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.

Ep. 85 Intuition as a Life Guide with Dr. Siva Mohan

I’m joined in this juicy, real-talk episode by Dr. Siva Mohan. Siva began her path to healing in neuroscience, and this sparked her interest in the mind-body connection. In medical school she focused her studies on the extension of the mind-body relationship: the effects of community, development, and culture on health behavior. Siva brings a unique and integrative perspective to the Ayurvedic tradition. She teaches in Level 1 and Level 2 of our Ayurvedic training program.

In this episode you’ll hear:

~The Western medicine and Ayurveda connection

~Integration of Ayurveda in modern times

~Thoughts on spiritual bypassing

~Why finding hope is difficult during times of trauma

~The primal brain’s innate wisdom and intuition

~How to access your inner voice and emotional body

~Drawing boundaries in relationships

~Trust-falling into the emotional body as a life guide

~Finding alignment to usher in high-vibrational experiences

~Daily practices to commit to one’s own heart

~ Find Siva online: ayurvedabysiva.com

This is actually one of our central-most values that makes our feminine-form school different:

We don’t do dogma. No one-size-fits-all food lists. We teach you how to listen to your own body’s wisdom.

Ayurveda doesn’t belong in dusty books. It belongs in your life. That’s what we teach. And that’s why our program centers around YOU connecting back to YOUR own inner wisdom.
