Are you ready to start living a full life, where anything you want to be is possible? If you are tired of feeling broken and fragile, fearful of the world around you, then this month's show is for you. You will be taught the 4 elements which together combine to create a life that is connected, that reconnects you to you: to your dreams and to those who you want close to you. Emily will also share her story in how she came across this formula to living reconnected.

Today, I’ll share with you the seven key was movement-based practices change the brain and help us develop both interoception (our ability to “feel inside” ourselves) and proprioception (our ability to sense body position, movement, and balance).I’ll also give you some simple ways to get started incorporating movement into your breathing/grounding practices.#beyondsurviving #sexualabusesurvivor #nervoussystemregulation #bodyawareness #grounding #relaxation #selfresourcing #interoception #movement #propioception #incestsurvivor #healingsexualtrauma #foryou #viral #coachrachelsays #coaching #toolsthatwork #healing #ptsd #stressmanagement #anxiety #integration #feelings #mindbodyspirit #feelings #sensations #selfawarenessSystems Check: Mind, Body & Feelings
15:59|All systems go! How are you doing when it comes to being aware on these three levels: body, feelings, and thoughts?It’s alright if you’re a work in progress when it comes to this. It’s very common for survivors of abuse to not be integrated and to only notice body sensations, feelings, and thoughts once they become overwhelming.In today’s practice, we get to explore how to increase our awareness, reduce stress and anxiety, and understand out these different “systems” impact and influence each other.#beyondsurviving #sexualabusesurvivor #nervoussystemregulation #bodyawareness #grounding #relaxation #selfresourcing #headtotoe #incestsurvivor #healingsexualtrauma #foryou #viral #coachrachelsays #coaching #toolsthatwork #healing #ptsd #stressmanagement #anxiety #integration #feelings #mindbodyspirit #feelings #sensations #selfawarenesDeep Relaxation - Autogenic Training

16:21|"Muscle tension is commonly associated with stress, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms as part of a process that helps the body prepare for potentially dangerous situations."This is why many survivors of trauma find that they are in constant states of tension and sometimes even feel like that don't even know what this whole "relaxed" state of being is. It feels like unfamiliar territory.This progressive muscle relaxation practice is all about helping you to become more aware of where your body holds tension, particularly subtle muscle tension, and how to move into a state of release and relaxation.#beyondsurviving #sexualabusesurvivor #nervoussystemregulation #bodyawareness #grounding #progressivemusclerelaxation #relaxation #bodyconsciousness #selfresourcing #incestsurvivor #healingsexualtrauma #foryou #viral #coachrachelsays #coaching #toolsthatwork #healingScanning for Strength Exercise
16:48|This body based practice is all about scanning the body and noticing the sensations you experience head to toe and importantly tuning in to the areas of your body that hold a feeling of strength.Being aware of this and knowing where strength sits in your body is extremely helpful as it becomes a way to ground and support yourself when you're feeling anxious or activated.Try it out!#beyondsurviving #sexualabusesurvivor #nervoussystemregulation #bodyawareness #grounding #anxiety #interoception #bodyconsciousness #selfresourcing #incestsurvivor #healingsexualtrauma #foryou #viral #coachrachelsays #coaching #toolsthatwork #healingFind Your Center
08:48|Do you find yourself feeling wobbly all the time? Bumping into things? Dropping things? Feeling just generally off balance?If so, then these proprioceptive exercises are just the thing you need to help you improve your sense of balance and become aware of your body’s position relative to the environment.In fact, when “grounded” feels like a wiggly concept, focusing instead on feeling “centered” will greatly support you in feeling stable and balanced. And this applies not just to your physical self, but also your emotional and mental self!#beyondsurviving #sexualabusesurvivor #nervoussystemregulation #proprioception #centered #balanced #stable #incestsurvivor #healingsexualtrauma #foryou #viral #coachrachelsays #coaching #toolsthatwork #healing
