In this grounding and insightful episode of Onion Soup, host Dexter sits down with Kerry Blaser, a shaman and scholar of Asian religions, to explore what it truly means to restore balance in the nervous system by integrating masculine and feminine energiesânot as concepts, but as lived, embodied experience. Kerry shares her personal journey of healing trauma through somatic awareness, chakra meditation, and intuitive guidance, revealing how chronic stress and emotional overwhelm often stem from an internal imbalance between action and receptivity, control and surrender. Rather than pushing for healing, she emphasizes the importance of listening to the bodyâs signals and allowing regulation to unfold naturally.
