Summary
Today, we have a conversation with Prema Gaia, a somatic teacher and meditation guide. We discuss nervous system regulation and spiritual awakening. Prema shares her journey from modeling to finding spiritual depth and self-empowerment, opening up about her struggles with trauma and addiction and how she found peace through spirituality and nervous system balance.
Prema talks about key moments in her spiritual awakening, like a life-changing book and walking 350 miles with just the clothes on her back. We also cover the temptation of external validation, the need for authenticity, and how mentors and plant medicine helped her transform.
For highly sensitive people, Prema offers practical tips for managing overstimulation and improving vagal tone. Whether you're interested in the vagus nerve reset, breathing exercises, or self-soothing techniques, this episode has tools to help you find peace in a chaotic world.
In this episode, you will hear:
- Prema's personal journey from trauma and addiction to spiritual awakening and self-empowerment.
