The Embody Podcast Self-love & Healing

Ritual at its best brings us towards a feeling of acknowledgment, embodiment, and honoring of our true selves. It bonds us to our values and our deepest self or brings us to shared humanity, purpose, or meaning. In this episode, I explore how rituals can serve embodiment or disembodiment, examining what rituals we already have in place, the rituals I enjoy and designing your own rituals.This intro episode is followed by three basic rituals that you can try out and integrate as your own or inspire your own ideas. The experientials are called Space for Self Ritual, Energy and Embodiment Ritual, and a Body Love Ritual. Please enjoy and give yourself space.Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode
