-
- Self-Improvement
In ancient times, a warrior’s best chance at survival was a strong and healthy nervous system. Why? Because their brains, bellies, and bodies needed to work flawlessly in order to fulfill their role of protecting society from threats to peace. To do this, they relied heavily on self-care practices that strengthened their nervous systems and set them up to effectively process and digest physical and emotional threats.
Rooted in the tradition of ancient warriors in India, Marma and Ayurveda have been passed down through lineages for thousands of years and continue to be practiced today because of the profound impact they have on the health of our nervous systems, digestion and ultimately our longevity.
In today’s episode, Jessica interviews Katie Grossman, an Ayurveda and Marma specialist, about her own chronic health issues and how they led her to pursue a career in the healing arts. In the interview, they discuss:
Ayurveda as the science of longevity
How the ancient warrior tradition of Marma is applied in the modern world to help people transmute pain into power
Self-care practices to support nervous system regulation and digestion
The importance of understanding and connecting to your own ancestral lineage, including family recipes, remedies, traditions and stories
How detoxifying the nervous system helps us to come back to the truth of who we are
Katie also shares several practices that you can do at home to support digestion and nervous system regulation, including:
Self-directed Marma on the Solarplexus pressure point
Self-directed Marma on the Spleen pressure point
Belly massage
See the ‘Resources’ section below for links to how-to guides for each of these practices.
