from Rooted and Renewed: Healing Trauma and Restoring Faith · host Sheila Hochberg
Why does what we feel in our body matter… and how can something as simple as slowing down actually help?In this episode of the Rooted & Renewed podcast, I unpack the connection between physical symptoms, emotional patterns, and the nervous system, explaining why the body’s responses are not random, but meaningful.You’ll learn:• Why physical tension, overwhelm, or shutdown can be connected to deeper patterns• How the body and emotional system work together• What somatic (body-based) work actually does• Why slowing down and creating safety in the body matters for healing• What to realistically expect when you begin working with your bodyThis episode offers a simple, grounded understanding of how the body responds, and how healing often happens gradually, not all at once.If you’ve ever wondered why, you can understand something mentally but still feel it in your body… this conversation will help connect those dots.https://www.facebook.com/share/1E7Svifpnh/ We explore this more deeply inside the Healing Vault during our live sessions every Tuesday evening at 6:30 PM EST, inside the Rooted & Renewed Facebook group.Breath, Body, and God’s Design A SimpleScripture Reference GuideBreath as the Source of Life-Genesis 2:7- Job 33:4- Acts 17:25Breath and the Fragility of the Body- Job 27:3- Psalm 104:29–30- Isaiah 38:16Breath as Worship Through the Body- Psalm 150:6- Psalm 146:2Breath and the Renewal of Life- Ezekiel 37:5–6- John 20:22Breath as Divine Inspiration- 2 Timothy 3:16Take your time with these.This isn’t about studying harder…it’s about noticing what has been true all along
