Podcasts about embodied wholeness

This episode features a rich discussion between Ali Mezey and guest Elizabeth Castagna, a certified Alexander Technique instructor. They dive into themes of being conscious as a mover – specifically while walking. Do we feel supported by the Earth as we walk? How safe do we feel as bodies – and how could we feel safer? They also talk about the impact of injury on movement awareness. Ali and Elizabeth discuss how conscious movement can lead to enhanced sensation, and sense of wholeness – not just with yourself but with the world. The conversation touches upon topics such as kinetic chains, compensatory movement patterns, and the psycho-emotional aspects of body awareness. Elizabeth shares personal insights, including her experience with Lyme disease and its effect on her vision. With a focus on cultivating sensitivity and supporting others in their embodiment journeys, the conversation underscores the transformative potential of body-based practices.To be an angel to the podcast, click hereTo read more about the podcast, click hereMORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comMORE ELIZABETH CASTAGNA:The Beacon Walking Lab WorkshopsInstagram: @feellikeyourselfagainPhoto of Elizabeth: David McIntyreThe Alexander Technique is a method of movement education that focuses on improving posture, coordination, and body awareness. Developed by Frederick Matthias Alexander in the late 19th century, it teaches people to recognize and release habitual patterns of tension that interfere with natural movement and breathing. By emphasizing ease and balance, the technique promotes a more effortless way of moving, sitting, and standing, which can reduce pain, improve overall physical functioning, and support mental clarity. It is widely used by performers, athletes, and individuals seeking to reduce stress and enhance body mechanics.BIO:Elizabeth Castagna is certified to teach The Alexander Technique by Alexander TechniqueInternational and received her training with master teacher Chloe Wing in New York City.

That is not how Paul describes it and it isn't really the overall picture in the Gospels so what is salvation?

Pastor Chris leads us to take a look at our physical health in relation to our spiritual health.

Without digging deep within your personal energy, you cannot harness your inner power to unlock your authentic self. Through embodied wholeness, you can manifest all your goals and build better relationships. Baeth Davis explores this topic further with Kendra Cunov, the Founder of the Fierce Grace Incubator. Kendra talks about unleashing intimacy to properly manage personal boundaries, learning how to uphold them and when to cross them. She also shares her No Man Diet that aims to get you out of repetitive and unhealthy relationships. Finally, she explains the Relationship by Design Fundamentals, a course Baeth took herself which focuses on dismissing false beliefs to become more active in handling romantic partnerships.

Finding intimacy with others begins with becoming intimate and honest with ourselves. In this episode with Kendra Cunov, we discuss the difficult habitual patterns we can get into as women seeking comfort and validation from our relationships. After years of dating men who were not fully available to commit to partnership, Kendra decided to take a break from dating and men altogether. She knew this was what she needed to get to the bottom of what was having her stay in deeply unfulfilling dynamics. She made a commitment to get in right relationship with The Masculine, to figure out what she really wanted in a relationship, and to liberate her own desire to love and be loved. Since then, she has worked with thousands of men, women & couples in the areas of embodiment, intimacy, and true self-expression. She also leads a program for women to embark upon a similar journey she went on, called The No-Man Diet. In this conversation we also discuss the energetics behind our actions, and be sure to listen to the end because I love her response when asked, “What advice do you have for a woman feeling dissatisfied with her life right now?” We hope you enjoy the show. In this episode we discussed: Relating to self and the world and how Kendra was drawn to the world of truth-telling and relationships Kendra’s program, “The No Man Diet” and how she’s been helping women release addictive and unhealthy patterns in relationship to men Cultivating intuition and giving ourselves permission to listen to it The energetics behind our actions and why we sometimes say something that is received differently than we expected The journey of finding self worth and learning to value yourself Courage and how to live from a place of authentic self-expression Getting really honest with where you are at and the powerful words of wisdom Kendra has for women feeling dissatisfied in their lives Stay in Touch with Kendra: Website Instagram Stay in Touch with Rising Women Leaders: Patreon Instagram Facebook Group Founder of The Collective: A Global Web of Women Devoted to Embodied Wholeness, Kendra Cunov has been studying, facilitating, and (most importantly) practicing Authentic Relating, Embodiment Practices & Deep Intimacy Work for over fifteen years.

This week's show is with Kendra Cunov, the Founder of Fierce Grace: Practices of Embodied Wholeness for Women, Kendra has been studying, facilitating, and (most importantly) practicing Authentic Relating, Embodiment Practices & Deep Intimacy Work for the last fifteen years. Kendra has worked with thousands of men, women & couples in the areas of embodiment, intimacy, communication & full self-expression. She co-founded Authentic World, as well as The Embodied Relationship & Intimacy Training Salon, and pioneered some of the most cutting edge relation work on the planet. Kendra has consulted for companies such as Genentech & is currently on staff for 4PC, an elite mastermind for the top 4% of coaches in the world. She works with organizations & leaders, as well as men, women & couples, who know that presence, truth, connection & integrity are our truest access points to success - in business & in love. So in this show, we explored the juicy topic of women feeling that their man isn't meeting them, and that they could be warm, loving and open if only their partner was meeting them in all the ways they desire. This is something that Kendra and I see show up so often with our clients but also in ourselves! We then shared some ways to expand past this sense of waiting to be met.   I adored this show, Kendra is such a rare gem and is overflowing with wisdom - I think you're going to love it too.

Ever feel like you just share a brain with some people? That is how I feel about today's guest, Kendra Cunov, who is back for her second time on the show. Her big truth was, "Just moving the body will literally change everything." From there we talked about coming home to ourselves (which by the way caused me to have my biggest Freudian slip on the show ever, it was hilarious), the idea that "it" has to be somebody's fault, our responsibility for others' feelings, internal fundamental wholeness and what healthy love and intimacy actually look like. She also dropped in two big concepts that were so fun to explore: 1) We don't heal by continually putting ourselves in situations that wound us and 2) How to use our own behavior as a barometer in assessing healthy relationships. You'll probably want to listen to this one a few times to get all the nuggets.

Kendra and Giovanna discuss the No-Man Diet. Kendra provides a synopsis of what the No-Man Diet is and how it came to be. Kendra discusses the awarenesses that led her to complete her own No-Man Diet. There are two camps of women when it comes to facing a period of not dating. Learn why there’s a difference between making a conscious choice not to date and not dating because of a lack of opportunity. Discover the two pieces that commonly come up during the No-Man Diet. Learn how to assess whether you could benefit from a relationship detox. Kendra and Giovanna discuss how you may be turning all of your partners into the same kind of person unconsciously. We create spaces in our lives that are known and comfortable, even when they’re not what we want. Why removing the thing you desire makes it more possible in the long run. Learn what people can hope to gain from the No-Man Diet. Doing the no-man diet in an effort to have your dream relationship kind of defeats the purpose. How your relationships with women might change and strengthen throughout the No-Man Diet process. Tweetable Quotes: When we have massive resistance to giving anything up, it points back to addiction. You’ll keep drawing into our life what you have an affinity for. People who truly take the No-Man diet on usually find the partner of their dreams soon afterward.

This week's show is with Kendra Cunov, Founder of Fierce Grace: Practices of Embodied Wholeness for Women, Kendra has been studying, facilitating, and (most importantly) practicing Authentic Relating, Embodiment Practices & Deep Intimacy Work for the last fifteen years. Kendra has worked with thousands of men, women & couples in the areas of embodiment, intimacy, communication & full self-expression. She co-founded Authentic World, as well as The Embodied Relationship & Intimacy Training Salon, and pioneered some of the most cutting edge relation work on the planet. Kendra has consulted for companies such as Genentech & is currently on staff for 4PC, an elite mastermind for the top 4% of coaches in the world. She works with organizations & leaders, as well as men, women & couples, who know that presence, truth, connection & integrity are our truest access points to success - in business & in love. So in this show, we spoke about what it means to experience life as a woman in today's world and what we need from our environment, from other women and from ourselves. Kendra and I we also aware of the fine line we were dancing between talking about men and women as one homogenous mass and talking "this is what it means to be a woman' as if women have to be a certain defined way. We spoke about feeling like 'the wrong kind of woman' - maybe not feminine enough, feminism, nature, intuition, competition, sex and more. Just like feminine energy, this conversation flowed everywhere!   Although this episode is about women, it's not just for women, if you're a man you will understand far more about women if you listen in too! I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below. What you'll learn from this episode: There's a deep longing in women to be connected to nature. We are moved by cycles which are connected and reflected by the cycles in the natural world and we suffer when we don't find a connection to nature. We don't need men anymore so it's a choice. If we choose to be together, what shall we create? We have the opportunity to create something extraordinary and beautiful. What would be really radical would be to value the work that women typically do as much as we value the work that men typically do. It's about opening up choice. We got sold this lie of a need to compete with other women but what's natural for us is for us to gather together to support, encourage and love each other. The magic that's created in those spaces isn't just powerful for us as women but can ripple out to the world around us. Something aligned to that is what Kendra talked about in terms of the response to adrenaline in women which is to gather! Love that! When we base our culture around what's best for mothers and children, an entire eco-system is created from there which allows the entire community to thrive. The practice that Kendra shared at the end - a regular practice of going in and listening to your body - your mind, your heart, your gut, your vagina. Be incredibly honest about what you hear AND give yourself permission not to follow its guidance too!

You know that old chestnut, "Go big or go home"? There's an implication that it looks a certain way to go BIG. It's usually shiny and far-reaching. There's loads of travel and champagne involved. Big success is seductive. So seductive, that we often we leave parts of ourselves (the creative part, for instance, or sometimes the kind part) in order to pursue it. Yet here's the bonkers thing: Do you even want that? Do you know what success means for YOU? Today's episode is about how we can stop leaving ourselves. How do we start listening to that deep inner whisper that wants to make us whole again, especially if it's whispering something that feels inconvenient? (Like 'quit your job'). Today’s guest is Kendra Cunov, founder of Fierce Grace: Practices of Embodied Wholeness for Women. Kendra studies, facilitates, and practices authentic relating, embodiment practices, and deep intimacy work.   Some highlights of our conversation include: How to get back into integrity The link between adrenal fatigue and leaving ourselves Why we don't listen to our body wisdom Practical tips on tuning into your inner knowing again The "I want" practice - how repetition 'clears out the pipes' and allows the Truth to come out A phrase that makes you available to this moment This conversation is like a deep, soft exhale.

One of my values is in bringing the conventional and the unconventional together.”   “Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do...but I choose that because there’s a value that I’m honoring underneath that.”   “We use the word, ‘stress,’ as a catch-all for a lot of things.”

Why Kendra lived at a Buddhist Monastery for a period of time and how it eventually led her to leave the monastery to lead relational dynamics with her now ex husband Two of her teachers: Sofia Diaz and David Deida Authentic relating: the practice of hiding nothing (not to be confused with share everything) How making assumptions about what people can and cannot handle from you can lead you to limiting yourself (all from just an assumption, too!)-- this is why we often show our full spectrum of emotions to some people, but not all people. How Kendra has learned what works for her when she feels jealous in her relationship (and how she communicates it with her partner) Letting your emotions flare How to be generous and patient while you learn to let your man lead (sometimes badly) How to not be defensive when your partner is doing his best to be honest and vulnerable Let {Him} Lead You Badly (video) Going three layers deeper so you move past the surface level complaint and get to the real desire An example of how we often sabotage our partner from taking the role of leader My fear of going deep into this woo-woo relationship realm and how it may disconnect me from the "mainstream" men I have available to date (and what Kendra has to say about that) The Myth of Being Met in Relationship You can be exactly who you are whether you are in a relationship or not: you never have to change your ways or your behavior (unless you decide to) How the masculine creates the structure and the feminine is the energy that fills it Why using a word like "energy" might feel better than a word like surrender Must-read book: The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer Diptyque Rose Candles Connect with Kendra: Website Facebook
