I don't know about you, but I can sometimes feel overwhelmed in busy buzz of summer season. My mind can feel really full trying to process in this busy time of year.
That is why, in this episode of 'The Nourished Nervous System,' I delve into Ayurvedic principles to guide you on balancing your mental health through seasonal changes.
Discussing the transition into Pitta season, the importance of self-care practices such as incorporating bitter cooling foods, meditation, and pranayama are emphasized.
The episode explores the Ayurvedic concept of the mind, known as Manas, and its distinction from the brain, highlighting the need to digest sensory impressions to maintain mental clarity. I also introduce the Gunas (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas) and their influences on the mind, and elaborate on how the modern world can disrupt this balance.
Practical steps, including the Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) technique, are offered to help you create more space and steadiness in your mind. Additional resources, such as a deep breath meditation and a resilience workbook, are recommended for further support.
