I have been using the words "embody" and "embodiment" as part of my everyday language recently.  My husband asked me, "What do you mean by embodiment?"  It took me some thought to describe it to him.  Using language to describe a feeling, an experience, is conflicting in itself.  Today's HOTSEAT episode explores the concept of embodiment.  Anyone interested in self development, higher consciousness, or 'waking up' will find themselves encountering this word at some point in your journey.  Have you thought about this word before?  What does it mean to you?  I would love to hear your reflection to today's HOTSEAT question.  Find me on Instagram or send me an email at [email protected].  If you enjoy this episode, I would appreciate your support by sharing the episode with a friend, rating the podcast, and following the show on Instagram!

There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing.  We run our bodies multiple miles and spend hours in the gym strengthening our muscles, but how many of us engage in intentional breath-work?  QiGong is an ancient breath-work technique that, when practiced regularly, can improve ones' health and vitality.  Today you will hear from Sloane Warren, a practiced QiGong facilitator,  body worker, and on-camera actress.  Sloane is passionate about healing and bringing people together to increase consciousness through the practice of QiGong.  Learn about QiGong, Sloane, and her Global QiGong Movement in this week's episode.

Many of us correlate hypnotherapy with a pocket-watch swinging back and forth and the phrase, "you're getting sleepy." Today's episode reworks this all too common stereotype and brings to life the practical applications of hypnotherapy.  Learn what hypnotherapy actually is and how Brett Sorel, modern day hypnotherapist and holistic healer, uses it to help people live in alignment with their authentic selves. I guarantee* that by the end of the episode, you will have greater respect for the technique and see its value in healing.

Inserting needles into the body to help you heal is not logical, but dreaming at night doesn't make any sense either.  In this episode, you will hear acupuncturist Maddy Cunningham share her knowledge on acupuncture and how she uses it to create greater balance within the body.  Whether you've visited an acupuncturist or not, this conversation will delight you, and probably have you seeking out an acupuncturist in your area.  We touch on how to work with food in springtime, talk chronic health conditions, and even connect the 5 elements (fire, earth, wood, metal, and water) to the astrology qualities. Not only is Maddy trained in traditional Chinese acupuncture, but her personal practice includes the use of functional medicine, a systems biology–based approach to health that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease.  Maddy is an incredibly dynamic healer, which you will soon discover in this episode.  I mean, who leaves a successful career in finance to pursue acupuncture?  Maddy does, that's who!  Maddy practices in Boston at Precision Acupuncture Health and Wellness located in Riverside, Boston
