Awesome job for any alcohol free (AF) days that you did get - but perhaps more importantly - what did you LEARN?

I see you hard-working mom. Doing everything for everyone all day.
You wish you could do something for yourself - go to yoga class or run around the park like you used to or just read a book for like 30 minutes. But who will let you do that? You feel like you have to scrape and justify your needs so that you can take a few breaths to try and fulfill them because no one is coming to do it for you.
It only makes sense that you look forward to a drink at the end of the day!
And yet, if you've been looking forward to a drink a the end of the day for awhile now, and you're beginning to notice negative side effects, and this is something that you'd like to change - please know that this is something that is entirely possible.
You’re a wonderful mom. A loving mom, a fucking great mom!!
And if you’re excited about being a more present mom, drinking less can help you achieve that.

In January I am offering SOMETHING GREATER . It is a 21 day supported private community where you will deconstruct obsessive thinking about alcohol and use that focus and energy instead to create highly successful habits that you can use to further enhance any area of your life!

If you resonate with today’s episode I have a special invite for you - I’m offering a two day workshop experience called Emotional Un-Drinking on December 14th and 15th at 1:30 pm UK time. You do not have to attend live, you will get lifetime access when you sign up.
We will be working with the spiritual meanings and messaging of your emotions, specifically the emotions which typically trigger you to feel like drinking. And we will be doing somatic and hypnotic exercises to help liberate that energy from your body.
Because when you learn that you don’t have to fear anything that is your own experience you truly feel like there is no reason to hide, there is nothing to escape from, you are at home with yourself and you can find peace, love, and acceptance right where you are.
Join Emotional Un-Drinking

Jess

Free Guide 'Drink LESS, Self-Care MORE'
A few lessons learned from this Thanksgiving at 26 years old.
1.Not having a strong support system outside of my ride or die friends who were also on the party train, compelled me to believe that I was emotionally alone much of the time. This feeling of loneliness, even when you are surrounded by people, is a driving force to go to bars, go get drunk because that is how one gets immediate company and a false sense of community.
2.Tofurkey is not a real food.
3.My life had been designed, constructed around drinking, drinking activities and other people who drank, And so If I didn’t drink or didn’t want to, that would mean an identity crisis which our minds try to avoid at all costs.
Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

This is a session extracted from my program Happier Hour. In this session you will learn how cravings and urges are psychological phenomena and the ideal way to manage them is to acknowledge them, and allow them to pass through the body as a SENSATION and not something that needs to be acted upon.

Tell yourself a new story about you and Alcohol inside of What do Wino
In today's episode I sit down for a Zoom convo with my awe-inspiring friend and fellow California Institute of Integral Studies alum Ana Bess Moyer Bell.
Ana Bess holds a Masters degree in Drama Therapy from New York University and has been a practicing clinician since 2014. She is the founder of COAAST (now 2nd Act) and has practiced and taught drama therapy nationally and internationally and is a commissioned playwright. She is currently on the advisory board at the Rhode Island Department of Health helping to create and maintain the medical regulations for the nation's first legal harm reduction centres. She is a senior advisor to RI Governor Daniel J. McKee on substance use, harm reduction, and recovery.
Listen in to hear how personal tragedy inspired her to create the work that she now does, from developing grassroots theatre to effecting policy change for harm reduction clinics and resources.
Even tho the focus of her work is on illicit substance use, the same conversation could be had around with alcohol use - the subsequent shame, loneliness, denial and search for relief are all relevant.

Alcohol is the gateway drug not only for the subsequent usage of other drugs and substances but also because it gives spirits access to your nervous system.
Alcohol lowers our vibration and in excess, causes a toxic environment for our spirits to be in, it has also been shown in Kirlian photography to generate holes in the auric field. Our divine spirit then partially or even fully leaves the body but is still tethered to it. And when our spirit is essentially NOT HOME, this becomes an opening and even an invitation for other spirits or energies to enter our bodies and animate them in ways that are not really us, not really in alignment with who we want to be or what we want to be doing, things that are out of character.
Some spirits actually have a thirst or a craving for alcohol which then becomes your body’s thirst or craving for alcohol. And this also explains why we do or have done horrible things while intoxicated, or ended up hurting ourselves or others, and putting ourselves in danger sexually and physically. Because these lower vibratory spirits have no regard for your body, your well being or your good intentions.
Here to inform not to freak you out.

My name is Jessica. I am a guide, a holistic healer, a hypnotist, and a visionary for custom personal development. The rabbit…
First, hypnosis. Hypnosis allows you to view the memories latent and blocked within you, that have acted on you and dictate your life without your knowing. With this process, you do not relive but you review, significant events of the past which affected you with significant beliefs about yourself, other people, or the world. In this state you are given the opportunity and the skills to reframe what you made an event MEAN. Because meaning determines beliefs, beliefs determine thoughts, thoughts govern behavior. Repeated behavior is our habits and habits quite literally, MAKE you. They give you your ultimate experience of life. So if you want a new experience of life, you reverse engineer the sequence beginning with meaning.
While hypnosis clears the past, Coaching brings you forward, calling and beckoning you into your next stage of evolution, a spiral upwards. True coaching is not advice or rules or templates. It relies on the premise that you have the answers, that you are the one who can get you out, that you are already whole and powerful. You just need a plan of action, a focus on the greater picture, a hinging on personal values not just numbers and metrics. The great reveal of coaching is that it connects you with your emotional internal drivers, and this is what keeps you active in striving and thriving. This is what makes you feel like a magical human.
While you are going through a process of deep change work, it is wise to support your nervous system with adaptogenic herbs and when desired, plant medicine in minute amounts. These can be used for creating even more intention, healing ritual and place holders for 'treats and rewards' while your entire being shifts into a state of new awareness of who you get to BE.
When these modalities are utilized properly, the difference in how you feel is radical.
You become intimately familiar with a version of you that you have known along, but maybe has been hiding, maybe has some fear to work through, some self-forgiveness to offer. You are exactly in the right place.
This is radical healing. This is The Roots of Health.
To your health and healing,
Jess at The Roots of Health
