Ep. 145 Goddess Work & Deep Spiritual Remembrances for Winter

This is a picture of Katie Silcox. The text reads, "Spirit Sessions: Find your true spiritual home with Katie Silcox."

 This is a special episode hosted by the lovely and amazing, Eden Garcia Thaler, originally aired on her podcast who has generously given us this audio recording of our conversation on her podcast Field Notes from the Spiritual Journey Podcast with Eden Garcia Thaler. Eden is a Shakti Ayurveda School graduate, a shadow alchemist, helping highly sensitive beings liberate their true selves, connect to their personal version of the divine, and manifest their desires by integrating their shadows and blocks. 

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~ What is "the Goddess?"

~ How can we relate to the goddess archetypes within us

~ How our ancestors personified nature through symbols and deity work

~ The importance of death work in Winter, the spirituality of Winter in the northern hemisphere, the loss of the light (physical and spiritual), and the birth of eros

~ Reviving ancient rituals in modern times

~ Learning to venerate even the parts of you that you find "intolerable"

~ Projection, division, and integrating the "good" and "bad" that exists within

~ About Eden: Eden Garcia Thaler is a shadow alchemist helping highly sensitive beings liberate their true selves, connect to their personal version of the Divine, and manifest their desires by integrating their shadows and blocks. She's also the host of Field Notes From the Spiritual Journey podcast where she explores topics like how to do shadow work, the anatomy of feedback loops, shares her personal manifestation stories and interviews experts in personal development and spirituality.

According to the Vedas (the spiritual root texts o According to the Vedas (the spiritual root texts of Ayurveda), your soul has four goals or desires, which the texts call the purusharthas, “that which is for the purpose of the soul.” The Ayurvedic tradition takes these four core human motivations and gives us permission to enjoy and pursue them, while not becoming overly attached to any of them. ⁠

One of the keys to good digestion in Ayurveda is k One of the keys to good digestion in Ayurveda is keeping things SIMPLE. Less complicated meals give our digestive fire a chance to rest and truly metabolize the fuel we’re feeding the fire. ⁠

Peas are light, astringent and slightly drying—aka they help balance kapha’s natural heaviness and tendency to hold onto all the things (mucus, water, emotional clutter... you name it). Plus, they're packed with protein and fiber without being overly dense.⁠
⁠
On top of that, soup is basically kapha’s best friend. It’s warm, light AND easy to digest. Broth and veggie-based soups are the perfect go-to option for spring dinners that aren’t too heavy! Enjoy! 🌿
