Our Bodies Hold the Medicine

In this episode of Mythic Mel, I sit down with healer Christine Grace to talk about her journey in energy medicine, what her body's suffering taught her, and how to create a life that feels true and authentic to you, not who other people think you should be. Together we unpack the meaning of the concept of intention and break down what it looks like in real life to be “in balance”, acknowledging that, since energy is always moving and is meant to - perfect and constant stability is an impossible ideal. I love how Christine shares what matters most: Embracing and celebrating your wonderful flavor of “weird”, identifying and coming into right relationship with your unique energetic blueprint, learning what it means to truly nourish and love yourself.  She talks about practical strategies to recalibrate your elements and harness your strength, power and alchemy.  Christine Grace dives deep into the intelligence of the first chakra – stressing the importance of ancestral healing and – and alchemizing our relationship to our families of origin and to our bodies.  Listen in and you will also meet El Viejo and learn what this Wise One taught her about what she could choose to change about her approach to life. Struggle doesn’t always look the same. Sometimes we know exactly what we’re moving through. Other times, we only know that something feels off. Whether navigating transition, uncertainty, loss, illness, or the impact of trauma, Christine Grace creates a space to pause, listen, and begin from wherever you are. At the heart of her work is an unwavering belief that we each hold an innate ability to heal on all levels…body, mind, heart, and soul. Through sound, breath, and embodied awareness, she guides people toward a place where the nervous system can soften, the mind can clear, and something deeper can be felt again. This isn’t about fixing anything or escaping your life. It’s about building the capacity to meet life with greater steadiness, resilience, and choice.Christine is a Reiki Master Teacher, sound practitioner, and certified coach, with advanced training in breathwork, Yoga Nidra, meditation, and HeartMath. Her work is not defined by modalities. It is shaped by lived experience, deep listening, and a deep respect for the wisdom each person already holds.
