Want to learn how to live in your body instead of just in your head?In this episode of Spiritual Fitness, Eric Bigger talks with embodiment expert and bestselling author Philip Shepherd about moving beyond overthinking and fully integrating mind and body.Philip shares how breaking free from cultural conditioning and reconnecting with your body can unlock deeper peace, truth, and presence.You'll discover practical steps to embody what you know, release mental overload, and experience life with more clarity and connection.This episode unpacks: Why moving beyond overthinking leads to true presence What “hara” is and why your belly holds deep truth How to listen to the world through your body Breaking the habit of separating thinking from being How embodied living brings clarity and unlocks your giftsAbout the guest:Philip Shepherd is recognized as a leader in the global embodiment movement. He is the founder of The Embodied Present Process™ (TEPP), which offers a series of over 250 practices to help people ground themselves in the body's wisdom.

The philosophy and practical applications of TEPP help people recognize how well-being is undermined by living in the head – a state of disembodiment our culture takes for granted.

3 Aspects of Theft that Highlight the Dignity of Work 1. The Reality of Stealing "He who steals must steal no longer" 2. The Reversal of Stealing "but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good" 3. The Repentance of Stealing "so that he will have something to share with one who has need"
Ephesians 4:24 says, “Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” This isn't a one-time decision—it's a daily act of surrender. Every day, we get to choose whether we live in our old patterns of thinking and behaving, or step into the new identity Christ has given us.In this episode, we'll talk about what it looks like to “take off” the old self in your health journey—whether that's unhealthy habits, negative self-talk, or striving in your own strength—and instead “put on” the new self, rooted in righteousness, grace, and freedom.You'll learn:How to recognize the old patterns of behavior and thought that keep you stuckPractical steps to replace unhealthy habits with life-giving onesWhy health is more about identity in Christ than willpower or quick fixesHow to walk in daily renewal so your body and spirit align with who you truly areThis journey isn't about perfection—it's about daily surrender and transformation. When you choose to put on your new self, your health habits begin to reflect the grace and freedom you already have in Christ.
What does it mean to put off the old self and put on the new self? How can this make a difference in the world around me?
3 Clarifications of the Christian's Anger 1. The Commands of Anger, v. 26a 2. The Constraint of Anger, v. 26b 3. The Consequence of Anger, v. 27
I. New Life in Christ (vs. 1-4) II. Killing Sin (vs. 5-9) III. New Self in Christ (vs. 10-11)
The Deeper Meaning of “You Shall Not Steal”We have to follow the Lord's law to perfection because even a small amount of failure would condemn us. While many might limit “stealing” to obvious acts like robbery or shoplifting, the catechism reveals deeper implications, including deceptive business practices, exploiting others in financial transactions, greed, and squandering God's gifts. True obedience considers not just outward actions but also inner motives, as God sees the heart with perfect clarity. Stealing is thus any selfish taking or misuse of what God has entrusted to us, violating love for God and neighbor. It is something that is motivated by greed and entitlement.The Old Self vs. the New Self in ChristWe look at Ephesians 4:28 as a key text because it instructs thieves to stop stealing and instead work so they can help those in need. Paul contrasts the “old man,” shaped by Adam's sinful domain (selfishness, greed, sensuality), with the “new man” in Christ, shaped by the Spirit. The Christian's life is reoriented by redemption that sets us in a new historical precedent. We are no longer under the domain of this world, and we do not think according to the patterns of the old historic precedent. Work itself is a God-honoring act, rooted in humanity's original calling in Eden. Even small tasks become acts of worship when offered to God, aiming to bless others rather than exploit them.Living by the Spirit: Transformation and PatienceSinclair Ferguson has some helpful insights regarding life under the domain of the new man. We have to be conscious that we will continually fight between flesh and Spirit, the need for humility, and resting in our identity in Christ rather than self-achievements. Spiritual growth is compared to farming, as we see sowing to the Spirit requires patience, as fruit is not instantaneous. The principle “you reap what you sow” is reframed: living by the flesh reaps misery, while living by the Spirit yields joy and Christlikeness over a lifetime. Growth involves daily giving oneself over to the Spirit to honor Christ, a conscious mindfulness of motives, and perseverance despite slow progress.Community, Generosity, and Not Grieving the SpiritPaul's command not to grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30) reminds believers that sin disrupts our dynamic, ongoing relationship with God, who has sealed us for redemption. Christianity is not purely individualistic, my Christ in me, but we are believers who live as a community, caring for one another, sharing with those in need, and encouraging spiritual growth together. The call to stop stealing is ultimately a call to reorient life: away from self-centered gain, toward glorifying God, building up others, and living in light of being a redeemed “new temple people” in Christ. The command is less about legal compliance and more about cultivating a lifestyle of generosity, honesty, and worship. We do this in the Spirit.Let us be such a people who continually look for ways to give ourselves over to the Spirit, desiring the Lord to search our hearts, convict us of sin, and bring to life the fruits that honor him.
Throw off your old sinful nature, let the Holy Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes, and put on your new nature. We tend to hang onto all the stuff in our lives that we are used to, even if it's bad for us. It's time that we let go of our old ways, and replace them with the ways of Jesus!Pastor Andy brings us the message this week!

Studio owners, this one's for the do-it-all leaders running on fumes. If you've ever felt like the pilot, the crew, the mechanic, and the air traffic control of your business — all at once — it's time to rethink your flight plan. In this episode, we're borrowing wisdom from the skies to bring you aviation-grade self-care. You'll learn: - Why flying solo isn't sustainable (and what it's really costing you) - What a “co-pilot” looks like inside your studio - How to use checklists as one of the most powerful leadership tools - Why rest isn't optional — it's regulation If you're ready to lead smarter, not harder, tune in. Because the view at 35,000 feet is only worth it if you arrive in one piece. DM us or tag us @dancestudioownersassociation to tell us: - Who your co-pilot is (or who you wish it was)? - The first checklist you're committing to build this week Let's build aviation-grade leadership, together.
We're not called to strive harder or do more. We're invited to gaze upon Jesus, letting His beauty and grace wash over us. As we do, we find ourselves slowly but surely becoming more like Him.Remember: You're not trying to change yourself or others. You're simply pointing hearts toward Jesus. He does the transforming work.
Putting on the New Self Colossians 3: 12-17 Pastor Phil Rushton
You don't need another funnel. You need a message that pierces through digital noise, trauma patterns, and self-protection mechanisms, and gets heard. In this live, I'm exposing the real reason brilliant entrepreneurs stay broke, overwhelmed, or invisible: It's not your strategy. It's not the algorithm. It's the identity you built to survive a world that punished power. We're dismantling the masks… And replacing them with high-trust messaging infrastructure that performs without performing. This isn't mindset coaching. This is identity recalibration, strategic visibility, and collapse-proof positioning for leaders who are DONE playing small.

Romantic relationships are sacred, powerful, and life-giving. But I don't have to tell you how difficult it is to love and let yourself be loved.Marriage and family therapist Dr. Terry Hargrave has been helping couples in crisis restore broken relationships for decades, teaching them how to get unstuck, improve communication, and move beyond destructive coping mechanisms—to find reciprocity, self-affirming confidence, emotional regulation, and a joyful, lasting love.In a world marked by loneliness, disconnection, and emotional dysregulation, Hargrave offers powerful insights on the human need for identity, safety, and belonging—and how we can heal the wounds that keep us stuck. Drawing on decades of therapeutic experience and deep personal reflection, Hargrave explains how coping mechanisms like blame, shame, control, and escape can damage relationships—and how the peace cycle of nurture, self-valuing, balanced give-and-take, and connection can restore wholeness. He discusses his unique approach to the healing and restorative power of relationships, which lifts us up to our potential, encouraging us toward a nurturing, self-valuing, non-controlling reciprocity, and true connection.In this conversation with Terry Hargrave, we discuss:How to turn around a relationship in crisis and get off the emotional rollercoasterHow to build security and trust in order to improve or repair a marriage or long-term relationshipCoping mechanisms of blame, shame, control, and escapePractical steps to learn emotional self-regulationWhat to do when only one partner is working on a relationshipThe role of the brain and neuroplasticity in relational repairAnd the spiritual underpinnings of Terry's approach to restoration therapyEpisode Highlights"It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing—until you claim your belovedness for yourself, nothing will change.""Relationships are a mirror—we discover who we are through how others see us.""Blame, shame, control, and escape—nothing good comes from these coping mechanisms.""Understanding doesn't produce change. Doing produces change.""When we nurture, self-value, connect, and cooperate, unleashed joy happens.""Thriving is doing more of your best self, not learning something new."Helpful Links and ResourcesRestoration Therapy Training ResourcesThe Mindful Marriage by Ron Deal and Nan Deal (with Terry and Sharon Hargrave)Five Days to a New Self by Terry HargraveEmotionally Focused Therapy and Sue Johnson's LegacyShow NotesIntroduction to Terry Hargrave and the importance of Restoration Therapy today"We are still the same humans, but with a bigger pipe of problems and fewer emotional connections."Emotional dysregulation linked to identity and safety threatsRelationships as a mirror to the self and necessary for human thriving"For there to be a me, there has to be a thou."Why relationships are difficult: imperfection, wounding, and unmet needsHow family of origin wounds influence coping styles"Families don't mean to screw each other up, but somehow they manage to."Introduction of the four major unhealthy coping mechanisms: blame, shame, control, and escapeHow overachievement, perfectionism, and withdrawal are survival strategies from early wounding"Your greatest strength might actually be an old coping habit getting in the way of intimacy."The relational signs that coping mechanisms are damaging relationshipsHealing through self-regulation: speaking truth to yourself with love"Put your hand on your heart and remind yourself of who you really are."The difference between co-regulation and self-regulation in emotional healingRestoration Therapy's peace cycle: nurture, self-value, balance, connection"Nothing good comes from blame, shame, control, or escape."The role of practice and neuroplasticity in forming new relational habits"Doing, not just understanding, is what rewires the brain."How thriving relationships move from neediness to adventurous partnershipIntimacy as knowing yourself more fully through connection, not just need satisfactionCooperative growth and mutual flourishing as hallmarks of thrivingApplication of restoration principles to broader societal healing and reconciliation"Unleashed joy happens when we choose nurture and connection, even with adversaries."The critical role of faith in affirming belovedness and ultimate identity"Everyone else and even God can tell you you're beloved—but you have to claim it for yourself."Practical advice for knowing when to seek therapyWhere to find Restoration Therapy-trained therapistsResources for learning more: Mindful Marriage and other Restoration Therapy booksThe key takeaways that I will carry with me from this conversation are the following:You can change. Your relationship can change. But it takes a daily practice of hard work to create lasting change.And though you might fail, there is hope that you can begin again.Our coping mechanisms are not superpowers. They hurt us and the people we love.Understanding is not enough. Action and behavior has to follow for change to occur.[Any others?] It takes two to tango, but that doesn't get you off the hook from doing the work on yourself.And finally, a thriving relationship creates joy all around it, within a family, in a community, and it shows how personal relationships can change society.About Terry HargraveDr. Terry Hargrave.

Nothing is more important than the condition of your soul, and this timeless work offers thought-provoking insight and biblical wisdom for those who wish to store up treasure in heaven. Originally written by Puritan pastor William Dyer (1632–1696), The Strait Way to Heaven presents twenty biblical principles that lead to a life of deep repentance, unwavering faith in Christ, and true holiness. With deep insights drawn from Scripture, Dyer urges readers to forsake sin, embrace righteousness, and walk steadfastly in obedience to God. This revised and updated edition preserves the heart of Dyer's message while making his rich teachings more accessible to today's readers. Written with passionate urgency and deep pastoral care, this book serves as both a convicting call to self-examination and an encouraging guide to the joy of a life fully surrendered to the Lord. Dyer's words remind us that holiness is the only true path to happiness and that the narrow road of faith leads to eternal life. Whether you are seeking a deeper relationship with Christ or a better understanding of the Christian walk, The Strait Way to Heaven will challenge and inspire you to live with purpose, integrity, and unshakable devotion to God. About the Editor Ron Metheny is a Baptist pastor and Christian author. His published works include: Why, God? Why?! (Understanding Habakkuk), 'Twas the Devotional before Christmas: Daily Readings for Advent, and Echoes of Thunder (A Collection of Christian Quotes and Godly Wit). He lives in Kentucky.
We're created with both a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. Because the subconscious mind is more mysterious, we usually don't interact with it much or understand the purpose of it.In this episode, we're going to talk about why the subconscious mind is so important in the journey of becoming your new self!If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to hear why.

In this episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, Ali Mezey interviews Philip Shepherd, a luminary in the global embodiment movement. Together, Ali and Philip explore countercultural aspects of embodiment, the importance of challenging societal norms, and the need to advocate for a shift towards present-centered awareness.Central to the conversation is the profound impact of the pelvic bowl, a core element of Philip's teachings. Drawing inspiration from cultures that value the body differently, Philip highlights the concept of Hara in Japanese Noh theater. He traces the historical shift in Western culture from the belly as the thinking center to the current emphasis on the head, revealing a narrative of mistrust in the body.Sensitivity emerges as a core theme of the conversation, which Philip positions as the foundation of intelligence. Ali and Philip delve into the subtleties of staying “dropped in” to the pelvic floor, stressing the gentle and patient approach required for restoring sensitivity, especially in individuals who have experienced trauma. Throughout the episode, the exploration of embodiment, cultural shifts, and the profound connection between the body and the world converges into a call to action. The duo inspires listeners to nurture sensitivity, embrace radical wholeness, and reclaim their true intelligence, fostering the evolution of both individual and collective consciousness.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE PHILIP SHEPHERD:PHILIP – Facebook PHILIP – InstagramEmbodiedPresent.comBIO: Philip Shepherd is recognized as a leader in the global embodiment movement. He is the creator of The Embodied Present Process™ (TEPP), which provides both potent insights into how our culture desensitizes the body, and a series of over 150 practices to help people renew their sensitivity to the world and reclaim their calm, centred presence in it. He shares TEPP worldwide through in-person workshops and Facilitators Trainings, and has articulated the need for a new, more embodied way of being in two books: Radical Wholeness and New Self, New World. Both books identify the causes, perils and challenges of our culture's disembodiment. Philip's personal path to embodiment includes a two-year journey as a teenager, during which he traveled alone by bicycle through Europe, the Middle East, Iran, India and Japan. He has also studied classical Japanese Noh Theater; co-founded an interdisciplinary theatre company; written two internationally produced plays and a television documentary; designed and built several houses; co-founded an arts magazine called Onion; played lead roles on stages in London, New York, Chicago and Toronto; and earned a reputation as a coach, both with individual clients seeking a deeper experience of embodiment, and for corporate clients seeking to improve their presentation skills. He developed TEPP with his co-director and wife Allyson Woodrooffe, who also shares the practices in person. His website and online courses are found at EmbodiedPresent.com.

Colossians 3:12-14
In the process of personal transformation and healing, you'll often find yourself existing somewhere between your “old self” and your “new self.” The “old self” is the identity that has served you up until now, which you have likely outgrown and are now seeking to shed. This “old self” is made up of the collection of attachments, self-perceptions, habits, behaviors, choices, and coping mechanisms (or “life strategies”) you've been carrying with you from the past. Your “new self” is your emerging identity and new way of BEING in the world, made up of the collection of conscious choices, behaviors, beliefs, and life strategies you're stretching yourself into. This is part of your expansion, part of your awakening. This brilliant Self – your true self - is revealed, layer by layer, the more you shed anything that doesn't reflect the truth of who you are. As you expand, you often have to “straddle” this in-between state: that state when your new Self hasn't fully emerged, and your old self is still sometimes running the show (when you fall back into old patterns, without really meaning to). This is a period when you know the “old” isn't working for you anymore, but the “new” hasn't been fully born. So it feels a bit like being in two realities at the same time. On this episode of INNER WORK, we'll talk about what it's like to be in this in-between state and how you can navigate your inner (and outer) transformation more easily. **************** You're lovingly invited to join my email community and get access to my free Akashic Records Mini Course + weekly newsletter: https://josephinehardman.com/akashic-records-intro/ Explore the next round of my Akashic Records Certification Program: https://josephinehardman.com/work-with-me/akashic-records-certification-program/ Connect through my website: https://josephinehardman.com Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

Is flaking - canceling at the last second - the new self-care? It seems to be on the rise and according to an article in The Guardian, the answer for some people is yes. I disagree. Flaking is avoidable with healthy boundaries and self-knowledge, and there are many self-care practices we can do that don't involve regularly canceling on others. In this episode, I share my thoughts on flaking, explore the nuances of having the right to change our minds (which I stand by), and detail steps to take for actual self-care in your life.
