Podcast appearances and mentions of liam bowler

Liam Bowler is a teacher, writer, father, bodyworker and hosts the Body Awake Podcast.    He is the author of A Creator's Companion, a beautiful book that explores the many elements of the process of creativity.    In our conversation, we speak about embodiment, and embodiment as relationship, and how each of our understandings of embodiment has evolved over the years.    We reflect together about creativity, and the necessity of courtship with the creative process. We speak about how creativity is not limited to those who are identified as artists, but how becoming truly becoming yourself, finding your voice is an act of creation.    We speak of intimacy and not knowing, and what feels most important in the times in which we live.    You can find out more about Liam, and his work and teaching at thebodyawake.com

Liam Bowler is a teacher, bodyworker, and a somatic philosopher. He’s also the creator of The Body Awake podcast which, if you’re listening to this podcast, I can highly recommend! He is most recently the author of the book A Creator’s Companion: A Handbook for the Practice of Creation. I found it to be a wonderful read, and a highly experiential book, as opposed to ideas about the process of creation. I believe life itself is a process of creation, and this book is a wonderful guide in how to be more immersed in that. His book, A Creator's Companion can be found here thebodyawake.com/book/cc You can find more of Liam’s work at www.thebodyawake.com and www.dynamicalignmentbodywork.com Liberated Being is at www.liberatedbeing.community You can read about the embodied practice studio on the studio page.

Brea Johnson’s passion for connection and living her truth is contagious. Yoga teacher, travel lover, mother and business owner, Brea’s experiences have shown her that the “intersection between our work is that self-care is self-love.” Speaking with my guest this week gave me new found hope and inspiration for my own practice of Yoga and of simply (or not so simply) being human.

Are you asking yourself safe or dangerous questions? In this hot off the mic interview with Liam Bowler of The Body Awake podcast we dive deep into the process of curiosity and inquiry and how to know when it's time to act instead of freezing in analysis paralysis.  Listen in as I interview a fellow Montanan about his experience with practicing introspection as a pathway to self-love. This interview prompted me , almost immediately, to shift how I approach my reaction to suffering within myself.     Why it’s important to ask the dangerous questions Why to sit with suffering instead of trying to relieve it How to move from inquiry into action     Links Mentioned: Fearless Self-Love Retreat: www.fearlessselflove.com Dancing Spirit Ranch https://www.dancingspiritranch.com/workshops-retreats/ Brené Brown: The Daring Way https://thedaringway.org/ Email Andrea & Sara to sign up for the retreat bonus: hello@fearlessselflove.com The Body Awake http://www.thebodyawake.com/about/ Camp Kitchen where Andrea will be cooking www.ravenwoodolc.org   Liam’s interview with Kimberly Ann Johnson http://www.thebodyawake.com/#/kaj/ Liam’s Body Work practice https://dynamicalignmentbodywork.com/ Stephen Porgus Polyvagal Theory http://stephenporges.com/ Liam’s first  interview with Irene Lyon http://www.thebodyawake.com/#/se-irene/ Banksy http://banksy.co.uk/ Liam’s upcoming workshops http://www.thebodyawake.com/workshops/ Liam’s YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR1pE63MWey2Fq9QMCfiyRQ Show Highlights: 00:58 Fearless Self love Retreat Bonus Details 02:48 Easeful Living Practice ~ What questions are you asking yourself? 05:15 Interview with Liam Bowler begins, Liam helps folks understand their body’s intelligence as well as their educational needs 10:14 Dangerous Questions are the ones that might change your life.

Some of my loves lately: these heartbreakingly beautiful Montana sunsets, my weekly "Spotify suggests" playlist, yoga, cutting my own hair, this podcast, learning how my car works, meditation, taking my neighbors' dog for walks in the hills behind my house. I live in Missoula, Montana, and make regular trips to Seattle—for work and fun—and sometimes other places, too. If you'd like what I do to come near you, please shoot me a line and let me know. You can learn more about my bodywork practice at my website for that: Dynamic Alignment Bodywork.

Experienced bodyworker and fellow podcaster Liam Bowler joins me to discuss nature, martial arts, embodied practices meeting in the middle, dark nights of the soul, wilderness work, scripts vs. authentic responses, embodied listening and podcasting, what makes for a good conversation, yin & yang, range, relational embodiment, movement and change, the spectrum of bodywork, what makes a good bodyworker, how to choose a bodyworker, social media addiction, talking across the political divide and boredom. A lively authentic chat between two kindred spirits.  https://dynamicalignmentbodywork.com/ http://www.thebodyawake.com

This episode functions like a little embodiment gift, courtesy of myself and Liam Bowler, who is the creator of the podcast The Body Awake. It is also an appetizer, a teeny tiny appetizer, of our upcoming weekend course: Living Your Body’s Intelligence, this July 28-29 2018 in Seattle. So many of you have gotten in touch with me over the years to say how much you liked the “home play” part of the Liberated Body episodes- i.e. the body-based explorations at the end of each show- so you can think of this as one long home play episode! I hope you enjoy it. If you have listened to Liberated Body and to The Body Awake you know Liam and I are kindred spirits. For both of us our work is dedicated to the larger, and I would say unanswerable inquiries around what is a body? How do we really connect with our bodies and from there with our lives? What gifts does the body have to deliver if we learn how to have an intimate and reciprocal relationship with it? Over the course of our parallel inquiries it becamse clear that it would be really fun and also uselful to do a class together where we can lead people deep into landing in their bodies, but also to bridge the questions around what you do from there? How does becoming more embodied translate in our lives? How do we change our orientation from concepts and thoughts to being led by our felt experiences and why would we undertake that? We get into depth with that in our weekend workshop. In this episode there is taste of that- a somatic meditation led by me, and an embodied movement exploration led by Liam. It’s some “land in yourself” assistance- which is where it all starts.

Liam Bowler and Carrie Forrest join us to discuss News & Views. We start with three very interesting stories centering around genetics: anxiety's link to metabolic disorder; the 'fat gene' and weight loss; and the latest research on the 'thrifty gene hypothesis.' The Moment of Paleo segment furthers some of the themes discussed during the news segment and revolves around boxing ourselves into various narratives. After the Bell features Jennifer Douden, one of the inventors of CRISPR, a genome editing tool.
