59: Why Feel? Emotions & Embodiment for the Skeptic in You
Sometimes people wonder why feel our emotions? What good does it do when it is so uncomfortable?
Have you ever felt the chasm between your mind and body - where you think something or have a plan, but your body and your emotions do something else? Where you think something positive about yourself, but you FEEL differently in your body – Like you think you’re good enough and worthy, but somehow you don’t quite feel it in your being or you manifest something else?
Being in our bodies and feeling expands us into the unknown and what we cannot control, but gives us a world of wisdom, self-knowing, and self-love.
In this episode, I talk about embodiment 101 for the skeptic in you, what qualities and capacities healing and integration requires, moving from rationalizing to feeling, the steps to feeling, the myths about being still or quiet, and accessing your wisdom.
Also, listen in for updates about my adventures in Ireland being with horses, challenging learnings I have had, and where I am now in the world!
Tune in later this week for the Felt Sense Menu and Five Senses Body Scan.
