Worthy Stokes: The Liberation in Acceptance & Taking Life 60 Seconds at a Time

Beth Clayton (your host) is a soul-based life coach who loves to help open-hearted people break free from their own self-sabotage, outdated thought patterns, and past pain so they can deepen their relationship with their own soul's intuition, speak their truth courageously and fulfill their most authentic desires. She knows that creating in our external world is all about going deeper into our internal world and finding our own liberation. She is the creator of multiple group programs, retreats, and transformational workshops, leading hundreds of truth-seekers toward finding freedom and ease in their relationship with themselves, empowerment in their lives, and the ability to take powerful and consistent action toward their dreams.    Worthy Stokes is the founder of HeartMind® Meditations and author of The Daily Meditation Book of Healing. She is a polytrauma survivor who lives with life-altering sensory loss since overcoming a complicated traumatic brain injury overseas at the age of 34. Her vivid Near Death Experience, a decade of advanced meditation training that began in 2008 with her introduction to Dzogchen, and her battle to retrieve her very own mind inspired her career of teaching meditation and coaching at the nexus of nondual wisdom, emergent neuroscience, and open awareness. Worthy is endorsed by world-renowned medical doctors teaching at Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, and beyond. She is widely known as a healer for the healers among award-winning CEOs, trauma survivors, psychologists, and somatic experts who appreciate her interdisciplinary perspective of meditation. Worthy has spent countless hours with her neurologists reviewing maps of her own brain, she has followed clinical research studies since meeting the late Dr. Candace Pert in 2007, and she directly apprehends the mystical complexity of transformation. She guides online meditation programs and shares her free time with her husband, who is an adult literacy expert; he helps her read and write. Worthy holds a bachelor of arts degree in Journalism, and she is currently writing her second book. And yes, crazy but true, Worthy is her real, given birth name;)   In this session, we will dive into: How emotional contagion is surfacing in collective trauma and how we are experiencing it on an individual level.  How Worthy's NDE, polytraumatic brain injury, and sensory loss prepared her to ground herself amidst uncertainty and change.  The trauma that can happen in quarantine that is associated with activation and simultaneous entrapment.  The gifts present in the time of quarantine and global pandemic.  How Worthy learned to start living sixty seconds at a time.  Why hitting rock bottom and acceptance of "terrible circumstances" is the first step in liberation.  Why denial can be super valuable as we travel toward acceptance.  How denial keeps us separate from our intelligence and resourcefulness.  Why we always receive the information we need to heal at the exact moment we are strong enough to handle it.  The importance of giving ourselves and others grace as we learn and transform.   Check Worthy Out: My heart travels with you, Worthy Stokes www.worthystokes.com Instagram: @iamworthystokes Founder of HeartMind® Meditations Author of The Daily Meditation Book of Healing HeartMind® Meditation Teacher on Insight Timer   You can find Beth at: @bethclaytoncoach on Instagram www.soulbodylife.com Grab your free e-book, "The Secrets in Your Sabotage" at www.soulbodylife.com/free-stuff Beth's TedX RIGHT HERE.
