Welcome Eileen Laird, author of Healing Mindset. This episode, we target autoimmune disease and the role that the mind-body connection can play in reducing pain, increasing resilience, and living a more vital life.
There are over a hundred different autoimmune conditions — from rheumatoid arthritis to lupus to Grave’s disease to multiple sclerosis and more — one in ten people have an autoimmune condition worldwide. Stress makes the condition worse… fortunately, this also works in the other direction! In moments of overwhelm, we can learn to send an anti-inflammatory cascade back through the nervous system.
And that’s what we practice today! Eileen guides us in a soothing meditation of self-compassion, both working with pain and befriending the body.
In our discussion afterwards we explore:
* how to work with pain and find safe places in the body
* the relationship between sensitivity and autoimmune conditions
* how to notice early warning signals
* how Eileen supports herself via daily routines
* and much more…
Take the practice for a spin and tell us in the comments how it went!
Eileen, thank you for writing your book and for supporting so many people through your incredible podcast.
