73. How Ancient Wisdom and Modern Rituals Help Heal Emotional Trauma with Shayoon Alexander

What if the key to healing emotional trauma, reducing inflammation, and reconnecting with yourself isn’t another quick fix, but ancient wisdom and simple daily rituals?

In this heart-opening episode, I sit down with healer, musician, and soulful guide Shayoon Alexander to explore the intersection of emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and embodied living. Together, we unpack how trauma gets stored in the body, how discipline can be a gentle act of self-respect, and why regulation, not restriction, is the new foundation for lasting wellness.

Shayoon shares powerful tools from both ancient lineages and modern neuroscience to help you release emotional wounds, return to your body, and live a life anchored in love, purpose, and peace.

Whether you're navigating stress, chronic symptoms, or just feeling disconnected from your inner self, this episode is for you.

Shayoon Alexander is a musician, a trauma-informed healer and co-founder of the LightForce Center, where she combines neuroscience, somatic therapy, and quantum healing to help people release emotional trauma and regulate their nervous system.
