This immersive meditation uses the metaphor of a tree to guide us through the illusion of separation and the quiet journey back to our true nature. Through poetic reflection and direct felt experience, we explore how thought becomes identity, how suffering arises through forgetting, and how, like the tree, we can return to the peace that never left us. A powerful invitation to simplify 'enlightenment', to see clearly the dualistic nature of thought, and to remember yourself home. Please forgive my use of “it” when referring to the tree in this meditation. For the sake of clarity in the visualization, our more-than-human kin was momentarily framed as an “it”—but this is a limitation of language, not of truth. I hope it doesn't distract from the deeper message of interconnectedness and remembrance. Thank you for being present in this space and for holding these words for a moment - may they be of use to anyone suffering, lost, or unsure right now.

In this episode, we tackle the challenging but vital question: How can we support nervous system regulation when someone isn't in a safe environment? Drawing from Deb Dana's Polyvagal Theory expertise and current research, we explore practical strategies for both practitioners and individuals navigating unsafe circumstances.In this episode you'll learn:How to identify small touch points that can activate brief ventral vagal statesSpecific techniques practitioners & individuals can use to support clients/themselves in unsafe environmentsMicro-practices for self-regulation during ongoing stress or threatThree Takeaways:Even in unsafe environments, small "safety or regulating anchors" (objects, memories, connections) can provide crucial moments of regulation. The goal isn't permanent regulation in unsafe circumstances, but creating brief reminders that another state exists.Oftentimes the first step in healing is acknowledging the reality of one's situation, not minimizing or denying it. Whether you're a practitioner or the individual going through it, remember that your struggle makes sense, your survival responses make sense.Recognizing and savoring these micro-moments of "safe enough" builds neural pathways that support resilience over time.Resources/Citations:National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233"Polyvagal Exercises for Safety and Connection" by Deb Dana"Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory" by Deb DanaLevine, P.

This track is a daily invitation to return—to yourself, to presence, to the unshakable truth that you are already whole. It is a reminder that nothing in life needs to be fixed or figured out for you to belong to it completely. Through surrender and by offering a radical presence to all experiences, you are guided to embrace uncertainty, failure, longing, and love without resistance. Let these words be a refuge, a steadying force in the midst of change, and a call to live with more ease, depth, and trust in the unfolding of life. May this also serve as a supportive companion to all those on the W(hole)ness course, as a quick reminder that simple presence is the pinnacle of all spiritual ambitions.

Today we are going to talk about our religion wounds and how they held us back AND also catapulted us into healing our inner God(dess) to finding our true callings after decades of masculine wounding and how we have grown since the last time Cat was on my show We will also talk openly about what women REALLY want in this new awakening age Enjoy the show and let me know what you think! ✨ Who is Catherine (Cat) Storing? My journey began in the high-stakes world of corporate leadership, where I held supportive, managerial, and director-level roles for over two decades. I witnessed how high-pressure environments slowly chipped away at creativity, productivity, and well-being—not only in employees but also in those leading them. That firsthand experience ignited my passion for helping others prevent and recover from burnout. After a whirlwind of success as a TEDx speaker, ghostwriter, and business coach, I hit a wall myself. Burnout came knocking—and I answered. That wake-up call led me to step back, realign, and walk a deeply transformative path of healing and rediscovery. From the serene landscapes of Bali to immersive studies in somatic healing, hypnotherapy, and family constellations, I began unearthing the layers of stored trauma that were holding me (and others) back. I became certified in Somatic Experiencing, with a specialty in Somastery, and expanded my practice with powerful hypnotherapy tools that unlock profound change at the subconscious level. But I didn't stop there. I also discovered the incredible healing power of sound. Today, I integrate intentional sound frequencies, vocal activations, and vibrational healing tools to support deeper emotional release, nervous system regulation, and cellular transformation in my client sessions. Whether it's through sound bowls, rhythmic drumming, or channeled vocal harmonics, sound helps accelerate breakthroughs that talk therapy or mindset work alone often cannot reach. Now, I bring together everything I've learned—corporate wisdom, somatic intelligence, spiritual depth, and sound medicine—to help high-achieving entrepreneurs and professionals heal faster, reclaim their energy, reignite their creativity, and thrive in all areas of life. My work supports the whole human: mind, body, and soul. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of sync with your purpose, I'm here to guide you back home to yourself—with science, soul, and sound FIND OUT MORE ABOUT CAT AND HER FREE OFFERING TODAY: https://catherinestoring.com/the-sacred-expansion-portal-page FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MAGDALENA GRACE HERE or TO SIGN UP FOR HER UPCOMING ABUNDANCE ALCHEMIST IN PERSON WORKSHOPS OR HEALTHY N WEALTHY N WISE RETREATS BOOK A RUNES READING AND MORE! www.MagdalenaGrace.com JOIN OUR HEALTHY N WEALTHY N WISE ONLINE ACADEMY WITH OR WITHOUT AYAHUASCA MICRODOSING HERE: www.microdosingforhealth.com BUY ME A COFFEE OR DONATE FOR SCHOLARSHIP FUND FOR HEALING CLIENTS IN NEED https://venmo.com/u/lotusthrone MORE ALCHEMY OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUR BEST HEALTH, WEALTH AND RELATIONSHIPS www.SanDiegoKambo.com www.KundaliniFallbrook.com www.LotusThroneSanctuary.com WANNA SIGN UP AND BE A PLEDGING PATRON FOR HEALTHY N WEALTHY N WISE - SAVING LIVES AND CREATING MORE ABUNDANCE FOR OTHERS? https://patron.podbean.com/magdalena SUBSCRIBE TO HER YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@UC_l0t_6TBbZ1q9Q0wKZz89Q

This episode talks in detail about rape."I've actually been really scared to talk about these things," Paige told Renée as she started to tell her story and lose her breath. Paige had a relatively happy childhood and an appropriately "boy crazy" adolescence. Unfortunately, her first boyfriend was so abusive and controlling that, until recently, she kept the details of the five-year relationship buried far away from her consciousness. Now a happily married, 32 year-old mother of three, Paige finds herself suddenly overcome by the trauma - memories, feelings, all of it -- and she has come to the show hoping Renée can help her stabilize. Her story is intense and it was hard for her to tell it, but her bravery is stunning. Renée helps Paige understand her intense symptoms and new triggers, and by the end Paige not only has her breath back, but she also has hope and a plan.Support the show

What if your client's tremor, stretch, or undulation wasn't a symptom—but a sign of healing? In this episode, Alex sits down with physical therapist, somatic educator and TRE Provider, Joel Begin to explore the natural, spontaneous movements that often arise in bodywork, movement therapy, and somatic healing—but are still largely misunderstood.Joel shares the story behind his 2022 paper, “Characterizing a Common Class of Spontaneous Movements,” a collaborative work that brings together perspectives from across the globe to map out how tremors, shakes, and fluid movements emerge across therapeutic, spiritual, and cultural contexts. From TRE® and myofascial unwinding to Qigong and authentic movement, Joel helps us reframe these expressions not as random or pathological—but as beneceptive and healing.Together, we explore the potential of spontaneous movement as a doorway into nervous system regulation, trauma resolution, and embodied intelligence. This episode invites you to see what might already be happening in your sessions with new eyes—and perhaps, to trust the body just a little more.Key Highlights: [00:02:00] The Paper That Sparked It All: Characterizing a Common Class of Spontaneous Movements[00:08:00] What Is Myofascial Unwinding?[00:14:30] Modalities That Evoke Spontaneous Movement[00:17:45] Spiritual Practices & Movement States[00:24:00] Case Study: Spontaneous Movement After Surgery[00:27:00] When Movement Feels Uncomfortable[00:33:00] TRE®, Trauma, and the Polyvagal Lens[00:38:45] Understanding Freeze Through Biotensegrity[00:41:00] What Makes These Movements Arise?[00:43:30] Creating a Container for CuriosityLinks & ResourcesJoel Begin's 2022 Paper: “Characterizing a Common Class of Spontaneous Movements” Read the full paper in the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and BodyworkJoel Begin's Practice – Creative Pathways PTContinuum Movement: https://continuummovement.com/ Somatic Experiencing by Peter Levine: https://www.somaticexperiencing.com/about-peter Polyvagal Theory by Dr. Stephen Porges: https://www.stephenporges.com/ Myofascial Release John F.

In this poetic, guided meditation, we explore the illusion of a separate, exalted "higher self" and instead uncover the wholeness that has always been here—woven into our being, inseparable from life itself. Through guided reflection and deep presence, you'll be invited to see the self not as something to transcend but as a vast, interconnected relationship—like a forest sustained by unseen forces.By releasing the spiritualized striving for a "better" self, we return to the intelligence of nature, where growth is not a personal achievement but a harmonious unfolding. This meditation is an invitation to rest—not in seeking, but in remembering. To listen. To trust. To meet life with the same wisdom that moves rivers and unfurls leaves in spring.If you long for a more grounded, expansive way of being, this is for you.Much Love & gratitude for listening, sharing, or simply being present with this work, SezSupport the show✨ If you'd like to explore more of my work, you can find guided meditations on Insight Timer, weekly unpublished poems on my Substack, and offerings for deeper support on my website.

What happens when your body calls for change—and you actually listen? In this powerful episode, Alex sits down with Matthew Cooke, founder of Body-Based Breakthrough (B3), to explore how burnout led him away from the tech hustle and into the healing world of somatic coaching. With roots in high-performance culture and a life-changing crash into chronic stress, Matthew shares how he pieced together his own path to nervous system healing—one breath, one journal entry, and one movement at a time.Matthew opens up about the unexpected clarity he found in yoga classes and long walks, how he began listening to his body in new ways, and the moment a client told him, “It's a shame there's only one of you.” That nudge sparked the creation of B3—a replicable somatic system now used by coaches, therapists, and leaders around the world. From working with senior tech execs to certifying a new generation of somatic practitioners, Matthew's approach is both deeply personal and highly practical.Together, Alex and Matthew unpack the principles of B3, the importance of orientation and regulation, and how somatic practices are transforming how we live, lead, and heal.

Your body has been speaking to you—whispering, nudging, sometimes even screaming. But have you been listening?When we disconnect, whether due to trauma, societal pressures, or daily stress, we override the signals that guide us toward pleasure, safety, and alignment. This disconnection often manifests as chronic pain, anxiety, digestive issues, or even numbness.Healing doesn't come from pushing harder—it comes from allowing space, feeling into the moment, and recognizing that slowing down is actually the fastest way to true transformation. In this week's episode, Angela and I, talk about...Is your body trying to tell you something?Why do so many of us feel disconnected?What if the key to healing isn't doing more, but doing less?Could slowing down actually get you where you want to go—faster?And many more!
