How did we end up HERE? In this moment, in these circumstances? Was it our decisions, our actions, our conditioning, our inner beliefs about ourselves? Well, yes. And the word for that, is Karma.

Whether Karma is a matter of Decisions vs Conditions, or Nature vs Nurture, what we are always aiming to find, is the justification around our life. Why are we here, and they are there? Who gets to decide? Is it all just a random game, are we in a simulation? Ayurveda believes in the laws of Nature, and the Queen is Karma. Our responses and reactions to the conditions we inherit upon our birth, our upbringing, and the experiences through out our adulthood, generate an outcome. It is that simple. Generational traumas are inherited just like real estate or genetic traits and qualities, like our physique or the way our voice sounds.

Today, Sasha and Erin sat down to explore what it is to reconcile with all of our karmas. In other words, every single thing that had to happen to bring us to this present reality. And, to make peace with reality, with whatever we got, whoever we got, and wherever we are. And to make the absolute best out of it. One thing is for sure. It is good to have genuine friends who love you unconditionally, and through thick and thin, withhold judgment. Of all the karmas to aspire toward, this one is probably the most underrated and taken for granted.

France Brunel is a Brooklyn & Paris-based designer, yoga teacher, Ayurveda student, and founder of the interior design studio Yoom, known for its holistic approach as it blends wellness and design to promote mindful living and overall well-being.

In her earlier years as a product designer, France discovered the profound influence of design on wellbeing. Graduating from Rhode Island School of Design and building unique expertise during her roles in various design agencies, she recognized that deliberate choices in colors, shapes, materials, and textures have the ability to not only shape the physical environment but also nurture the mind, body, and heart of those inhabiting that space. Subsequently, her yoga teacher training and schooling of Ayurveda infused her with a holistic perspective on well-being. Today, she draws from the wisdom of these two disciplines —one focused on inner harmony, the other on outer harmony—to curate a weekly newsletter that empowers you with guidance for designing daily surroundings that effortlessly promote wellness in every aspect of your life.

Through her design, styling, and writing, France is shifting the cultural landscape of wellness and design — revealing a rich source of overall wellbeing where the two fields intersect.

Today, Sasha and France explore the principles of chromotherapy, design materials, layout, and spacial arrangement as a means of enhancing health and healing dis-ease for each dosha. We hope it inspires you to approach your space in a holistically new way.

In today’s episode, recorded in the thick of Kapha Season, aka Allergy Season, Erin and Sasha thought it fitting to discuss: Allergies. In Ayurveda, allergies are primarily due to a combination of localized tissue weakness, or Stanya Samshraya, and low or altered Ojas. These immunity impairments are caused by either General Depletion and Degeneration or Blockage and Stagnation. Which helps us understand systemically, that then when someone has an autoimmune condition, they usually have a long list of allergies and symptoms.

But an important note for those suffering: you can retrain the immune system by strengthening Ojas. Understanding this pathogenesis in the eyes of Ayurveda will allow you to reclaim your power to heal yourself naturally, and prevent the condition from returning. We hope this knowledge serves you well for every Season to come.
