Tender Revolution

In this gentle and powerful experience, Catherine guides you into intimacy with yourself in relation to racism. So often as people in white bodies, we are blocked by paralysis and defensiveness when it comes to showing up as antiracist in the world. One way to begin unfreezing ourselves is to connect sincerely to the vulnerability behind these reactions. Offered with gratitude to the Somatic Abolitionism work of Resmaa Menakem for inspiring much of what is shared here.(Note: This shadow work experience is intended for people with white bodies, though all are welcome to listen and practice.) Visit catherineliggett.com to download free meditations, learn more about Catherine's work, and see current course offerings.

“The more I heal myself, the less empathic I become” said a close friend of mine, who is a professional intuitive. Being an empath is both a gift- and a disability. We’re so attuned to others, and so conditioned to act based on what we perceive others needing from us, that we often abandon our own deepest needs and feelings. In other words, we are not truly safe with ourselves. We are not the protectors we long for. This episode is about becoming that for ourselves. In the exploration, you'll encounter the aspect of you that feels helpless to stand up for yourself, and bring powerful healing and integration to help you become bolder. Visit catherineliggett.com to download free meditations, learn more about Catherine's work, and see current course offerings.

Ancestral trauma impacts our personal lives in ways that we rarely think about. In our highly individualistic culture, we tend to think of our problems as belonging to us alone. However, when a destructive pattern just doesn't seem to heal, there's a good chance it has roots in a family shadow. When we realize that it didn't start with us, healing can be complete at last. In this episode, Catherine shares a beautiful example of ancestral healing from a client session, and guides you in uncovering the unseen pain in your lineage that may have shaped your present-day struggle.Visit catherineliggett.com to download free meditations, learn more about Catherine's work, and see current course offerings.

Trust is a certainty that someone will consistently act in our best interests. For many of us, real trust is rare, because we experienced long ago that intimate others in our lives did not do this. We project this learned blueprint onto our lives in the present, and the result is a wary heart. In this episode, we dig deep to reveal and heal the roots of mistrust in our own psyche. Through somatic exploration, Catherine guides you in uncovering the truth of how easily you trust those in your life, and facilitates a gentle integration of the mistrusting aspect of you. Visit catherineliggett.com to download free meditations, learn more about Catherine's work, and see current course offerings.

Sometimes we hit a wall when "feel it to heal it" is the approach of choice on our journey of personal growth. When we encounter the same cycles of emotional intensity again and again, it's likely that these emotions themselves are the patterns from our childhood that keep us stuck. This episode describes how to identify when this has happened, and how we can awaken the energy of a kind yet firm parent within who takes our hand and leads us away from the harmful emotional cycle towards our expansion.Visit catherineliggett.com to download free meditations, learn more about Catherine's work, and see current course offerings.

As Carl Jung taught us, what we resist, persists, and what we allow transforms. The things within us that we deny will continue to control our lives from the unconscious. It is only in releasing resistance that we free emotional energy to change. In this episode, Catherine guides you in a simple and powerful technique- the magic yes- that has personally helped her hold and shift the most difficult of emotions.Visit catherineliggett.com to download free meditations, learn more about Catherine's work, and see current course offerings.

"This is a journey of great potency. It’s an invitation to call all of your power home to you now. To amplify your energy, and take up all the space that you are meant to occupy. All your power from lifetimes past. All your power that has been fragmented from trauma. All your power that others unconsciously took from you. It’s time."  In this episode, Catherine shares the reasons why so many of us sensitives have difficulty taking up space and owning all that we are, and guides you in a journey of reclaiming and expanding your power through a memory in which you felt contracted and in hiding. Visit catherineliggett.com to download free meditations, learn more about Catherine's work, and see current course offerings.
