Grief is often hidden behind closed doors, tears are suppressed and we are left alone in our pain and sorrow. But our ancestors left us stories that carry medicine to hold us, to nurture us and to brings us back into life after heartbreak and loss. I am sharing one of these stories here, an old Irish tale called Mis and Dubh Ruis. It's a story of grief & romance and it's the story of a poet and harpist. In that spirit I will also play the harp for you afterwards, taking you on a journey of connecting to your body, hearing the medicine of the past and feeling the music to soothe you. As we move into autumn, nature's cycles can confront us with loss and can reawaken grief in us. I hope this episode is helping you to connect deeper to your own emotions and ancient healing wisdom.

Our bodies are constantly communicating to us, through sensations, emotions and subtle signals. But do we take the time to listen?

The things we don't say simply don't disappear. They become tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, a knot in the stomach and sleepless nights. In this episode we explore what happens when we hold back what we think, feel and really want to say. Where this shows up in the body and how we can begin to work with these tensions. Speaking your truth isn't as simple as "just saying it". Before we can say it the body often needs to feel safe enough to do so.

In this episode, I take a closer look at some popular spiritual practices such as living from the heart, icebaths, kundalini yoga/awakening practices, healing retreats, biohacking, and ascension and investigate if they nourish women or deplete us. From a standpoint of nervous system regulation, energy cultivation and blood nourishment, many practices that are praised as healing can leave women (and men) exhausted, ungrounded and burned out. I'm also covering what are the spiritual practices that nourish feminine energy, yin, and restoration. I'm curious about your thoughts on this topic. What is your personal experience with these practices? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
