Conscious Body Conversations Episode 29Stress and Joy are opposite reactions when it comes to both physical state of being AND emotional experience. What do we do when stress and hard times take over our access to and experience of joy.
In Episode 26 Karen Bayard of Whole Body Laughter and I talked about accessing joy in hard times, today she shares with us expert tips to actually, practically EXPERIENCE IT. Tune in for: • Adult Temper Tantrums • The One Minute Album exercise (including giggles!) • "I Am" exercise • The Book of Lists to refer to • Pick your power song and create a power playlist What I love about this conversation and Karen's practical suggestions is that the year SOMATIC! Meaning we bypass the placating, "just unplug and it will be OK" Sometimes your body needs to FEEL something different to even get on a path remotely in the direction of OK. So if you're not sure things will be OK, or have been hesitant on the path of joy (like me!)...then THIS is worth an hour of your time! Karen Bayard is the owner of Whole Body Laughter & sees joy as a both a key element of wellness & a revolutionary act. Karen has designed individual wellness experiences, team building playshops, fun-infused training programs, semester-long college level courses & easeful conflict resolution seminars in the US and internationally for Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland), United States Air Force, Huntsman Cancer Institute, ProBar, University of Utah, Western Governors University at Disneyland, Salt Lake Community College and more. As a Certified Laughter Yoga Teacher, IIN Certified Holistic Health Coach and former Board Member of the Association of Applied & Therapeutic Humor, Karen’s mission is to explore ways of vibrant living and cultivate opportunities to be well utilizing a variety of mediums, with a special focus on embodying joy. 🌐 WholeBodyLaughter.com 📺: @WholeBodyLaughter 👤 @WholeBodyLaughter 🐦 @WholeBodyLaughter 🔗 @WholeBodyLaughter 🌟The Conscious Body Conversation Series🌟 As humans, our relationship with our bodies has taken many twists and turns.

Conscious Body Conversations Episode 28It is due time we have a more empowered feminine conversation about alcohol...more specifically about letting go of alcohol. We all know too much can cause trouble. But in this conversation Erin and I talk about what happens at a biochemical level with even a drop. And quite possibly more importantly, what is the macro - cultural - influence of why we are drinking in the first place. From "mommy's sippy cup" to "coping juice" let's take a look at the empowered move of putting that glass down.
Erin Baker has spent her life pursuing health and wellness, spending most of her focus on clinical laboratory science. Over the years and suffering numerous health problems- including 2 autoimmune disorders- she became driven to find natural, holistic remedies for her own health. Understanding the power of our mental health and its relationship with disease, Erin has been able to make a difference in not just her own life, but the health of her family, friends, and clients.

Ancient healing approaches go as far as describing health as motion. Think of it like this - when a creak's water is flowing it is more clear, vital. When the water pools and stagnates, is still, murk collects. Our bodies are like that too. Physical motion is one way to clear this stagnation. Moving stuck energy is another.
In this video, Energy Medicine Practitioner Donna Becker talks to us about simple, practical ways to identify and move stuck energy. She shares the powerful impact of this not only in the current state of your health, but along the timeline of your entire health experience.

Elizabeth E. Wallace, Intuitive Animal Communicator shares with us how deeply wise information and signals from animals can be in helping us to live our best selves, to be fully embodied.
Meet Elizabeth: "It is such a profound honor to guide and support people as they navigate the grief over the loss of their animal. My sincere intention is that you feel hope in knowing that there is a way through the darkness of this loss. My purpose is to help you bridge the connection to your animal’s Spirit, and help you find comfort in knowing that their love is always there."

This made me quickly realize I’ve GOT to clarify this quickly because in all of my trillions of cells I believe this is an urgent matter in upgrading the health hand wellness space this year and beyond. The short answer is Embodied Movement® us for everyone. But let’s get more specific and figure out why… First let’s answer the question: What is Embodied Movement®? Embodied Movement® is an approach that can be applied to any type of movement, whether it is dedicated movement like exercise or daily functional movement like posture habits for daily activities. It is a way to access safety in the body through gentle resiliency. Embodied Movement® teaches the methodology of: Release, Realign, Strengthen, Refine in order to build new neural pathways through movement. Why is this important? The key is the communication network of your nervous system. When you taken in information, through the environment, through circumstances, and through emotional impact, your nervous system “learns” it’s programming. As humans, we operate on pathways and habits until or unless these habits and patterns are disrupted by new information. When we have been through stress or trauma, often the reactive signals in fight / flight / freeze/ faint / fawn mode become part of our daily rhythms. These signals include tension and other body processes that zap energy and function away from restoration, repair, and rejuvenation. Basically we feel like less of ourselves. What can we do about it? The good news is our brains, neuropathways, neuromuscular signals, and nervous system habits are all very “plastic” - meaning we can mold them! But we have to know how, because when they have been trained by stress, trauma, and intense emotional impact that programming is prioritized, so we have to learn the hacks. Often people try mind-first approaches, and while they are a helpful part of a holistic approach, because this information is somatically (in the body) stored, they run into dead ends, change is frustrating, slow, or not even happening! Using Embodied Movement® you are coming in from a sensory-first approach which gives new signals directly through the body, the nervous system, and to the brain. This is flipping Mind ⌲ Body to Body ⌲ Mind Not that the first is incorrect, just that it’s not always (in fact often isn’t) the most effective pathway. Ok... back to WHO is this for? I can break this down into 2 categories: personal and professional. Personally Embodied Movement® is for:
Professionally Embodied Movement® Training is for:

Natalie came from a fast paced world in Hollywood, California and allowed herself to be guided by her body's needs through a journey of presence and permission around food that has led her to co-found an integrative health centre.
I hope you enjoy this grounded perspective on eating and come away with some practical tips you can implement now.

In fact, the fact that there IS a "standard norm" creates a higher chance of disembodiment for queer bodies that don't fit.
I couldn't let this series go by without addressing this very necessary topic and I couldn't think of anyone better to sit down with than my dear friend Nyle. In this raw and real conversation, Nyle (they/them) gives us the what to say and what NOT to say when it comes to working with queer bodies in order to create an environment that is embodiment friendly. Nyle is a Queer, Non-binary, Polyamorous Occupational Therapist and single parent of three young children. Their work as a specialist in Somatics is to bridge the gap between mental health and bodywork. "My role as a teacher of the body, an Occupational Therapist, and a fascial specialist is to help people create wholeness inside of their body and then maintain that connection to self through a practice that involves ongoing assessment, strengthening, flexibility, and self-treatment." ➡️ Find Nyle here: 🌐 www.bluenyletherapy.com 👥 The Embodiment Collective 🌟The Conscious Body Conversation Series🌟 As humans, our relationship with our bodies has taken many twists and turns.

I connected with Camille when I saw we shared a common interest in epigenetics and was curious about a subconscious retraining modality she practices: Psych-K.
What I learned was that Camille's real passion is providing the container for people to bring their otherwise disjointed lives together. She says most people walk around all day living a work or professional life that isn't aligned with their authentic self. The way I see it, THIS is a recipe for disembodiment. Listen as she tells her story about how her background in organic farming and working with labeling laws in D.C. helped her find that there WERE people like her working in corporate America and inspired her to create a business around allowing embodied professionalism.

Amber and I have been friends for years and many of our conversations return to a common experience, choosing your SELF and your HEALTH inside of cultural institutions that are constructed to make that extremely difficult.
Amber walked away from radio to choose freedom to use her voice for messages and causes that are true to her purpose without filtering them for the expectations put on her. She shares the many threads of her life that were connected to this powerful decision. I believe when you choose, over and over again your own truth we you are practicing embodiment.
