Dissociation isn't a personal failure, it's your mind's brilliant survival strategy when trauma overwhelms your system. The mind and body intentionally separate during abuse, creating distance like a referee stopping a brutal boxing match, but this protective mechanism can persist long after you're safe. You learn what it means when your body won't feel what your mind knows is true, why safer people trigger more alarm bells than dangerous ones, and how trauma flip-flops your natural safety detection system. Through five embodiment exercises, you practice reuniting fragmented parts by feeling baby smiles, warm morning rituals, pet devotion, music's beat, and uncontrollable laughter. Integration requires strength training your emotional muscles through repetition, moving wisdom from head knowledge down into body knowledge where real healing lives. This reintegration work isn't optional if you're now in safer circumstances with adult choices available, because continuing to live by what abusers taught your nervous system means they're still abusing you today.

I did an interview with Raag Harshavat, AR Developer Relations at Snapchat, at Snap's Developer Conference of Lensfest. See more context in the rough transcript below. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with author and transformation coach Chandra Lynn about her framework Root to Rise: How to Love Life. Chandra breaks down the five “root” areas (health, relationships/self, career, friends, family) and the six human needs adapted from Maslow to show how high achievers and everyday people get stuck in survival mode—and how to shift into purposeful, balanced living. You'll learn practical tools like the Emotional Triad, simple journaling prompts (“What do I want? Why do I want it? What am I willing to do about it?”), and how defining your taproot (your why) becomes fuel for resilient action. About the guest : Chandra Lynn is the author of Root to Rise: How to Love Life, a certified transformation coach, and founder of GlowLiving. After 25 years leading marketing for brands like Apple and Mercedes, she built a method blending human needs psychology with soulful practices to help people cultivate resilience, balance, and purpose. Key takeaways: Root to Rise framework: Balance five roots—health, relationship/self, career, friends, family—then align them with six human needs to exit survival mode and create fulfillment. Six human needs (adapted): Security/certainty, variety, connection/intimacy, growth, significance/self-worth, and transcendence/contribution. From overwhelm to clarity: Use three prompts—What do I want? Why do I want it? What am I willing to do about it?—to prioritize healthy, meaningful action. Emotional Triad tool: Shift state by changing (1) physiology (move, breathe, sunlight), (2) focus (gratitude, possibility), and (3) meaning/self-talk (be your own best friend). Taproot = your why: Identify the deeper motivation that sustains momentum when discipline fades (e.g., showing up as the best parent/leader/creator). Embodied signals: Survival mode shows up as tension, sleep and appetite swings; fulfillment feels balanced, energized, and self-supportive. Journal to integrate: Ask great questions, write first, analyze later—let insight surface before you optimize. Update the blueprint: Release outdated childhood expectations; define success on present values, not social comparison.

What if everything you thought you knew about yoga's history was only part of the story?In this powerful conversation, yoga educator and researcher Anjali Rao joins Hannah to explore the roots of yoga that are often left out of modern narratives. From her personal journey as a cancer survivor to her deep dive into philosophy, caste, and patriarchy, Anjali invites us to see yoga not as a single tradition, but as a tapestry shaped by countless voices, movements, and histories.Together, they unpack common myths about yoga's origins and discuss what it really means to practise with awareness of culture, context, and power.In this episode:Anjali's story of rediscovering yoga after surviving breast cancerWhy yoga has never been a monolithThe myth of “yoga as union” and what the teachings really point toHow caste, gender, and power dynamics shape modern yoga spacesWhy it's time to question what we've been taught about yoga's originsThis episode will challenge what you think you know and open new ways of seeing yoga's depth and diversity.About AnjaliAnjali Rao is a yoga educator-practitioner whose work deconstructs the dynamics of power in yoga with a multidisciplinary approach integrating philosophy, art and history.

Time isn't just something we measure — it's something we feel.In this episode, Joanne Avison explores how the Law of Three reveals deeper layers of time, fascia, and awareness. Moving beyond linear thinking, she reflects on how the body experiences past, present, and “pre-sent” time through the fascia — the connective tissue that unites structure, sensation, and consciousness.Through her signature fascia-informed perspective, Joanne invites you to explore how presence, patience, and embodied awareness open a gateway to spiritual insight and healing. It's a journey through the science and soul of time — and how the body itself holds ancient wisdom.In this episode: Understanding the Law of Three through fascia and time How the body remembers and reshapes past experience Fascia as the living bridge between matter and awareness The role of mindfulness and somatic therapy in healing Embodied awareness and the mystery of “pre-sense” Awakening presence through spiritual embodiment Explore more at https://myofascialmagic.com#mindfulness #spiritualawakening #somatictherapy #healingjourney #spiritualawareness #fasciaflowSIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective' and pop in your details.

Empowered Relationship Podcast: Your Relationship Resource And Guide
Ever feel like you know all the “right” things to do in a relationship, but when the moment comes, your body is flooded with stress, your voice tightens, or you just shut down? Many of us long for deep connection and trust, but when life gets real, our nervous system can hijack our best intentions. The invisible forces of old wounds, protective patterns, and the lightning-fast reactions of our bodies can make true safety in love feel just out of reach. In this episode, you'll discover practical ways to bridge the gap between knowing and feeling safe and connected with your partner. Drawing on insights from attachment and polyvagal theory, somatic psychology, and real-world relationship experiences, the conversation sheds light on what “embodied safety” truly means—and why it's the foundation for intimacy, trust, and even passion. Listeners will come away with tools to notice their body's cues, co-regulate with a partner, and develop relational intelligence that supports lasting, resilient love—even when challenges arise. Aubrey Aust is a writer and master's candidate at NYU studying relational psychology and philosophy. Her work explores how emotional safety, embodiment, and relational intelligence shape intimacy and trust. Drawing from attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and somatic psychology, Aubrey helps individuals and couples understand how to build safety in relationships through both the mind and the body. She is passionate about making complex psychological insights practical, soulful, and deeply human. Episode Highlights 08:38 How our bodies subconsciously sense safety or danger in relationships. 10:32 The importance of nonverbal cues and body sensations in emotional communication. 16:50 Identifying and changing self-protective behaviors that block intimacy. 19:10 Accessing vulnerability for co-regulation. 21:54 How consistency shapes true relational growth. 26:32 Navigating the tension between meeting others' needs and self-care in daily life. 28:08 How curiosity about intense emotions can help heal shame and estrangement. 32:04 How understanding core needs brings freedom and new options in relationships. 35:17 Rewiring your reactions: How noticing your nervous system transforms relationships. 38:39 How small shifts in attention can instantly calm your nervous system. 41:30 Unlocking the power to heal and evolve through relationship challenges. Your Check List of Actions to Take Take conscious pauses to slow down and deepen your breath, helping you regulate stress and become more present in relationships. Practice tuning into your bodily sensations during interactions—notice tension, breath patterns, or relaxation—to better understand your felt sense of safety. Build somatic awareness by gently observing your physical reactions when you feel unsafe or activated, such as tightness, speeding up, or shutting down. Create check-in rituals with your partner to attune to each other's nervous system cues, like noticing changes in body language, tone, or energy. Normalize and expect moments of rupture or conflict, and view them as opportunities to build relational trust through repair and open communication. Get curious about your protective patterns (such as people-pleasing, avoidance, or hyper-independence) and consider when they may no longer serve intimacy. Use subtle self-regulation techniques in social situations, like grounding your feet, gently pressing your fingers together, or scanning the room to calm your nervous system. When you feel dysregulated in a conversation, ask clarifying questions or take a brief pause to gather yourself instead of reacting from a place of activation.

The Spiritual Practice That Literally Saved My Life with Regan Caruthers The Spiritual Practice That Saved My Life with Regan Caruthers What if the path to real success wasn't money, titles, or material possessions—but the ability to connect with your heart, shift your energy, and live in coherence? In this episode of Richer Soul, Regan Caruthers shares her remarkable journey from Silicon Valley executive to yoga teacher and spiritual guide—and how a daily practice of devotion and gratitude literally saved her life. Key Lessons: Money Doesn't Equal Meaning. Growing up between a wealthy but absent father and a struggling mother, Regan saw firsthand that money doesn't guarantee happiness. We Are Programmed—But We Can Reprogram. From education to cultural conditioning, much of what we believe isn't ours. Regan challenges us to reclaim sovereignty. HeartMath Made Simple. Regan explains coherence: 5/5 breath through the heart while recalling gratitude. This physiological shift unlocks higher reasoning and emotional balance. Listening to the Inner Voice. A trusted inner voice told Regan to return to St. Louis—leading her to the hospital that saved her life. Discipline and Devotion Over Distraction. Phones, screens, and noise steal our attention. Regan reminds us that devotion requires time reclaimed for silence, meditation, and love. Gratitude Shifts Energy. Listing what you're grateful for isn't enough—you must feel it. Embodied gratitude changes your frequency. Eternal Perspective Reframes Fear. Recognizing our divine and eternal nature removes the grip of fear and redefines how we live. Money Learning: Regan Caruthers shares how growing up between extremes of wealth and scarcity taught her that money doesn't guarantee happiness—and that true success comes from coherence, gratitude, and devotion. A former Silicon Valley executive turned spiritual teacher, Regan explains how practices like HeartMath, meditation, and embodied gratitude rewire our inner operating system, helping us move beyond programming, distraction, and fear. Her story—including how listening to an inner voice literally saved her life—reminds us that while money provides security, it is meaning, discipline, and divine connection that create true wealth. Key Takeaway: Success without coherence is empty. True wealth comes from disciplined devotion, daily gratitude, and listening to the inner voice that knows the way. Guest Bio: Regan Caruthers began her path with meditation and Tai Chi at the age of three, but rejected her early training in pursuit of worldly success. She rose quickly as a Silicon Valley corporate executive in educational software, but achievements couldn't heal the brokenness within. Returning to her spiritual roots, she dedicated her life to teaching discipline, devotion, and conscious connection. Today she is the founder of Aset Yoga Center in Missouri, offering one-on-one coaching, yoga classes, and her Ready to Awaken courses.

Exploring the science of emotional release and the soul's wisdom within anxiety, rest, and embodiment. In this soul-nourishing episode of Embodied, Anne Bérubé sits down with Dr. Ellen Vora, board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher, and author of The Anatomy of Anxiety. Together, they explore how anxiety is not simply a problem of the mind but a full-body message—a call from within to restore balance, release what's been held, and trust the body's innate wisdom. Dr. Vora explains the science behind emotional tears—how they literally release stress hormones—and shares why rest, receptivity, and intuitive living are essential medicines in a culture that glorifies constant doing. This is a conversation where science meets spirit, reminding us that healing begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening to the body that remembers the way. In this episode:
David Hutchens: Story Dash David Hutchens works with leaders around the world to find, craft, and tell their most urgent stories for the purpose of creating shared meaning, preserving culture, disseminating learning, and speeding change in organizations. He has taught the Storytelling Leader program at some of the most influential organizations, including NASA, Paypal, Loreal Paris, Cisco, Walmart, Google, and FedEx. He's written many books, including the Circle of the 9 Muses, Story Dash, and The Leadership Story Deck. When organizational change is happening, leaders need to be intentional about lining up with culture, especially if it's the time to shift that culture just a bit. We often do the logistics well, but we miss the power of both the human and emotional connections. In this episode, David and I discuss how story can help us make a meaningful shift. Key Points The organizations that are being intentional about culture are also being intentional about story. Getting beyond the logistics of changes and leaning first into humanity and emotion help people frame cultural shifts. Leaders go first. Embodied stories from leaders are surprising, counter-cultural, and repeatable. Asking for stories is rarely sufficient. Instead, invite stories through intentional prompts like, “Tell me about a time you felt more engaged, alive, and happiest in your work here.” Received stories are the ones told by employees. Adding an emotion word to an invitation such as, “What's a time you were proud?” often surfaces more genuine stories. David is now a Coaching for Leaders expert partner.

Something is coming: https://lectern.johnvervaeke.com/p/whatnext What if mastery isn't about perfection—but about transformation? In this episode of The Lectern, John Vervaeke is joined by Ethan Hsieh to explore how the cultivation of virtuosity—typically associated with the arts—can become central to philosophical and existential growth. Ethan introduces his Tiamat process, a three-tier developmental framework integrating performance training, cognitive science, and dialogical practice. Together, they explore what it means to live a deliberately developmental life, moving beyond therapy into embodied transformation. Ethan draws from his background in acting, pedagogy, and philosophy to offer a new model of self-cultivation rooted in agency, feedback, metacognition, and trust. Ethan Hsieh is a facilitator, educator, and philosophical practitioner whose work bridges performance, cognition, and transformative pedagogy. As the creator of the Tiamat process, he integrates insights from embodied practice, developmental psychology, and dialogical philosophy to help individuals cultivate virtuosity as a way of life.

Construction veteran and certified polyvagal professional Josh Durham returns to explore “embodied safety” — a whole-person approach that connects physical, psychological, and physiological safety. He and host Brandon Laws discuss why practices beat policies, how simple sensory cues (calm voice, clear signage, clean spaces, brief breathing drills) help teams operate in a focused “play zone,” and practical steps leaders can use to build respectful worksites that improve retention, decision-making, and outcomes. Key Timestamps 00:00 — Welcome & sponsor; why embodied safety matters beyond “hard hats and harnesses.” 02:20 — Defining embodied safety: physical, psychological, and physiological components. 03:50 — Industry context: advances in physical safety, rise of mental health focus, and the “leading-edge” physiological piece. 04:55 — A pivotal harassment incident: why leaders must assume unseen risks exist on every site. 06:40 — The “hidden staircase”: universal human drivers—survive, belong, become. 08:10 — Leading individuals at scale: meeting core needs and empowering “ambassadors.” 10:05 — Practices vs. policies: proactive habits that build trust, health, and productivity. 12:00 — Implementing respectful worksite programs (Green Dot/Rise Up), aligning physical safety, and physiological cues. 13:10 — Start with a real “why,” expect resistance, recruit influential change ambassadors, iterate openly. 15:30 — Overcoming “HR fluff” perceptions; tying respectful work to productivity, quality, safety, profits, and retention. 17:10 — The change curve: guiding people from shock/denial to curiosity and commitment. 19:30 — Polyvagal basics: the vagus nerve as the body's safety signal network. 21:20 — From fight/flight/freeze to the “play zone”: operating in an activated-but-safe state. 24:40 — Practical cues leaders can use: calm tone, visual grounding, clean/organized spaces, belonging at first contact. 26:10 — Breathing as the controllable lever of the autonomic nervous system; simple stretches and breath work. 30:10 — Retention, productivity, legal and injury risks when safety isn't embodied. 32:30 — Respect as default: people bring invisible burdens through the gate every day. 35:00 — First steps: clarify your “why,” name bad habits, identify change ambassadors, and frame a simple plan. 36:30 — Resources and contact; closing.

She offers practical insights for anyone who feels “too old” or “too uncoordinated” to start exercising, reminding us that every step is stewardship and every movement is worship.Together, Alex and Kim dive into biblical themes of embodied discipleship, the role of Christian music in fitness, and how staying active keeps us strong in both body and spirit. Whether you're walking through grief, leading a class, or just trying to stay consistent, this episode will encourage you to train hard, pray harder, and see your body as a temple to steward, not a problem to fix.

In the words of Timothy Snyder: “Do not obey in advance.” On October 18th, millions of Americans will gather across the nation to say ‘No' to authoritarianism. This episode opens with audio from my solo experience at the first No Kings Protest in Downtown Los Angeles back in June. I share excerpts and offer a felt-sense of peaceful resistance and love in action. Then I take a critical look at 'followership' and at how complacency can be another form of compliance. I tell on myself in this regard; two decades of new age naval gazing taught me to prioritize peace within (aka my personal comfort) over principled insistence upon justice for all. As a lead-in to the next few episodes, I present evidence that debunks the myth of meritocracy, and I question the presumption that leadership is the source of unity and the answer to all of humanity's problems. The episode concludes with a few actions each of us can take to actively question the leader-follower dyad in our everyday lives in real time.Referenced in this episode:On Tyranny, by Timothy SnyderJanaya Future Khan on IGFind a No Kings Protest near youSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

What if the quiet crisis in modern Christianity isn't doubt, but distraction—a version of faith that sounds right and changes little? We go straight at the subtle Gnosticism that still haunts church culture today: the lure of secret knowledge, the shrug toward the physical world, and the fantasy of escape. Then we lay it beside Paul's charge in Romans 12 to offer our bodies as living worship and James's blunt verdict that faith without works isn't weak—it's dead. The result is a practical roadmap for moving from belief to embodiment, from thoughts and prayers to presence and action.Together, we unpack how transformation begins with a renewed mind and shows up in ordinary choices: honest work, patient relationships, quiet generosity, and courage when comfort beckons. We talk about resisting conformity to hustle culture's metrics—money, output, image—and embracing a life that makes no sense apart from God. Along the way, we share concrete next steps: start small and specific, see everyday tasks as altars, draw near to pain instead of outsourcing compassion, and let grace be the source of your doing so burnout doesn't win. The heartbeat is simple: worship is not a playlist or a Sunday hour; it's how we live.Anchored in the incarnation—love with skin on—we remember that Jesus didn't send a concept; he showed up. Communion becomes more than a ritual; it's our reminder that grace is tangible and our invitation to become tangible too. If you're ready to move beyond privatized belief and let the gospel be visible through your hands and feet, this conversation will meet you where you are and nudge you forward.

When you think of activism, what comes to mind? Protests? Petitions? Big, bold gestures of resistance? While those forms of activism are vital, there's another revolution happening in quieter ways — in how we show up in our everyday lives. In this episode, we explore embodied activism — the idea that our healing, our relationships, and the way we move through the world can be one of the most powerful forms of collective change. Together, we'll dive into: Why personal transformation isn't selfish, but a ripple of impact that changes the collective. How the energy we carry in our bodies and relationships contributes to (or shifts) the larger cultural field. How embodying the values we want for the world begins with small, unglamorous daily personal choices. A real life story of how simply carrying ourselves with presence and openness can inspire and uplift others. This conversation is an invitation to reframe how you see your contribution to the world. You don't always need a megaphone or a title to make a difference. Your embodied wholeness — your posture, your presence, your choices, your love — is activism in action. ✨ Tune in to remember: you matter, your energy matters, and the way you live is a quiet revolution with ripple effects far beyond what you may ever see.

If this episode resonates, share it with a friend who could use the reminder that how we show up — in our being, our relationships, our everyday choices — is activism too. The ripples grow stronger together.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Amber Lavin, a relationship coach and founder of True Nature Counseling, to explore the transformative power of mindful and embodied dating. They discuss how our nervous system shapes who we're drawn to, why recognizing dating patterns is the first step toward healing, and how to create authentic, grounded relationships. From attachment theory to swiping fatigue, Amber shares actionable strategies to help you date with self-awareness, intention, and emotional integrity. If you're tired of surface-level connections and want to shift toward conscious love, this episode is for you. About the Guest:Amber Lavin is a relationship coach and counselor based in Asheville, specializing in helping women reclaim their dating lives through mindfulness, embodiment, and emotional healing. Through her work at True Nature Counseling, she helps clients understand their nervous system, shift attachment patterns, and foster deeper, healthier connections. Key Takeaways: Dating patterns often stem from nervous system imprints developed in early life. Embodied dating helps you tune into your body's cues and break cycles of unhealthy attraction. Attachment styles aren't fixed—awareness and self-regulation can help you move toward secure attachment. Dating apps aren't the problem—it's how you use them. Creating rituals around app use can lead to more intentional connections. Chemistry doesn't have to come with chaos; safety and passion can coexist in healthy love.

What if confidence wasn't in your head, but in your posture? In this episode, AJ and Johnny unpack the science of body language and embodied cognition—how standing tall, opening your chest, and taking up space sends powerful signals to your brain and to everyone around you. Backed by psychology research, they show how posture isn't just a reflection of mood—it actively creates it. You'll discover why slumped shoulders and “phone posture” leak low status, while upright, expansive body language instantly boosts mood, confidence, and presence. From the “doorway drill” to quick body checks, AJ and Johnny share practical tools to reset your default signals so you project confidence in every meeting, date, or social interaction—before you even say a word.

When Kit Heyam was first trying to understand their gender identity as an adolescent, they looked to history. But they only found stories that painted a very narrow picture of what it means to be trans. Years later, when Kit started studying history professionally, a different picture emerged. They talk to Anita about the trans histories they found from around the globe and how those stories paint a more diverse and messy picture of the ways people have been pushing the boundaries of gender for millennia.Meet the guest:- Kit Heyam is the author of "Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender"Read the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the biggest breakthroughs in planning don't come from adding more to your plate, but from slowing down and paying attention? In this episode, I'm diving into the magic of presence, posture, and possibility. I talk about how these three simple shifts can totally transform the way you set goals and move through change. Spoiler: it's not just mindset work, it's an embodiment practice. I also get a little personal in this one, sharing some updates about my kids' health journeys and how planning has been a lifeline through the chaos of appointments, worry, and waiting rooms. The truth is, life is always happening around our plans, and learning to approach it all with presence and a new kind of posture has been a game-changer for me. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with small, practical practices to try this week—from micro-moments of presence, to experimenting with new postures toward rest or curiosity, to mapping out fresh possibilities. If you've been feeling stuck, scattered, or like your goals are slipping away, this conversation will help you reconnect with clarity and discover what's possible when you bring both awareness and embodiment into your planning.

What if the “mindset issues” holding you or your clients back aren't mindset issues at all, but signs of energetic misalignment?
