Hello and welcome to the first episode of  «The breathing body» podcast after the Christmas break. My name is Flurina and I am your host -  and I am so happy that you are here - and I am so excited diving into a new year with you. 

It is with great intention - and with a huge step out of my comfort zone -  that the first episode of this new year is a solo episode. Me and my body this is my story. I found healing from disordered eating when I allowed a dialogue between my body me and when I gave her a voice. The power within emotions and feelings became the sweetest song and strongest dance I could ever share. This is my creator force and feminine spirit, wanting to be awakened and expressed. 

This story I share with you today. 

… and by doing this curving the path and direction of this podcast a bit deeper - may this podcast be a source of inspiration / an archive for all of us to be awakened to the miraculous body we are and inhabit and may it be a platform for women who are going a similar path like I did and do to find inspiration and support to heal from disordered eating and awaken to their feminine spirit. 

About today's guest, myself, FLURINA :-)

I am an Osteopath, lecturer, researcher, dancer, artist and mother of the podcast «The Breathing Body». And, I am a woman who suffered from an eating disorder for many years - and found healing through movement, body awareness and falling in love with the fascination and miracle my expresses every day - the sweet song of feelings and emotions.

I initially trained as a dancer in Denmark and the Netherlands. During this time, I encountered many somatic practices, in particular the Alexander Technique and Ideokinesis which continuously teaches me as a facilitator the art of creating space and finding ease in movement by using images and imaginations. 

The wish of engaging my hands in care for others led me to gain a Masters` degree at the European School of Osteopathy. I am currently practicing in private clinics in Kent and London, as well as training as a paediatric osteopath at the Osteopathic Center for Children in London. 

I am fascinated by the physical matter of our body and how we came to be. I am continuously exploring an experiential and poetic approach towards being human and the potential of human touch for healing.

In this episode you learn a lot about myself, my journey through an eating disorder and the insights I won from it. I talk about … 

• I talk about the pearls of my childhood


• Why I was convinced for years that  "I am not good enough"


• And how this lead me to struggle with food


• What therapies worked for me and which didn't!


• Why learning about the embryo was a key point on my recovery path


• What pain means to me


• My top recovery "supporters":


• Dr. Anita Johnston`s wonderful book and how it saved my life! 


• How healing through an eating disorder allows you to create a life beyond your greatest dreams!

I hope you can take something with you listening to my story, thoughts, insights, inspirations and action steps which I shared in today's episode - and that it nurtures your journey and healing too. 

I am looking forward hearing from you - what inspired you the most? What was most precious for you from today's episode? What would you like to hear more about? I am excited to read about your thoughts of this episode - share it with me on Instagram @flurina_breathingbody. 

Lots of love to you,

Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast «The breathing body». My name is Flurina and I am your host -  and I am so happy that you are here.

Do you struggle with sugar cravings? Feel like sugar controls you? That s how I felt a couple of years back -

Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast «The breathing body».

My name is Flurina and I am your host -  and I am so happy that you are here.

The body is a process and not an object, not a thing - we can't learn about it, but only experience and live through it - experiencing a living process. And this is what it means to engage the movement of life. This is embodiment …

… Embodiment, Self-care and Healing - we talked about all of that and so much more, explored wonderful, nurturing and inspirational insights and ideas - and equally will leave you with ongoing questions - which's reflection upon is equally nurturing too. 

Let me further introduce this episode by telling you about my guest, Bonnie Gintis:

Bonnie Gintis, DO lives in in northern Vermont. She has taught worldwide, addressing physicians and all people interested in exploring embodiment. She retired from Osteopathic private practice in 2009 and now devotes herself to teaching, writing, and exploring new ways to foster health and wellbeing. She is the author of Engaging The Movement Of Life: Exploring Health And Embodiment Through Osteopathy And Continuum.

Bonnie studied Continuum extensively with its founder Emilie Conrad and taught in collaboration with her for a long time. She was authorized by Emilie to teach Continuum herself, and now teaches a synthesis of all her areas of exploration and expertise. Continuum is an exploration into the fluid dance of life as it unfolds through our being and the world around us - a practice where movement is the teacher.

The practice of meditation is and has been fundamental on Bonnie`s journey as well. She trained to be a teacher of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and has explored many approaches to mindfulness within and outside of Buddhist traditions.

AND, together with her husband she is the host of her own podcast called Osteopathy unplugged - through which they are creating a comprehensive "textbook" of Osteopathic Clinical Philosophy based upon the 21st century oral tradition of podcasting.

In the conversation with Bonnie we talked about … 

• Bonnie`s journey which led her to experience the importance of learning anatomy and physiology from the inside out rather than outside in 

• Why our body is our best textbook! 

• The practice of continuum, an approach for embodied experience 

• What it means to engage the movement of life

• What the body needs to heal … 

• … and what it means to orientate yourself as a practitioner to the health in the patient 

• The true language of the body - silent felt sensation 

• What you can do to start tapping into and using the potential of your body's true language …

• … which is self-care!

Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast «The breathing body». My name is Flurina and I am your host -  and I am so happy that you are here.

This conversation was very meaningful to me as I have been talking to another wonderful Alexander Technique teacher, Delia Rosenboom. Delia found to the Alexander Technique with 14 years of age, the age with which I had my first Alexander Technique lesson too, in Switzerland. It deeply resonated with me  when Delia shared how the Alexander Technique opened a doorway to «this other experience of life» - a world where sensation and feelings are welcomed and where one is encouraged to follow the path our own curiosity and excitement is carving - and a world where we receive touch which enables us to dive even deeper into sensation and feeling - which then opens doors for change and healing. 

Yes, another conversation about the power of  being, listening and following our intuition - which is our greatest gift and our best teacher. Delia s work was born purely out of her own life journey, and experience and her body, not from books or degrees … and that in itself is so inspirational. 

About Delia:

Delia`s interest in self-transformation began at 14, which was the age she discovered the Alexander Technique and since never looked back! She trained as an Alexander Technique teacher with 17 and graduated from Don Burton’s Fellside Alexander School in 1989. Following personal experiences she became a pioneer for a more sensitive, intuitive and ‘listening’ approach to the Alexander work in relation to clients experiencing shock, trauma or grief.

Delia also trained in the psycho-neuro-immunology-based healing method – ‘The Journey’ and has expanded on this work through trainings in Neuro Linguistic Programming and also with the Positive Intelligence’s Mental Fitness training . In 2017 Delia created The South East Alexander School, a professional Alexander Technique teacher training program, holistically addressing the physical and also the emotional, energetic and psychological aspects of Alexander work as an integrated part of the training.

Delia also offers regular  ‘HeartSong Acappella singing’ workshops, choirs, vocal trainings and breath work, all underpinned by Alexander work and positive psychology and she also works with bioresonance to optimise health and raise energy levels.

In her own words she says «I love to work creatively, with people who are ready and eager to change, grow and further develop! My specialities are in working with individuals post-surgery, with those experiencing life changing events, grief or trauma… and with anyone truly ready to dive deeply into a process of self-discovery!»

In the conversation with Delia we talked about … 

• Delia`s journey to the Alexander Technique and her ongoing inquiry into self-transformation 


• How the most challenging experience in her life - deep bereavement - unfolded into greatest insights still nurturing her work daily


• The importance of taking responsibility for oneself  and giving responsibility back to client we work with:


• The more we learn to listen, the less we need to do and the more change can happen!


• These moments when we don't know which carry all the potency of surrendering to the unknown 


• To thrive we need touch - how Delia uses touch and her hands to facilitate change and healing 


• The wonders of embryology: A field which is not about learning something new but rather allowing the body to do what it always did and is best at: Epansive and well organised growth

Hello and welcome to another episode of the podcast «The breathing body». My name is Flurina and I am your host -  and I am so happy that you are here.

YES we live in a world in which electronic devices rule our days and overstimulation often is our normal state! A high percentage of our society is suffering with various anxiety disorders, including the very young children - it seems that we lost our natural rhythmic connection to nature, inside and outside us, and rather than celebrating our connection to the wholeness we are, we despair in separation. 

And YES, this is a world in which self-empowerment is so important and we need tools and resources which support us to change this state of overstimulation and anxiety. And this is what today's episode is all about:

Ian and I talked about his newest book «Healing anxiety» and how we can actively and consciously use our breath to rewire our brains and heal anxiety - and even more and deeper find back and reorientate to your own health - which means to connect to the natural process of unfolding - a force and gesture which was and is always present in all of us, right form the start of our journey as a conceptus in our mother s womb. 

My colleague and friend Ian graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 1992 and has been practicing as an Osteopath since. He studied and later taught at the Osteopathic Center for Children in London - he has further been involved in teaching Osteopathy in the Cranial field for the Sutherland Cranial College as well as the British School of Osteopathy. Today Ian is based in Ireland where he set up his own clinic and established the Irish Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy whilst he continues to teach internationally. The Irish diploma in paediatric osteopathy involved setting up «The Daisy clinic trust» - a charity with the dual purposes of treating children with special needs and training osteopaths in paediatrics. For more than 10 years Ian has also been teaching a course called «The Dynamics of stillness» which teaches osteopaths and non-osteopaths a sequence of meditations, contemplation practices and exercises designed to deepen sensory awareness. Behind each technique, he describes, is a process of developing a deeper and deeper connection to the stillness in and around us, alongside connection with the deep fluid tides of nature and, importantly to the expression of our underlying potential for deep Health.

In this conversation with Ian we talked about:

• … how we can use our breath to restore our fundmental connection to health … 


• … and experience empowerment about our own health through this healing experience.


• … what the job of an osteopath is which is to support a patient to access their own health potential 


• … what healing means to Ian


• … Ian`s new book «Healing anxiety» and what happens with your brain structurally if you suffer anxiety for a long time … 


• … that anxiety is born from a sense of disconnection and separation from wholeness 


• … and the self-empowering practices Ian is teaching offering an active practices to rewire  the brain and reorientate ourselves to health

I am looking forward reading your thoughts and comments about it on instagram or Facebook or any podcast platform you are listening from at the moment, tell me what did you take from this episode and how did it inspire your path and journey.

Love, Flurina

Yes, MOVEMENT is our BIRTH RIGHT. 

What if your life would be a DANCE? If there was no beginning and no end but your whole being yielding into the expression of your body? 

I am so touched and grateful to share this episode with you. I had such an organic and moving conversation filled with breath and joy with Anja Gysin. We talked about movement, touch and healing on such a deep level, from such an embodied perspective that … it is hard to describe it in words - go ahead, listen, let it fill all your cells, let it move you!

Few words about Anja. Anja was born in Solothurn in Switzerland and is certified as a movement-teacher-and therapist, Open Floor teacher, dancer, choreographer, and Somatic Movement Educator in Body-Mind Centering. She teaches movement and dance as a healing force, for 25 years. Since 2012 she has led her own Dance Company. In her artistic as well as in her teaching approach, the nature of human being within is in the focus. So she gives room for the unfolding of the individual and at the same time space for the opening to the spirit that connects everything. 

In this conversation with Anja, we talked about … 

• Her journey which led her from practicing dance as performance focusing on aesthetics and shapes to what she calls «Medicine dancer» working in the service for healing.


• That movement IS our birth right!


• How we can use our breath to get in touch with our inner and outer nature …


• … and why it is so potent to allow ourselves to be touched - physically and emotionally.


• What for the two of us are "key ingredients" for healing … 


• … and how we can all find our unique resources to nurture the ground for healing.


• How life is an invitation to remember who we truly are - and have always been!

I am looking forward reading your thoughts and comments about it on instagram or Facebook or any podcast platform you are listening from at the moment, tell me what did you take from this episode and how did it inspire your path and journey. I would be delighted to hear from you what is your unique resource you engage with, to rejuvenate, to feel safe, to be with you - let us all inspire each other and share - what support you might support him or her as well.

I am so touched to be sharing this episode with you in which I am talking to Catherine Watson Genna about the miracles of breastfeeding. This is a topic which is so dear to my heart, and hers of course - and we both share great love for the fascination of human physiology and biology. It was a pure joy to record this episode for you. May this episode serve humanity to share the message that breastfeeding is so much more than the pure milk transfer from breast to baby! Yes, not only did Cathy share so many miraculous facts Cathy about breastfeeding but also invited us to explore chest-feeding as a fundamental process in the development of the child.  We explored thoughts of the so called nurture science researched by Nils Bergman who says that breastfeeding is the platform for future emotional and social intelligence of the child - wow!

Above all, I am touched to be reminded myself how breastfeeding is an invitation to listen to the intelligent nature our body is and reveal its wisdom! 

About Cathy: Catherine Watson Genna, is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in private practice in New York City. Catherine is particularly interested in helping moms and babies breastfeed when they have medical challenges. She loves to teach, locally mentoring clinical interns and traveling to educate healthcare professionals around the world on assisting breastfeeding babies with anatomical, genetic or neurological problems. Her presentations and her writing are enriched by her clinical photographs and videos. Catherine collaborates with Columbia University and Tel Aviv University Departments of Biomedical Engineering on research projects investigating the biomechanics of the lactating nipple and various aspects of sucking and swallowing in breastfeeding infants. She is the author of various amazing books and journals, one of which: supporting suckling skills - the one I read and led me to invite her to the podcast. 

In this conversation with Cathy we talked about …

• Cathy`s journey to become a lactation consultant and what her work in private practice is all about


• The amazing reflexes of the newborn to establish breastfeeding 


• Why breastfeeding is so much more than the pure milk transfer from breast to baby …


• …and what it is what makes human milk so miraculous


• Why the process of breastfeeding is an invitation to reconnect to our true nature and trust our instincts 


• How you can prepare yourself and your body for the process of breastfeeding


• What our role as a society is to support breast- and chest-feeding parents 

I hope you ll enjoy our conversation and I am looking forward reading your thoughts and comments about it on instagram (flurina_breathingbody) or Facebook or any podcast platform you are listening from at the moment.

I am so excited to have my dear friend and teacher Helen Noakes on the show today - a woman who is following her golden path, with so much passion, trust and love. I felt newly inspired after this conversation to listen to all the signs and impulses we receive as we flow through life, even if we don't know yet why and where they will lead us to. I also felt newly inspired to connect to my body as the one that (truly) knows, he / she is the bridge to the present moment, yes, my body is my temple and very best teacher. Thank you, Helen. 

Let me introduce Helen to you, Helen describes herself as nomadic yoga teacher inspired by the teachings and students of Vanda Scaravelli, the author of the book «Awakening the spine». Helen also offers training in Chavutti Thirumal (massage by foot pressure), which has a strong influence on her teaching style. She is passionate about spontaneous, intuitive movement in the form of waves and spirals and includes her love of ecstatic dance into her teaching. Helen’s aim is to invite a lightness of being and joy to our movement practice and to encourage others to listen and respond to their intuition with safety and awareness. Her teachings  have  no methods or set sequences, and are mainly improvisational. This approach encourages the practitioner to create a strong relationship to the ground, the breath and to awakening the spine.

In the conversation with Helen we talked about … 

• Helen's journey and background working as a make-up artist for the English opera and how these experiences influenced what she is doing day


• The teachers who where a big inspiration for Helen's path and how she learnt to follow very intuitive impulses which unravelled her deepest calling 


• What it means to trust yourself and why your body is your temple your very best teacher 


• What it means to be present in a very hectic and stressful environment and why this is when we learn to trust ourselves

I hope you feel as energised and inspired as I did after listening to the interview with Helen and that it encouraged you to follow your very own path and to trust yourself and all the messages you receive from your body! 

More information about Helen's work:

Yes, sex is about so much more than having an orgasm - carries the potential for making love as a doorway to higher consciousness. And that's what this episode is all about. 

I feel so grateful to share this episode with you and honoured to have had the so inspiring Diana Richardson as a guest on my podcast. I feel grateful for her immense generosity to share her experiences and the unfolded insights with us - we had such a dynamic, expansive and physical conversation, physical as I could feel how she shared from such an embodied, true and authentic place, wonderful! I felt so inspired, to slow down, sense, listen, and yes allow making love to be a doorway to greater consciousness. 

Diana is considered one of today’s leading authorities on human sexuality. She is known as the pioneer of Slow Sex, and is an internationally acclaimed teacher and author in the field of tantric sex and spirituality.

Diana has written 8 books on how in practical ways a person can experience a more fulfilling sex and love life. Born in South Africa in 1954, she first qualified as a lawyer (B.A.LLB), and then trained as a massage therapist (ITEC) in the UK. Her interest in the body and healing prompted an intense personal exploration into the union of sex and meditation - the essence of Tantra. Since 1993, together with her partner, Michael, she has been sharing her insights and experiences with couples who travel from many different parts of the world to participate in their informative and life changing ‘Making Love’ workshops in Switzerland.

In the conversation with Diana we talked about … 

• What Diana means with slow sex and why consciousness during sex inherently unfolds in slowing-down 


• The potential of sex to be a nurturing and expansive experience and to create a deep connection with oneself and ones` partner 


• Why sex is about much more than experiencing an orgasm: It is about how we do it; from a place of conscious awareness, in connection with our own body … 


• … how we can learn and start to transform our sexual practice into a journey that's not about «the peak» - but an invitation to dive deeper into the feeling that you have with and for each other


• The importance of curiosity, lightness and playfulness in this process!


• How making love invites us to cultivate body perception … 


• … and therefore experiencing making-love as a place where healing can happen 

I hope you feel as energised and inspired as I did after listening to this conversation with Diana. There are many possibilities to learn more from Diana:

Diana is the author of several books:

• Tantric Orgasm for women


• Tantric Orgasm for men


• Slow sex


• Tantric Sex and Menopause 


• The Heart of Tantric Sex 


• Tantric love: Feeling versus emotion 


• Tantric love letters


• Cool Sex

I feel so grateful and blessed for all the wonderful Osteopaths and Osteopathy teachers I have met on my journey so far and who shared their experience and wisdom with me. One of them is Mary Bolingbroke! Mary keeps inspiring me on such a profound and I am honoured to have her as my guest on the podcast! Welcome, Mary.

In this episode she shares with us important parts of her journey and her understanding of health and the role of us Osteopaths … and yes,  if you keep listening, I am sure you will feel and hear what I mean and why it is actually so hard to describe this wonderful teacher in words. 

About Mary: Mary Qualified from the British School of Osteopathy in 1992 and then worked and trained with Stuart Korth at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in London until 1997. She co-founded the Irish Diploma in Paediatrics with Ian Wright in 2009 and she is on the Biodynamics of Osteopathy faculty, and regularly teaches on Biobasics (James Jealous) courses in the UK. Mary has a great interest in teaching as well as treating people of all ages and animals including horses, dogs and the occasional parrot.

In this conversation with Mary we talked about …

• Marys` long and convoluted path and what brought Mary to study Osteopathy


• Why our body always tries to seek health!


• A simple (and so profound!) practice you can do to learn to get in touch with the stillness (and wisdom) within your body - the place from where so much wisdom is ready to be revealed! 


• Marys` understanding  of how our body stores both physical and emotional events within its tissues and how this build up can lead to the experience of pain or mental exhaustion …


• … and how Mary uses touch and the potency of listening to guide the body back to health

• Mary teaches with the daisy clinic trust in Ireland (www.clonmelosteopaths.ie) and CTET in London (www.cranio.co.uk)
