We had the amazing opportunity to sit with the incredible holistic healer Grace Wormwood. Grace incorporates cranial sacral therapy, energy work and somato emotional release for well rounded healing. From this earthly realm to the ones we can't see, we covered ALL levels on how to heal and tap into experiences that are more than human.

Identifying the difference between Spiritual Emergence experiences and Psychosis.

How to calm our nervous systems. ground deeply into our bodies and work with our energy system in order to access our infinite self-healing potential.

We deep dive into our multiple perspectives on what it means to be creators of our own reality, why this is such a multi-layered conversation and why doing our trauma healing work is an essential first step.

Tapping into our interdimensional nature and opening up to the guidance and assistance of our soul families while we are incarnated in a human body.

Opening up to perceiving realities beyond what our system has conditioned us to believe is acceptable.

March 15, 202155. It's an Honor to Grieve You With Tj Mangrum
Spurred by the recent loss of Paula’s beloved kitty, we sat down with our good friend and infinitely wise yoga teacher Tj Mangrum to honor the life, love and the corresponding grief for our animals who have passed. In this episode we deep dove into:
The infinitely beautiful gifts that have come our way from fully allowing the grieving process.

The balancing act of relating to life from the wisdom of surrender and acceptance while remaining fully engaged and in love with the experience of being alive.

The nuanced yet important difference between acceptance and apathy.

Why in order to feel anything we have to be willing to feel everything and why that requires that we challenge our fears of conversations on death.

Tj guided us through a deep and beautiful 10 minute guided meditation for healing through grief.

About Pretty Mental

From the publisher's feed

Pretty Mental is about accepting our full selves and inspiring others to do the same by being daringly unfiltered. This means completely normalizing all things mental health and the wild journey that has brought us here. We are challenging the stigmatization of normal human suffering. We are done pretending and subscribing to the notion that it’s taboo to have challenging mental health experiences.
