Energy Works

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive.

We’re surrounded by advice about what to take, eat, track, optimize, and fix to feel better.
But what if we’re overlooking something much more basic?
In this episode, Lauren and Blaine explore the connection between emotions, energy, and the physical body, and why emotions like fear, anger, anxiety, worry, and grief may be giving us information we’ve never learned how to use.
Blaine also shares why she was skeptical of energy medicine after spending more than 20 years in Western healthcare. She didn’t immediately feel the energy everyone else seemed to be talking about, and for a long time, she wasn’t entirely convinced. What changed her mind was what she experienced as she kept practicing. 

Lauren and Blaine also share why this conversation became the foundation for their new six-week course, How Emotions Become Physical, created with Donna Eden, and what they hope people will begin to understand about their emotions and bodies in a completely different way.
If you’ve ever wondered why an emotion can feel like so much more than a feeling, this conversation is a good place to start.

Could something you’re carrying have started long before you?
Lauren sits down with Jill Purce for a fascinating conversation about family constellations, ancestral patterns, and the ways events from previous generations may continue to affect a family, even when no one knows the full story.
What happens when someone or something has been excluded from a family’s history? Can we acknowledge the people who came before us without approving of everything they did? And why might bringing something back into the story matter more than forgiveness?
Jill also shares how her decades of work with voice, chanting, and ceremony eventually led her to family constellations, including the mysterious experience of people seeming to know or feel things about a family they’ve never met.
From there, Lauren and Jill venture into some much bigger territory: resonance, energy, belonging, consciousness, and whether there are ways of knowing that we still don’t fully understand.
If you’ve ever wondered how much of your story began before you were born, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.

What if pain isn’t simply something to get rid of?
What if it’s trying to get your attention?
Lauren sits down with NUCCA chiropractor Dr. Chris Wambeke for a conversation that challenges some familiar ideas about pain, tension, and even what chiropractic care is meant to do.
Why might your body create tension on purpose? What if something that looks like misalignment is your body adapting to what’s happening in your life? And what can pain reveal when we stop treating it as the enemy?
Chris shares a very different way of looking at the relationship between the brain, spinal cord, and body, including an approach to chiropractic care that uses an incredibly light touch. He also introduces three surprising layers of pain that go well beyond the physical.
The conversation eventually ventures into energy, information, grief, consciousness, gratitude, and even what happened when Lauren’s dog Louis experienced this type of care.
If you’ve ever wondered what your pain might be trying to tell you, this conversation may have you asking some very different questions.

What if the change of seasons affects your digestion more than you realize?
As summer shifts toward fall, your energy and digestion may start responding to the transition, even before you notice anything feels different.
In Five Element theory, this time of year is connected to the Earth element, digestion, and our ability to feel grounded during change.
In this episode, Blaine shares why seasonal transitions can affect digestion, what you can do to support yours as we move toward fall, and two simple foods that are especially helpful this time of year.
She also gives you a 21-day challenge to try it for yourself and see what you notice.
Because you don’t have to wait until your digestion feels off to start supporting it.

Have you ever shared something personal and later wondered, “Should I have said that?”

Maybe you replayed the conversation afterward. Worried about how someone interpreted what you said. Or wished you could take it back.
Lauren and Blaine have both experienced that uncomfortable feeling of being seen and then second-guessing themselves. In this episode, they talk about what can happen after we put ourselves out there, including Lauren’s decision to delete podcast episodes she had already recorded and Blaine’s vulnerability hangover after sharing a very personal story.
Why are we sometimes comfortable being ourselves until we imagine someone judging us?
The conversation explores self-consciousness, fear of criticism, authenticity, and why some of us are especially sensitive to judgment, including what the Five Elements can reveal about our inner critic and our ability to let things go.

What if your emotional health is just as important to longevity as your sleep, nutrition, and exercise?
In this solo episode, Lauren explores the connection between our emotions, our bodies, and long-term health through the lenses of Energy Medicine Yoga, Ayurveda, and Chinese medicine. She looks at how unresolved or “undigested” emotional experiences may show up in the body, alongside what Western research is revealing about the relationship between emotional wellbeing, stress, and physical health.
Lauren also takes a critical look at the biohacking and longevity movement, especially the overwhelming number of supplements, tests, protocols, and expensive interventions promising to help us live longer. Using longevity advocate Bryan Johnson and his experience with autoimmune gastritis as a starting point, Lauren explores the concept of autoimmunity through the lens of Chinese medicine. She brings the conversation back to foundational health practices that are often overlooked because they aren't particularly monetizable: quality sleep, nourishing food, healthy digestion and elimination, relationships, community, creativity, purpose, and emotional wellbeing.
This episode is a grounded invitation to step back from the latest health trend and reconnect with the foundations that truly support wellbeing. Now available wherever you get your podcasts!

In this Big Ideas episode, Lauren Walker interviews Chrissy Mignona, an EMYoga advanced teacher and crisis mental health practitioner who wrote I Am Safe: Trauma Responsive Practices in Crisis Mental Health while completing EMYoga’s 300-hour training. Chrissy explains why she prefers “trauma responsive” over “trauma informed,” responding in real time to nervous system reactions and creating safety whether or not a person’s history is known. She also shares why she approaches this work side-by-side rather than positioning herself as the expert.

Drawing from her experience teaching in locked inpatient units, juvenile detention centers, and geriatric care settings, she shares how yoga can become accessible, choice-based, and conversational. She and Lauren discuss building agency, the “yes, and” teaching mindset, practitioner boundaries, self-advocacy, and working with dysregulation.

You’ll also learn three simple techniques you can use anywhere to help regulate your nervous system when stress or overwhelm takes over.

What if you want to help people heal, but you don't want to become a yoga teacher or therapist?

In this episode, Lauren Walker and Blaine Wilkes introduce their new Energy to Heal Facilitator Training, a five-day immersive workshop at Omega this October for people who want to bring simple, body-based healing practices into their communities.

Based on Lauren's book The Energy to Heal, the training teaches a clear, step-by-step process that participants first experience themselves before learning how to safely facilitate it for others. Throughout the conversation, Lauren and Blaine explain how Energy Medicine Yoga can help support stress relief, nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and trauma healing while emphasizing the importance of working within an ethical scope of practice and recognizing when someone needs specialized trauma support.
They also share what participants can expect from the training, including a complimentary one-year license to teach The Energy to Heal workshops, future certification opportunities, and why they're intentionally keeping this first training small to provide personalized guidance and hands-on support.
Whether you're a yoga teacher, coach, healthcare professional, wellness practitioner, or simply someone who wants practical tools to support others, this episode offers an inside look at a new pathway for bringing healing into your community.

In this solo episode, Blaine reflects on a conversation from a retreat about the fear that expressing "too much gratitude" might somehow cause it to be taken away. Why do we find ourselves waiting for something to go wrong, even when life is going well?

Through the lens of Chinese Medicine's Five Element Theory, Blaine explores how fear (Water), joy (Fire), and grief (Metal) shape the way we experience gratitude and respond to life's inevitable changes. She also shares a simple practice you can use the next time fear begins to take over.
