On today's episode, Luis explores what it means to be free. Freedom is messy, and full of mistakes and hypocrisy. In the United States, the diversity of people, thought, and lifestyle creates a tapestry that can be either settling or activating to our bodies and nervous systems.

Through personal and ancestral story, he discusses the role of agency, working with the discomfort of difference, and the practice of humanizing everyone.

In today’s episode, Luis explores somatic empathy and pendulation - swinging between two different sensations or experiences. He explains why we need to develop the skillset to regulate our somatic empathy to stay present while taking in media. 

When you watch someone in pain, this can create the sensation of "I feel pain your pain." Luis shares steps we can take to tend to that sensation so that we can acknowledge our sense of safety so that our response can be one of compassion.

How are screens - televisions, smartphones, iPads, and more -  impacting our bodies? In today’s episode, Luis breaks down how our bodies react to the news, social media feeds, and other forms of online media.

Today’s society has access to more experiences than ever before. Whether we know it or not, our bodies react to these experiences - whether painful, terrifying, or upsetting, and we lose the sense of our current reality. Luis breaks down this "somatic empathy" and shares a practice for how to manage it when we become overwhelmed by too much information.

Do you know what the freeze response is? In today’s episode, Luis explains how this natural tension in the body happens when we’re scared, threatened, or nervous. He does so by looking at videos from the animal kingdom. 

When we need it, the freeze response is helpful. It can protect us from a physical threat. But, when it results in fatigue or procrastination, it’s not so useful. It’s through somatic work that we can learn how to decipher whether or not we are threatened and feel safe in our here and now.
