Have you ever had a stressful or tramatic experience and your body begins to involuntarily shake? Have you also tried to stop the shaking? It is very common in our culture to do so, but this shaking is a key to processing stress and trauma.

In this episode, I welcome Siv Shields, a chiropractor from Norway with a deep background in meditation and various stress relief practices.

We dive into the fascinating topic of neurogenic tremoring, a natural mechanism our bodies use to release stress and trauma through involuntary shaking.

Siv shares her journey, including her discovery and training in this technique, and explains how it can benefit those dealing with chronic stress, and trauma.

We discuss the importance of understanding and allowing our bodies to naturally release tension, and Siv provides insights on integrating this practice into various therapeutic and daily routines for overall well-being.

I'm excited to share this powerful tool with you and offer ways to learn more about it.

In this episode:

• Siv's Journey and Professional Background
• Discovering Neurogenic Tremoring
• Understanding Neurogenic Tremoring
• Practical Applications and Benefits
• Challenges and Misconceptions

I've been talking a lot about "connecting to your life force" but what exactly IS your life force?

It could be many things, and one of the ways I think of it is Prana.

In this episode, I explore the concept of prana, the vital life force in yogic and Ayurvedic traditions.

I discuss prana's nature as the universal energy that animates all natural life, its movement in the body through energy channels called nadis, and physical channels called srotas.

I also share a guided meditation practice focused on bringing prana into the heart center, highlighting the deep connection between mind, breath, and prana.

Additionally, I offer practical tips for incorporating these principles into daily life to maintain vitality and health.

In this episode:

• Introduction to Prana
• The Role of Prana in the Body
• Prana and the Mind-Body Connection
• Prana Flow and Somatic Practices
• Guided Prana Meditation
• Conclusion and Additional Resources

Food is more than it's nutritional composition. It is also a composition of tastes, and these tastes can be important clues to whether that food is going to bring us in or out of balance.

In this episode, I focus on the six fundamental tastes in Ayurveda and their effects on the body's doshas.

I elaborate on how these tastes—sweet, salty, sour, bitter, pungent, and astringent—influence our physical and emotional wellbeing through the foods and herbs we consume.

To aid your understanding, I've created a detailed six-taste chart, which will be available through my newsletter and the show notes.

Alongside discussing the tastes, their elemental composition, and their impact on various doshas, I provide practical examples of foods and herbs for each taste.

I encourage you to track your daily taste intake and adjust according to the season's dominant dosha for better balance and overall health.

In this episode:

• Introduction to the Six Tastes in Ayurveda
• The Sweet Taste: Nourishment and Balance
• The Bitter Taste: Cleansing and Cooling
• The Pungent Taste: Stimulating and Invigorating
• The Sour Taste: Warming and Moistening
• The Salty Taste: Energizing and Grounding
• The Astringent Taste: Drying and Tonifying
• Incorporating All Six Tastes for Balance
