Ep. 83 A Moment with Mary Magdalene

I love working with archetypes and one of my favorites is that of Mary Magdalene. She represents the feminine, worldly, spiritual, kind, everyday wife, mother and partner. She’s a powerful symbol of the Divine Feminine

In this episode you’ll hear:

~The archetype of Mary Magdalene in early Christian Mysticism

~Working with Prana, the feminine face of God

~A practice for being the goodness onto the world from Joan Norton

The holidays are a time for celebration and joy, b The holidays are a time for celebration and joy, but it’s easy for digestion and energy to become off-kilter with stress, over-indulgence or overwhelm. Ayurveda offers us simple ways to stay grounded AND nourished during times like these:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Honor your agni. Choose warm, lightly spiced and wet foods that support digestion and keep your agni kindled.⁠
⁠
2️⃣ Digestion-honoring habits. Sip ginger tea, stop eating at the first burp and avoid cold drinks to help your body assimilate nutrients and digest heavy foods with more ease.⁠
⁠
3️⃣ Bring in the gratitude (like, REAL gratitude - get those thankful vibes flowing!) When we eat from a space of love, connection and genuine thankfulness, Ayurveda teaches that digestion improves naturally. In other words, we are not just what we eat, but HOW we eat. ⁠
⁠
🍎 Want my Ayurveda-inspired and digestion-friendly Butternut Squash and Roasted Apple soup recipe to bring to your next holiday gathering? Comment BUTTERNUT below. 🌿⁠

P.S. These tips are for my ladies in the Northern Hemisphere this time of year. Southern Hemisphere gals will want to follow summer Ayurvedic recommendations. 😉

POV: You stop waging war against the parts of you POV: You stop waging war against the parts of you that you’ve been fighting against and suddenly… everything syncs up.

The need to endlessly “fix” dissipates. 

(And you end up feeling a lot more WHOLE as a result.)

This is where true healing begins.

Nothing inside you is wrong. 

Nothing needs to be kicked out. 

Just welcomed back in. 

Send to a friend who needs a reminder that the thing they’re struggling with most within themselves…is the exact thing that needs MORE love, forgiveness and compassion. 💗
Regulating your nervous system isn’t about feeli Regulating your nervous system isn’t about feeling calm 24/7.⁠
⁠
It’s about giving your nervous system accurate information about what’s happening right now, so it can respond appropriately instead of reacting from old, undigested experiences.⁠
⁠
We can support that process with the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, through what we eat, how we move, how we breathe and how we live out our daily rhythms.⁠
⁠
Vata is deeply tied to the nervous system And the biggest secret to grounding Vata? → We slow things down. ⁠
⁠
In our culture, peak Vata season lands right in the middle of the holiday season, exactly when we all have the most to do. So this is THE most important time to ground + regulate.⁠
⁠
🌬️ Comment SOMATIC to get my FREE class, Healing the Nervous System with Somatic Ayurveda to learn how to deeply ground and regulate in winter.
We’ve been taught to chase healing like an endle We’ve been taught to chase healing like an endless laundry list of ways to “fix” ourselves. 

But nervous system regulation doesn’t come from doing more…it comes from being with what’s here.

If you’ve been feeling amped, anxious or like your nervous system’s running on fumes, I FEEL YOU. 

And you’re not alone. 

But the truth is: your body was never meant to live in fight-or-flight all the time. 

What is more, have you ever noticed that you feel GUILTY about feeling out of whack? 

It’s like a double whammy to the soul (and the nervous system). 

Here’s what I want us all to remember: your nervous system isn’t broken.

It’s just overwhelmed. Overcooked. Overlooked. I know you, because I AM you. 

Here are a few new ways I’ve been helping myself calm down from the inside out:

1️⃣ 🌬 Low-belly breath and minerals in my water before coffee. Two minutes. Hands on your womb. Feel the exhale lengthen. Drink water BEFORE caffeine in the AM. 

2️⃣ 🌿 Warm and wet heals everything. Warm water, warm foods, warm embraces and warm words to yourself.

3️⃣ 💃 Micro-movement = macro-shift. Roll your shoulders. Circle your hips. Shake for 60 seconds. 

4️⃣ 🕯 Create a micro-altar. Light a candle. Put a sticky note on it. Whatever it takes to find moments of intention.

5️⃣ 💗 Replace self-fixing with LOVING the ever loving heck out of this incarnation. You don’t need another plan. You need presence and love dropping down into your flesh like HONEY. 

With love,
Katie
