In this episode, Tessa introduces us to focusing, a beautiful technique that brings more consciousness and acceptance into our lives by giving our body wisdom more space. It’s practical, you can do it to support your happiness, your relationships and as meditation; infinitely adaptable and useful in everyday life.
We also talk about the wonderful medicine circle, birth trauma, preparing for birth and many other topics.
