Chakra Savvy™ with Jessica GouldingEp. 41 Looking for the Good (Chakra 6)In this week's episode, we are delving into the practice of looking for the good, for seeking the delightful, because it is good for your body, mind, and soul. "Looking for the Good" is a practice I learned in my Anusara Teacher Training back in NYC in 2003. Listen as I share a funny story that proved delightfully inspiring to my students (hint: it involves a pigeon and the Port Authority Bus Terminal).

Chakra Savvy™ with Jessica GouldingEp. 40 The Toxicity of GossipToday we’re spillin’ the tea on gossip, toxicity, and the fifth chakra. If you’ve ever been around gossip, you're a recovering gossiper, or if you just can’t put your finger on what it is, I hope you’ll have some clarity after this episode. In doing some research on this topic I drew wisdom from the Jess G Yoga Facebook community, Rudyard Kipling, and Eleanor Roosevelt. At the end, we’ll make some noise to clear the air and give your fifth chakra a good clean reset. Then when you go out into the w...2024-07-2918 min

Chakra Savvy™ with Jessica GouldingEp. 37 Improve Your Self Esteem (Chakra Three)Manipura, chakra three, is our center of self esteem. Self esteem is pretty important when it comes to delighting in life and seeing beauty. After all, if we feel not so great about ourselves, life itself seems not so great.

Chakra Savvy™ with Jessica GouldingEp. 35 Delight in Letting Go (Chakra Two)We hold so much within us, and letting go is a practice that leads to openness and space for delight. In this episode, we explore a few types of attachments, or kleshas, that keep us from experiencing ease and flow. 1. Attachment to ideas about what is perfect or ideal and letting go to find delight in the just right for right now; that Perspective Training skill! 2. Attachment to My Way in different contexts and how letting go allows us to delight in seeing something bloom and grow as we loosen our grip. 3. Attachment...2024-03-1823 min

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G98: My 7 Favorite Moves to Balance Your ChakrasToday we get right to the work of energizing and grounding each chakra with a quick-reset of movement and breath. Over my last 15+ years of teaching, the number one question I get from students is, “When are you going to teach the chakra series again?” Well my friends, I certainly won’t let this year go by without once again guiding us through “the architecture of our soul."

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess GYoga to Boost Your Immune SystemRight now I am ESPECIALLY glad to have the practice of yoga in my life. There is now a large body of scientific evidence stacked in favor of yoga's claims of boosting the immune system, which is very empowering at a time like this. In this week's podcast, I take the class through some pranayama (breath work) that is helpful in fortifying the lungs and supporting good digestion, both of which help keep us healthy and strong.

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G80: Meditate on DetachmentIn this episode, I get real about my newly discovered attachment to the way my body was when I was dancing--and why I can't have it that way again. I talk about how Dr.Deb Kern got real with me after a particularly moving PranaShakti™ dance class and dropped a wisdom bomb on me that I'm still using today. I also read from The Way to Love by Anthony de Mello, where he declares that any feelings of anxiety fear jealousy anger paranoia boredom and depression all stem from an attachment. They all come from something we have convinced ourselves is t...2020-02-2510 min

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G79: Just...waitHow much do you love waiting? I don’t mean the fun, anticipatory waiting like for the start of a movie--I mean the finger-drumming, “when’s it going to be time??” waiting. I’ll admit, I’m not a fan. But I’m getting better at it. In this week’s podcast, I tell a funny story about waiting as a fruit of maturity. I offer a releasing breath and calming mantra. We do get better with waiting as we age, but maybe that’s just because we don’t really have to wait much--especi...2020-02-1812 min

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G78: ChaosChaos happens. The practice is to maintain Yoga, or remain yoked to what is eternal, so we don’t get jerked around by the temporal chaos that life can sometimes be or feel like. The messes of life don’t go away, but they have less of an effect on us when we keep proper perspective and give the chaos a container. We keep our surroundings tidy, we keep our body toned, stretched, watered, fed, and slept. The chaos will be there, but it won’t be such a disrupting force in our day. Chaos isn't going anywhere, so we best le...2020-02-1108 min

Has "adulting" robbed you of seeing the sweetness in life more often than the fear? Delight is an absolutely necessary component for a balanced and happy life. It's so close to our foundation, it's in the energy center just above it! Really noticing the fear in the world around us prompted me to create this bonus podcast episode all about delight.

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G77: Do LessIn this week's podcast episode, I talk about how LESS can be more. Less intake, less output, less effort, or less distraction might actually create space for MORE of what is life-giving and nourishing to you, body, mind, and spirit. Things like scarcity-mindset, anxiety, worry and need to control, shame, and our family of origin can fool us into thinking that all is not well, when in fact quite often it is.

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G76: "Yes" is the new "No"This episode is all about saying “YES.” “YES!” to the things you DO want, the direction you DO want to go, the people you DO want to surround yourself with. Focusing positively on the choices you do want allows a greater sense of freedom and abundance. All those “yeses” come together to pour the foundation for the life you’re building. With a structurally sound foundation, the sky is the limit!

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G75: EmbodimentToday I’m talking about chakras. Yes, those wheels of energy in your body that help you interface with your interior and exterior world. Our knowledge of them comes from the meditations and experiences of the ancient yogis, and we now know they are located at the seven groups of nerve ganglia that line up along the spine. I love the chakra system for self-study, transformation, and healing. For fifteen years now, once a year I teach a full week of classes on one chakra at a time.

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G72: Just ThisThis is my last podcast episode of the year. It's an unpublished class chat from back in May, and I think it's a good theme to close with: Just This. In it, I read to you a portion of Richard Rohr's book on leading a life of contemplation and contentment. Wouldn't that be a great intention for 2020? Personally, my intention for 2020 is exactly that: Intentional. I plan to be very intentional about my time, the company I keep, the work I do, and the plans I make.

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G71: Perfect Vision with Sat NamAs we head into the year 2020 I want to prepare the way by identifying with what is true and clear. What helps us have perfect vision: the light that is within us. Without this light our vision is clouded by wrong identification. This means we begin to identify more with the external than the internal, more with our ego than with our spirit. We start to suffer because we attach our happiness to material things, and because we allow things that we don’t like to agitate us. There’s a beautiful mantra that we use in yoga...2019-12-1008 min

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G65: Sticking with UncertaintyIn this episode, I read again from Pema Chodron's book, Comfortable with Uncertainty. The first line of of the fourth teaching is, "The central question of a warrior's training is not how we avoid uncertainty and fear, but how we relate to discomfort." Kaivalyam is a term used in the householder tradition of yoga that is defined as "freedom." This freedom comes from having space between stimulus and response. We are not chained to our reactions! Here I explore this idea and guide an intention of sticking with uncertainty. 2019-10-2910 min

Ready, Get Centered, Go! with Jess G64: Comfortable With Uncertainty, Part 2In the reading I do in this week's podcast, we come across Pema Chodron's words and her use of the cocoon metaphor in a way I have never encountered. She describes the cocoon as the life we create around ourselves that is safe, predictable, convenient, and trustworthy. This is not freedom. This is your cocoon preventing a broader, more enriching experience of the full spectrum of life. As Pema puts it, outside of our cocoon "are all the planets and all the galaxies and vast space, but we're stuck here in this cocoon."

This last year in my life has been full of uncertainty, tons of change, lots of sitting through uncomfortable waiting. I've come up against being out of control time and time again. Which is why I decided to read Pema Chodron's book, Comfortable with Uncertainty. In it she begins to train us to be war...2019-10-1507 min

Even the slightest hesitation of holding impedes the flow...If you believe that material and spiritual blessings are infinite, a cornucopia awaits you."

Ahimsa: Non-violenceIn this week's podcast, we are informed by BKS Iyengar's Light on Yoga to help us wrap our heads around going beyond non-violence and into love of all. We are encouraged to EXPERIENCE what we believe, not just think about it. Start by experiencing it in your own body--pain can be thought of as the body's signal that there is some violence going on. Stop, back off, breathe, and re-enter what you are doing with more attention, ease, and self-compassion. Or perhaps change your activity entirely. Sometimes it's helpful to treat your body the way you want your best friend or partne...2019-08-2011 min
