Exploring Polyvagal Theory and Gemmotherapy

When I came across Stephen Porges’ Polyvagal Theory something, immediately clicked.  The lens Porges offers to view the autonomic nervous system and our habitual responses just made sense. I soon wrote my colleague Maegan Lemp asking if she knew of this theory and expressed my thought that this could be a total game-changer for the system for Restoring Immunity with Gemmotherapy.

A conversation or two later Maegan, and I embarked on this series. The connections between Polyvagal Theory and Gemmotherapy were happening at such speed that we chose to share our discoveries as they were happening. And the bonus of guest appearances from trauma specialist and teacher of Polyvagal Theory, Cameron Scott, makes it even more intriguing. Sure we could have waited until this was all neat and tidy but, that’s never been my style.  Come along with us and, we will all learn together.

Exploring the Polyvagal Lens: Our individualized responses to loss

November 17, 2020

The understanding of loss has greatly matured since Elizabeth Kubler-Ross’s pioneering work of the late 60’s.  Since then it is universally accepted that loss is not a linear process.   However now with the information of Polyvagal Theory,  the autonomic responses are worth reviewing.  The subject of loss could not be more timely as we have all navigated major and minor losses this past year. Loss has shown up in a variety of shapes and textures from the heartwrenching loss of loved ones or the simple loss of a treasured daily routine. In this candid conversation with co-hosts Maegan Lemp and Cameron Scott, we allow the story of the loss to drop and instead take a close look at the possible felt experiences.

In this organic series of conversations, Health educator and Gemmotherapy expert Lauren Hubele, Japanese Acupuncturist Maegan Lemp and Passionate Polyvagalist Cameron Scott explore the use of the Polyvagal Theory and Gemmotherapy extracts to restore a sense of safety and connection. The polyvagal theory helps us see and understand emotional patterns enough to interrupt them and change how we habitually react.

Exploring Polyvagal Theory: Are you disconnecting?

November 4, 2020

How do you know if your autonomic nervous system has dropped into the dorsal state? A fundamental question for today, as the challenges faced personally and as a community, may leave you emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed.

The biggest problem with the dorsal vagal state is that the access to the very resources that can help is lost. Befriending this state and having tools within an arm’s reach is what today’s conversation is all about. So grab some tea, and of course, a furry friend if you have one, and settle in for some healthy co-regulation. You won’t want to miss these tips and tools for navigating your way back to a ventral state of connection.
