The Embody Podcast Self-love & Healing

It’s uncomfortable when someone discards or disavows a hurt part of themselves, their shadow, and it comes lashing towards you. Or, when you’re triggered and you need some distance and boundary to feel emotionally safe. This experiential is to support sensing the context of the other person, creating harmony with distance, and restoring energetic and physical boundaries.This episode is a follow up to the main episode number 131 which can be found at CandiceWu.com/ep131. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

Inner freedom supports freedom for ALL.In this episode: a Conversation about the Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper video, the way my body expressed reactions and perceptions towards Black people, and an experiential here for you to open your own body-based exploration around people who are different from you.It is your body that holds reactions and unconscious sentiments towards others that contribute to racism.No matter who you are, black, brown, white, yellow, and every person in between — going deeper means looking at your body’s reactions. Along with any actions that your heart feels called to, if you want freedom for those you love and care about — for Black people, for all people — hold space for what is held in your own body and digest it.If you don’t involve your own body in healing racism or in anti-racism, or in supporting BLM or another race movement, it has a risk to be only be performative, not go deep enough, or to perpetuate the underlying dynamics.This experiential is an invitation to use system

I stand with Black people and see you. I stand with all the people who desire that Black people have the right to live and breathe.Witnessing the protests from Mexico that are happening as a result of systemic violence on Black folks (re-ignited by George Floyd and many that have died at the hands of the police) has inspired me to talk vulnerably and candidly about some experiences where I noticed my own racism coming to the surface — fears that have been held through my ancestry.I speak to how I can have the best of intentions, and still find something that its racist — and what I did about it.Racism is held in the body.No matter how well intentioned it is to say, “I believe in equality,” — there are likely some unconscious ways that your body experiences something else, likely rooting in trauma — a wound of your own, your ancestry’s, your culture’s, or your past lives/dimensional experiences’.This is also an invitation, whoever you are and for all that are interested, to have some gentleness in being with w

When the structures of your previous ways of being dismantle and crumble — what do you calibrate to?Pleasure! What is for you is coded into your vibrational blueprint through pleasure.In this episode, use pleasure as your compass and embody complete action: prajña (PRAH-gee-ah).Heal the cycles of constant doing in order “to have and be happy” — come into being and vibrational clarity — creating from a place that is complete unto itself and likely brings gifts beyond fathomable because they are so in line with who you are, and given in your place here. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

Have you felt like you don’t belong here?Some intense feelings of grief and existential aloneness led me to finding more of myself: my multidimensional being and a family in the star system. I have mentioned it before, but this time, it demanded a greater attention and acceptance. This time, I felt a huge loss of having left my spiritual family somewhere out there.If this story interests you or you’re finding yourself on this journey, tune in to this unraveling of an extension of my being, another place I found belonging, resource, and freedom, how my judgments had blocked my intuition, knowing, and peace in my body.A continuation of the Deep Mystery of Life: Embracing What Logic Cannot Explain Part 1 and Part 2. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

This episode is a rerun of a previous episode on The Embody Podcast while I am on a short restorative hiatus.This episode is about how to sort out your inner chatter and reactive patterns with Parts Work. If you’ve seen the movie Inside Out, you’ve gotten a simplified taste of how your inner world may look. With many parts of us talking and acting at different times, it’s helpful to know their motives, fears, desires, agendas, purpose, and function in your inner dynamic.Explore and embrace the parts of yourself so you can feel clarity and deeper awareness, heal the wounded or diminished parts, know what part of yourself is acting in various situations, and lead from your Self - from aligned intention. The idea that we have everything within us to heal can be easily accessed with Voice Dialogue as we open up inner gifts, wisdom, and strengths while healing wounds within.Enjoy guided healing experiences that will walk you through dialoguing with and embodying the parts of yourself. Links, Article, and Resources

Do you wish to reside in deep harmony and ease with yourself — The place of fertile ground for creative action, contentment, and self-love?Where do you exploit or override your body’s or inner messages — what is the price you pay?Do you push and pressure yourself to exhaustion or drain?In this guided experience, we will restore gentleness and respect to the body and align to pleasure as an inner compass. We work with self-forgiveness for judgments on yourself — ways you’ve exploited yourself, ways you put too much pressure, feeling not enough, and overriding your body’s needs and desires. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

Navigate your cravings and addictions to loosen up their intensity and bring healing in this somatic experiential. In this time of Covid19, there are many things we cannot have or do. We may be stripped to see ourselves bare in some ways.With cravings and addictions, we have a keyhole into knowing what it is that lives under the surface that drives these actions and ways of coping. It is also the opening for more empowerment and self-love.Food addictions and cravings, substances, activities, connections, and relationships — depending on how and from which place of ourselves we reach for these may be a dependency or a way to protect ourselves from discomfort.Note: There’s nothing wrong with how you have adapted as your addictions may have their own wisdom, though you may want to find greater freedom and depth of self-knowing. Links, Article, and ResourcesAll Show Notes for This Episode

In this guided experiential, develop your relationship to your inner knowing and intuition — strengthen the muscles of your heart, inner attunement, and body wisdom. I lead you through a Blind Constellation of tuning into three pieces of your life so that you can clarify and fortify your relationship with your many inner messaging systems.It’s so essential to follow what is true to you — and it feels increasingly important in times of uncertainty and unknown. It is vital to loving yourself to do what’s for you to do, and not what you feel you “should” or was part of a past plan. Alignment in the present requires trust in your body’s response system as well as understand where your capacity is in terms of what parts of this response system is disconnected or has static (trauma, unconscious or unintegrated aspects of yourself). Also, a brief exploration about fears and resistances to inner trust.**Sponsored by: Special Offer: Ayurveda Living in QuarantineI have a special invitation and discount for you if you’r
