116: What’s Blocking Your Peace? A Conversation on Healing, Awakening, and Self-Realization Eli Recht

In this transformative episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Lorne Brown welcomes Eli Recht—a psychotherapist, EMDR clinician, and teacher of self-realization—for a heartfelt and grounded conversation on spiritual awakening and the path to inner peace. Eli shares his personal journey from anxiety and depression to a sustained state of presence, and offers insight into how releasing trapped emotional energy can lead to profound healing, peace, and purpose. This is an episode for anyone on the path to healing—whether or not fertility is the goal.Key Takeaways:Awakening is not about adding something new—it’s about removing what's in the way of recognizing your true nature.Releasing trapped emotions is essential for dissolving ego-based suffering and accessing peace.The ego is not the enemy—it’s a tool that becomes helpful once it no longer runs the show.True healing often requires both "top-down" (mind) and "bottom-up" (body) approaches.Peace, purpose, and presence are available when we learn to stop identifying with our suffering.Eli Recht’s Bio:Eli Recht is a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT), EMDR clinician, spiritual counselor, and teacher of Self-realization based in Carlsbad, California.
