106a: Meditation: Consenting to People and The Present Moment as They Are by Dr. Michael Picucci14 Jan 202000:08:50

As a gift, Nick Werber has offered one of his favorite audio meditations on the subject of consenting to people and the present moment as they are. The meditation is originally written by German Psychologist Bert Hellinger and is read by Dr. Michael Picucci. Dr. Picucci was one of Nick’s greatest mentors and before he passed, Nick spent a year recording several of his meditations along with an audio version of his book, Focalizing Source Energy. The content of the meditation gets at a universal and enduring truth: that our perception of the world around us shapes the world around us.

106: The Life of an Intention, How Ancestry Intersects, and Black Sheep With Nick Werber13 Jan 202001:38:48

Nick Werber is back on The Podcast! My good friend, fellow wizard of a healer and Integrative Coach — Whether you enjoyed Nick Werber on The Podcast before or you’ve never heard from him, you’ll just drink up this episode in which Nick and I chat about a secret to our past lives, intentions, and Black Sheep!

All about Intentions — how to use body awareness to help with intentions, what to make of the barriers that come, and that as soon as you set your intentions you are saying:

“I’m ready to see what has been standing in the way all along.” ~ Nick Werber

Also, a constellations exercise that can support body wisdom and your intentions, and how we may be carrying intentions for someone else in our family ancestry and what to do about this. Find out what needs to be respected in Intention setting, about the process and life of intentions, and my confession about intentions this year.

We explore the value of the Black Sheep in the family from a statement by Bert Hellinger, whether or not Nick and I are the Black Sheep of our families, where we all may have a Black Sheep within us and how that can power the most important parts of us to come forward. A little here about the shadow of the Holocaust and guilt when stepping into what seems like more success than our families.

Listen to Nick Werber’s first appearance on the Podcast.

Journey through time by rainbow travel to the past and future selves — The past that can fortify a sense of ok-ness, strength, or feeling like yourself, and the future self or a loving person that gives you a new awareness of whatever you are experiencing now.

In this experiential, open a sense of agreement with life as it is now so that it can compel and move you forward with an integration of your experience. Beyond acceptance, love yourself through what is now, appreciating the journey, and inviting your future self to bring any needed or desired support.

Also in this episode, I share about some upcoming juicy and sensual topics for the year and what has been going on in my astrology and life.

102: The Akashic Records & Realm: Download What’s Beyond Mind Into Our Bodies with Susan Lipshutz16 Dec 201901:09:12

“The Akashic realm lives in a space of wanting us to update — so the mind can understand the experiences that transcend the mind.” ~ Susan Lipshutz

Susan reminds us of what’s beyond the mind’s programming, our innate wisdom, collaborating and interfacing with life as it is now, harvesting our calling, and reawakening the divine feminine. She brings the wisdom of the moon, the akashic realm, and the ancestral wisdom of our elders and earth to mesh with modern life.

What is the Akashic Realm? What informs the universe? Susan shares all about her 25-year-old relationship with the Akashic Realm and Records, what they are, and how it can be supportive; how it holds everything the collective has ever been through and where we are going. Susan works with Astrology and the Akashic Records together — with the intention of remembering what is forgotten, offering assistance to someone on their journey.

Susan speaks to reframing being a black sheep to a rainbow sheep. She honors her Russian roots and grandmother, while also speaking to transforming gifts of pain and learning from other unbroken ancestral lines. Also, gridding the space and being in the Love Frequency, downloading the akashic field into the body, intuition, the cosmic memory field, honoring every culture’s connection with the moon cycles and sacred.

Also, how Astrology informs the collective systems that are now collapsing, why the Earth Keepers like Greta Thunberg and others are collectively and individually showing up, and her interpretation of the Mayan Calendar ending in 2012 — how we have been here before and blew it, and are approaching again an ascension of consciousness.

Susan Lipshutz, LCSW has been a pioneer in the field of Integrative Psychotherapy, women’s empowerment and soul level mentoring for over 35 years. Consultations are tailored to the needs of the individual offering a blend of innovative deep therapeutic approaches with an expanded understanding of the greater self via an astrological and spiritual perspective. Devoted to building meaningful communities that reawaken and integrate the divine feminine into daily life, Susan invites a reclaiming of each woman’s ancestral wisdom, inner guidance and innate understanding of true beauty via a weaving of practices and teachings inspired by many years of dedicated work with global wisdom keepers and evolutionary teachings. Susan is the founder of Everyday Medicine Woman, offering workshops, meditation courses, and retreats.

101: Daydream: Breathing Room for the Spirit09 Dec 201900:27:24

Spend time daydreaming without an agenda. Daydreaming is a way to love yourself. Give space for your deep inner life and Soul to play. Allow breathing room for your Spirit. Daydreaming offers space for creative life energy of the universe to come through you and can be restful, healing, or revealing. Time for the unexpected, the unimagined, and the unplanned is essential for your wild inner life to thrive!

In this episode, I talk about the benefits of Daydreaming and ways to enter into a dreamspace. I share how to awaken curiosity and openness that gives space for the depths to emerge.

Sometimes what arrives are aspects of yourself that want to be heard, healed, or expressed in your daily life, sometimes it is nonsensical thoughts that spring into practical and inspired ideas, and other times it is to fuel your creative and imaginal spirit and life.

Let mystery be alive through your dream time!

100: Roxanne Partridge: Come Back to Your Native Psychic Land - Menstrual-Sexual Empowered Embodiment From the Depths Up & Out02 Dec 201901:15:35

Who shows up on your menstrual cycle? Roxanne talks about paying attention to the parts of self that come up as a window to our depths, the marginalized parts of self, and our under-worldly soul.

Roxanne Partridge, of Embody Period, brings Menstruality - Sexuality Embodiment “From the Depths Up & Out”. She invokes the goddess and wild self in women through luscious words, provocative and artistic expression, imagery, and the depths and darkness.

Roxanne supports women in connecting back to the source of themselves and awakening their vital and essential selves, sexuality, highlighting the magic of all stages of a woman’s menstrual cycle, and sharing their stories as they are.

Roxanne soulfully shares about:

  • Inner Social Justice: befriending the marginalized parts of self that don’t have representation in day to day life
  • What happens as marginalized parts of ourselves meet the waking life versions of ourselves?
  • The painful story that created the Menstrual Backdrop to her life and mission
  • Space and creating space, making space, living in space, taking up space… space poetry
  • Deconstructing the pathologization and silencing of women’s cyclicity and the reduction of the moon cycle to “hormones” and reclaiming the beautiful and magical context of women’s lives
  • Death and Rebirth: the potential of every cycle
  • The sensuality of bleeding
  • Who shows up when you are bleeding or at different parts of your cycle?
  • How do you carry the gift of renewal and imagine it forward into your life?
  • How Soul is revealing Itself to you through your embodied experience

Dr. Roxanne Partridge, CHt is known for inspiring and guiding others into embodying their unique, sustainable, fullness. Women, menstruators, and individuals seeking a safe, healing, and inclusive space to explore menstruality, sexuality, and embodied identity, are empowered through Roxanne’s in-depth and creative approach. In her private practice and workshops, as well as in her writing and speaking engagements, she is an advocate for equal rights to imagination for images of female embodied experience. As a healer-scholar-activist, Roxanne has lectured and facilitated workshops at conferences for the Society of Menstrual Cycle Research, Seeing Red, Jungian Society of Scholarly Studies, International Association for Jungian Psychology, and the International Association for Analytical Psychology.

Roxanne received her Ph.D. in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, California. Informed by feminist Post-Jungian, liberational, archetypal, and eco-psychological theory and practices, Depth Psychology is inherently holistic. Depth Psychology attends to the nuances of experience in the context of daily life, cultural and familial backgrounds, and manifestations of the unconscious, such as dreams. Importantly, this paradigm sees troublesome emotional and behavioral symptoms, suffering, and questions of identity as invitations into a deeper and wider understanding of personal purpose, potential, healing, transformation, and embodied autonomy. Roxanne received her Clinical Hypnotherapy certification from the Santa Barbara Institute of Hypnotherapy and trained with revolutionary sex therapist Gina Ogden in her medicine wheel method of relational sexuality. Roxanne’s background in holistic therapies and the arts forms a creative container for deep and catalytic work.

Additionally to this episode Roxanne also provides an experiential which is EP100a or available on CandiceWu.com/roxanne.

182: [Reverie] : Sound Healing – Upon the news of Ukraine Being Invaded02 Mar 202200:11:00

When I found out that Russia invaded Ukraine, I felt grief, pain, and a desperate desolation and longing.

This is a sound healing and transmission using my voice to get in touch with and allow those feelings to flow. If the news has touched you or if you are having any emotions in your life, I encourage you to let it come forward. This was my way to honor what was coming through me. I am imagining light around all those impacted.

About [reverie] on The Embody Podcast: Spiritual Succulents

The sweetness, agony, delight, joy, freshness, and fullness of what is — This is Beauty. Here is my ongoing attempt to embrace the All — all that is — including the depths of the unseen yet known, in a Life of Beauty.

[Reverie] emerges as a creative outlet for pieces of me, experiments, parts of process, artistry, in any form that honors or interacts with Being. Conversations with the pulse of Life itself… with Beauty. They are gifts from Life to me and to you if it is for you to hear.

As a play with the dimensions of Being, I invite you to listen as if you are speaking and all the same, as I am speaking. Without pressure to make sense but to let what wants to flow into any part of your being do so freely — to get LOST.

Enjoy in your own way.

99: Giving: What Part of You Does it Come From? The Shadow Side and Self-Honesty: Part 3 of Cleanse Your Ideas of Taking, Receiving, and Giving25 Nov 201900:53:32

In this episode, I draw on lessons from the Horses on giving and taking and from the founder of Family Constellations, Bert Hellinger’s ideas on how we stay innocent when we give and feel guilty when we take. His statement that has brought icy feeling of truth to me at times, “It is better for you to feel obligated to me than for me to feel obligated to you,” is a great place to explore what our relationship to giving and taking is.

Where horses take the carrot I give them, I sometimes begrudgingly see my own needs and desires: for the horse to give back to me, love me, kiss me or give me attention… But also the simple lesson of being in complete action and alignment by delighting in the giving.

I invite you to notice on subtle levels why you give, from which place are you giving, and who is doing the giving? It takes grit to be honest and have weight in yourself by recognizing what you might silently or secretly expect from others when you give while finding a place for the pure act of giving.

Also, I touch on taking your parents as they are — a piece that I had forgotten to speak to in the episode on taking.

This conversation is Part 3 of 3 on the investigation and self-inquiry around taking, receiving, and giving. In week 1, I explored the developmental need and assertive tool of taking — the benefits of being able to take and how taking comes before giving in the spectrum of life. In week 2 I explored receiving and how it is connected to our embodiment and visceral reactions as well as permission, belief sets, saying NO, and our ancestral lineage.

98: Taking vs. Receiving — Part 2 — Deepen Your Capacity to Receive… Cleanse Your Ideas of Taking, Receiving, and Giving18 Nov 201900:59:03

With this episode, let’s cleanse our personal permission to receive and explore how receiving can relate and be blocked by feelings of betrayal within our ancestry and the collective, saying NO, expectations and attachments, our body’s visceral reactions to receiving and belief sets.

A self-exploration on:

  • What is receiving and what does it require us to feel and do?
  • Receiving is all connected to our body’s visceral reactions
  • Our belief sets (and where they come from) that block us from deepening receiving what we desire
  • What do you feel allowed, worthy of, and able to receive? Love, sensuality, abundance, money, compliments, touch…

Plus a sharing about a recent experience with a ghost that I now would rather call a spirit or ancestor and my experiences with Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak Dance Company recently around movements born from trauma.

This conversation is Part 2 of 3 on the investigation and self-inquiry around taking, receiving, and giving. Last week, I explored the developmental need and assertive tool of taking — the benefits of being able to take and how taking comes before giving in the spectrum of life.

97: Taking vs. Receiving — Part 1 — Permission to Take… Cleanse Your Ideas of Taking, Receiving, and Giving11 Nov 201900:45:20

This conversation offers an investigation and self-inquiry around taking, receiving, and giving. We often overvalue giving and stigmatize taking — that taking is selfish, impolite, or that we shouldn’t… we certainly shouldn’t take too much. And we often moralize that it is better to receive than to take. Does that limit us in our fullness?

We need to be able to take. It is an assertive action we can play with and use when we need it. Taking space, taking your own time, taking up space, taking what we need, and ultimately taking our place. My teacher, Suzi Tucker, says that it is first “take, then give.” Taking comes before giving.

In this episode, I discuss our developmental need to take, what beliefs may interfere with our ability to assert and take what we need or desire, taking too much and its relationship with scarcity, and the wounds and messages we may have received and internalized that make it hard for us to take and receive.

This is part one of the series: Cleanse Your Ideas of Taking Receiving, and Giving. Next week: Opening Your Capacity to Receive

96: Creating a Subversive Sisterhood of Saints + Holy Women Icons Project With Angela Yarber04 Nov 201901:00:59

Angela brings forward the Goddess within along with the stories and lives of women of color and queer women through history that have been often hidden or left in the dark corners! She supports women who have been hurt or confined by versions of spirituality, those who are exhausted by the larger constructs that can oppress, and those who bring their own empowering life forward through her life journey as well as her programs at Holy Women Icons Project.

In this podcast, Angela discusses bringing forward stories that call up a reflection of our self-worth, love, resilience, and strength; her experiences of microaggression in the spiritual community, and her experiences of being a queer clergywoman for 14 years. We have discussions about how the spirituality that was handed to her was a version that felt too confining for the essence of her being that was passionate about dance, arts, and writing.

95: A{Live} Now: Piecing Together Past Lives + Reclaiming Magic From Other Worlds28 Oct 201900:31:20

In this brief episode, I share how two more past lives have been revealed to me through my grief and darkness and the magic I have reclaimed because of it. Time-traveling really far back — one life as a dragon and one in Lemuria — I am recalibrating ancient knowings that never previously made sense but do now through a part of me that has known all along. Listen in for a life that was never lived, and bringing utopia to life as it is now.

94: The Teeny Tiny Shifts and Changes in the Nervous System That Your Body Builds On21 Oct 201900:39:53

Noticing our body’s level of coherence and vibrating with the rightness of our being brings even more trust and healing. In this podcast, I talk about the things you can notice that your body does to tell you that healing is happening. When you notice these, you can develop your body trust and boost your innate healing.

The nervous system builds upon this to develop body trust and innate healing, the experience that you can trust that your body innately knows its way and allow it to lead. This can also help when you feel stuck or have that thought that nothing’s changing in your life or your healing process, for when you feel down on yourself or overwhelmed.

Look for teeny tiny things that are already happening and transforming to support you.

93: Between Worlds: Birth Photography and the Power of Imagery With Chinelle Rojas, Knowing Our Birthing Options Can Save Lives14 Oct 201901:03:47

“A world where our little pebble of documenting births can make waves on the mortality rate of mothers across the country or the world. How amazing would that be?” ~ Chinelle Rojas

Chinelle brings awareness to birthing options that can save lives, especially women of color through her intimate, raw, tender, powerful, and revealing photography. She tells a story of women in their goddess selves and “between worlds” with their babies and families, capturing the powerful moment of life coming into the world.

Chinelle’s eye for honesty in her photographs is inspiring and unearthing silenced or quieted areas of our humanity into conversation through images. In this podcast, she candidly speaks about her own birthing experiences and stories of being witness to the profound process of birthing. She shared how her curiosity of how slave women birthed lead to her creating provocative photographs that were sparse or missing in her Google search and how she is able to heal her ancestors.

Statistically, black women in the United States have a mortality rate of 3–4 times higher than white women, and Chinelle believes that one of the major reasons is lack of representation and WOC in the birth community and the visibility of different options available. That’s why she created The Melanated Birth - to offer just that.

From this down-to-earth wife, mom, advocate, logo designer, and birth photographer and videographer currently located in Tampa, Florida, you will learn why diversity in the birth world is greatly needed and be reminded of the reality and magic of birthing.

92: Nervous System Overwhelm: Notice the Signs, Polyvagal Theory Basics, and 12 Tools Towards Healing Trauma, Depression, Shut Down, and Overwhelm30 Sep 201901:04:38

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 nervous system, the more compassion I have been able to feel for others and humanity.

How can we understand our nervous systems through animal behavior? Find out in this episode. I also bring forward questions I like to ask myself: How much of me is here? Where is my awareness/what is the quality of it? How am I in my body?

Next week, I will share three experientials that are connected to this episode.

91: Ken Honda — Is Your Money Smiling? The Japanese Art of Making Peace With Your Money23 Sep 201901:08:44

“Arigato in, Arigato out” is Ken’s mantra with money, and he promises, it’s not going to cost you anything!

Ken Honda of Tokyo, Japan, known to be the Marie Kondo of money, talks on the podcast about the Japanese art of making peace with your money. Do you use money or does money use you? Is your money happy or unhappy? Ken encourages permission to enjoy money and cleansing our relationship to money.

Ken encourages permission to enjoy money! He shares the confusion and devastation with money and a person’s death that marked his journey of meaning, and how he came to support millions of people in gratitude, following your heart, and finding your gifts as part of the path to money that appreciates.

Ken explains that the distance to happiness is amazingly equal and always same regardless of your circumstances and identities. While it may not be uncomfortable to realize that money is not the problem, Ken brings this conversation to a deep level of self where money is a neutral energy. We put lots of emotional garbage into our relationship with money, which can clutter and cloud it.

Ken talks about embracing your ability to receive, how to cleanse family shame around abundance, how to be vulnerable and ask for support, how the rich and poor have unhappy relationships to money, and how we can compel a planetary shift with a happy relationship to money.

“We are born for expressing our who we are and being authentic self.” ~ Ken Honda

Ken Honda is the author of Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money. He is a bestselling author of self-development books and has sold more than seven million copies worldwide. While his financial expertise comes from owning and managing several businesses, his writings bridge the topics of finance and self-help, focusing on creating and generating personal wealth and happiness through deeper self-honesty.

A ten-minute taste of my story in becoming a healing facilitator and the ways in which I support people in the science and the spirituality of being at home in their bodies and loving and feeling like themselves.

If you’ve wondered how Embody Your Nature could support you in your deepening, inner wisdom, and knowing of yourself or your relationships, how my work is different from talk therapy and other spiritual work, or how horse experiences provide healing, hop into this brief appearance I had on Mind-Body Radio.

I share about the types of clients that come to me from those experiencing tension or illness in their bodies, emotional imbalance, patterns in their lives, or desires that they are moving towards.

88: The Deep Mystery of Life Part 2: Dots Connect with Land, Horse, and Reconnected Souls02 Sep 201901:00:02

The continuation of one of past life stories has opened up unimaginable experiences and knowings! In my willingness to surrender into the unbelievable aspects of my experience and in listening to the Ohio land, a beautiful horse I met that showed me more, how a police officer guided me towards the right land where I have been hundreds of years ago, and a new friend, Amélie, that gave me more pieces of my story and… well, I won’t give it all away here. It’s nothing short of magical, so much I can barely believe it myself. And through it, I’m experiencing more of myself, trusting deeper, and living in the flow of the deep mystery.

Also in this episode a brief share about a new trauma/movement collaboration with dancers in Molly Shanahan / Mad Shak Choreography and a poem I wrote to express the Constellation of my soul’s past life lineage and family.

This is Part 2 of Deep Mystery of Life. The Story thread of this Past Life began in this episode last year: Past Life Trauma — Ep 49 and continued in Deep Mystery of Life — EP84 and a brief part in the intro in The Shadow Side of Empathy — EP86.

87: Lessons From a Volcano, Luminary Transformation of Heaven on Earth With Darshan Mendoza26 Aug 201901:17:07

“A New Earth began to form beneath our feet. Volcanic ashes filled the air. Sulfuric particles embedded themselves into our hair, onto our skin and tongues. My mouth was coated in ashes, my lungs were processing the particles alongside the grief of so many things passing, burning too quickly for my heart to comprehend. I found these notes and postings I had written during the first month of the eruption.” ~ Darshan Mendoza, from her book The Luminary Journey: Lessons from a Volcano in Creating a Healing Center and Becoming the Leader You Were Born to Be

Darshan is an incredible visionary and sees the magic that nature is showing us! She is alive and awake to share the lessons and experience from the Big Island of Hawai’i Volcano erupting in 2018. She shares her beautiful journey in seeing transformation through devastation; the acceleration of a new Earth emerging, which catapulted her into a whole new life.

We talk on the podcast about resetting our vibration with our names, her grandmother’s secret and adventurous life, and Darshan’s message to embody the Hopi saying "we are the ones we have been hoping for.” Also in this episode, her connection with friend, Anutosh Foo, and the most beautiful experience of dying, and the chapter of her life that is happening now: trusting intuition and seeing the divine.

Darshan Mendoza is the spiritual director of Akuahā, a healing retreat in Volcano, Hawai’i. She curates personalized journeys of healing, transformation, and visionary incubation for her guests and clients for planetary transformation. In 2019, she launches The Luminary Journey, a new-moon-to-new-moon program and residency, where Luminaries birth their visions in a holistic and embodied way into the world.

Darshan was born in Manila, Philippines and moved to Chicago with her family at the age of seven. She graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a BA in political science and minors in English and philosophy. She explored the world of law as a student at the John Marshall Law School and the world of creative writing at Columbia College Chicago. She worked as a paralegal, journalist and editor before her spontaneous Kundalini Awakening which led her onto a Healer’s Path.

Soon enough the Ancestors of Hawai’i called Darshan to The Big Island where she began an accelerated decade-long Mystery School where she learned from wisdom keepers from the Philippines, Hawai’i, India, Tibet, the Black Foot and Navajo Nations, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Mexico, Japan, China, New Zealand, the Bioenergetics Quantum Field, and the Kundalini Yoga and Meditation Lineage. The simplest way to describe Darshan is that of a visionary, healer, and teacher. She is committed to anchor in heaven on earth by creating healing centers, visionary incubation labs, and schools all over the world and supporting Luminaries in discovering their genius and sharing it with the world. She finds home in Hawai’i, Chicago, and the Philippines.

86: The Shadow Side of Empathy: When Empathy Goes Awry19 Aug 201901:10:00

The dark side of empathy. There’s nothing wrong with empathy or helping, but where it is coming from? Is the way you are seeing people when you support ultimately disempowering them? Who are you being in experiences where you support, help, heal, or be there for others?

This episode is not just for healers, empaths, wellness practitioners, or those in the helping profession — this is for everybody who has relationships to themselves and others. An Empathy Cleanse so that we can truly be honoring of each other in this life.

In this episode: where empathy can go wrong or too far, how we might put ourselves aside and where empathy supports self-avoidance or abandonment, my story of shifting in consciousness around being a healer, respecting others’ in their wholeness, and SEEING.

Also, a bit here on how supporting others, acceptance of death, respecting each others’ journeys, ancestry or past life, narcissist/empath and other victim/perpetrator agreements and dynamics, and codependency all connect in this conversation about empathy.

85: Shannon Weber on Agility In Giving and Receiving + Growing Your Empathy Muscle12 Aug 201901:12:29

“We risk falling in love. We risk feeling deep connection. We risk changing our own mind. We risk returning from this empathy adventure as a different person.” ~Shannon Weber on Empathy Adventuring

Shannon Weber believes you can thrive at the intersection of empathy and resilience.

Shannon leads efforts to end HIV by day and hangs anonymous love notes in public spaces with her three teenagers by night. She is a serial social entrepreneur, having launched several HIV-informed sexual and reproductive health initiatives that have served thousands locally and impacted tens of thousands around the globe. Shannon has a Master’s of Social Work from Tulane University, New Orleans, received the 2018 UCSF Chancellor’s Award for Public Service, and has taught on stages from Durban to Hong Kong. She is the author of Show Up Hard: A Road Map For Helpers In Crisis.

In this episode: From missed connections to vulnerability and intimacy, the craving for meaning in life, moving from enmeshed or co-dependent relationships to compassion in between, how Shannon has cultivated healthy dialogue with her son, reimagining our own true script for life, noticing white fragility and saviourism in all of us with gentleness, lead instead of saving people, and how “boundary creates connection in other spaces.”

The icing on the cake: a Love Note for YOU, the Listener.

84a: You Are the Way: A Meditation to Open Ways of Knowing + Intuition07 Aug 201900:17:06

84: The Deep Mystery of Life + Elbow Wisdom : Embracing What Logic Cannot Explain05 Aug 201901:02:08

There are things we just cannot explain that have a deep impact on our hearts, bodies, and souls. We are in the deep mystery of life — but do we flatten it by feeding everything through the rational?

What do a camping trip, sleeping with a steak knife, horses, my uterus, and men have to do with each other??

In this episode tune into how a camping trip, sleeping with a steak knife in hand, revealed a past life experience, the story of my uterus and elbow — the thread of the past life trauma experience that emerged on the Acupuncture Table, my bond with the white man as a native American in this past experience, a recent energetic download and expansion, believing and trusting in yourself, scrapping previous knowing to discover new knowing, remembering your sovereignty and the sovereignty of all beings, and fear shows that you may be ready.

“Love brings us as close to Source as we can be.” ~ Richard Moss

Richard guides us in a beautiful meditation that reminds us that “There is only now — the body is always in the now” and that “breathing is like a friend that has never abandoned you your whole life.” Bring a new frame for understanding and touch the moment with a quality of awareness that moves you into purposeless from the point of view of the ego, as Richard describes.

83: Richard Moss: Loving Love, With a Capital L29 Jul 201901:19:40

“Love brings us as close to Source as we can be.” ~ Richard Moss

Richard Moss has dedicated his life to loving Love with a Capital L. In this episode, receive the invitation to connect with the wildness of the soul, the part of you that wants to dance with love and “die into love.” Richard shares about experiencing life challenges as the deeper opportunity of our lives to love, the way towards intimacy, and planting a tree in fear.

In this episode: Relationship as a way to accelerate loving Love, Why is this called the Embody Podcast? Embodiment as a beginning-less and endless journey, being obedient to nature, and thinner skin and more sensitivity in aging. Richard looks truth and present happenings in the face — he vulnerably shares how his financial challenge is accelerating his deepening, the reality that there are no guarantees of identity or security in life even if we borrow it from the past or future, that democracy is only as good as the people in it and being seduced, and the root of our hurting the planet, recycling, and social issues. Richard says, “we don’t leave behind patriarchy without a profound change of identity” and “If you love love what else is there to do?”

In 1977 Richard Moss was a practicing physician when he experienced a spontaneous state of illumination that irreversibly changed his life and profoundly transformed his understanding of human consciousness and behavior. With this opening came a new level of sensibility including a heightened intuition, subtle insight into mystical and spiritual teachings, and the ability to sense human body-energy fields.

Impelled by this opening and its intensity which required virtually continuous self-examination, he took a sabbatical from his medical practice and began a period of withdrawal from his usual activities for nearly a year. During this time he spontaneously meditated for hours each day and read extensively in the spiritual and psychoanalytic literature, as well as poetry, and mythology. Above all, he made a careful observation of the new quality of energy moving in his body, and how his thoughts instantly generated emotions and sensations.

“He who loves, loves love,

and loving love forms a circle so complete,

there is no end to love."

Saint Bernard, quoted by Richard Moss in the February 2017 seminar in Hameaux de l’Etoile, France

From this introspective period grew his understanding that the root cause of most unnecessary human suffering and conflict comes from two basic forms of ignorance: Unquestioned identification with thinking, especially our judgments and beliefs, and secondly, the general inability in most people to engage threatening feeling in an aware, vulnerable, and creative way.

Richard’s work is about catalyzing you to live as fully and creatively as you were born to live. His goal is that you don’t just follow his or anyone’s work, but that you learn to become your own teacher.

Following this podcast, there will be a meditation provided by Richard, it’s called “83a: Touch this Moment with Richard Moss” and can be found on the link below.

82c: Body Language : Healing Experiential: Love the Body’s Multidimensional Communication27 Jul 201900:25:37

Your body wants you to listen and understand so that you know yourself more deeply, while it communicates multilingually. Be present witness to one part of the body that is calling you: a tension, pain, illness, organ, or emotion, etc. Learn to honor and converse with this part of the body to support your movement towards healing.

82: Conversations with the Body: Body Love and Multi-Language22 Jul 201900:53:00

Your body wants to ally with you! It is a brilliant, intelligent, adaptable vessel and wants to bring you towards peace, pleasure, aliveness, and who you deeply are. But what about all the aches and pains? In this episode: stomach issues, falling into a hole and twisting my ankle, emotions and elbow pain — stories of how I’ve had conversations with my body and the colorful and dimensional ways in which the body communicates what it wants you to resolve. Where the body reveals the heart of the soul, our most tender desires, ancestral pain, belief sets, and stores experiences that are incomplete.

What would your body say if it could talk? The body doesn’t lie and is the opening to more. Tune in for a conversation about the multidimensional multilingual body calling you to listen to and reveal who you deeply are.

Plus three experiential this week that support you in orienting and a deep presence in the here and now, claiming all the parts of your body as yours with gratitude and witness, and working with and bringing healing to one part of the body, learning to be with and translate its multi-lingual conversation.

Sponsored by My Restore the Flow of Love Workshop in Chicago, IL

I have an upcoming Constellations Healing Workshops in Chicago.

Whether related to abundance, money, love, dis-ease/health, relationships, career, etc., our struggles connect with our early unconscious and unspoken ways of belonging and flow of love. This connection with our lineage is carried through our bodies: the cells, viscera, the heart, energy, dis-ease, our fluidity, and freedom. Where those before us didn’t get to integrate a loss or trauma or where there was an imbalance in relationship, the flow of love is disrupted as a placeholder for where there is energy, love, and strength waiting to open and flow forward towards us.

In Family + Systemic Constellations, we constellate and acknowledge the dynamics in the undercurrent of the systems you are part of whether known or unknown. We reveal the essential movements towards healing with others in the group as representative of the parts of your family or systems (community, workplace, parts of self, past life, etc.). We restore the flow of love giving more natural space, ease, and freedom to move in the world with fuller embodiment, authenticity, and truth.

Join me for Restore the Flow of Love — Chicago, Illinois — July 21, 2019 and for future and other workshops look here.

81: Heal it Before it Hits You In the Face And Gratitude for Your Nemesis with Joffre McClung15 Jul 201901:05:36

Joffre shows us self-love with sass, swagger, and a big laugh. In this podcast episode: how leaning into the dark night of the soul can bring a new lens on reality, finishing up the Matrix of Love, Joffre’s story of how she had done everything to have a good life and rock bottom at age 29, and shifting from mental masturbation and the mind doing double lifting to heart healing.

Joffre discusses beginning again, healing before it hits you in the face, using positive vs negative imagination, and emotions as a navigational system. There is already a part of you that knows it is one with the divine and we leave clues for ourselves. She talks about how challenging people and situations around cancer brought her to more self-love. And when you don’t take up the practice of loving all the parts of you, the orphaned parts may shout to wake you up!

Joffre is a Spiritual/Personal Growth Author, Motivational Speaker, and Common Sense Advocate who was compelled to write her first book, HOW LEARNING TO SAY GOODBYE TAUGHT ME HOW TO LIVE/2015, on spiritual growth because of the profound experiences of seeing her best friend battle breast cancer. Joffre began her career as a theatre actress and producer, having spent most of her adult life in New York City, where she acted and produced several Off-Broadway productions.

An avid student of spiritual literature and techniques since the early 1980s, Joffre taught herself filmmaking and formed Sweet Moon Pictures Production Company back in the 1990s. She wrote, produced, and directed two independent films with spiritual themes or overtones: Out of the Blue (1995) and Best Wishes (2002; winner of the “Spirit of the West Award”). Before moving back to Texas to care for her dying mother, she worked as a senior producer and director for a media broadcast Production Company in New York City for over fifteen years. Her newest book, THE HEART OF THE MATTER (A Workbook and Guide to Finding Your Way Back to Self-love) 2017, was born out of the work she did within to heal her wounds and beliefs of the past and move successfully and fully into self-love. Joffre’s passion — now through her book, talks, and videos — is to help everyone wake up, take the journey of self-discovery, and empower themselves through self-love.

80: Congruence Inside & Out: Stand For All Of You08 Jul 201900:35:13

It’s quite the human task to be congruent and aligned with ourselves — to feel that who we are on the inside is expressed and reflected on the outside. Then there is all of what is within. Do you sacrifice, sell off, hide, or ignore parts of yourself? What does congruence feel like to you in your body? In this episode, how the Hong Kong Protests challenged me personally to stand up for all the parts of me, not just some, but to have compassion meanwhile. Also, the price we pay when we have codependency or where we are split in our choices, how to feel aligned in your body and congruent outwardly, living from the heart and looking deeper at social issues.

Join me for the Restore the Flow of Love Family Constellations Workshop in Chicago — July 21, 2019

Whether related to abundance, money, love, dis-ease/health, relationships, career, etc., our struggles connect with our early unconscious and unspoken ways of belonging and flow of love. This connection with our lineage is carried through our bodies: the cells, viscera, the heart, energy, dis-ease, our fluidity, and freedom. Where those before us didn’t get to integrate a loss or trauma or where there was an imbalance in relationship, the flow of love is disrupted as a placeholder for where there is energy, love, and strength waiting to open and flow forward towards us.

In Family + Systemic Constellations, we constellate and acknowledge the dynamics in the undercurrent of the systems you are part of whether known or unknown. We reveal the essential movements towards healing with others in the group as representative of the parts of your family or systems (community, workplace, parts of self, past life, etc.). We restore the flow of love giving more natural space, ease, and freedom to move in the world with fuller embodiment, authenticity, and truth.

79: Being Brave to Do What is Enough and Not More With Kerry Maiorca01 Jul 201901:08:18

“Loving yourself is always a good move.” ~Kerry Maiorca

It takes bravery to slow down and recognize you are enough. Kerry Maiorca dismantles the idea you have to be a certain kind of person to practice yoga. She encourages and teaches others to make time within their messy lives to love themselves and to simplify. Kerry asks: Is it self-love or is it self-bullying and shaming? And, is FEAR your CEO? In this episode, she talks about why First Graders are better at meditation than you are, how to begin any practice just as you are, nourishment in the in-between spaces of life, how yoga is real life happening, and to give yourself permission to have joy without other intentions.

Kerry’s mission is to inspire you to slow down, breathe more deeply, and do a little less. Specializing in teaching Gentle and Restorative Yoga, Kerry is passionate about sharing the depths of practice in an accessible, individualized, and down-to-earth way.

Kerry is the Founder of Bloom Yoga Studio and serves as chair of the board for Yoga Alliance. She’s been teaching yoga for over 20 years and loves mentoring new and experienced yoga teachers to help them authentically shine. In September 2019, Kerry will be co-leading the Nourished Life Retreat in Aspen, CO, complete with Gentle Yoga, Culinary Nutrition Classes, Hiking, a Creativity Reboot, and more!
