We Are the Instrument: Body as the vessel with Autumn Saunders | Vinyasa in Verse Podcast Episode 51

In this episode, I talk with Autumn Saunders, a very special guest who is a soul dancer, a soul doula facilitator, a NIA movement artist, a poet, a singer-songwriter, and a budding herbalist. // Here she shared about how she uses movement in the work of connecting the mind, body, and spirit for healing and encouraged us to find our internal rhythm - Rise, Rest, Rejuvenate. // Find what’s fun for you, finding a way to play. Once you have the fun, it makes you want to do it again. // We need to give ourselves permission to heal. To be on that path gives us the opportunity to live our best life. // Believe that we deserve to heal. Make this a conscious choice and commitment to oneself. // The pathway to connect in believing that we deserve to heal is to go back and recognize your ancestors.// Joy is a life force energy - energy that gives us our liveliness. // Healing is not an achievement, it's a process, an integral part of living. // Voices are powerful. It is powerfully healing to hear your own sound. // You can find Autumn and all the good work she does at her website: https://www.soulflowerrising.com and on IG: @soulflowerrising // FREE WORKSHOP!
