The Embody Podcast Self-love & Healing

The effects of falls and accidents or other impacts on the physical body can accumulate over time if there was something that the body wanted to do that it didn’t get to.Especially when it comes to the need to protect yourself where you didn’t get to, the body holds the impulse of that survival energy in its viscera, muscles, and joints.I’ve seen where accidents from years ago can still have an effect on the body, energy, and emotional state now. Sometimes the body, even if the mind knows differently, doesn’t register that you ARE safe and ok.In this Episode: Recognize the symptoms of falls and accidents, how accidents and falls can bring up other trauma including relational, attachment, and sexual, and tips to bring your body back into safety and renegotiate these traumas. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

This episode is a rerun of a previous episode on The Embody Podcast while I am on a short restorative hiatus.When you’re depressed, paralyzed, shut down, or dissociated — knowing what is happening can support healing and a compassionate look at the body and how it’s trying to protect us and adapt. This episode is a practical and scientifically-based discussion about understanding the basics of the nervous system in overwhelm or trauma. By noticing the signs, you can support your body in feeling more safety, resilience, and capacity with very basic tools.We are so used to going in the hard stuff of our lives and overriding and pushing beyond what our bodies need. This can create an auto override and autopilot — are we really here in our hearts and bodies?In this episode, I share many signs of nervous system overwhelm, 12 things to do to support and heal trauma, a bit of Polyvagal Theory and Somatic Experiencing, and the way our nervous systems can be affected in relationships. The more I have understood the ne

The Body reflects any habitual patterns in your life — shake up the body’s movement and gestures to create something new in your life! The body needs to integrate the new territory and energy to full inhabit what’s unfamiliar.Whether it is more abundance, the ability to receive love, a shift towards a new way of being, etc… this can support that in an embodied way. What’s the opposite movement of the gesture that comes with your typical story, your problem, or what you always experience?This process supports you to develop a pathway between what you are used to and the new road where the body starts to know it organically, fluidly, and flexibly.With all the dismantling and systemic change going on, change the system within to give everything you are doing more weight and life energy.The Body reflects any habitual patterns in your life — shake up the body’s movement and gestures to create something new in your life!

Inner freedom supports freedom for ALL.In this episode: a Conversation about the Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper video, the way my body expressed reactions and perceptions towards Black people, and an experiential here for you to open your own body-based exploration around people who are different from you.It is your body that holds reactions and unconscious sentiments towards others that contribute to racism.No matter who you are, black, brown, white, yellow, and every person in between — going deeper means looking at your body’s reactions. Along with any actions that your heart feels called to, if you want freedom for those you love and care about — for Black people, for all people — hold space for what is held in your own body and digest it.If you don’t involve your own body in healing racism or in anti-racism, or in supporting BLM or another race movement, it has a risk to be only be performative, not go deep enough, or to perpetuate the underlying dynamics.This experiential is an invitation to use system

I stand with Black people and see you. I stand with all the people who desire that Black people have the right to live and breathe.Witnessing the protests from Mexico that are happening as a result of systemic violence on Black folks (re-ignited by George Floyd and many that have died at the hands of the police) has inspired me to talk vulnerably and candidly about some experiences where I noticed my own racism coming to the surface — fears that have been held through my ancestry.I speak to how I can have the best of intentions, and still find something that its racist — and what I did about it.Racism is held in the body.No matter how well intentioned it is to say, “I believe in equality,” — there are likely some unconscious ways that your body experiences something else, likely rooting in trauma — a wound of your own, your ancestry’s, your culture’s, or your past lives/dimensional experiences’.This is also an invitation, whoever you are and for all that are interested, to have some gentleness in being with w

When the structures of your previous ways of being dismantle and crumble — what do you calibrate to?Pleasure!

Have you felt like you don’t belong here?Some intense feelings of grief and existential aloneness led me to finding more of myself: my multidimensional being and a family in the star system. I have mentioned it before, but this time, it demanded a greater attention and acceptance. This time, I felt a huge loss of having left my spiritual family somewhere out there.If this story interests you or you’re finding yourself on this journey, tune in to this unraveling of an extension of my being, another place I found belonging, resource, and freedom, how my judgments had blocked my intuition, knowing, and peace in my body.A continuation of the Deep Mystery of Life: Embracing What Logic Cannot Explain Part 1 and Part 2. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode
