The Grounding Room

This episode takes you on a journey inward, guiding you gently away from the noise of the outside world and into the space of deep stillness.  Through layered tones, resonant vibrations and subtle shifts in frequency, I invite you to release tension, quiet your mind, and reconnect with your breath.As this soundscape unfolds, allow each note to wash over you, grounding your the body and softening the mind.  There is nothing for you to do here.  Just sit back, eyes closed, and let the journey begin....Send us Fan Mail

In the last episode, I told you I would upload a few short meditations to try if you are someone that just hasn't been able to meditate in the past.   This meditation is short and won't need your attention for too long.  It's a great starting point for trying meditation.  Remember, you don't need to shut your brain or mind off, just notice what comes up and then bring your attention back.  It's that simple.  The music in this episode is titled Sanguive and the Artist is Joseph Beg.   It was provided by Epidemicsound.comSend us Fan Mail

[TW: This episode mentions Suicide]  In this episode Elizabeth and I explore grief through different lenses.  We take many twists and turns as we explore what grief has looked like over the years for us.  This is a more personal journey into some enlightened ways we have come to look at loss in our life.  While we may have had to dissect our emotions along the way, finding ways to understand and heal from loss is something we have gotten really comfortable with.  It's not easy and it takes time, sometimes years.  If you enjoyed hearing this episode with Elizabeth, leave us a comment and we will have her back on. Actually, we will probably have her back on anyways, she's brilliant. 😉Send us Fan Mail

This episode starts with an experience I had the other day, that we can all relate to.  The friend that says yes to too many things, the burnout you see on their face and hear in their voice.  We all know it but they can't seem to see it's destroying them from the inside out.  I'll end by giving you a simple and real life tool to carry with you daily, to use when you are feeling the burnout of your own life.

This episode is an introduction to The Grounding Room.  I believe in the power our body has to heal and through my Somatic Practice, I hope to bring you on a journey with me to learn some not-so-typical ways to regulate the nervous system, release stored emotions, and reduce stress, anxiety and depression.  I am certified in breath work, meditation, art therapy, forest bathing, sound therapy and have been a licensed massage therapist for 24 years.  Think about adding some alternative healing into your life as a tool to use along side traditional western medicine and talk therapy.  This is stepping outside the box into a look at the astounding ability our body has to heal in ways we may have never thought possible. The Music in this episode is https://www.epidemicsound.com/artists/roy-edwin-williams and was provide by Epidemicsound.com Send us Fan Mail
