Nisha's Podcast : Devotion

Today’s conversation with Eos Koch concerns abundance, whole exploring the podcast themes of courage, possibilities and imagining what futures for humanity might be possible.

Eos guides us through ideas around how many aspects ofsociety are built around scarcity, and as our default, tend to be what naturally feels comfortable. Why abundance feels scary in our systems, yet comfortable, as it is often a mindset we adopted early in life.

Exploring why ‘too much’, needing more, or neverenough are from scarcity, and aren't truly the abundance frequency.
We take the time to feel being in the river of abundance,feeling the frequency and the expansion. Including a discussion around how we can learn the sensations of abundance and use it as an inner compass.

Imagine how the world might be if we all could come into thefrequency of abundance, when two people meet, the frequency multiplies.

How do the things we see around us, places where the collective unconscious isn’t in the frequency of abundance, knock us out of our frequency?

Unlocks a layer of your true essence, opening movement,transformation and healing.

Eos invites us to ask ourselves, how much do we trustourselves to be a steward of money? Can we cocreate more abundance frequency stewards of money, by finding and growing the frequency within?

May this conversation allow you to access and explore your own Abundance Codes.

Today I'm sharing with you a tool I learned years ago, and honestly wish I had been more devoted to since I discovered it.

The tool is referred to as Lofty Questions and is one I learned from a MindValley teacher named Christy Marie Sheldon.

As is becoming typical of my sharing style I did head off on a few tangents in this one, but hope you can grasp the concept of Lofty Questions and I invite you to play around with this for yourself.

You can find more on Lofty Questions, including a list of examples at this MindValley Blog post https://blog.mindvalley.com/lofty-questions/

Have you ever heard the term synchronicity? Spell check on my computer used to pick it up as a spelling error, but that is no longer happening - I have to guess this is because more and more people use this term.

In this episode, I share a little of my lived experience with synchronicity, many of which at the time had me saying to myself "You can't make this stuff up!"

Including some that weave in with the passing of a dear friend, so be ready for some emotional deep breath moments.

I would love for you to share any of your own synchronistic experiences ([email protected]), maybe that's what led you here.

So much love,

In this episode, Jo delves into the concept of embodiment with Dr. Pavini Moray, exploring how this approach can help us create a more connected world.

Dr. Moray, who identifies as a fat, queer, trans-bodied person, shares how embodiment is a radical choice for them. They acknowledge that many individuals do not feel safe to be embodied, but for them, this journey has fostered greater self-trust.

They believe that focusing on needs—personal, collective, and relational—can have the most significant impact on humanity. In collaboration, can we meet everyone’s needs as best as possible? “Being in community allows me to be a student of living in a relational way,” Dr. Moray shares.

The conversation also touches on Dr. Moray’s book, How to Hold Power. While power is often perceived as something external, exploring their perspective on discovering power within. Including asking ourselves “What’s the skilful step I can take that maintains connection and allows me to stay in my integrity?”

Additionally, they share insights gained from dolphins about community, joy, play, and love, as well as lessons from manatees about deep presence and regulation.

The episode concludes with a thought-provoking idea on what it means to be a true collective, urging us to see beyond a human-centric view of the world and recognize ourselves as part of something greater.

Dr Pavini Moray

Dr. Pavini Moray is a founder and author with more than 30 years of experience as an educator, activist, somatic coach, and serial entrepreneur. They support humans and organizations to evolve their communication and enjoy thriving relationships. Pavini's new book is "How to Hold Power: A Somatic Approach to Becoming a Leader People Love and Respect," They are a queer, trans, nonbinary human walking the glitter path of dancing bones, ridiculous delight, and old magick.

Pronouns: They/Them. 

In this episode, alongside an update on the courageous decisions I've been stepping into these past months, I share 3 tools that I use to lean in and trust that my choices come from a heart-based place.

In this episode of the Courageous Possibilities Podcast, Jo chats with Somatic Trauma Healer and Embodiment Coach, Marina Nabão.

Marina shares her wisdom around embodiment and somatic work, and the ways that connecting to and integrating layers of the 'soma' can support us to better know the truth of who we are. Embodiment can also help us to feel more aligned with our unique purpose, and have greater access to energy and life force.

We also discuss some steps that each of us can take to tune in with our own bodies and nervous systems, and some ideas around daring the structures and status quo and taking radical responsibility for the choices we are making in our lives.

As mentioned a couple of times in the episode, Jo and Marina connected as Marina was one of the senior teachers in the VITA Coaching method that Jo has certified with.
