In this episode, I talk about the 3 layers of human existence. Most people only live in the layer of the mind. The thoughts, the stories, the judgments. This creates a limited experience of reality. The next layer is the body, where we connect to life outside of thought. We feel. We are present. The body then becomes a portal to the spiritual dimension: the connection to all life force itself. Whe...

This is the audio from an Instagram Live I did today (follow us on IG @healing.embodied). I'm diving deep into the real reason you overthink (it’s not what you think 😜).

There’s a deeper thing that’s driving the NEED to keep overthinking. What am I really afra...
