Jordan also starts this episode off with something a lot of you have been asking for: another breathwork exercise!! Wherever you are, follow along, tune back into your breath, and set your soul on FIRE!
In this episode we cover everything from Ayurvedic doshas to tips for incorporating more Ayurveda and self-care into your busy lives to foods and grounding practices that will help you feel more centered, whatever your imbalances may be. You will also learn all about the inspiration behind Jasmine’s book and the lovely recipes and lifestyle tips you will find within it.
Are you #OnShrooms yet? Jordan has been loving Four Sigmatic more than ever (if you haven’t already, check out episode 85 with the company’s founder, Tero Isokauppila) because she’s cut out coffee entirely. If you’re trying to stay off of coffee but still want to feel alert and awake, there’s nothing better for you or better tasting than the caffeine-free Four Sigmatic Chaga Elixir . You can go to FourSigmatic.com/BLONDE to get 15% off of your order!
Did you know that 75% of people don’t get enough Omega-3s in their diet? It’s crazy! Omega-3s can help optimize mental performance, boost heart health, and reduce inflammation in your muscles and joints – So if you aren’t getting enough in your diet, especially if you are eating a plant-based diet like Jordan, a supplement is really important!! And our sponsor, Omax3, is the purest option on the market.

| 0:00.0 | Hi guys, welcome back to the Balance One podcast, Seoul on Fire. |
| 0:19.7 | Today I was thinking it would be fun to start the podcast with another breathwork exercise, |
| 0:27.6 | something I did a few months back and some of you have requested for another and I know I could use it today. |
| 0:37.0 | So wherever you are, go ahead and close your eyes unless you're driving. |
| 0:45.6 | If you're driving, just follow along with your breath and if you're not driving, close those eyes |
| 0:53.2 | and start to envision a place that makes you very, very happy. |

| 2:41.2 | in your mood, in your central nervous system, into everything that you do and even shifts the brain. |
| 2:50.0 | So pretty, pretty beautiful. I know that we don't all take the time to incorporate breathing, |
| 2:56.9 | meditation, journaling into our day. I know that I often don't either, but when I do, |
