Tending the Bones: Ancestral Connection to Heal Transgenerational Sexual Trauma with Dr. Pavini Moray

In this episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I welcome back Dr. Pavini Moray, a somatic coach and author with over 30 years of experience. 

Dr. Moray introduces their new book, 'Tending the Bones: Reclaiming Pleasure After Transgenerational Sexual Trauma,' which guides readers through a 13-month somatic journey involving ancestral rituals and embodiment practices. 

The discussion highlights the significance of building relationships with well ancestors for healing, the transformative and connecting power of ritual, and the critical role of understanding and reclaiming pleasure. 

Dr. Moray explains how these practices are rooted in global traditions and how they address not just personal, but collective trauma. 

They also share insights about their research process, including learning from various ancestral healing technologies and spiritual traditions. 

Practical aspects of creating individualized, community-based healing are explored, offering listeners a nuanced understanding of both the personal and systemic impacts of sexual trauma and the pathways to recovery.
