The Nourished Nervous System
The Senses as Portals: Integrating Ayurveda and Somatics
In this episode, I explore the profound connection between our senses and well-being from both somatic and Ayurvedic perspectives.
I delve into how our senses act as doorways between the inner and outer worlds, influencing our physiological states and overall health.
I discuss the physiological and neurological underpinnings of sensory perception, the importance of mindful sensory management, and share practical tips for sensory care and balance.
I also explain the Ayurvedic view of the senses, their connection to the elements, and how sensory overload can lead to imbalance and disease.
I conclude the episode with actionable steps for you to create your own sensory retreat or reset to nourish and rebalance your senses.
