Nervous System Regulation and Devotion To Self

Bhakti is the practice of loving devotion designed to bring you closer to the divine. Spirituality is the connection to something larger than yourself, something outside of yourself, and doesn’t necessarily have to do with religion or divinity. What do these two things have in common? Because when you put them together with tools for nervous system regulation like yoga and mindfulness, you can cultivate a devotion to the parts of yourself that are worthy of support, of care, and of nurturing, and those parts which are connected to the wider global community of humanity and the universe itself. In this episode I examine the idea that spirituality is completely divorced from meditation and mindfulness as they’re often used today, and talk about how bhakti can help us create radical acceptance and radical self-love with the belief that we are worthy of care. I also discuss what nervous system regulation means to me, and how all of this is combined. Want to learn more about this show?
