Releasing the Stress of Negative Events

In today's practice, we explore how incorporating a pose, intentional relaxation, and some tiny movement can help us create a new emotional experience around a negative event. 

We will particularly focus on relaxing the psoas muscles, which tense when an upsetting event occurs. 

So get comfy - this is a good one!

Year of the Inner Child: Balance

Finding flow and balance in our lives really creates this beautiful sweet spot where we are able to “allow the wisdom of [our] emotions and the structure of [our] thoughts to become our teachers and guides.

Trying to navigate life when we are overextended and under supported (in other words, out of balance) is, well, simply, a shit show :)

Let’s explore how we can gently but firmly parent ourselves in these moments so we can experience balance and ease.

Mudita & Dan: Communicating Like a Bad Ass

      


Communication is the bedrock of our interactions, yet few of us are taught to talk and listen in a way that fosters clarity and connection. Too often, our communication habits lead to confusion, misunderstandings, bruised feelings, damaged relationships, and avoidable conflict.

In this episode of the Beyond Surviving Podcast, I connect with Mudita Nisker and Dan Clurman, authors of Let's Talk: An Essential Guide to Skillful Communication, about how to change that.

We discuss the how to’s (and to not’s) of communication along with their Top 3 strategies for communicating like a bad ass!

Mudita wants you to know that, "Communication is spiritual in the sense that it fosters compassion. And part of compassion is recognizing that we are all suffering on some level and to open our hearts to that with kindness to ourselves and others."

Dan wants you to know that, "In communication there is mutual understanding and that is a beginning element. The more I understand myself and someone else in conversation, the more I'm touched by the other person's experiences, the more I'm affected, the more I have some sense of empathy and thus able to recognize how interdependent we all are."

Year of the Inner Child: Self-Esteem

I know having a strong sense of self and believing in and loving yourself is one of the biggest hurdles we have to jump when it comes to healing from trauma.

The good news is, you don't have to wait until you "have it all together" for you to start feeling good about who you are and celebrating that and loving yourself for that!

To embracing your unique self!

Why is moving important for nervous system regulation?

As we continue our journey in exploring ways to increase nervous system regulation, we now turn our attention to movement based practices. 

Today, I’ll share with you the seven key was movement-based practices change the brain and help us develop both interoception (our ability to “feel inside” ourselves) and proprioception (our ability to sense body position, movement, and balance).

I’ll also give you some simple ways to get started incorporating movement into your breathing/grounding practices.
