. The word Churna means powdered mixture. It is best to take Ayurvedic herbs in this way as it allows your body to taste the herbs. When you put them in capsules or in pill form, the body does not have the same awareness of what is entering the stomach. It will make it much more difficult to properly digest the herbs. This is one of the main reasons that Shaktiveda Herbal formulas are in the powdered / churna state.

Shaktiveda Herbal Churnas  / Ayurvedic Formulas

Calm Within – for a calm and quiet body & mind

Lightness of Being – to enhance awareness before meditation and yoga

Healing Within – to facilitate the gentle release of cellular memory in the Layers of the Etheric Body & Koshas

Cleanse Within – a gentle, effective bowel cleanser that also encourages ama / toxins to leave the body – great for weight loss
