You may not know this, but I have been a student of nervous system regulation for several years. When I have faced stress, burnout or other challenges in the past, I thought I could “think” my way out of the issue. I know. It's a silly notion, but it is what served me for years. It's what drove my success. And in 2019, it is what drove my demise in burnout.Burnout was a doorway to curiosity. There had to be a different way to live and work. And I'm learning it involves the regulation and interplay between our minds and bodies. My guest, Jay Fields, and I have known one another for a bit, so I was excited that she joined me for this conversation. During the podcast, Jay and I chatted about: What is the purpose of the nervous system and why is training it to serve us important.Why is it easier to remain in our heads vs. listen to our bodies' signals?What does it mean to be embodied?What is Jay's Overthinking Quiz and why should you take it?The meaning behind Jay's popular phrase and podcast, “Hey Wait.”How we can leverage these learnings to protect our energy.

There are some guests who carry presence before they speak a single word, who feel like a quiet force, more frequency than form. Michelle Argyris is one of those guests.You may know her as an actress, a healer, a guide in the wellness space.

In this illuminating episode of the Modern Mystic Soul Podcast, Therese connects with the Golden Circle Council of Sirius and the Arcturian Council of Light under the clarifying energies of the New Moon in Virgo.This channeling explores the concept of soul embodiment—how our physical bodies are currently holding around 60% of the soul's energy and are learning to expand even further. The Councils explain that temporary sensations like swelling or shifting energy are normal as the soul gains more direct influence over the body during this transformative period.Therese guides listeners to trust the process, care for their physical vessels, and welcome these changes as signs of greater alignment between body and spirit.Want to deepen your own spiritual practice?Join Therese's Spirit Circle for live channelings and guided practices.Work 1:1 with Therese for personalized mentoring sessions to accelerate your soul's growth.

Kelly Kapic - Embodied Hope by Bill and Sandi Griffin

Ryan Kramer was born through an anonymous sperm donor in 1990. By the time he was 2 years old, he already had some big questions about his identity — and the desire to find answers. Ryan's search led him to become the first donor-conceived person to find his parent through DNA testing. He also co-founded the Donor Sibling Registry, an organization that's helped connect tens of thousands of donor-conceived people with biological family. He tells Anita about meeting many of his own genetic relatives and what this journey has taught him about the meaning of those relationships.Meet the guest:- Ryan Kramer, co-founder of the Donor Sibling Registry and the first donor-conceived person to find his parent through DNA testingRead the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied

Dustin Brown – Los Angeles Kings Longtime captain, two-time Cup winner, played entire career with LA. Quiet but fierce leadership. 5.

Beth Graybill and Duane Wilson - Is your spiritual life too spiritual? If the incarnation of Jesus means anything, it's that we don't become holier by being less human. And the abundant life that Jesus came to share with us is one that involves our whole selves as we heal, grow and learn how to flourish. This series will explore some specific examples of a real world spirituality, shared from the experiences of our teachers who are working these things out in real time in their own lives. This week, we learn from the embodied journey of Duane Wilson, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Indiana Corridor (BGNIC). Duane and his team at BGNIC share physical space with SBCC in the Tribune Building as an afterschool club and summer camp site. Beth Graybill, who facilitates this conversation, is not only a part of the South Bend City Church community, but is also a collaborative consultant and storyteller that currently works as the Director of Academic Advancement for Mendoza College of Business & Fitzgerald Institute for Real Estate at the University of Notre Dame.

What do you really want—and how do you even begin to ask for it? In this episode of laidOPEN, I'm joined by somatic sex therapist Susan Morgan Taylor, a healer and teacher who guides people through the often-overlooked terrain of embodied desire. With over 25 years in somatic healing, Susan brings a grounded, intuitive approach to what she calls the Pleasure Keys Process—a set of practices designed to help individuals and couples reconnect with their sensuality, emotional truth, and authentic connection. We dive into how early wounding, stress, and disembodiment can short-circuit intimacy—and what it really takes to come back into alignment with your body and your partner. Susan shares how her background in massage therapy and intuitive healing shaped her path, and offers practical, heartfelt wisdom on navigating low libido, sacred sexuality, and the art of noticing, naming, and negotiating in relationships. Whether you're in a long-term partnership or simply curious about deepening your relationship to pleasure, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and reclaim the wisdom of your body.

Leslie Bayers discusses her chapter in Joy-Centered Pedagogy: The Joy of Embodied Learning on episode 580 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode I certainly wasn't taught body literacy in school, and what I mean by that is how to read the internal signals that the body might be communicating. -Leslie Bayers We feel and think better when we move. -Leslie Bayers I try to get students moving or engaged with sensory textures as much as possible to spark learning. -Leslie Bayers How we feel absolutely shapes if and how we learn. And many of us feel this in our bodies. -Leslie Bayers Learning is incredibly hard work. It's one of the things that does drain the body of energy. -Leslie Bayers Resources Joy-Centered Pedagogy in Higher Education: Uplifting Teaching & Learning for All, edited by Eileen Camfield Katy Bowman Episode 505: How Role Clarity and Boundaries Can Help Us Thrive with Karen Costa Scope of Practice Template, developed by Karen Costa An Educator's Scope of Practice: How Do I Know What's Mine?, Karen Costa's Chapter in Trauma-Informed Pedagogies Bend App 15 Minute Gentle Morning Yoga Catalina: A Novel, by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio On Muscle: The Stuff That Moves Us and Why It Matters, by Bonnie Tsui

In this episode, Luis dives into the developmental trauma of boys -- a continuation of Episode 279: This Is Why I Think P*rnography Is Traumatizing For Developing Boys -- and how they are generally unsupported through puberty.There's a lot of discourse around "toxic males" and problematic men in our society, but not a lot of somatic discussion around how to support young boys in a new way so they can walk a different path: a more embodied one. Luis encourages community building for parents, which is something that's been lost from parenting in isolation, and offers ideas for meeting young male aggression in a way that works for them.  Register here for the upcoming August 9th webinar, "Supporting Boys Through Puberty: Navigating P*rnography, Hormones & Isolation".

A guide to connecting with your deepest ground―a rootedness that supports authentic psychological healing and embodied spirituality“This beautiful and deeply insightful work invites us to reconnect with our true ground―a place of inner stability and peace that lies beyond fear.” ―Tara Brach, author of Radical AcceptanceIn John J. Prendergast's decades of experience as a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, the area of the body that's most difficult for people to connect with, given our survival fear and trauma, is our physical and energetic ground. This area in the lower belly and at the base of the spine corresponds with the root chakra in the Indian subtle body tradition, the lower dan tien in Taoism, and the hara in Japanese martial arts. While most spiritual traditions focus on opening the mind and the heart, they tend to avoid or undervalue the opening of the ground. Prendergast notes, “It remains largely unconscious and deeply defended.”This guide invites you to take a deep dive into your personal, archetypal, and universal ground, and to see through the false ground of your early conditioning and limited identity. Throughout Your Deepest Ground, Prendergast shares:• Profound yet accessible teachings to help you connect with your ground• Sensitive awareness to the trauma we're often holding in this part of our physical and energetic body• Sensing and inquiry practices to work with your own body and life• Authentic anecdotes and conversations drawn from his teaching that show the power of this work in actionBy consciously opening to our ground, we can experience a felt sense of inner safety and stability that supports the full flowering of inner peace, freedom, and loving awareness―a truly embodied spirituality. John Prendergast PhD is a native of the San Francisco Bay Area, a nondual teacher, author, retired psychotherapist. He is also a retired Adjunct Professor of Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies where he taught masters level counseling students for twenty-three years. He studied for many years with the European sage Dr. Jean Klein, as well as with Adyashanti, a well-known spiritual teacher. He was invited to share the dharma by Dorothy Hunt in 2011 and received dharma transmission (authorization to teach) from Adyashanti in 2023. John has been offering residential retreats with his wife, Christiane, since 2015, in both the U.S. and, more recently, in Europe. He also has extensive experience teaching online.

Send us a textToo many transformational programs focus on individual breakthroughs and ignore the collective. But true evolution doesn't happen in isolation—it happens in community. It creates a ripple. And if your personal growth doesn't ripple out into the world, it's not transformation. It's performance.In this unfiltered, truth-telling episode of The Cosmic Valkyrie Podcast, Lynn Louise challenges the self-help industry's obsession with “solo healing” and spiritual bypassing—and invites you into something far more powerful: real, embodied, collective evolution.You'll hear why “just focus on yourself” is an outdated survival mechanism rooted in privilege, not empowerment. And why authentic transformation must engage with the world around you—not escape from it.
