How to Let Your Body Lead in a Crisis: The Power of Feeling to Heal

In the event of an emergency ... the body takes notice, but the problem is, people often try to ignore the body or stop it from responding.

From panicking and hero-ing to pretending that nothing happened, we tend to come up with ways to avoid the healthiest response of all - feeling.

Between a stimulus and a response, there's this tiny and beautiful opening for us to go with the feeling. When we go with the feeling, it creates expansion, aliveness and a greater capacity to be with big and unexpected things.

Ultimately, the body has immense capacity for helping us deal with the difficult, but we have to allow it.

How do we get located in our body in difficult moments? How do we use the art of looping to move through feelings? In this episode, we talk about how to accompany yourself during an emergency and the power of letting yourself feel to heal.
