3 practical tips for living an embodied life

You'll see that the body is communicating through feelings and sensations, which is really powerful. With practice, you can learn the emotional resilience that is essential to surviving today’s busy world. You’ll be able to interpret your body’s whispers to reach a whole new level of performance. Embodiment is a landing into yourself, a coming back into a deep alignment of your soul’s core, a commitment of who you were put on this planet to be.

Emotions or ego? You have to feel it to find out.

Narratives are the stories we tell ourselves; the thoughts we have when our ego goes into protection mode. It’s when we stay in our head instead of dropping into our body to listen to what is truly going on. It’s sometimes the lies we tell ourselves. When someone starts to feel emotions coming to the surface and it’s difficult to name or explain, they tend to run to the narrative - to thinking - to get out of that place of discomfort.

The price we pay for overthinking

It could look something like… You’re in the middle of a discussion, you disagree with the other person and begin to feel angry, then the other person notices you are upset and you act like it is no big deal, talk really fast to end the conversation, and move on about your day without actually stopping to feel what came up and question why it happened.

When softness is as valued as drive

Releasing old inefficient defense mechanisms that were truly needed at the time we unconsciously created them to survive emotionally allows us to come back home to our body and the essence of who we really are in a profound way that impacts our lives. It’s this gentle softness and tapping into this raw and tender place that unlocks what is stuck, completely opening and letting go of what no longer serves you - without resistance.

We think too much, not feeling enough

Give yourself grace when you mess up and forgiveness when you step into a place of blame, fear, anger, or shame. Sometimes our emotions show up in different ways in our body that don’t make sense to our mind. That’s the importance of practicing a process of releasing and reprogramming stuck energy, emotional blocks, and behavioural patterns trapped in our physical bodies.

Why men and women need each other to heal

Do you feel comfortable (or safe) doing deep healing work with someone of the opposite sex? Personally, I’ve seen how powerful it is to hold space for men as I guide them through their healing journey. Men need femininity to become more vulnerable, so they can surrender into the softness, and expand their circle of compassion and support.

Your Super Simple Antidote to Burnout

My client, Dr. Yona Yaniv, is one of Israel’s top orthopedic hand surgeons. She’s in high demand for her work and carries huge responsibilities. Her job is skilled, intricate and highly pressured.
