The Methodology

We are finally back from the hiatus! After being busy in all the best ways, the podcast is returning. This reset episode is about open heart embodiment, what that means for Joy as her life mission, and how you can move through the world with an open heart.

Open heart embodiment is a process. You don't just wake up with an open heart one day. It comes with a lot of work and daily practice. It's also not something that is permanently sealed into our being the moment we achieve it. We are human beings, and we will have moments of faltering.

So the episode today is about what it means to be embodied and to have an open heart.

In this Episode

• 5:12 - Leaning into discomfort to grow
• 6:22 - What is open-heart embodiment and how does it happen?
• 11:16 - The energy of forgiveness
• 18:40 - Daily practices to maintain open-heart embodiment
