I'm Awake! Now What?

This week I sit down with breathwork teacher and healer Ana Lilia to discuss her work helping people remove blocked energy, relieve anxiety, embodiment practices, and empowering people to gain clarity, balance, and peace. Ana candidly shares her own struggles with anxiety and how breath work helped her become more grounded, less tense, and in tune with bodies reactions to outside stimuli. She also discusses a personal story of familial relapse during the pandemic, and how her and her family continue to move through this. Lastly she reminds the audience that anxiety is not something to feel ashamed of, in fact our lives in general are not designed to have our nervous system in a relaxed state, Ana says. So it's important we hold ourselves in compassion and kindness when our anxiety arises and breathe.

This week I sit down with world renowned astrologist and psychologist Debra Sliverman to discuss her book "The Missing Element: Inspiring Compassion for the Human Condition." Debra shares what the four elements are, how they can present in each person, what to look out for from the shadow side of each element and how to cultivate the element that is least dominant to create internal balance and harmony. Debra and I discuss humanity as a volunteer position and how her book is meant to help people alchemize and share their human experiences. We also discuss how understanding the elements and astrology is great for self-education but also wonderful for understanding the people in our ecosystems better and interacting with them from a place of compassion and curiosity.
