How Being Present with Your Body Leads to Self-Growth

The modern woman is all about movement. Rushing here and there to take care of business duties and home life. Going off to the gym to exercise or run around trails or through trails to burn off steam after a heavy week of work.

     This movement may take care of our physical needs, but does it help us in other areas of our life, such as satisfying our emotional and spiritual needs? Sadly, this might not be the case, but by focusing on other areas of movement we can achieve much needed peace in our lives. On this episode of Dream Power Radio, we discuss this with Career and Life Coach and Movement Expert Christine Gautreaux. Through her work with Interplay she helps women really connect with their bodies, by using play and other techniques that help them find their true voices. Christine tells us how we can work to achieve our own inner wellness and explains:

·      The connection between play and self-growth

·      What connection has to do with inner peace

·      What happened when she realized she was “3 steps behind her body”

·      How to return to the magic of your childhood

·      The stories that can help you heal

·      Why it’s important to be witnessed

·      When it’s okay to brag

·      The good things that happen when you focus on your movements

·      Why we resist the things that bring us joy

·      How to fill your emotional bucket when you only have 5 minutes to spare
