Ever wondered how the simple acts of breathing, touching, and listening can influence your mental health? In today’s episode, we explore the profound role of sound, touch, and breath in balancing Vata energy through the lens of Ayurveda. These subtle yet powerful elements shape how we feel, think, and respond emotionally.


Though often overlooked in our fast-paced lives, these gentle tools have the power to regulate the nervous system in deeply transformative ways. When used consciously, they become anchors, bringing calm, clarity, and balance from within.


Through this conversation, we explore the deep connection between these sensory experiences and their impact on our nervous system, emotional health, and overall well-being.

Tune In!


Topics Covered:

Connection of Vata & Nervous System

Intention Behind Actions

Power of Right Tone & Words

BALANCE THE MIGHTY VATA - ONLINE COURSE NOW AVAILABLE


What makes Ayurveda unique in its treatment approach is its practical wisdom on the concept of Vata. Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery.


Recently I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.
