A rocking Friday afternoon is making herbal tea and gelatinous soup these days ...
a. Tea is individual to me - but for those wondering: Chamomile, fenugreek, ginger..
b. Soup is a big beef bone to be simmered down for gelatin, and then tomorrow a simple soup with carrots, celery, leek, and potato for Saturday.
c. In the distance is where I sit and record all my videos and teach all my classes.
A little extra on my reason for sharing a little bit of this ....
Food and nourishment would fall into the FIRST STAGE of neuroplastic healing sequencing^ that I teach about in my work, but I don't spend a lot of time teaching this stuff anymore, but in time, I might.
Afterall, there are so many great experts and coaches and master 'witches' out there who are teaching amazing ways to harmonize and heal your body at the food and gut levels..so, I'm still focused on all things somatic and healing the survival nervous system stresses we've all been subject to for centuries. These nervous system teachings and practical know-how's are my mission right now, so I'm staying focused there for now.
EARLY IRENE HISTORY:
Nutrition was one of my first academic pursuits, after sports science.Then, I got injured and the focus shifted to healing my movement, and the rest is history (again, all this history, you can find on my 'about me' page - linked on my bio).
BUT HERE IS THE THING:
When we are stuck in survival stress, it is VERY tough to read the signals for what our body wants, food-wise, and if we aren't attuned to what our BIOLOGICAL needs, we can get trapped into diet dogma, which is something I've been watching - often with utter awe - since my career in the health and healing spaces began in the mid-90s.
FIRST THINGS FIRST:
Learn about your nervous system and the way to sequence your nervous system healing.
