So without further ado, let me bring her up here and welcome you officially to Live Love Engage. MarBeth. MarBeth Dunn Well, I'm so grateful to be here with you, especially being grateful the day before Thanksgiving. Gloria Grace Rand That's true. Yes, yes. We are recording this the day before Thanksgiving, and it's been. Yeah, gratitude's been on my mind a lot this past couple of weeks, for sure. So I still can't believe it's the end of the month and that December is like Sunday. It's like, what? What happened to the year? I know, I know. It goes by so fast now, but. All right, anyway, let's get to it. Come on. People are here. They want to know about somatic healing. And so I thought, let's start with that. If you can explain to our audience what exactly is somatic healing? MarBeth Dunn Well, the word somatic, it references your body. And we talk about the body mind connection and how we need to be aligned with our body and mind. Well, is somatic healing in a nutshell? Basically, our bodies hold all of our traumas, they hold all of our old pains, all of the issues that we really haven't dealt with. They kind of reside in. They do reside in your body. And your body loves you so much. Your body is your partner and it really wants to help you. So it will send you messages, which may be like a pain in the neck when somebody who really annoys you is around, or you might feel a stabbing pain in your back when you feeling betrayed or just those stress knots in your shoulders or in your. In your solar plexus when you're feeling stressed and your body is saying, hey, hey, listen to me, you got to address this. We want to keep you healthy. So that's basically what I feel that somatic healing is. Gloria Grace Rand Yeah. And I can relate to that so much because I have definitely learned to pay attention more to my body when it is signaling those things. And in particular, I remember I had. After my sister passed, I was having a lot of back issues. And just like, you know, really, it really got to be quite frustrating. And I hadn't. I've had issues with the back in the past where I've, like, you know, bent some way, but it was just. No, it was just this pain, and I had to. Finally, I went to someone who was able to help me release that. But I have a feeling probably if I maybe met you, knew you back then, he might have been able to help me in a different way, perhaps. MarBeth Dunn So our back issues are very often about support. You know, maybe you're. You're feeling like a loss of support. Maybe your sister. Gloria Grace Rand Oh, yeah. Supportive, big time. Absolutely. Yeah. She. I used to call her my cheerleader because she would always be the one who would encourage me in my business. And without her, I was feeling quite lost for quite a while. So. Makes sense. How else do our bodies communicate with us, you know, because, you know, I can get that with our. With pains and certainly. But are there any other ways that we. We have that, you know, body knocking on our door and saying, hey, pay attention to me? MarBeth Dunn Yeah. Well, I was just reminded years ago, I was invited to speak on a Law of Attraction cruise. I had a radio show on the Law of Attraction network. And so I was speaking on this cruise. And I work for myself, you know, I don't work for someone else. I'm an entrepreneur. So in order to go on the cruise, I really did not have to record a lot of episodes before I left. I didn't have to record any because I could just, you know, set up some replays for while I was gone. I did not have to write a blog, but I was just a workaholic. And I insisted that I had to record all the episodes for while I was away. And I had to write all these blogs for while I was away. And I kept feeling this pressure building in my chest, but I wasn't paying any attention to it because I was pushing forward. Well, do you know, I stood up one day after working too many hours. I stood up and I stepped on a plug. You know, the kind of Plug that goes into the wall. And I heard a pop in my foot. Well, I spoke on the Law of Attraction Crews from a wheelchair. Gloria Grace Rand Oh, no. Oh. Oh, dear. MarBeth Dunn My body was trying so hard to get my attention. Like, you don't have to do this. What are you doing? You know, in retrospect, you know, it's actually funny, but at the time, you know, yeah, it was ironic. Gloria Grace Rand Absolutely. And I think, and maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard also that a lot of times when we, you know, come down with a cold or something, it's really our body's way of saying, hey, take a break. You're doing too much. MarBeth Dunn Well, not even. Not necessarily that. When I was recently in Las Vegas with my family, we were all in an Airbnb together, and the night before we were all going to leave. I woke up at three in the morning and I had this pain in my chest, like I was coming down with a cold. So I knew what to do. I started communicating with my body and I use muscle testing. And I just basically said to my body, I'm coming down physically with a cold. Nope. I'm feeling emotional issues coming up. Yes. So basically the sadness and the grief from leaving my family, you know, just feeling that sadness of separation was right there in my chest. And when I, you know, understood what was happening, I knew how to release it. And the next morning, you know, we were all feeling that sadness. We were all feeling that sadness of separation, but it doesn't mean we have to get sick, you know. And I found also, I lost a boyfriend. He died suddenly a long time ago, and I immediately started coming down with bronchitis because that's where our chests hold our grief and our sadness. You may also find that your throat can feel congested, and those are emotions that get stuck in your throat. So the key here is to be able to communicate with the body. And I find, you know, an easy way to do that is using a pendulum or muscle testing. And, you know, they're not difficult techniques. Be happy to share with you you know how to do it. But they're really helpful when you don't understand what your body's trying to tell you. Gloria Grace Rand Yeah, definitely, because it can be confusing sometimes and you may think, you know, but. Yeah. So, well, I tell you what, let's go. Can you do maybe a short example of what muscle testing is and maybe also describe it? I don't know if you can do that on here because I know normally, I know people will do, like, your, you know your arm and things. MarBeth Dunn I use a different kind of muscle testing. I loop my fingers together, my thumb and forefinger together. And if I would say, like, my name is MarBeth, and I held my fingers, it would hold. But if I said that my name is Grace, they pull apart. So I use the muscle testing by saying a statement, and I would test it by using the name. You know,...
