Feel This with Frank and Jess

Be back next Sunday!

Have you heard the phrase “Don’t Believe Everything You Think”? Well, what do we do when something “feels” SO true, but we know it’s not? We explore changing long-standing patterns and ways of seeing that can’t be changed by simply thinking differently.

TW: While there are no obvious triggers in this episode, please listen with care for yourself and your nervous system.

What do we do when an unresolved hurt from our past is suddenly activated simply by someone's response to what we’ve said? Today Jess and Frank take an opportunity for some live rupture and repair.

Today’s meditation moves the awareness down to the belly, bringing new meaning to the phrase “trust your gut”.

Then we share the discomfort of our current growing edges and the feelings that come with crossing the gap between who we are and who we want to be. Can we do it without causing harm?

So, getting to know my distortions is how I begin to myself and others?! In Part 2 we look at disidentification, distorted thinking and why it can be so intense to wake from these nightmares we call reality.

Frank begins with a nuanced meditation on sound which transitions into a nuanced exploration of our current mental patterns and stories.

Today we look at creating safe containment to be in direct relationship with our emotions. We’re looking specifically at anger, the compartmentalizing we do in childhood to keep ourselves safe, and how that cuts us off from our life’s energy and flow. We explore other options and ways of creating space for the “wild horses” within us.
