How does trauma manifest itself in the body? That’s a question for anyone with a body—anyone whose stomach might drop at a painful reminder, whose back might ache around the time of a bad anniversary. It’s also the question that drives the work of Amy Lee Flowers, a trauma-informed Kripalu Yoga and Mindfulness educator.
This week, Rabbi Iggy sits down with Amy to discuss the relationship between our physical existence and our psychological and emotional trauma. Their wide-ranging conversation is full of wisdom for anyone attempting to manage their physical ailments. By finding techniques to check-in with our bodies, like using mindfulness as a recovery tool, we can achieve a more grounded recovery.
