Welcome to October’s LIVE Q+A Session!

This first session offered at an early time to accommodate our strong European membership was a very quiet one! I hope that this adjustment will be helpful in accommodating more of you into our these conversations!

We had just a couple of questions this month – about storing trauma in the body from the view of Ayurveda, about my Ayurvedic training, and also integrating family members into fall reset practices. If you’re interested in what a typical day is like on reset, and how I integrate my family and benefit from this transformative time while at home, watch the bonus video below! Without further ado!

 

01:36 – Over the summer, I had a fluke bike accident caused by a wind gust that resulted in 4 rib fractures, broken scapula/collarbone, and collapsed lung. Fortunately everything is healing well so far and I feel grateful to be working with a great PT. But I do wonder about the long-term implications of a fairly traumatic accident and how this gets stored in the body. In a case like mine where the injuries are more upper body, are there Ayurveda practices to support long-term healing and prevent storing this injury in the body? I’ve tried sports massage and I’m sure it’s helped a bit, but it also doesn’t feel transformative in the way that you described your kati basti treatment after your bike accident. 

Yes! I did have a bike accident! And YES – Ayurveda does recognize that traumas and emotions are stored in the body as physical ailments…called karmas. But, we don’t have to hang onto these elements of our histories; through physical therapies, we can remedy and clear these karmas from the body, heal and thrive.

 

11:06 – Could you share a little about your training with Kriplau (I think you had mentioned that you did some of your training with them at one point or another??)

I did study at Kripalu’s School of Ayurveda for the introductory phases of my Ayurvedic education, and I highly recommend these courses and programming to anyone interested in learning more about Ayurveda on a deeper level, and also anyone interested in practicing Ayurveda who is based in the United States.

 

16:28 – I’ve been wanting to participate in a reset for a while now, but have hesitated because I’ve lacked the confidence I could navigate this deeply nourishing practice for myself while also showing up for my family. Could you share some guidance on how to weave family into a guided Ayurvedic reset (are there parts of the reset that can easily be extended to family meals and practices?)

I love this question and it’s one I’ve been receiving a lot lately. I share a bit about ways we can concretely share our reset experiences with family members in the video above. After I closed the session, however, I went back and thought about ways to expound upon this response and recorded the video below – a little recap of what a day looks like on reset at home.
