Messy, Luminous, Being Podcast

Let's sit down and talk about exercise, health routines and the realities of life. There are lots of things I want to do for myself — whether that's related to food, exercise, cold-water immersion, meditation etc. But it's rare that things go according to plan and we all struggle to keep up a good routine. After years of trying to practice different things myself in the limited time left after kids and messy real life have their way, and working with others dealing with similiar scenerios in their homes, I'm really changed my perspective on all of these self-care practices that are genuinely so important but don't have to LOOK the way we think. Listen in and let me know what you think.  Want to get more Messy Luminous insights and inspiration each week? Come join the newsletter here https://mailchi.mp/sarahbhunt/messyluminousbeing    

Emotional pain comes from an internal split between what our encultured mind believes and what feels deeply true in our hearts. When this emotional pain becomes stored in the body, it can be one of the most toxic disrupters of our health. So how does this happen? How do non-physical emotions get stored in the physical body, and how can we rethink the relationship between our psychological state and our physical health, as researchers are doing in the field of psycho-immunology? In this episode we talk about what inner integrity might mean, how the mind can sometimes perceive stress is 'normal' even though the body knows the truth, and what tools we can use to reclaim aspects of our own truth and inner integrity that we've abandoned along the way of messy real life.   Messy Luminous Being reflections and opportunities delivered to your inbox every week.

Can our emotions be toxic? When it comes to stress and all those related feelings, the answer might be yes, especially if these experiences extend for days, weeks or even longer. In this episode, part of our Vital Health series, I share some new research on stress, how it is processed and stored in the body, and how we can use the natural capacity of our minds and our physiology to shift out of this negative spiral, shorten the 'refractory period' of stress and restore ourselves to health.

Movement is one of the most effective ways to improve our physical, emotional and mental health. But which types of movement matter most? And how can we change the way we think about fitting them into our busy lives? In this episode, we cover resistance training, cardio and functional movement practices like yoga and pilates to discuss how these movement practices have different benefits, how we can move the way we were designed by nature, and how to rethink a new way to  'make time' to practice.

You are powered by sunlight. The amount of energy you feel in your body — to wake up refreshed, to exercise, to work and create and enjoy life — is directly tied to how your metabolism releases that light energy in your cells. This is where you really are a luminous being! In this episode, I share the first session from Vital Health week earlier this spring. We dive deep into the body to understand where energy really comes from, common misperceptions and how we can support the source of energy creation in the body so we start to FEEL as luminous as we are.

Creativity is an experience that's often pushed to the edges of our lives— something we’re allowed to indulge in when all the important jobs are done. This is conversation about another role creativity could play in our lives...an antidote to anxiety. It’s about the way our brains work, the difference between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and states of mind that block our dreams versus the states of mind that bring our dreams alive. What a perfect time of year to reflect on how much anxiety is really running our daily lives and how creativity could be used as a medicine that already exists within us.    Coming up...

It's the rare bubble of time...the quiet of the morning, before the day really gets started. We can do things for ourselves during this time that are unlikely to happen at any other time of day. But whether we're wishing for a meditation session, time with our thoughts and a journal, a regular exercise routine or something else that fills our cup and starts the day off right...it can feel like the hardest thing to weave into our busy lives. A good morning routine. In this epsiode I share some ideas for the way I have evolved my own morning routine which never looks the same from day to day. I also share my favourite tips from writers like James Clear's Atomic Habits that take a totally new approach to starting (or restarting) those practices we really wish were part of our daily lives.

Can we consciously direct the body towards a stronger immune system and deeper level of health? If stress can make us sick, can we harness this power of the deeper areas of the mind to make us well? This radical perspective on health brings us into contact with the wisdom principle in the body, a deep intelligence and organising energy that lies beyond the thinking mind. This episode is a conversation about the three areas of deep health and how the wisdom principle in the body works (including the powerful teaching from the placebo effect studies and new understandings of our immune system). Understanding how to access deeper parts of the brain through breathing and meditation techniques, we can reframe not only our perspective on health but radically re-imagine our own power at directing these wisdom processes in the body. 💫   Want to learn and practice these breathing and meditation techniques? I'd love to practice with you.

This episode comes as a spell to help us recast our ideas and assumptions about how to practice. Life is busy, time is a very limited resource...and yet what I continue to hear is that we woman need to be satisfied with finding scraps in the day to remember our Selves. That this is all we can really expect in these hectic times, and that sometimes taking three mindful breaths is enough. There is another more powerful way to both think about and approach sacred practice, ways to reignite our Intuition and deep Self that don't require Time in the way we're used to thinking. So come with me on a walk with bats, pheasants, autumnal trees and the wind, as we reframe what's possible for us as both everyday and sacred beings when it comes to finding moments of Presence and Inner Power in modern busy life.
