Messy, Luminous, Being Podcast

Meditation tradition has a different perspective and approach to Emotional Intelligence than modern psychology. In this episode, I talk about three aspects of Emotional Intelligence — the underlying nature of our feelings, the importance of the 'refractory period', and the science behind our 'emotional home'.

Creating space when things feel crowded and overwhelming...this is what yoga can do for us. In this episode I talk with yoga teacher Becca Ryder about peeling back the layers of the self, ways yoga helps with anxiety and how to practice Mandala yoga. You can find Becca on IG @yogawithbecca and at https://yogawithbecca.uk

There is a moment when our willpower fails us, when our efforts to push ourselves stops working, when we run out of steam. And when we're trying to make a positive change in our lives or start a new self-care practice, this can be so disappointing! In this episode, I wanted to talk about motivation. What works, what doesn't, and the new way I'm motivating myself to bring in new practices this year. Motivation that comes from an uplifting and ever-renewing energy source, so we create change that lasts.

So we can step out into the world Whole. That is the purpose behind all of our practices. In this episode, I talk to Katonah yoga teacher Mary Dana about the way Katonah yoga maps the inner terrain as a 'magic square', and ways we look inward to experience the wholeness of ourselves. We also discuss the patterns of nature as they exist on the macro and micro levels within us, and how small practices can be big in the wider picture of our lives.

What would it be like to feel inspired by yourself. To feel that energy of Empowerment and Growth and truly connect with your own Potential.

Yoga is not about controlling the body. It's about finding freedom. In this episode I talk with the wonderful Suzanne Goddard of SheGlowYoga about mindset, mindfulness and yoga through all the stages of womanhood. Suzanne reminds us that there is incredible power that comes with the changes women experience throughout life. We also get real about the messiness of motherhood & menopause. This is yoga at it's best! Connect with Suzanne on IG @sheglowyoga For a feminine approach to Core Strength, there's the Messy Luminous mini course Awaken Your Core (and it's FREE!)

Taking care of ourselves shouldn't feel like one more thing on our To Do list. But it can feel like that sometimes.
