111: Proprioceptive Writing: Your Words Carry Your Embodied Experience

What this episode covers

Reveal the corners and folds of your soul, what wants to be heard from inside, the wisdom and connection that brings you more fully into YOU. I feel awakened and more vibrantly in my body through a recent Proprioceptive Writing Retreat and I wanted to share this helpful tool with all of you. Proprioceptive Writing is a process of inner listening, observing and writing down what you hear, as well as asking one essential question with words that have more vibrancy to you. The words we use carry this knowledge: we are moving and emitting information constantly. The unconscious experience living in our bones and cells has a space to come forward, bringing a new dimension to shadow work, knowing yourself, and body awareness. With this process, you can reveal truths to yourself, excavate wisdom that is already living within you, and allow unconscious aspects to come forward into consciousness and healing. Also in this episode are updates about my travel in Mexico, the sounds — complete with some beautiful soundscapes and guitar playing by Juan Ignacio Rodriguez and Zamboprieto, food, and music that are bringing my soul alive and holding me in through another spiritual emergence/crisis and dismantling of parts of me.   Links, Article, and Resources All Show Notes for This Episode 📝 https://CandiceWu.com/proprioceptivewriting  Podcast Homepage 🎧 https://candicewu.com/podcast Newsletter & Embody Community 💌 https://candicewu.com/embody-community Donations – Your Support Means So Much! 💝 https://candicewu.com/support Candice Wu Page on Facebook 👫 https:///EmbodyYourNature Follow Candice on Instagram 📷 https://instagram.com/EmbodyYourNature   Sponsored: Free Skillshare Dream Class by Candice Wu For one month from Feb 10 — March 10, 2020, one of my Dream Classes is free on Skillshare! How to Uncover and Awaken Your Dream Life : The Basics of Remembering and Recording Your Dreams, Part 1..
