How do we drop the people pleasing tendencies & assumed identities we’ve taken on… so we contact our wild self?
This is big, profound work. Yet you don’t need 10 years of therapy or burning down your entire life/marriage/career to do it.
Christina Ryan-Stoltz joins us on the podcast today for an exploration of her experience of Embodied Movement Practice & how it’s supported her to contact the self she always knew was there… but wasn’t sure how to access.
In this personal retelling Christina shares with us:
- Why shaking, releasing energy through movement & vocalizing can feel “weird” and how we can overcome of hesitations to do it
- The primal, wild woman within that surfaced through embodied movement
- Not taking up much space in marriage – to finding more equal partnership
- Body image issues & how these held Christina back from inhabiting her body
Christina & I work together in our Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification. Here, we use Embodied Movement Practices, such as Primal Feminine Flow, to cultivate a deeper embodied personal mastery as practitioners.
Christina is also a profound somatic practitioner & you can find her work at sheskool.com.
What is a Feminine Embodiment Practice?
A Feminine Embodiment Practice, such a Primal Feminine Flow, is a devotional practice designed to drop you out of your head & into the currents of aliveness present in the body.
By turning up your inner sensitivity & allowing it flow through subtle, organic movements, this form of moving meditation helps women process emotions in real time, connect more deeply with deep self, and surface their radiant aliveness.
