Episode  64 - Ayurveda is a Somatic Practice:  Connecting to Your Body as Nature

Kristen Timchak          

In a world that prioritizes the mind, so much healing happens when we connect back in with our bodies.  When we remember that we are nature.

In this episode I delve into the powerful connection between Ayurveda and somatic practices. 

I discuss the rise of 'somatic' as a buzzword, its core meaning, and its profound healing potential in reconnecting with our bodies. 

The conversation highlights the cultural tendencies to prioritize mental activities over bodily awareness and underscores the importance of being in tune with our physical selves for holistic health. 

The episode also explores how Ayurveda, rooted in nature and the elements, intersects with somatic work to create balance and wellness. 

Finally, listeners are encouraged to integrate body-awareness practices into their daily lives for enhanced wellbeing.

  • The Buzzword Phenomenon
