#2 Nishan Disanayake - Kind Awareness and Embodied Aliveness

With 25 years of experience in meditation, Buddhist studies, and later somatic trauma therapy,  Nishan helps individuals to release stress, anxiety, and dullness, connect to the Earth, and grow into embodied aliveness.As a land and forest rights advocate in Laos for 6 years, Nishan experienced how human emotions are a powerful factor in creating successful actions for change.From these experiences he created the Kind Awareness online community, a space that offers authentic connection and support on one’s journey to happiness, embodied aliveness and uplifting action to take care of the Earth.In this enlightening conversation, we discuss the profound connection between awareness, the body, and finding peace in daily life. Nishan emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and feeling our emotions, offering practical exercises to ground ourselves in the present moment. The discussion explores the healing power of nature, the elements, and community. Nishan encourages listeners to take small steps toward well-being, reassuring them that they already have everything they need to experience peace. - If you would like to try some of the practice exercises mentioned here, to feel safer in your body and release stress, please click here to receive free practice videos and learn about the kind awareness community.https://kind-awareness.life/meditationsLISTEN / SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTYouTube: http://youtube.com/@soulplaycollectiveSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5icEbjpZncymw6w0ksEWcbApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1726862361Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulplay.collectiveFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554106794895NEW TO SOUL PLAY?Thanks for stopping by!
