Podcast interview on being human
Late last year I was interviewed for the Self Talk Podcast and it has finally gone live! First, I want to say that I love her podcast and am a listener as well, so I highly recommend you check it out. The host, Rachel Astarte, is a psychotherapist bringing depth and insight into her episodes.
In our 30-minutes together we discuss what it means to be fully human. We also talk about an array of things related to the mind/body connection and the importance (along with tools) to recognize, process, accept, and neutralize negative self-talk and difficult emotions.
Speaking of mind/body connections…
One of the most powerful tools I know for healing is in the breath. On April 11th you can drop into RITUAL for $44, experience 2-hours of deep healing through theme (related to the libra full moon, its current energies, and how this may impact you), inquiry journaling, bodywork (bring 2 tennis balls!), and deep release breathwork healing.
(RITUAL DROP-in) Full Moon Somatic Breathwork Healing Experience
Monday, April 11th (5:30PM PST)
Somatic Breathwork is an active meditation technique, done lying on the back, that supports clearing the body and nervous system of emotional debris. The process mindfully moves stagnant energy (Qi/Prana), facilitating release of strong emotions that are stuck in the body, affecting the mind and limiting our lives. In this more sovereign state, triggers and stuck emotions soften as we gain space, helping us to become less reactive and more responsive in our lives. In this place, it becomes easier to experience creative insights, intuitive discernment, breakthroughs, transformation, and profound healing.
“Amber and the work she offers are a true gift. Her somatic breathwork sessions are transformative every single time, touching into all layers physical, emotional, and spiritual. In her sessions, I am often healing on levels I’m not consciously aware of; but when I return to life afterward I feel reset, recalibrated, and often lighter, as though deep traumas have been released from my body.
Since beginning regular breathwork with her, I have noticed a huge decrease in my nervous system’s agitation, and a wonderful increase in my ability to stay calm and present during challenges. Not only that, but I leave with all kinds of insights about those challenges and what I can explore for self-growth.
This work is probably unlike any other you’ve ever received, and it is profound in a way that can’t be described. If you’re feeling a tug in this direction, there’s a reason, and I highly encourage you to follow that intuition and experience it for yourself.” — MEA | MASSAGE THERAPIST
"Ritual is as magical as the moon itself! I look forward to gathering twice a month for such a beautiful celebration of life and love, Mother Nature’s ebb and flow, Universal grounding. I especially enjoy the deep breath-work for the full moon, as it always moves my soul in ways I never expect! Amber is such a wonderful facilitator, really sharing her authentic self and love for others. Her guidance is truly meditative. I always end Ritual feeling calmer and full of light." - Lex
"Thank you for holding space! I hope that you'll be offering Ritual next year as well, or something similar! Between attending D.R.M classes semi-regularly, the mindful teachings in Ritual, and your newsletters, I've noticed a huge shift in my mental space over the past year when I needed it the most, and I am so incredibly grateful!!" - Shelby
"I love being a part of Ritual! I’d been wanting to live more aligned with the moon cycle for a while and this has been the perfect way to do just that. It’s something I genuinely look forward to on my calendar. Amber is so supportive, and I walk away from each session with amazing insights. There’s something so intrinsically special about reconnecting with the moon cycle among a group of such amazing humans!" - Candi
