Quotes from Episode:

"Anger is one of the most powerful emotions for infusing your life with Life Force energy, but it is often denied in our culture because people don’t know how to express anger healthily."

"Scream into your hands, stamp your feet! Spend 10 minutes doing this instead of bypassing your emotional body. Avoid falling into distractions, addictions, or sinking into a well of self-pity within a never-ending loop of processing and mistakenly labeling it as spirituality."

In today's episode, we explore how to overcome personal limitations around finances through embodiment practices. Raven emphasizes the significance of understanding one's 'glass ceiling' - the unconscious personal limitations that limit openness to happiness, love, financial success, and personal expression.

Raven discusses transformative tools, such as visualizing and feeling our ultimate reality, confronting unconscious fears within the body, and practising embodiment exercises to integrate these changes. She concludes the episode by guiding us through a practice to visualize and connect with our future selves, who are earning our desired income and living in alignment with our Dharma.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• The Importance of Felt Sense
• Visualizing Your Ultimate Vision
• Manifesting Money and Overcoming Limiting Beliefs
• Healing the Receiving Wound

Quotes from Episode:

“You can't just decide, “Oh, okay, I'm going to do this” because unless your body believes it, it's not going to happen. A lot of the beliefs that you have that actually hold you back are unconscious. And what is the only way to access the unconscious? Through the body”

“If you are living in your dharma, you are fundamentally worthy of receiving support from spirit. I honestly don't have to do anything these days. Everything just comes to me. You can have that if you know you're fundamentally worthy.”

‘What can we learn from our addictions? ‘ What problems are we trying to solve through our over-reliance on alcohol, drugs, or social media?’ 

These are some of the questions Raven explores in this episode on addiction and self-awareness. As a reformed workaholic, Raven draws on her experience of using work to avoid thinking about difficult emotions, and she invites her students to sit with their discomfort and replace their harmful addictions with healthier ones.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• Avoiding judgment  
• Coping effectively with triggers
• Learning to stop distancing yourself from your body
• Letting go of addictions that don’t serve you 

Quotes from Episode:

“Every time you go in and focus on the internal instead of the external you are growing in your capacity to be with what is. And that's the key.” 

“Anything that's creating suffering is actually an opportunity to go in and ask ourselves the question, what am I protecting myself from through this distancing strategy, and what would happen if I allowed myself to feel it?”

In an extract from the second day of the recent Living Tantra retreat, Raven explains the transformative effect of embodiment work and invites her students to breathe deeply and sink into the parts of their bodies where they store their emotional trauma.

Raven urges the participants to embrace their emotions and vocalize their long-buried pain and anger. Within this nurturing and supportive atmosphere, attendees find the strength to confront and acknowledge these emotions, empowering themselves to give voice to their deeply suppressed pain, anger, and frustration.

Topics discussed in this episode include: 

• Embodiment versus mindset work
• Finding safety in your body 
• The soft power of surrender 
• Dropping into a space that enables more authenticity and aliveness

Quotes from Episode: 

“You are more than your nervous system responses and reactions. There is a greater wisdom right now that is the wisdom of your body. This wisdom will evolve you beyond your conditioning and will free you from the shackles of going through life on automatic.” 

“The source of beliefs that aren’t serving you, live within your cellular memory and the structure of your being. Only when we start to actually feel, express, experience them, do all those frozen parts of us start to become more free.”
