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.

  • Incompatible foods in Ayurveda

    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

    1 March 2022 · 5 min

    The first episode. The heart as the seat of love and compassion, and what listening to it asks of you.

Where to listen

The same five episodes, wherever you already listen.

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.
