Ayurveda, Healing and Emotions — the Aithein podcast
An Aithein Healing podcast by Gagori Mitra.
Listen
Gagori talks about Ayurveda, about healing, and about the emotional side of the work — the part that is hardest to put in a syllabus. Five episodes, recorded in the spring of 2022, between five and ten minutes each.
The episodes
Marma Points and Emotions
16 April 2022 · 5 min
Why the marma points are described as hidden, and what that has to do with what a person is holding.

31 March 2022 · 7 min
Which combinations create ama, and the early signs the body gives before anything else shows.
Habitual state of forgetfulness
17 March 2022 · 9 min
Habits can be unlearned. The body and mind as a feedback loop, and what happens when an event keeps repeating.
Disease Process, According to Ayurveda
8 March 2022 · 10 min
Disease as a process rather than an event — how long it runs before it is named.
Listen to your heart

The part that is hardest to put in a syllabus
A course can teach where the marma points are and how much pressure a body will take. What it cannot teach in a lesson is what to do when somebody starts crying on your table, which happens more often than new therapists expect.
That is most of what this podcast is about.
