The Embody Podcast Self-love & Healing

This episode is a rerun of a previous episode on The Embody Podcast while I am on a short restorative hiatus.This episode is about how to sort out your inner chatter and reactive patterns with Parts Work. If you’ve seen the movie Inside Out, you’ve gotten a simplified taste of how your inner world may look. With many parts of us talking and acting at different times, it’s helpful to know their motives, fears, desires, agendas, purpose, and function in your inner dynamic.Explore and embrace the parts of yourself so you can feel clarity and deeper awareness, heal the wounded or diminished parts, know what part of yourself is acting in various situations, and lead from your Self - from aligned intention. The idea that we have everything within us to heal can be easily accessed with Voice Dialogue as we open up inner gifts, wisdom, and strengths while healing wounds within.Enjoy guided healing experiences that will walk you through dialoguing with and embodying the parts of yourself. Links, Article, and Resources

Do you wish to reside in deep harmony and ease with yourself — The place of fertile ground for creative action, contentment, and self-love?Where do you exploit or override your body’s or inner messages — what is the price you pay?Do you push and pressure yourself to exhaustion or drain?In this guided experience, we will restore gentleness and respect to the body and align to pleasure as an inner compass. We work with self-forgiveness for judgments on yourself — ways you’ve exploited yourself, ways you put too much pressure, feeling not enough, and overriding your body’s needs and desires. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

Navigate your cravings and addictions to loosen up their intensity and bring healing in this somatic experiential. In this time of Covid19, there are many things we cannot have or do. We may be stripped to see ourselves bare in some ways.With cravings and addictions, we have a keyhole into knowing what it is that lives under the surface that drives these actions and ways of coping. It is also the opening for more empowerment and self-love.Food addictions and cravings, substances, activities, connections, and relationships — depending on how and from which place of ourselves we reach for these may be a dependency or a way to protect ourselves from discomfort.Note: There’s nothing wrong with how you have adapted as your addictions may have their own wisdom, though you may want to find greater freedom and depth of self-knowing. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

What does it mean to be open, transparent, and honest? When it means discovering you are polyamorous, there may be challenges and surprises that come. Dr. Terri Fernandez talks about the journey in discovering she is polyamorous at heart while being compassionate in a monogamous marriage.

In this guided experiential, develop your relationship to your inner knowing and intuition — strengthen the muscles of your heart, inner attunement, and body wisdom. I lead you through a Blind Constellation of tuning into three pieces of your life so that you can clarify and fortify your relationship with your many inner messaging systems.It’s so essential to follow what is true to you — and it feels increasingly important in times of uncertainty and unknown. It is vital to loving yourself to do what’s for you to do, and not what you feel you “should” or was part of a past plan. Alignment in the present requires trust in your body’s response system as well as understand where your capacity is in terms of what parts of this response system is disconnected or has static (trauma, unconscious or unintegrated aspects of yourself). Also, a brief exploration about fears and resistances to inner trust.**Sponsored by: Special Offer: Ayurveda Living in QuarantineI have a special invitation and discount for you if you’r

How much capacity do you have to be honest about who you are today on your journey? Instead of covering up parts of yourself or polishing them to perfection or false prettiness — to move through your life honestly and to see others in their moment to moment existence, experience, and reactions as well?I’ve often struggled with sharing myself in an honest way. Sometimes that’s my feelings or opinions, and sometimes that’s just fear of certain parts of me being exposed.Listen in on how I feel called to be more directly and clearly myself and all the fears that come up with it.

“Everything Inside of You Has a Right to Be There” ~ Liz LaForceLiz transmits a purity in her energy that brings me so much ease! In this episode, she talks about how to close the gap between your knowing and the here and now, the process to experiencing yourself and the Process to Self, and playfulness.

Reveal the corners and folds of your soul, what wants to be heard from inside, the wisdom and connection that brings you more fully into YOU. I feel awakened and more vibrantly in my body through a recent Proprioceptive Writing Retreat and I wanted to share this helpful tool with all of you.Proprioceptive Writing is a process of inner listening, observing and writing down what you hear, as well as asking one essential question with words that have more vibrancy to you. The words we use carry this knowledge: we are moving and emitting information constantly. The unconscious experience living in our bones and cells has a space to come forward, bringing a new dimension to shadow work, knowing yourself, and body awareness.With this process, you can reveal truths to yourself, excavate wisdom that is already living within you, and allow unconscious aspects to come forward into consciousness and healing.Also in this episode are updates about my travel in Mexico, the sounds — complete with some beautiful soundscapes

Get clear with your relationships! Cleanse, reset, end, restore, honor, thank, and give each relationship its place. When we speak truth about a relationship as it was or is, it has a chance to be at peace and unburdened by what’s unintegrated or unsaid. The relationship’s meaning can be known more fully, even if we only acknowledge it within our own imagination and body.This episode and the following experiential is for current relationships both pleasant and conflictual, past meaningful relationships of all kinds, and especially that person you just can’t get out of your mind or psyche.Cutting someone out of your life may not give you everything you need to integrate and move forward — how you relate to what they meant to you and all the unconscious associations that are underlaid within this complex system of experience and body memory that is our existence is what lives on — unless the truth is acknowledged.I also share a brief update about my travels to Mexico and a recent new tool that has been very pow

Ever wish you could sleep for days, weeks, or years even? That you’re so tired that you need a century to feel replenished?
