We reflected on a real-life example of what happens to our community dynamics when our world is operating from a place of trauma, how we can start approaching our emotions as messengers, we also take you guys into what we describe as energy surfing, which means being the observer of the shifts in energy that happen within each one of us and in the collective without trying to control it, repel it or becoming attached to it. This helps us travel light and stay aligned with the flow of life. And we processed through the aspects of quarantine life that we want to make sure we take with us as the world begins going back to normal.

Valentina takes us into her recent experience with breathwork and getting trained to be a breathwork facilitator. We also talked about trauma-informed emotional regulation and grounding practices, the ways in which we are literally all connected, why our emotional states are contagious and why it’s so important that we all learn to take responsibility for emotions.

The MindBodyGreen Podcast

We sat down and unpacked the ways in which positive thinking is a premature strategy if we have not processed through and integrated our trauma.  We also share a technique that was inspired by Paula’s work in hypnotherapy for working through this at home, not in the place of therapy but as a supplementary tool for you guys. We also did some deep diving into the psychology behind that popular saying that our emotions create our reality.

Rebel Women: Grieving the Loss of Normalcy event | RSVP here: https://rebelwomen-grievingnormalcy.splashthat.com/

For today’s podcast, we sat down with an Amazing woman, Norah Diaz. Norah has cohabited with the indigenous groups of the Sierra for the past 20 years. This is extremely rare because until very recently, these groups very rarely interacted with any outsiders. They are the last remaining Pre-Columbian civilizations of the Americans, meaning they existed before the Colonizers arrived and, sheltered by the landscape of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, were able to stay isolated and keep their culture intact. In this Interview, Norah shares with us the powerful consciousness through which these groups interact with life and the natural world. With the environmental crisis that we are currently facing, it is now imperative that we open our hearts and minds to the consciousness and the teaching of the indigenous peoples of our planet who have millions of years of experience when it comes to living in harmony with the earth. 

This was actually a wild moment for us because for the past 10 years we’ve been obsessed with the way of life of the indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada and Paula actually used to create art projects of mini-worlds inspired by them. So to say that this was an absolute honor is an understatement.
