Growing Embodiment

In this episode of the podcast I talk about what has been supportive and provided me with solace as I go through changes and uncertainty in life. In particular, I talk about structure, consistency, responsibility and showing up for ourselves and others. Plus, I delve into how these things can support us and why we might be resistant to it.Mentioned in this episode:Podcast episodes:More information on the feminine archetypes: Getting comfortable with the not knowing and making life changes:Articles:How to support me :)Thank you for reading, support this publication by becoming a subscriber

In this episode of the podcast, I discuss our need to control, plan, and ultimately obsess over the future and how to make peace with the unknown. Can we accept that life is out of our control? Can we embrace not knowing every step forward? Is it OK not to know where our life is going? I've been through a huge life change, and have a few thoughts on how to let go of all this so you can be more accepting of yourself and the chaos that is life.Check out the article that accompanies this episode:How to support me :)Thank you for reading, support this publication by becoming a subscriber

Why do we seek external validation so much? Is it always a bad thing? Join me in this episode where I discuss how I stopped obsessing over what others think and began to stand up for myself while also honouring the feelings of others. It's all tied into my journey from “maiden” (in the feminine archetypes) to more “mother” and perhaps it will resonate with you as well, regardless of where you are in your life.

Welcome back, in this week I'll be discussing the question of finding purpose through our own personal pursuits (hobbies, pastimes etc) and whether or not it has to necessarily be “productive”. We'll also be challenging some of our preconceived notions around what is worthwhile and figuring out for ourselves what is serving us and meeting our needs. There's more to life than the 9-5 and 5-9 hustle, but every decision has a trade-off, what's worthwhile to you?Previous episodes in the Hobby SeriesPart 1 How to live more: Making the case for hobbies and pastimesPart 2 Make life meaningful: how to transition from social media to more hobbies Part 3 "I don't have time and/or money" (potential pitfalls to starting hobbies) Part 4 "Does it have to have a purpose?"

This episode is very much in process and demonstrates how we cannot plan, control or anticipate how everything will happen in our life. Things come up, take longer than we think or just smack you upside the head. I share what's going on through me as I work through this under the lens of “coming back to myself” particularly how certain feelings manifest in my body in the form of anxiety. I walk you through how to identify the sensations in your body and how we label it as a certain feeling. Getting back to embodiment rather than staying stuck in our head.Life is unpredictable, how do we respond to this uncertainty and unpredictability while remaining true to ourselves?Resources mentioned in this episode:* Death is a reminder to LIVE* Investigating your relationship with social media* Meeting yourself where you are* Finding Peace, calm and presence in daily life - The 100 Days of Mindfulness * Podcast on human needs: 40 | Understanding this will change your life (the human needs)Want to work with me?* BREATHE Membership : On-demand breathwork and meditation practices to help you shift your state and develop a practice of self connection* Group Space: Live group breathwork every week* Private Space: Book a 1:1 breathwork sessionFreebies:* Join our little community: The Breathing Space writing + podcast on substack* Free Connected Breath Bundle for more self love, self connection and self acceptance through breathwork and daily “gentle gesture” practices* HEARD listening circle (donation based)* 100 Days of Mindfulness - Finding Peace, Presence and Calm in daily lifeWant to help me grow?

Welcome back to The Breathing Space [TBS]In this episode I share about my ever evolving relationship with social media. I've been reflecting on this relationship for quite some time and finally feel ready to share more about it - including the differences I've felt when on socials vs. completely off of it and where I've landed with it now. I'm going over my biggest breakthroughs, concerns, current usage, if I feel I'm missing anything when I'm offline, and some very unexpected observations as well as what has helped me land in a place where I feel content in my relationship with social media.

Welcome back to The Breathing Space.In this podcast episode I'm sharing how powerful the theme of meeting yourself where you are can be in slowly transforming my relationship to myself as well as my life.

How can we use consumerism and the impulse to accumulate more, to understand ourselves more deeply and find more meaning in our life? In this episode Liz discusses how more material things don't necessarily lead to more happiness. She discusses how using the myth of more can help you bring more meaning, fulfillment and joy into your life.Read the substack article “The Myth of More” for more day to day applications of this concept.Birthday celebration deals:* Get 25% off a Breathing Space substack subscription * 50% off the community breathwork call using code: BIRTHDAY when you book hereOr join me for a 1:1 breathwork call Get full access to The Breathing Space at thebreathingspace.substack.com/subscribe

We're back! After a hiatus following the 30 Days of Breath - which were awesome and you can check it out here - I'm back on the pod.In today's episode I talk about accessing the energy of the different elements (earth, air, fire, water) to deepen your understanding of yourself and reconnect with what's showing up for you. I focus particularly on the fire energy and using it for growth and discipline.Some of the things I discuss are:* What are the energies? * How do they show up? * How can you welcome in a deeper connection to yourself using them?* How you can take action without overwhelm (hint: think of where you currently are +1) so you can achieve the transformation/growth/change you desire.Listen to the podcast on Apple or Spotify.An invitation to join Embodied Breath - breathwork to deepen the connection with your body (without judgement).Resources + let's connect:* Free Chaos to Calm in 5 minute Breathwork Practice* The Breathing Space Substack Community* Book a 1:1 call* @spacebreathwork on IG Get full access to The Breathing Space at thebreathingspace.substack.com/subscribe

All the things we truly want in life are free - because they're feelings and not actual things. How we go about meeting our needs so that we FEEL how we want to feel, well that might cost us - either in time, money, energy or other resources. In this episode I talk about the benefits of showing up for yourself and of having structure. I also discuss how finding whatever it is that you are searching for, is a result of staying connected to yourself - and the best tool to do that, is breathwork!Announcing 30 DAYS OF BREATH - TAKE 5! 5 minute breathwork practices delivered to your inbox daily starting July 2nd.

Often we think losing weight will give us something, will help us feel happy, proud, beautiful etc. In this episode I talk about my experience gaining around 40lbs in less than 2 years and how I managed to continue to love and accept myself and my body. This isn't about health. It's about treating your body in a loving and nurturing way where you listen to its feedback and needs, especially when it comes to our feelings. Because if you're trying to lose weight, or have lost and gained the same weight over and over again, or are stuck in a binge-restrict cycle, this episode will tell you what's really going on and how to break free.Listen to the podcast on Apple or Spotify.Resources + let's connect:* Free Chaos to Calm in 5 minute Breathwork Practice* The Breathing Space Substack Community* Book a 1:1 call* @spacebreathwork on IG Get full access to The Breathing Space at thebreathingspace.substack.com/subscribe

Sometimes life can feel a little tiresome, with a lot of pushing, forcing and grinding. And sometimes things feel a little sticky or you feel stuck. And sometimes healing can be so heavy, deep and overwhelming.Not in this episode, today I talk about how I've found more energy and connection in my day to day life. As well as how you can bring more joy, pleasure and fun back into your life.

On today's episode I get honest about what I've been doing to hold space for myself as I go through an uncertain period in my life. I talk about finding meaning in the mundane everyday moments of life as a way to be present and connected to myself and to create safety in being me, rather than finding it outside myself.Plus it's a simple practice that you can use daily too, to bring so much more peace even when your emotions are all over the place.Listen to the podcast on Apple or Spotify.Resources mentioned in the episode:Article: On finding meaning in the mundanePractice for finding the present moment: Integrative Practice - everything is connected Podcast: Episode 19: Never Underestimate the Urge to BoltFree Connected Breathwork BundleSubstack: Join me this Monday May 1st at 7pm EST for the monthly OPEN SPACE - a group breathwork space.

Why do we continue behaviours even when they are destructive or harmful to us like smoking or binge/emotional eating?What's driving our behaviour, and what is underneath it? In this episode I discuss my own recent experience of feeling and integrating an emotion even though it was surprising & uncomfortable to do so - and yet this is part of the human experience. I also discuss high vs low vibe feelings (aka “good” and “bad” feelings) and how suppressing them is actually robbing you of your freedom, joy and the experience of being human. And how feeling your feelings can lead to more self trust & safety.You won't want to miss it. Mentioned in the episode:My article on choosing to feel.

Contrary to what many success and mindset coaches will tell you, I don't think making a decision quickly is always the best thing for you (in the long term).Instead, what if we learnt how to sit with and feel into what is true for us. To let the body lead and connect. This is healing. To change our relationship to these big emotions. Where we stay connected to our heart and our body and our truth even when the mind is screaming at us otherwise.I share on how the reality I THOUGHT I wanted is actually different from what may actually bring me fulfillment and how I've been managing sitting with this even when it's scary as all your constructs fall away. (Well, even when it's terrifying! as it has been while I've questioned how what I've believed for so much of my life, no longer feels true). Perhaps this will add some perspective to yourself and your process of figuring out what your next season will look like.Let's connect!* Grab the FREE Connected Breath Bundle to get trainings and practices to connect more deeply with yourself, your body, and your emotions!* IG: @spacebreathwork* Substack: The Breathing Space* And if you have a story to share about reconnecting with yourself and your healing journey, then Apply to be a guestAs always, please SHARE, RATE and REVIEW the podcast as it helps me to grow and reach more people.xoxo,Liz Get full access to The Breathing Space at thebreathingspace.substack.com/subscribe

How we can create, without having all the information? Last time Eliah was on the podcast (ep 21 The vulnerability of trying new things) we talked about healing your body and being able to step into the unknown once you've done that. In this episode we continue the conversation into what's possible once your nervous system's healed a bit (it doesn't have to be “fully healed”). Once you have enough peace, have moved through the biggest part of your healing - what do you do with that confidence, and with the tolerance for trusting your intuition and following your inner voice and taking the leaps that seem to defy reason. And seeing the rewards you couldn't possibly imagine.Trust that it's impossible to take a wrong step.Release the safety of projecting into the future and trying to figure everything out before it's happened.And just be with what is.Find Eliah on her amazing TikTok & Instagram - she's your go to girl for embodied boundaries.Let's connect!* Grab the FREE Connected Breath Bundle to get trainings and practices to connect more deeply with yourself, your body, and your emotions!* IG: @spacebreathwork* Substack: The Breathing Space* And if you have a story to share about reconnecting with yourself and your healing journey, then Apply to be a guestAs always, please SHARE, RATE and REVIEW the podcast as it helps me to grow and reach more people.xoxo,Liz Get full access to The Breathing Space at thebreathingspace.substack.com/subscribe

What to do when life feels like it's falling apart - when your business isn't where you want it to be or you're in a job you hate? Or when your relationship doesn't feel right or you're stuck being single? Or when so many more distractions pop up in life; unexpected bills, an illness or even just your mental health.This is where the duality of life comes in. To focus not on where you are now but where you want to go while simultaneously holding space for all the uncomfortable feelings that come up and healing the little parts of us crying out for attention.In this episode I talk about how we can manage seemingly conflicting feelings, wants, needs and desires so that we're able to move forward in our life and goals, to keep growing and expanding, even when faced with parts of us that are scared, stuck in lack, or scarcity. You can accomplish all that you want in life, without needing to wait to be fully healed, which can often lead to stagnation. And you can move forward without denying your feelings and pushing through which inevitably leads to burnout. You get to honour all parts of yourself!This episodes is a download, and maybe the one I'm most proud of, so take a listen.Let's connect!* Grab the FREE Connected Breath Bundle to get trainings and practices to connect more deeply with yourself, your body, and your emotions!* IG: @spacebreathwork* Substack: The Breathing Space* And if you have a story to share about reconnecting with yourself and your healing journey, then Apply to be a guestAs always, please SHARE, RATE and REVIEW the podcast as it helps me to grow and reach more people.xoxo,Liz Get full access to The Breathing Space at thebreathingspace.substack.com/subscribe

What if this year wasn't about accomplishing any goals but instead getting more in touch with who you are, what you want and what makes you feel good? Without it being on someone else's timeline (who decided once midnight strikes and we go from December 31 to January 1 that everything needs to change?? - my body is NOT ready for that!)In this episode we talk about some ways of connecting more deeply with yourself and observing what's going on with you and your body. Of honouring your timeline without getting swept up in the energy of the “New Year, New Me” let's change everything.Instead how can we create space for ourselves, observe what's going on and actually feel, express and release what we're carrying. Feelings are feedback - so what are you feeling and how can you use it to move forward with intention?Mentioned in this episode:* Article: Peeling back the layers to find yourself* Podcast: Peeling back your layers* Article: It's still winter* Deeper practice of connection in our Monthly circleCheck out my substack where I post a new article and podcast episode weekly.

Hello, hello, in this week's episode Liz talks about how artificial our lives are and how it is disconnecting us from who we really are.She also talks about how this is a societal and structural issue that prevents us from diving deeper into who we are. Each “layer” preventing us from seeing our true self is actually from the environment around us. But we get to choose to go deeper and investigate our own thoughts and feelings to get to our truth.Resources mentioned in the episode: * Instagram is over* The waves of life* Monthly breathwork circle Get full access to The Breathing Space at thebreathingspace.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode I further discuss how perfectionism is really a disconnection from ourselves and a way of invalidating our Self and our feelings. How we can notice the cycle of control and fear in our lives and how it shows up in work, life, holidays and more.Our actions are not nearly as important as our intention behind them, listen to hear more about releasing judgement and living with more intentionality - in a way that honours where you currently are.I also go deeper into some ways of identifying, acknowledging and honouring where we are right now. Whether that is a season of winter and contraction or otherwise. This episode is going deeper into my written newsletter post about being good enough which you can read here. And an integration will be coming out for paid subscribers where you can sit with and feel into where you are right now.Check out The Breathing Space newsletter on substackSpace Breathwork website for those interested in my offerings: private breathwork sessions, membership and more Get full access to The Breathing Space at thebreathingspace.substack.com/subscribe

It was like I put on carnival glasses. It was psychedelic. It was like trees were popping out at me. It was like a Tim Burton movie. The texture of tree bark was moving off the tree. It was the most amazing experience of abundance and gratitude.Breathwork can be a powerful experience. When we're engaging in practices like yoga, therapy, mindfulness and others, we're searching for a shift in how we feel. Breathwork helps to find it - by bringing in embodiment.Bringing in safety as we question our beliefs, and making changes, and exploring our relationship with ourselves. Join me and fellow breathwork facilitator Jenny Cheifetz as we discuss practices that help you connect more deeply with yourself and your body. We share how we went from not knowing what the heck breathwork is, to becoming facilitators, and how powerful the experience can be. You can find Jenny on instagram @jentlecoaching or her website.
