Vishuddhi Yog By Harini

Hunger is not just a feeling.
It’s a body signal.

When your body actually needs food, your stomach releases a hormone called ghrelin.
This tells your brain that energy is required.
Digestion begins to prepare, appetite builds slowly, and the body becomes ready to receive food.
This kind of hunger:
• comes gradually
• feels physical, not urgent
• allows you to eat simple food and feel satisfied

Psychological hunger works differently.
It starts in the brain, not the stomach.
Stress, boredom, emotions, poor sleep, or constant screen time activate the brain’s reward system.
The brain then seeks quick comfort, typically in the form of sugar, salty snacks, or processed foods.
This is why psychological hunger:
• comes suddenly
• craves specific foods
• feels urgent or emotional

Pausing helps because it gives the thinking part of the brain time to respond instead of reacting.
When sleep, routine, and the nervous system are balanced, hunger signals become clearer and easier to trust.

Eat when the body asks.
Not when the mind is looking for distraction.

If you want to understand your body better, come practice with me.

Most people think undigested food just causes bloating or heaviness.
But it doesn’t stop there.
When digestion stays weak for a long time, that residue slowly affects deeper tissues.

In Ayurveda, it eventually reaches shukra dhatu — the reproductive tissue. Fertility issues don’t suddenly start in the uterus or ovaries.
They build up over time when the body isn’t digesting and assimilating properly.
So PCOS, PCOD, irregular cycles, hormonal ups and downs many times the root is much deeper than we realise. This is where yoga helps efficiently by working on digestion, nervous system balance, circulation, and hormonal regulation together.

This is exactly how I teach yoga for fertility, PCOS, PCOD, and hormonal imbalance.

We work on the foundation so the body can heal and regulate itself. Please write 'fertility' in the comments, and I'll share the class details with you.
