Ep. 36 | Breakthrough and Break Free from Pain, Negative Self-Talk, and Subconscious Patterns of Self-Sabotage with Tantra, Breathwork, and Somatic Experiencing

Most self-sabotage happens at a subconscious level. Meaning that so often, we’re completely unaware of how conditioned thoughts and behavior patterns are holding us back. The first step to healing and breaking through these unconscious blocks is to develop practices of self-reflection and mindfulness, leading us towards self-awareness and raising our consciousness around how our behavior patterns are directly connected to the thoughts and beliefs that live in our minds. The sad truth is that this is the step where so many stop on their journey– dead in their tracks– before they even get going. That's because it’s not the fun or sexy ‘meditate + radiate positive vibes only’ type of practice that is going to help us heal. Breaking through deeply rooted self-beliefs requires a hard and honest look inward: a place where many are afraid to go. It can be painful to acknowledge where our blocks come from. And there are reasons for that. Somewhere along the way, we learned to live in fear of being ourselves. And that if we allow ourselves to show up fully, that there are parts of us that will be rejected, shunned, or deem us unlovable. And that hurts. But the thing about pain is that the only way out is through. We have to breakthrough to break free. Tune in to learn why I believe that Embodiment practices like Tantra, Breathwork, and Somatic Experiencing are our most powerful tools for healing, self-empowerment, and emotional liberation.
