EPISODE 38: The AND principle when it comes to YOU

Why your emotional health is dependent on how you feel physicallygenerations ago can continue to shape our experience in the present. 

Generational trauma, also called intergenerational trauma and transgenerational trauma, is passed down through generations in families through genetic changes to a person's DNA after they experience trauma. 

I didn’t mean to get so heavy within the first few lines of this page, but it’s a reality that is often overlooked when going down a path of self-discovery. It’s never really just about you. 

If you want to create a life of peace, tranquility and harmony, then there are a few things you’re going to work through on your way there. 

Whilst most spiritual new age folks will tell you to meditate and journal, and all will come right, I’m here to say - yes that, AND a whole bunch of nervous system regulation, somatic movement therapy and neuro-change to go with. It takes more than only a meditation practice to create a life of ease, plenty and purpose.

It takes YOU, all four parts of YOU - ticking along smoothly.

And the four parts I’m referring to are the emotional. Physical. Mental and spiritual.

In this episode we explore many of the ways in which we can create lasting change in the mind, body, heart and spirit. 

What we talk about:

  • Generational trauma and inter-generational trauma
  • What your lineage has to do with your spiritual development and why it’s never really just about you
  • Understanding your default patterns and behaviours
  • Examples of where you de-fragment in your everyday life, and what that actually means
  • The power of unifying all parts of yourself across your life
  • How your subconscious mind can be in competition or conflict with your conscious desires
  • Why you need more than just meditation and journalling for real change
  • Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) - what it is, and how to use it for powerful change
  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and how it’s different to other modalities like NLP
  • The value of energy practices like Reiki, holistic and complementary therapies, alternative therapies, as well as physical practices like breath work, yoga, and nutrition
  • Why it’s vital to do what works for YOU, and not what someone told you worked for them
  • Why your emotional health is dependant on how you feel physically
  • What I do to start the process of figuring out what really is the best practice for me in the moment, including questions to sit with
