Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Nourish Nervous System podcast, I discuss the importance of rhythm and rituals in maintaining balance, especially as we transition from summer to autumn.
I explore definitions of rhythm from different sources and how it applies to daily life and nature.
I emphasize the significance of rest and how creating small personal rituals can help ground and regulate the nervous system.
I also touch on the impact of forced rhythms, like a nine-to-five work schedule, and offer suggestions for aligning with natural rhythms through Ayurvedic practices.
I provide practical tips and resources to help you create and sustain meaningful rituals in your daily life.
