11/04/2023Present and Sober Podcast Episode 98Exploring Self: Self Enquiry

Self enquiry? What on earth are Sam and Ellie on about? This week we're diving a dive into the power of listening to ourselves (from the mind to the body and all in between). Why? Because the more in tune you are with what's going on 'inside', the more beautiful your life will become!

What You'll learn this week...
1. Silence and introspection- Insights come with a feeling of "not having to think or do something anymore"- Realizing the impact of not saying anything and just being there for someone
2. The power of breath and somatic awareness- Breath as a tool for connection with our physiology- Importance of choosing the right breathing technique- Conscious breathing and dealing with physical pain effectively- Inquiry at the felt or somatic level- Tuning into the body's wisdom and letting go of old patterns
3. Opening up to emotions and inner knowing- The science behind the mind and body connection- The speaker's journey towards comfort in silence and mindfulness practices- Techniques for understanding and identifying emotions- Restorative and relaxation practices like yoga nidra- Facing fears and emotions to experience peace and equanimity
