We have a tendency to value the mind above all else:

When we’re faced with a difficult question, we turn to the mind.
When we’re trying to make a big decision, we turn to the mind.
When we want to manifest something into our lives, we turn to the mind.

We turn to the mind for all the answers we seek.

While the mind is an incredible member of our internal “team,” leaning solely on our cognitive understanding causes us to miss out on the fullness of this human experience. Beyond cognitive understanding, we all have access to a deep well of wisdom within us.

Our inner wisdom is alive and flowing – and just waiting for us to reconnect to it so that we can realize our fullest potential and cultivate the creative, fulfilling, expansive lives we know we’re meant for.

Those of us on the path of healing, awakening, and expansion are very familiar with our internal worlds – our feelings, thoughts, patterns, etc. – but so many of us are missing a deep connection to the body, to our embodied wisdom. 

We know that the “body keeps the score” – but do we know how to read that score? Do we know how to access our body’s wellspring of wisdom and insight? Do we know what it feels like to be embodied – to feel the richness, the aliveness of our embodiment?

In this episode, Ariel focuses on two lines of inquiry: 1. Why does embodiment matter – and what we gain when we reclaim our embodiment? And 2. How do we reclaim our embodiment and awaken our intuitive bodies?

Embodiment questions for reflection:

• What is my current connection to my body like?
• What happens when I encounter uncomfortable, unpleasant emotions and sensations?
• What happens when I encounter pleasurable emotions or sensations?
• How do I relate to these feelings and sensations? (Do I try to distract myself? Do I suppress? Do I get stuck feeling them over and over and over again? The first step here is really just noticing what your relationship is like with your emotions and sensations, noticing what patterns you have in place.)
• Do I trust my embodied wisdom, my intuition? Why or why not?
• How important is it for me to reclaim my embodiment?

We define energetic agreements as the subconscious, mutual patterns of engagement. In other words, we all have co-created, reciprocated patterns we enact and perpetuate with other humans (and ourselves)—patterns we initially put in place to keep us “safe”, but likely aren’t serving us anymore.

You know that feeling when you and your partner or a friend get into a funk or start to energetically feel “off” all of a sudden and for seemingly no reason? That's what we are talking about—how you are relating to each other in that moment, and specifically how you got there. These patterns often create themselves through assumptions and taking things personally. We assume someone's behavior means X, so we respond with Y, and then the other person makes an assumption about Y, and that's how we get ourselves into a mess.

In this episode, we explore how we can begin to recognize these patterns, how to create new ones, and the integral role our nervous systems play in this process.
