Podcasts about Attunement

In this enlightening episode of the "Father and Joe" podcast, hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey dive into the complexities of choice, perception, and how we handle the inevitable storms of life. Set against the backdrop of Pittsburgh's often overcast skies, Joe shares a personal anecdote about making the most out of a rainy day, symbolizing how life's literal and figurative downpours present us with opportunities to grow, adapt, and find joy in unexpected ways.This episode delves deeply into the core of human resilience and spirituality, examining how the nourishment of love impacts our ability to cope with life's challenges. Father Boniface introduces the concept of 'attunement', highlighting the importance of emotional co-regulation and entering into others' pain with empathy and understanding. The conversation evolves into a broader discussion on the psychological and spiritual dimensions of facing adversities, such as the trauma of having one's home broken into, and how it relates to our personal identity and security.Joe and Father Boniface provide insightful guidance on how to support those around us who may be suffering, emphasizing the pivotal role of companionship and shared strength. They remind us of the Catholic calling to help and uplift one another, illustrating how positive reinforcement and shared experiences can lead to profound personal transformations.As they explore the nuances of vulnerability, identity, and recovery, listeners are led to reflect on their own relationships with themselves, others, and God. Through this reflection, the hosts offer listeners a renewed sense of hope and a roadmap for navigating life's turbulent moments with grace and faith.Join Father Boniface and Joe Rockey as they offer spiritual direction and practical advice in building stronger personal and spiritual unions, fostering a supportive community, and empowering listeners to see the 'rain' in their lives not as a hindrance, but as an opportunity for love and learning.Tags:renewal, spirituality, faith, resilience, compassion, attunement, emotional regulation, personal growth, spirituality growth, overcoming adversity, empathy, understanding, relationships, self-awareness, spiritual direction, community support, identity, vulnerability, trauma recovery, spiritual growth, Catholic faith, love, nourishment, empathy practice, personal identity, storms of life, spiritual journey, overcoming challenges, mindfulness, inner peace, emotional support, healing, self-improvement, friendship, empathy, overcoming fear, support network, emotional healing, human resilience, faith conversation, personal developmentHashtags:#Renewal #Spirituality #Faith #Resilience #Compassion #Attunement #EmotionalRegulation #PersonalGrowth #SpiritualityGrowth #OvercomingAdversity #Empathy #Understanding #Relationships #SelfAwareness #SpiritualDirection #CommunitySupport #Identity #Vulnerability #TraumaRecovery #SpiritualGrowth #CatholicFaith #Love #Nourishment #EmpathyPractice #PersonalIdentity #StormsOfLife #SpiritualJourney #OvercomingChallenges #Mindfulness #InnerPeace #EmotionalSupport #Healing #SelfImprovement #Friendship #Empathy #OvercomingFear #SupportNetwork #EmotionalHealing #HumanResilience #FaithConversation #PersonalDevelopmentThis line is here to correct the site's formatting error.

In this thought-provoking solo episode of The Yoga Therapy Hour, Amy Wheeler explores the profound topic of safety in human relationships, drawing from recent co-creative discussions with seasoned therapists and yoga practitioners, as well as insights from Polyvagal Theory.Episode Highlights:The Foundation of Healing: Amy emphasizes that safety—both internal and external—is the essential foundation for healing, transformation, and authentic human connection.The Role of Nonjudgment: A central theme of this episode is how nonjudgmental presence, both in therapy and daily life, fosters safety and allows people to open up and be themselves.Artificial Intelligence & Safety: Amy reflects on the surprising role AI therapy bots play in creating a nonjudgmental space, and what this teaches us about human interaction.Key Qualities that Foster Safety:Comfort with silence and emotional presence.Ability to repair ruptures in relationships, not just avoid them.Unconditional positive regard without creating stories about others.Transparency balanced with cultural sensitivity.Openness to new experiences and flexibility in thinking.Clear and honest communication that eliminates guesswork.Self-awareness and the ability to reflect and take responsibility.Consistency, calm regulation, and respect for time and commitments.Attunement to the emotional state of others, with empathetic mirroring.A melodic, regulated voice that supports co-regulation.Genuine listening that seeks to understand, not just respond.Familiar rituals and environments that offer predictable support.Respect for diverse perspectives and willingness to stand up for justice.Key Takeaways:Safety isn't just about avoiding harm; it's about creating conditions where authenticity, trust, and transformation can thrive.Even positive judgments can feel like evaluations, reducing the sense of safety in a relationship.Sacredness in connection—showing up mentally, emotionally, and spiritually prepared—amplifies the healing potential of every interaction.Resources Mentioned:Polyvagal Theory – A framework for understanding how safety and social engagement are wired into our nervous system.Book Recommendation: Necessary Endings by Dr. Henry Cloud – Understanding when and how to bring closure to relationships in a healthy way.Connect with Amy Wheeler: For more episodes, resources, and information about Yoga Therapy, visit TheOptimalState.comSupport the Show: If you found value in this episode, please rate, review, and share it with others who may benefit from these insights into creating safer, more authentic relationships.Master of Science in Yoga Therapy https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/master-of-science-in-yoga-therapy/ Explore MUIH's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals.  https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices/ Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at MUIH: https://muih.edu/academics/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification/

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Dr. Jerry L. Martin talks with Dr. Ray Silverman, a Swedenborgian minister who grew up in a passionately atheist home but always felt a hidden connection to God.From secretly praying under the covers as a child to later discovering Emanuel Swedenborg's writings on eternal marriage and universal salvation, Ray shares how his journey led him beyond traditional religion into a deeply personal spiritual life.Together, Jerry and Ray explore what it means to be spiritual but not religious, how modern revelation continues today, and why spiritual transformation often begins with questioning inherited beliefs. Ray recounts the pain of being disowned by his father when he became a minister, and the joy of finding a faith that embraces love as eternal.They discuss how Swedenborg's teachings align with insights in God: An Autobiography, affirming that God speaks to each person in a way they can understand. Dr. Silverman, author of Rise Above It: Spiritual Development for College Students, also shares how he applies the Ten Commandments in modern life without dogma, helps others overcome “idols” like procrastination, and guides people to attune to divine purpose through everyday moments.Whether you're curious about Swedenborgian theology, interested in modern revelation, or seeking your own spiritual story, this episode offers profound reflections on faith, love, and the ongoing presence of God.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your thoughts or questions at questions@godandautobiography.com

Send us a textSecure attachment forms the foundation for a child's healthy development and shapes how they view themselves, others, and the world. We explore the four key attributes caregivers need to foster secure attachment: being present, attentive, attuned, and responsive.• A secure attachment relationship is defined as one that's "free from danger or risk," creating a healthy and safe space for children• Secure attachment forms when caregivers consistently respond to a child's needs, showing them they are important and valued• Children with secure attachment develop a "secure base" that allows them to explore the world confidently, knowing they have a safe place to return to• Crying at daycare drop-offs can actually indicate healthy attachment – the child wants to be with you and knows you'll return• Being physically and emotionally present is the foundation for all other aspects of secure caregiving• Attentiveness means paying close attention to what your child is doing and learning from their behaviors• Attunement is the ability to accurately read and interpret your child's signals beyond surface behaviors• Responsive caregiving teaches children that they matter and that seeking help is valuable• Play accelerates attachment building – according to Dr. Karyn Purvis, it can cut healing time in half for children from difficult backgrounds• Securely attached children develop powerful internal messages: "I am important," "Others are helpful," and "The world is safe"Join us next week as we discuss avoidant attachment and continue our exploration of attachment styles.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

In this episode, we're diving into the Human Design gates activating in July, and let's just say, there's a lot of root pressure and throat energy in the mix. We explore:- Gate 39 (Provocation) and Gate 38 (The Fighter) — the pressure to poke, provoke, and push for meaning - Gate 53 (Beginnings) and Gate 54 (Ambition) — initiating energy and the drive to rise - Gate 62 (Details) and Gate 61 (Mystery) — logic vs. inner truth and the tension between facts and wonder - Gate 56 (Storytelling) and Gate 60 (Limitation) — how we communicate meaning and what grounds it - Gate 31 (Leadership) and Gate 41 (Imagination) — holding a vision and leading with purpose - Gate 33 (Privacy) and Gate 19 (Attunement) — reflection, boundaries, and sensing who's truly aligned Key themes: pressure, clarity, emotional reactivity, timing, truth, and collective leadership.This month asks for discernment, not reaction.

Motherhood demands that we see the beauty and the lessons in the micro moments that most people take for granted while mindlessly scrolling on their phones, rushing out the door, or even when they're physically present but mentally checked out. The magic of motherhood happens in the quotidian, mundane, messy interactions, not in the elaborate, grand gestures.The spiritual calling of motherhood is available to every mother; the question is, is every mother ready to answer its call? When our frenetic society obsessed with metrics, productivity, efficiency, and jam-packed schedules is telling us to do more and be more, that should be our cue to slow down and be nowhere else but present. If we aren't really present for our kids, then what is the point of all of this anyway? What magical, picture-perfect moment are we trying to fast forward to, and why does our culture laud business as if there is no higher honor to achieve? Join just the two of us as we reflect upon how each of us is deepening our response to the spiritual calling of motherhood.Resources + Books Mentioned: Rebecca Giannini - The Present Parents Coaching (code MOTR saves you 15%)Scattered Minds by Dr. Gabor Mate, MDThe Conscious Parent by Dr. Shefali Tsabary, MDThe Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents by Deepak ChopraSupport the showJOIN OUR NEW, PRIVATE COMMUNITY!

Happy Satiated Saturday! Making friends as an adult can be hard! Not only can it be difficult to find people you truly connect with, but it can also be hard to put yourself out there when you've experienced trauma in relationships with others. There can be fear that you will be hurt again, as you were in the past. Yet, while trauma can occur in relationships, healing relational wounds can occur in relationships with others as well. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Kymber Maulden, Nutrition Consultant and Neurosomatic Trauma Coach, about: The exclusion of women-centered research on healthThe role of safety and connection in food and trauma recoveryThe impact of loneliness on healthRebuilding connections after experiencing traumaSetting boundaries and growing in personal agencyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​. I hope you enjoy this week's episode and email me anytime if there is a topic you'd like me to cover on the podcast. With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Kymber: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kymbermaulden/Website: www.kymbermaulden.com Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2418898Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Why is it that sometimes the things that are supposed to help us feel calm actually make us feel more anxious instead? In this mini-episode, Dr. Aimie explores why this happens, expanding on her conversation with Dr. Sue Carter from Episode 125. She answers therapist Sarah's question about why some people struggle with relaxation techniques and reveals the surprising science behind it. You'll hear more on: Why oxytocin is called "nature's fire extinguisher" and how it helps you heal How oxytocin and vasopressin work together (not against each other!) Why past difficult experiences can make your body think "quiet time" is dangerous How your brain's control center decides if you're safe or not Simple ways to feel safer in your body before trying relaxation techniques If you're a practitioner working with clients who struggle with calming techniques or if you've ever wondered why meditation or mindfulness makes you feel worse instead of better, this episode explains what's happening in the body and gives practical ways to work with it instead of against it. To hear the full episode and learn more about how stress hormones affect healing, head over to Episode 125: Why the Mind & Body Can't Heal Without Oxytocin with Dr. Sue Carter.

Meaningful relationships are mutual. Balanced with give and take, equal influence between partners, and a vibrant dance of loving responsiveness and caring attention.Marriage and Family Therapist and professor Dr. Jessica ChenFeng is calling us toward a more justice-oriented approach to relationships and to mental health and well-being, She invites us to open-hearted and empathic perspective taking, and seeking an integrated wholeness that incorporates all of who we are—highlighting the gift of mutuality in our most intimate relationships in marriage and family life.In this conversation with Jessica ChenFeng, we discuss:The importance of integrated and whole experience of ourselves—allowing racial, gender, and cultural identities to weave together in our sense of vocation and contribution to the worldThe importance of mutuality in relationships—but particularly in marriage and family systems.The ways emotional power flows in a relationship and impacts marriage and family dynamicsThe difference between partners focusing on meeting their individual needs and caring for the health of an intimate relationshipAnd she offers a guided practical exercise to help us lovingly notice and accept our inner experience with a heart open to justice, vulnerability, and the reminder that we are beloved in the eyes of God.Episode Highlights"Systems of power harm everyone—and to live life to the full, we have to see each other fully.""I believe our move toward life to the full requires us to see the world through a third-order lens: not just family systems, but the racial, gender, and societal systems they exist within.""Mutuality means not just expressing our needs but being willing to be changed by the needs of others.""If we're not attuned to the pleasant sensations in our bodies, we miss the invitations to thrive.""Cultural norms are not God-given realities; they are social constructs we are invited to discern and transform.""Knowledge without authentic relationship keeps us from truly seeing the embodied experiences of others."Helpful Links and ResourcesCheck out the programs in Marriage & Family Therapy at Fuller School of Psychology www.fuller.edu/school-of-psychology/Fuller Asian American Center aac.fuller.edu/Socio-Emotional Relationship Therapy (SERT) OverviewCircle of Care Model ExplainedPositive Psychology and EmotionsJeanne Tsai's Research on Culture and EmotionAsian American Values Scale ReferenceRace and Trauma ResourcesJeanne Tsai's research on culture and emotion – Stanford SPARQJohn and Julie Gottman Relationship ResearchAsian American Values Scale – Paniagua & Yamada (Academic resource)Show NotesJessica ChenFeng shares her "yes and" identity as a second-generation Taiwanese American grounded in both math and creativity.How earthy aesthetics and connection to nature shape Jessica's professional and personal flourishing.The integration of Christian faith with clinical work at Fuller Seminary."Seeing systems of systems" — why thriving requires understanding how race, gender, and cultural forces shape individuals and families.Introduction to socio-emotional relationship therapy (SERT) and the value of mutuality in relationships.Defining mutuality: mutual attunement, mutual influence, mutual vulnerability, and mutual relational responsibility."Mutuality asks: Are both people tending to the relationship itself?"Practical signs of mutual and non-mutual relationships, including emotional attunement and willingness to be influenced.The importance of humility and relational awareness in building mutual relationships.The Circle of Care model: cultivating healthy relational dynamics through attunement and responsiveness.Discerning relational power dynamics in marriages, friendships, and work relationships."Thriving is an open heart, even on a stressful day."How emotional self-control in Asian American cultures is often rooted in relational ethics, not personal repression.The risk and gift of navigating cross-generational emotional communication in immigrant families.Differentiated selfhood: balancing authenticity with cultural respect in relational dynamics.Race, culture, and relational healing: why systems of privilege harm everyone."Love your neighbor as yourself" as an ethic for mutual flourishing across racial and cultural difference.Building trust by leaning into discomfort and courageous conversations.The need for embodied encounters with real people beyond theories of race and difference.Mindfulness practice: Jessica leads a guided exercise in attuning to pleasant sensations in the body.The transformational power of positive emotions and embodiment for creativity and resilience.The relational impact of systemic racialization and why "colorblindness" fails to honor real lived experience.Final reflections: How knowing who we are through systemic and relational lenses allows deeper thriving.Pam King's Key TakeawaysEach of us in the human family is a beloved child of God—and we need to continue to shape society to reflect this foundational truth.The path to meaning and fulfillment in a relationship starts with noticing and acknowledging the flow of emotional power, and its destination is mutuality and humilityThriving means incorporating all of who we are—our heritage and histories especially—into our love of ourselves, our love of others, and love of God.Our intimate relationships need care and attention as a third reality beyond our selves and our partners.And finally, thriving means opening our hearts each day, connecting our inner and relational realities, and learning to love patiently the multitudes we all contain.About Jessica ChenFengDr. Jessica ChenFeng is Associate Professor at the School of Psychology & Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Seminary, and is also Director of the Asian American Well-being Collaboratory at Fuller's Asian American Center.

Attunement invites us to listen deeply not only to others but also to ourselves. But what, really, does it mean to attune? How does it work? What happens when you're attuned? In this episode of The Art of Accomplishment, Tara Howley sits down with Janine Parziale to deep dive into the practice of attunement and discuss:How attunement differs from basic active listeningRecognizing when we are genuinely attuned versus disconnected from ourselves and othersPractical ways attunement can improve communication and relationships in both personal and professional contextsHow attunement can transform conflicts and challenging dynamics into deeper connectionsThe risks and rewards of deep attunementSend us your questions on Twitter, through our website, or in our Circle community! Joe on X: @FU_JoeHudson Brett on X: @airkistler AOA on X: @artofaccomp Visit Us: www.artofaccomplishment.com We invite you to experience our work.

Whether you're hoping to improve your marriage, deepen your self-awareness, or finally feel safe in love, this episode meets you right where you are. Inner Child Healer Tami Schiltz joins forces with psychotherapist, sex educator, and relationship coach Christie Bemis to unpack the real reasons relationships feel stuck—and how inner child work can unlock lasting connection, communication, and emotional safety. You'll learn how childhood patterns sneak into adult relationships, how to identify your adaptive child responses, and why being triggered is actually an invitation to heal—not a red flag. We also break down Christie's SPARCS relationship assessment tool (Safety, Play/Pleasure, Attunement, Realized Dreams, Communication, and Sex/Intimacy), and the 5 losing strategies that sabotage connection: withdrawal, retaliation, controlling, needing to be right, and unbridled self-expression.

Übereinstimmung in der Bindungstheorie bezieht sich auf das Maß, in dem eine primäre Bezugsperson feinfühlig und angemessen auf die Signale, Bedürfnisse und Emotionen des Kindes eingeht In meiner Philosophie der körperzentrierten Energie- und Frequenzarbeit bedeutet das: hat unser System jenes energetische Setting erhalten, das es gebraucht hätte, um eine sichere Bindung zu sich selbst aufzubauen oder mussten wir lernen, uns von uns selbst abzuspalten, um Bindung zu erfahren? Ich wünsche dir von Herzen, dass du von Menschen umgeben bist, die sich auf dich "attunen" können. Doch ein gewisses Maß an Nachnährung und Selbst-Attunement muss grundsätzlich in uns selbst geschenen (was so vielen High Sensitives schwerfällt) und diese Session unterstützt dich bei diesem körper-energetischen "Self-Attunement"!

Corey Costanzo is the Co-Owner of Asheville's Still Point Wellness Spa, a licensed addiction counselor, trauma specialist, licensed massage therapist, master didgeridoo player, colleague, and my good friend. In this episode, Corey and I have a conversation about mind reading. Mind reading is a cognitive distortion where individuals believe they can accurately guess or know what others are thinking or feeling without direct communication. In relationships, this often involves making assumptions about a partner's thoughts, feelings, or intentions based on minimal or ambiguous cues. Attunement is different than mind reading, which we elaborate on.

In this episode, I'm speaking to fellow yoga teachers who might feel a bit stuck after their initial 200-hour training. These feelings of limitation can be frustrating, but they can be important milestones on our journey to becoming therapeutic yoga teachers. I break down this growth into five stages: Awareness, Assessment, Adaptation, Attunement, and Application. Each is a blend of technical skills and emotional growth, all aimed at helping us support students dealing with pain or movement issues more effectively. I truly believe in the power of embracing vulnerability and committing to lifelong learning. So, if you're looking to deepen your practice and make a bigger impact, I'm here to offer guidance and encouragement.

In this episode of the Complicated Kids Podcast, I talk with Rebekah Marler, a former school principal and current parent to a neurodivergent child, about how her experience challenged everything she thought she knew about development and learning. She shares how traditional milestone-based approaches failed her son and how discovering practices like floor time and Anji Play helped her reconnect with joy, regulation, and intuition. We explore the process of unlearning “educator brain,” the importance of co-regulation, and how her family transformed their North Carolina backyard into a self-directed play haven—mud pits and all—reminding us that real growth often starts with play.   To find out more about Rebekah, visit her website at www.playshire.org.

Dr. Ryan Seedall draws on his 20+ years of experience as a therapist to share insights about relationship conflict patterns and the role of attachment in marriage dynamics. He provides practical pointers to strengthen marriage connections, including how to navigate the demand-withdraw cycle and use anger productively.• Healthy marriages require not just absence of negative interactions but presence of positive ones• Couples need to recover from conflict, not just learn how to argue better• The demand-withdraw pattern creates a cycle where one person's behavior triggers the exact response they're trying to avoid• "Signal and respond" describes how partners communicate needs and respond to each other• Anger serves as a protest signal that something needs attention, not necessarily a destructive force• Technology creates new challenges for couples, with text arguments losing crucial nonverbal cues• Mixed-faith marriages require special navigation of differing beliefs and values• Early intervention is crucial - addressing small issues before they become entrenched patterns• Attunement to partner's emotional state builds trust and connection• Vulnerability, when met with responsiveness, creates deeper intimacyRemember, it's the small things that create a stronger marriage connection.

In this episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson sits down with Leana Tank, an occupational therapist from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and an accomplished horsewoman specializing in equine-assisted services and behavioral health. Leana works with individuals at the extreme end of the mental health continuum—people coming from psychiatric hospitals and the criminal justice system, many diagnosed with schizophrenia, cognitive impairments, autism, and complex trauma.Through her radical acceptance, sensory-based therapy, movement integration, and nature-centered approaches, Leana redefines how we think about healing, trauma, and society's marginalized populations. Her work invites us to reconsider the humanity, sensitivity, and resilience of individuals often deemed "other."

This episode is almost a mini workshop.. At the heart of my work- both personally and in my business, is a living, breathing practice of attuning to what wants to emerge. In this episode, I invite you into a conversation that's been foundational for me, one that many of you may already know through nature, intuition, or psychic training. This episode is here to help you reorient back to your truth. To remember who you are beneath the noise. To plug back into the frequencies that nourish your soul and your creative path.It's a transmission about listening. Listening to your body. Listening to your business. Listening to the spirit of the path that chose you. I speak to the conversations that awaken us-not the surface-level, world chatter, but the kind of soul dialogue that only happens when people are brave enough to go deeper. To orient to something unseen. To serve something real.We talk about business as a plant spirit. Entrepreneurship as the modern-day medicine path. Your creations as living beings with their own will and way. We speak to the journey of becoming the vessel- of weaving with the spirit of your work, not just executing a plan.We talk about what happens when your creation starts to feel like tin foil- shiny and far-reaching but unable to hold any real weight. That's how the spirit of my business, Wellness Weaver, started showing up to me. Stretched too thin. Reflective of everyone else's needs, but disconnected from her own root.If you've been feeling like your offerings are shimmering but fragile, like they've lost the density or stability to hold the weight of what you're truly here to do- this one's for you.This episode is an invitation to re-weave. To honor the natural intelligence of what wants to be created through you. To come back to what already lives in your body. To trust that your business didn't choose you to burn you out- it chose you to become more of yourself.If you've been waiting for a sign to clarify, simplify, and refocus your energy- this is it. This is a call to come home to the roots, the soil, the stillness where true creation begins.Find me on instagram: ⁠@WellnessWeaver⁠ Current Offerings: ⁠Wellness Weaver Offers⁠ Join the newsletter: ⁠The Letters⁠

Why is attunement the heart of the therapeutic relationship? In this episode, Lisa Dion explores why simply following a script or checklist in play therapy isn't enough—true transformation happens when we deeply attune to our clients (and ourselves).

This week's show is with Michael Perez. Michael didn't just learn the standard toolkits – he hit their limits early on (back in the 90s!) and dedicated years to figuring out *what really works* at the deepest levels of the human mind, modeling the true masters like Erickson beyond the textbook explanations. When the neuroscience revolution hit, he wasn't just an observer; he was actively integrating groundbreaking discoveries about the brain, the unconscious, and trance states into a *unified field theory* of change while mainstream psychology was still catching up. His exploration wasn't just academic; studies in Aikido, Zen, anthropology, and primatology revealed the power of primal states modern life forces us to forget. Then, facing a potentially career-ending physical crisis that left him crippled and in constant pain, he didn't just cope – he *innovated*. Using his unique synthesis of neuroscience and hypnosis, he developed new techniques *on himself* to overcome the pain and retrain his body, proving the power of the mind-body connection in the most demanding way possible. This crucible forged the core of the "Neuron Code." Decades of international training, coaching C-suite leaders, pioneering remote work, and deep cultural immersion haven't just given him experience; they've given him unparalleled insight into *how humans actually operate* beneath the surface. In this conversation, Lian is joined by Michael to explore the deeper roots of human communication… not just as a tool of language, but as a primal, somatic inheritance. Together, they trace the evolution of how we've spoken, felt, and connected through time - from the open plains of early endurance hunting to the quiet, intuitive knowing between two bodies in a room. Michael shares captivating insights into our pre-linguistic ways of relating, where emotional resonance, body awareness, and subtle mirroring were our first languages. Lian reflects on childhood memories of communicating wordlessly with other children, inviting listeners to remember a time when connection didn't rely on words, but on presence, attunement, and instinct. Together, they explore why this deeply embodied intelligence still lives within us… and why we so often forget to listen to it. As the episode unfolds, they reflect on how language, while powerful, can become a distraction from what's most true. Listeners are guided through the journey of learning to feel again: how to notice what your body knows, how to ‘reproduce someone else's inner world' within yourself, and how to return to the state of flow that lives beneath overthinking. The conversation asks the deeper question: what might happen if we let ourselves communicate as humans… not just as heads on sticks? We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: How emotional intelligence and body awareness are the original languages of human connection, long before words came online Why your body often “knows” the truth before your mind can explain it, and how to trust that knowing in conversation The journey from conscious effort to unconscious competence… and why getting worse at communication might be the sign you're about to get much better Resources and stuff spoken about: Michael's Website Join UNIO, the Academy of Sacred Union.

In this episode, I explore how our bodies talk to us through pain, fatigue, and other symptoms. I stress how crucial it is to pay attention to those subtle hints before they blow up into bigger problems. I introduce what I call the "cycle of endurance," where we often push through little discomforts, which can lead to more serious issues down the line. I encourage you to see these moments as chances for growth and to build a kind and understanding relationship with your body. By tuning into these signals, you can help your body heal and recover, turning pain into a journey of self-discovery and better health.

In this episode, Dr. Kelly Casperson and Dr. Emily Jamea discuss the evolution of sexual satisfaction, exploring the concept of 'good enough sex' and the pursuit of deeper intimacy through the flow state. They emphasize the importance of safety, communication, and connection in relationships, while addressing common barriers to sexual desire such as complacency and societal expectations. The conversation highlights the need for couples to actively engage in their sexual lives and prioritize emotional safety to enhance their experiences. In this conversation, Emily Jamea and Kelly Casperson, MD, explore the intricate dynamics of relationships, focusing on the concept of flow state, the importance of preparation and communication, and the impact of self-identity on sexual expression. They discuss how reconnecting with innate qualities can enhance intimacy, the role of novelty and curiosity in maintaining desire, and the balance between connection and independence in relationships. The conversation emphasizes the significance of touch and the need for effective communication to foster deeper connections. Takeaways Dr. Jamea's book offers a next-level perspective on sexual satisfaction. The honeymoon phase is temporary; couples seek more than just 'good enough' sex. Flow state is crucial for experiencing heightened sexual satisfaction. Safety in relationships is foundational for women to enjoy sex. Communication is key to understanding each partner's needs and desires. Complacency is a major barrier to sexual desire in couples. Sex should be seen as an opportunity for enjoyment, not obligation. Gender socialization impacts women's perceptions of their sexual desires. Attunement between partners enhances sexual satisfaction. Creating rituals for connection can improve intimacy and sexual experiences. Flow state requires a balance of challenge and skill. Too much novelty can lead to anxiety in relationships. Preparation and communication are crucial for intimacy. We are born with qualities that enhance our sexual experiences. Self-identity significantly impacts sexual expression. Novelty in life can enhance sexual experiences. Touch is essential for relationship satisfaction. Emotional connection is vital for sexual desire. Gentle communication can improve intimacy. Understanding dynamics of desire can enhance relationships.
