    Pleasure and joy are vital to our embodiment journey! If we don't experience pleasure and joy…what's the point of doing all this work? In today's episode Kate and Sarah Jane ask the questions: what emotions or secondary sensations are associated with pleasure in our bodies? Is pleasure tied with shame or self-condemnation? How do religious and cultural stories impact our ability to experience pleasure? What messages have we internalized about pleasure and joy that are overdue for examination? Let's slow down and invite pleasure into our lives as we explore the sixth principle of embodiment!

    We live in an age of polarization. There are hardly any areas of our life not affected by extreme views, from politics to entertainment to social media. Everyone is looking to take a side, deliver a punchy soundbite, or be the first to “cancel” someone or something. No one wants to be on the wrong side of the cultural zeitgeist. In this environment it can be extremely hard to remain neutral. While some situations demand that we take a side, many areas of our life invite more nuance. In today's episode Kate and Sarah Jane talk about discernment, spiritual bypassing, toxic positivity, Brene Brown, Lizzo, and more! Join us as we explore the fifth principle of embodiment!

    Now that we have gotten curious, let's practice presence! In this episode Kate and Sarah Jane explore how mindfulness leads to neutrality, and how these principles are necessary for true embodiment. Part of cultivating presence requires us to recognize that all things are temporary and all feelings are transient. We can stay present when we know this, because it helps us endure difficult experiences. Can it also help us more deeply appreciate positive experiences when we know they are fleeting as well?
