Soothe Your Nervous System with Ayurvedic Plant Medicine and Nourishing Self Care
Presented by Janani Prema Ayurveda & Soulflow Oakland.
Self Care is a form of radical self love. It is about caring for all parts of the self, even the parts covered by grief or shame. It’s when we start to nurture and integrate these parts that the beauty and the magic happens.
These past couple years have pushed our nervous systems into a constant state of high alert. This ongoing state of nervous system upregulation profoundly impacts all of our bodily systems.
Just as we feed our bodies with nourishing food we must also nourish and feed our nervous systems with self care practices and herbal allies to feel more grounded and aligned.
In Ayurveda there is a deep understanding that we are nature’s reflection. We are a microcosm of the macrocosm. As we move into Fall (Vata season) the weather becomes cooler and dryer. The wind picks up its pace and the heat of the sun becomes lighter, more gentle. Vata, made up of Ether and Air, is intrinsically connected to the nervous system. It controls movement in our body, such as breath, circulation, excretion and is related to the sense of touch. As Vata rises in our external environment it also rises in us. We must take steps to help regulate it if we want to stay in balance.
With this understanding I felt called to create this offering. Let’s hold each other in community, to be deeply nourished, calm outside noise and listen to our inner wisdom. Join us to begin to unwind whatever holds you back from showing up as your fullest expression, your authentic self.
During this 2.5 hour hybrid in person and virtual retreat you will learn:
- Daily sacred self-care practices to create more ease and show up in your joy.
- Meditation and Breathwork techniques to nurture your nervous system.
- Powerful plant medicine to feed and support nervous system regulation.
