Ep. 195 Beyond the Ayurveda Checklist with Jackie DeConti

This is a picture of Katie Silcox and Jackie DeConti. It links to an episode of the Spirit Sessions podcast called, "Beyond the Ayurveda Checklist with Jackie DeConti

In this special episode, the tables have turned! Katie is interviewed by Ayurvedic Health Coach and Shakti School alum, Jackie DeConti, about her unique approach to healing and Ayurveda. Many of us come to Ayurveda to “fix” ourselves, however, the point of Ayurveda is not to “fix” because you’re not actually broken! This episode is a beautiful reminder of your innate wholeness and worthiness. Tune in for a discussion about how to go beyond the Ayurveda checklist, avoid common pitfalls of self-development, access your inner wisdom and so much more!

Are you ready to take a more holistic approach to your health and wellness? We invite you to book a call with Jackie to see if our year-long Ayurveda School is right for you! You can book your call here.

We created Level 2 quite honestly for two simple r We created Level 2 quite honestly for two simple reasons:⁠
⁠
1. Something magical occurred in Level 1 and our students didn't want it to be over ⁠
2. Neither did we⁠
⁠
Level 2 is the outcome of knowing, deep in our hearts, that our journey together was only the beginning. This upcoming year together is so much more than just learning more Ayurveda  theory. It is about deepening our relationship to ourselves and one another. ⁠
⁠
And If there is one core goal that we have at the Shakti School - it is to provide a place where women can have the space, time and tools to be able to contact their own inner healer. ⁠
⁠
This deepening of our first year together was also created to hone in with a more intimate group of women who truly wanted to dedicate themselves to another year of deep, inner and outer study. ⁠
⁠
Simply stated, Level 2 students are the ones who REALLY get it. They want to expand upon the most important concepts in feminine form Ayurveda both intellectually and through their embodied lives. This includes honing in on the deeper purpose and meaning of why we practice and study. ⁠
⁠
Think about it like this - there was probably at least one big idea that you came across in Level 1 that had the potential to be MASSIVE -  a mind blowing, heart shattering concept that was presented. But, like all of us, sometimes we can't hear the big idea. ⁠
⁠
We skip over it. ⁠
We run from it because it asks us to reorganize our reality.⁠
We aren't ready.⁠
We are subconsciously afraid of what it may ask of us.⁠
⁠
Or maybe the dog just barked and you didn't hear it! ⁠
⁠
And so we don’t integrate it. It doesn’t penetrate us. It can’t change us. ⁠
⁠
I know this has been true for me in every step along my journey. I need repetition. ⁠
⁠
And so, Level 2 is about giving you the space to review some of those big ideas that may change your life forever - offering you more space and time to be able to hold it and to let it sink in. Like the waves of the ocean onto a coral reef.⁠
⁠
See you in THREE DAYS with some BIG ideas,⁠
⁠
Katie + Team Shakti
Want my Ayurveda-inspired springtime ice cream rec Want my Ayurveda-inspired springtime ice cream recipe? It’s fruit-only sugar. A powerful protein and healthy-fat punch. As well as chock full of mind-tonic herbs that will keep you sharp all day. ⁠
⁠
The secret ingredient is that it replaces the dairy of ice cream, which is super heavy and mucus producing with a wonderful Kapha-reducing replacement. Cauliflower! And I don’t even like cauliflower. 😉⁠
⁠
Comment “SPRING ICE CREAM” below for the recipe! 🍨✨
Oh, you’re wondering why your kapha friend can’t go out tonight? She’s busy… watching her plants grow, rearranging her garden statues and whipping up an herbal tonic or two. 

Kapha types are the builders and tenders of life, the ones who create beauty, stability and a little bit of magic in the spaces they call home. Once they’re in their rhythm… they’re probably not leaving. 🌿🌎🌊

Level 1 Graduates—don’t forget that Level 2 begins this coming Tuesday, and we’re still welcoming our last-minute ladies in! If you have any questions at all, reach out to us. We are here to support you. 🌺

Nature gives us herbs in spring to help us counter Nature gives us herbs in spring to help us counteract the heaviness and dampness that does build up, even if you followed a perfect early winter Ayurveda routine! When we follow the guidance of what Mama Nature is offering us locally and seasonally, we get into alignment with what our bodies systems really need this time of year. ⁠
