Nourishing Your Nervous System for the New Year with Rachael Cohen

The Plant Spirit Podcast with Sara Artemisia

#68 - Join us for a wonderful conversation with Nature based Spiritual Coach & Author Rachael Cohen on plant allies to support winter wellness and balance in the nervous system during the holidays and new year.
In this episode, Rachael shares wisdom on the connection between plants and supporting a shift from the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to the parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) responses of the nervous system. She offers key insights on the importance of allowing ourselves to rest during the natural dormancy of winter.
Rachael also shares plant wisdom on forest bathing and the benefits of working with seasonal herbal allies through the holidays and darker times of winter such as:

• Cinnamon: Brings warming, grounding energy and abundance
• Rosemary: Supports boundaries, memory, and ancestral connection
• Lavender: Facilitates deep rest and space for storytelling
• Citrus: Supports connecting to the brightness of the returning light

She first founded Infinite Succulent, specializing in plant art connections, and then Our Infinite Nature, for facilitating and growing spiritual connections with Nature.
