Happy Imbolc!  This is the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox.  It is also the beginning of Kapha season in Ayurvedic thought.  

In this episode, I briefly share my observations on this seasonal shift and introduce the concept of the 'somatic pause,' a simple, regular practice focusing on tuning into the body's needs and signals. 

This practice is designed to help regulate the nervous system by skimming the overflow of daily stress and fostering a deeper connection with one's body. 

The Somatic Pause is an aspect of a free, accessible workbook I have created for conducting a nervous system reset, emphasizing the importance of creating intentional space for self-care and resilience. 


In this episode:

  • Personal Reflections on Seasonal Changes
  • Introducing the Somatic Pause
  • How to Practice the Somatic Pause
