Human Being to Whole Being

A grounded, centred nervous system is a vital foundation to support us in all situations of life. Join Rachel for this 15 minute meditation to help you come back home to you.

Your body holds all the cues for a more aligned, easeful, peaceful and harmonious life. The purpose of life is to be in life, fully. Experiencing it, exploring it, expanding into it. So many of us are so far away from where we want to be - from feeling at our rock bottom "I can't go on like this" to "is this really it" and craving more. The fact is, the deeper connection and alignment you're seeking is guided and communicated through the body. We can't just do more, or do more of what other people are doing. We can't just do the same thing, and hope for different results. Start to listen to the body, it will speak to you. Slowly. Steadily. Surely.

On Perfectionism and Falling in Love with Being Human There is a full human inside of you with all their quirks and oddities But there's also a full soul inside of youAll at the same time _____ This podcast explains the "not enough" wound alongside the strive for perfectionism that can either take the form of very human things like our job and what we look like or can fall under the spiritual guise of becoming a better yogi or meditator or more conscious. Either way, perfectionism is an escape from humanity and an abandoning of our human experience on this earth. We are a whole soul and a whole human. We are both. This podcast explores the magic in both places and how we can fall in love with our humanness. For more ways to work with Rachel, visit www.rachelcruickshank.com or @rachecruickshank_

There is an indescribable inexplicable invisible effect that happens when we "do" from a place of "being". We are human beings, in a physical world. We cannot leave this physical body or this physical earth if we want to create powerful potent change in this world. The true journey of expansion and growth is a journey of integration - integrating our soul with our body, heaven with the earth, source with the mind, feeling with acting, being with doing. It is about bringing all parts of us - the physical and the energetic - into joyful harmony and communion. It is not about doing more, changing what you're doing or knowing what to do, and yet when you tune into your innermost truth and beingness, there is usually a natural peaceful change in what we do, because we are deeply to connected to our energy - our intention, thoughts, feelings, beliefs and knowingness. It is not what you do but how you do it - this is what this episode explores. For all the ways to work with me and find out more about The SOMA Method, click here.

When yrou think of intimacy and relationships, I wonder what instantly comes to mind. This episode is reviewing and reframing that initial thought to bring a perspective that will open our whole lives into a deeper and more connected experience of living, which is truly what we're here for. I speak to many revelations and realisations that I've been journeying with over these last few years to bring you an opportunity to meet yourself and all parts of you in a way you've never before, which will, I hope, allow all the things you've been desiring to magnetise towards you in a way and a time that you can actually give yourself permission to receive them. This starts with intimacy and relationship with ourselves first. For all the ways to work with me and find out more about The SOMA Method, you can head here.

The ability to sit in pain is the ability to sit in pleasure, peace, and power. Does this mean life will always be painful? No, quite the opposite. However, knowing we are safe enough to feel a full spectrum of feelings allows us to build our capacity to experience a greater depth and sensation of life, which means greater pleasure, joy, love, peace and power. If you would like to speak with Rachel about working together, you can book a free call here. If you would like to find out more about ESSENCE, a four week journey into the heart of your being, you can find out more details here. And if you would like to become a SOMA Method Somatic Coach, we are enrolling for our March 2024 offering now.

In today's podcast we dive into Self-Sabotage. In many ways I don't like the word self—sabotage, it's as if we consciously decide, I'm gonna go and fuck shit up today. We don't that isn't what happens. We believe life is going to play out in a certain way. We know it hurts. Feeling all that is overwhelming. We've never been taught to deal with it. So along comes the ego, who actually thinks it's helping us and plays out the subconscious belief of “it does not get to be this good."  You don't have to be living out your past beliefs, stories and perceptions that simply do not exist any more. And yet, they kind of do, because this iceberg of our being is storing it all.  If you would like to find out more about how to work with Rachel and The SOMA Method, please head on over here.

In this episode, Rachel speaks an open letter to all women everywhere. The days of feeling as if you don't belong are gone, the days of stepping into your power are here. The world has taught us separation, we know the pain, the struggle and how hard it can feel to believe you are not good enough. There is a new way, there is a new place. There is a new world where you get to dream into creation everything your heart desires.

You are whole. You have always been whole, complete, one. In your divine and sacred soul essence, you are home. Perfect. You aren't doing anything wrong, it's just life as a human is a bit chaotic and messy sometimes, but you signed up to that. It was part of your path, to experience it all, and in experiencing it all, you get to experience the fullness. The spectacular and extraordinary life. But are you? Or are you stuck in a paradigm of life that tells you the right way, the way you should do it, the way others are doing it. This episode is a reminding and a remembering of your soul's true essence and your sacred and divine nature, and that as you remember that you get to choose the paradigm you live in, the rules you live by.
