Understanding how to heal our bodies from trauma

The word trauma suggests a big incident: a car accident, a complicated surgery, a death, a broken marriage, physical abuse or some such other event.
However, trauma is now recognised as any incident that has impacted one’s life in a negative way.
Trauma is often not released, and when not addressed gets stored in different parts of our bodies, often causing illness, pain and disease.
Each of us has incidents in which we have been traumatised – most of which started in our early childhood, usually between the ages of 0 and 8 years.
Without us even realising, that trauma is then stored in the cells of our bodies and causes ‘triggers’ in us which can sometimes cause unexpected reactions in our daily lives.

So, how do we address these triggers to avoid adverse reactions?
We need to get to the root of where it all started … through methods such as body regulation, inner child healing, root cause therapy and possibly a little love and being in a safe space.
To experience optimal physical and emotional well being, we need to start a release process.

If you’d like to learn how to address the issues that are stored in your body, please contact me for an informative discussion on how we will work to free your body and mind from the inbuilt traumas and reshape your thinking, relationships and the quality of your life today.

Please reach out to me if you are ready for this change in your life

SLEEP & DOSHAS

Understanding your dosha can provide valuable insights into getting the quality and quantity of sleep you need in order to shine!

Vata: Vata sleep is often light and highly variable owing to the movement and changeability of vata energy in the mind (racing thoughts) and body (heightened sensitivity). As a result, vatas tend to average between 4 to 7 hours of sleep per night.

Pitta: Pitta sleep is moderate, meaning most pittas sleep pretty well. If they wake up during the night, they'll most often have no problems getting back to sleep. Your average pitta gets somewhere between 5 to 8 hours of sleep per night.

Kapha: Kapha is the king of sleep. They will sleep deeply, undisturbed, and for longer periods than the other two doshas. Most kaphas are likely to do over 8 hours of sleep each night if you let ‘em!

LET THE WORK PAUSE AND RELAX DURING MENOPAUSE

I believe this phase is one to cherish in itself for every woman as it signifies the nourishment and nurturing for us after the enriching menstrual journey we go through. To be able to compress the effects of menopause the key is to give our body that attention and care that it requires in this phase. Going in conflict with the nature of our body, not being able to listen to the needs of our body would only cause counter effects. In all it’s essence every phase of a woman’s body is unique, we must embrace the beauty of it without tampering with the timeline or needs of that phase. Indulgence of any artificial pills, unnatural substances can lead to longterm complications during menopause.

A lot of woman in today’s time are juggling with a block of stress, anxiety that in some way cripples in with the way their body and health is. This also causes early menopause for a lot of women. The boundary line to be drawn here is to know when to take a seat back and let your uterus breath and exhale an air of happiness and good health. Let your emotions have a positive impact on your menopause. Good-food, Generous rest, Glowing happy face and Giving love to your body are the 4G’s to sail through your menopause phase. Breakthrough all the stigma’s and myths that overshadow the voice of your body and it’s needs. 💫

Some like it hot, some don’t.
Spicy (aka pungent) foods can be very beneficial for some and aggravating for others!

A little spice in food and drink can bring enthusiasm, vitality, clarity, and strength. It is said to lead to inquiry, insight, and a boost in concentration, helping the mind focus and increase determination. These qualities are especially beneficial for both vata and kapha dominant people. Since these qualities are inherent in the fire type of pitta dosha, they can actually lead to more intensity, irritability, competitiveness, and anger. That doesn’t mean fire types can’t enjoy and even benefit from a little pungent taste now and then, but they should practice awareness of their overall health and moderation, as always,or at least have antidotes handy.

Let me know if any Pittas want to know the antidotes for eating spicy foods. 🌶

Paving the way for your last period, women witness mood swings, discomfort, too much heat in the body. Streamlining the effects of menopause, treatments can be tailor made for each individual based on the symptoms they are facing. Some may experience high levels of irritation and heat in the body. A treatment can be navigated around these symptoms with a blend of dietary guidelines, herbal supplements, yoga and detox programmes.

My imagination automatically leans back into the days when my grandmother oiled my hair with a massage as soon as I think about oiling! Oiling the hair has been a critical part of my childhood, however my grandmother always believed in oiling in moderation. I have shaped a new outlook towards oiling with certain criteria that I feel are necessary when keeping the good quality of hair in mind.

The nature of oil is very heavy and unctuous. Oil overweighs the scalp making it heavier for the scalp to carry. When the scalp isn’t nicely nourished the roots tend to be weaker and too much oiling in the phase cause lead to more hair-fall. The hair tend to slip out of the shaft due to excessive lubrication from the oil.

I’ve always been of the thought that oiling is good for the hair growth but we often overshadow the idea of overdoing it. Our hair maybe damp and dry due lack of sleep, nourishment and stress. Over application of any chemicals, oils, heat for styling may further drop the quality of the hair.
It’s ideal to first strength the scalp. 💆‍♀️💆🏻‍♂️

As a mother myself I would want the best for my kids and out of that same experience here’s a list of things i’ve crafted that have been a blessing for my kids especially during times like flu and cold.

Kickstart you weekend but adding in a pinch of alternations to your diet. Throw in that extra portion of veggies and protein in your diet. A protein rich diet is all you need to burn the fat in the right way. Squeezing in that one cheat meal can be excuses as long as you don't turn that meal into your regular diet plan. The one plate rule makes burning the weight cool. Lastly, make wiser choices when it comes to binging on snack, with more healthier alternatives. Think clean eat clean this weekend. 🥗🥙

KEEPING YOUR BRAIN YOUNG WITH MUSIC If you want to firm up your body, head to the gym. If you want to exercise your brain, listen to music! It provides a total brain workout! Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, and memory! Tell me that one song that gets your feet moving and your brain dancing! But on a total side note: when I was in school, I had a friend who used to always sing while spelling words, meaning she would actually make a song out of the alphabets to remember the spelling. I always wondered why. Music helps because it provides a rhythm and rhyme and sometimes alliteration which helps to unlock that information with cues. #music #magicofmusic #songs #selfcare #freshness #massage #headmassage #facemassage #natural #ayurveda #yoga #fruits #vegetables #ayurvedalifestyle #health #ayurvedalife #ayurvedic #healthylifestyle #ayurvedaeveryday #ayurvedicmedicine #wellness #lagos #natural #meditation #ayurvedafood #organic #fitness #healthyfood #nigeria #love #healing #medicine #holistichealing #healthy
