Hey! Kevin here and I have the privilege of sharing a solo episode with you today.

It can feel like there's no way out because the "withdrawal" seems so real, but that's where energy calibration comes in! Listen along as I share with you: What emotional addiction is and what's happening in our body The #1 key to calibrating your energy to overcome emotional addiction The power of refreshing + renewing your mind Simple practices to re-pattern your emotions to experience higher vibrations!

We have been diving more and more into the holistic approaches that are commonly used, highly powerful and also rather unknown. There is so much to dive into when it comes to this topic and what avenues there are to explore. In today’s episode we have a special guest, Gloria Hester, with us to talk about her work as a somatic educator and yoga therapist for both humans and animals. Gloria has such a beautiful way of unpacking so much knowledge when it comes to the somatic field and such a warm spirit. She breaks down so much wonderful information and she walks us through some simple somatic exercises to give you a place to start practicing now in your life. Listen along so you can learn: What is somatic work Why soma is so powerful What affects our soma and nervous system How to start your soma journey How our patterns and habituations get stored in the brain The different styles of somatic work Why holistic practices aren’t always accepted In the somatic field you're working with the sensory system as well as the motor system. This requires a lot of re-educating the sensory system and the nervous system. Somatic education gives your brain and body the ability to communicate freely.

We have talked about awareness and just how important it is to gain awareness in order to truly create real change in our lives. Today we want to discuss the four levels of awareness. This is really a great roadmap to discover where you're at in terms of awareness, being fully aware, being conscious, and being ready to change your life. You can transcend a certain level of awareness in a part of your life but in another part, you can be stuck in that place. Knowing the levels of awareness can help you map yourself out in this by checking in with yourself regularly. Listen along so you can learn: What the four levels of awareness are How you move through these states Why it’s so important to move through these states We are always one thought away from any of these phases. Moving through these phases helps us to reframe what’s happening around us and turn it into a positive thing. Awareness helps us connect back to the ultimate truth, which is that everything is one.

There are two sides of our nature, the human side and the spiritual side. They are really essential to life. These are the two poles and in between these two poles, everything that we call life is happening. All of our thoughts, all the things we do, all of our challenges are because of the interaction between the human and the spirit. In today’s episode we dive really deep into both of these sides. We know we come back to this a lot but we truly are spiritual beings having a human experience. The spirit is what is animating our human body. Listen along to this episode so you can learn: The difference between our human side and our spirit What is human nature What is spiritual nature Why it can be difficult to define spiritual nature Why it’s important to accept both of these sides We found today’s episode not only deep but especially powerful for ourselves as we deliver this to you. The more you think about your spiritual nature and make a conscious effort to build a relationship with it, you will start to see it work in your own life. If you are looking for some extra guidance in your life then we believe you will enjoy the challenge that Kevin will be hosting at the end of this month.

Today’s is our 99th episode and we are celebrating! We are also doing something different today because it feels important to share where we are as well as honor this two year journey we have been on. Recently, we have been facing a challenging time in our lives and this episode is about being authentic with where we have been. Yes, we do live this work but there are times when things are a challenge. It is not about just knowing it, it’s about applying it everyday in our lives. We can have the tools but they don’t do anything unless we pick them up and use them. Here are some things to remember if you are ever feeling lost in life: Honor yourself for where you are Give yourself space & don’t force anything Know yourself & what kind of support you need during those moments Everyone’s journey is different and what everyone needs is different as well. Part of human conditioning is getting over suffering. Often, when we go through a challenging time in our lives, we appreciate things more once we get through it. You can be so used to being at a certain level in life that any setback can feel big, but it isn’t as big as we may think. Especially when we look back at how far we have come. We have enjoyed bringing this episode to you and we thank you for your continued support! We would love to hear your feedback so please feel free to reach out to us @scienceandspiritualitypodcast.

Listen along so you can learn: What a gratitude practice can do for your physical body How gratitude helps your brain Why gratitude helps your mental well being The long lasting effects of gratitude In simplest terms, gratitude is just reorganizing your thoughts from negative to positive.
