  • 16: 2 Stages of Healing Trauma

    There are two different stages we go through when we are healing trauma.

    If you’ve done a lot of inner work — therapy, meditation, journaling, etc. — but feel as if you’ve hit a healing plateau where you have awareness of your patterns, but can’t quite step into the power of who you are by doing the things you know you have to do to get there, you’re likely coming to the end of the first stage of healing.

    Understanding stage one and stage two will support you in seeing what’s possible and what more there may be for you.

    I share what each stage looks like, the type of work that happens in each, and how you can shift from stage one to stage two.

    “In this stage (stage 2), you're nourished from the inside because you're connected to the life, to the divinity that's within you. When life is challenging, you can withstand it. It's a very juicy place to be.”

  • 15: Trauma Blocks Everything You Desire

    Trauma is the only thing that separates us from everything we desire.

    Trauma is separation from our life force energy. It’s what happens when we have experiences that we don’t have the capacity to be present for.

    There are obvious traumas — the things we all know are difficult.

    And then there is the moment-by-moment way that life nudges us out of our own power, our own authenticity.

    Ultimately, we are all traumatized to greater and lesser extents through fear and insecurity into living lives that are not our own.

    "It's our aliveness, which is what creates in the world, which is what attracts to us the people and the things that give our lives so much meaning, and when we have a lot of trauma, we don't have as much aliveness.”

  • 14: Riding the Waves to Create Flow

    When you're doing deep transformational healing work, big emotions can come up like sadness and anger, and our first instinct is to want to feel better.

    Riding the waves refers to a relationship to our emotions where we accept and even welcome our feelings as they come and go.

    Alison sees riding the waves as offering an opportunity to open and to hold more.

    Riding the waves allows us to flow through life without fighting, which frees up energy to respond to life as it actually is.

    In this episode, Alison shares how you can ride the waves of your emotions to free up your mental, emotional, and physical energy, allowing you to move through challenges with clarity and presence.

    “When you allow yourself to move through emotions rather than fighting them, you can relax and be supported in huge releases that come up, which results in massive energy gain because those feelings are there, and when we allow them to flow, we're no longer carrying them.”

  • 13: How to Get Transformative Psychedelic Results

    It’s possible to experience a big and lasting shift as a result of simply taking the medicine — there are miracles all of the time.

    But most of the time, it is up to us to create the impact of our psychedelic journey on our lives.

    Most of the people that Alison facilitates have life-changing journeys because it’s what they put into practice in their life to continue to run that energy.

    There are some very specific things that make a huge difference in whether or not you experience long-lasting transformation after working with psychedelics.

    Psychedelic medicine opens us up to new parts of ourselves, new things to see, feel, and experience, but making long-lasting shifts in our lives is not about medicine. We have to keep those new parts alive. We have to work things through.

    There's no substitute for that.

    In this episode, Alison shares:

    • The 5 principles her clients embody that support them in experiencing major transformations quickly when working with psychedelics
    • What you need to do to prevent yourself from falling into old patterns after your journey with psychedelics has ended
    • How to know what action to take after working with psychedelics to move toward your intention

  • Connecting With Your Sexual Energy Fuels Your Creation in The World

    We tend to compartmentalize our sexual energy.

    Some of us see it as strictly physical.

    Some of us see it as dirty or bad.

    Some of us see it as mostly emotional.

    Many of us don't think about it at all.

    In this episode, Alison is going to show how connecting with your sexual energy can support you in creating the life you desire.

    You’ll discover:

    • How sexual energy goes beyond the physical act of sex and why this expanded definition is key to healing the sexual aspect of yourself
    • Why working with your sexual energy isn’t just about your relationships
    • How sexual healing can support you in creating more ease and flow in the direction of the life you desire

  • Change the Way You Breathe, Change The Way You Live with Jenn Mansell

    Our life is defined by our breath — our first breath and our last breath.

    Yet so many of us are going through the world barely breathing.

    Today’s guest on Aliveness, Jenn Mansell, a certified breathwork facilitator and somatic coach, believes if you change the way you breathe, you change the way you live.

    In this episode, she shares how you can heal by getting out of your head and into your body using the power of breath, and she’s shared a free 20-minute breathwork practice for you to support you after the episode.

    “We have to let our body’s innate intelligence and wisdom, which we tap into through breathing, guide our path and to trust. The body is its own self-healing mechanism, so why wouldn't it do what it needs to do if we give it the right support and the right space?”

  • 9: Emotional Healing Allows You to Step Into the Fullness of Who You Are

    We often think of certain emotions as negative, and thus we're taught early to repress them.

    Usually, it's sadness, rage, and jealousy.

    It's exactly this imbalance that makes it challenging for us to change our behavior.

    When we have traumatic experiences— experiences that are too much for us to emotionally withstand at the moment— because we can't feel our emotions because they get locked away.

    This disturbs our flow and our ability to be present, which makes it difficult for us to create the lives we want to create in all areas of our lives.

    Discover:

    • Why we hold back our emotions and the impact that has on us
    • 3 pieces of emotional work that allow us to have a healthy relationship with a full range of emotions
    • How plant medicine can help you access your emotions so you can develop that healthy relationship quicker

  • 8: How to Change Your Mind When Microdosing with Psychedelics

    You’ll learn:

    • How microdosing gives us the ability to come into a relationship with our thinking
    • Why you need to heal your mental aspect when microdosing
    • How  microdosing changes the brain
    • How you can maximize results to change your mind when microdosing

  • 7: What’s Blocking You Is in Your Body, Not Your Head

    We tend to think that our blocks are in our heads, but often they're actually in our bodies.

    As we start to do personal work, we can see this because we know that logically we shouldn't be scared of this, there's nothing to worry about, we want to be a certain way, or we want to speak up for ourselves, because we know that's how we're going to step into the next level, and yet we can't do it because we’re are afraid.

    That fear lives in our bodies, so what's in our bodies has an impact on what we’re able to create in the world.

    Tune in to hear:

    • Why the body is a key part of realizing our intention
    • How unhealed trauma in the body can prevent you from making lasting change
    • How physical symptoms can illuminate psychological, emotional, and mental aspects that need to be healed
    • How to work with the body while microdosing to experience the most powerful transformations
