Look at this.
This beautiful complex to me awe-inspiring system that we generally only talk about in terms of health + emotional benefits.
Yes. Having a resilient nervous system is very important for navigating those reactionary/frozen patterns + for our long term health, contentedness + ability to ride the waves.
But really, it goes deeper than all of that but it doesn’t package so well on the gram.
Especially in Ireland where anything viewed as different, or affiliated with religion/spirituality (not the same thing) is quickly shamed & shut down.
However.
Nervous system health IS soul health.
Why?
A nervous system that YOU are in tune with, that YOU understand, that YOU look after when you inevitably go off balance, has trust.
Trust with yourself.
And with trust, comes the messy beauty of who you are.
That’s your soul & it won’t set you wrong.
Eastern spiritual practices including yoga asana, meditation, chanting, devotion + community influence your nervous system so you can build that trust to lean into your soul.
I hesitate a lot to mention this on social media because it puts people off.
But to be as much of an ethical practitioner as I can be with my present awareness and amongst all this wellness garb (guilty of this in the past) it doesn’t feel right not to share what a yoga practice actually is, and what those who practice know it to be.
And I’m tired of all the populist rubbish on wellness that is created by marketers, but which we have to admit is reflected in stats on what is currently on people’s minds.
But maybe that’s because we don’t talk about the other stuff?
So.
If you want to build trust in yourself through your body and let your soul speak to you, come and practice.
It will change how your relate to yourself, others, and the environment that sustains you.
It will also positively impact your l!b!do too 👀 another essential aspect of our wellbeing we’re nervous to talk about.
