    Feel Your Feelings | A Transformational Journey

    How to feel your feelings: I have journeyed into the world of feelings and experienced that by observing and putting my awareness on them, I am becoming like a light house. Shining my awareness and illuminating the shadows. Creating conditions for the feelings to be taken seriously, seen, felt and understood. The feelings are a part of you that has its own wants. Connecting to and completing your feelings, like letting them go through the body, is one gateway to inner freedom with yourself. I have been to my first transformation retreat held and facilitated by Julie Maria Dahl and Torstein Schiøtz Worren. Here we created constellations which was a space where feelings connected to a memory or scenario could get felt and completed. Meaning that the feeling could be expressed and then go out of the body. This is very deep work which can bring up difficult feelings from the past, but also highly rewarding and fun at the same time. For anyone feeling the call to connect deeper with parts of themselves, I highly recommend this retreat and work, and I gently guide you to Torstein's and Julie's webpage: https://vakaheim.no/transformasjon. Thank you Torstein and Julie for the energy you put into this work. Now I understand how important it is and why you are so passionate about it. Topics: how to feel your feelings, emotions stuck in the body, letting go of emotions, family constellation therapy, emotional healing, transformational retreat, feeling your feelings, inner freedom Sent with Love from your neighbor Hobbit, Elmod The Earth Person. 🌱 Inspiring genuine self-care & reconnection to community and Mother Earth.

    How to Deal With Anger as a Man | Anger & The Whole Man

    How are you meeting the anger that comes towards you externally, but also the anger that comes up inside you? Do you open your chest up and lean against it, or do you close your chest and freeze? I have been freezing up against both external and internal anger for pretty much my whole life, and am now gently starting to change direction. Changing direction towards using the energy of anger for what it is supposed to be used for: communicating when a boundary is crossed and honoring the needs and capacity of my body. Integrating anger into our lives is, in my experience, very important, because I recognize that I am less of a man if I do not. I am half a man when I do not have the capacity to be with all my feelings. A whole man is then a man who is integrated with all his feelings, energies and emotions. Expressing them in a non-violent way, clearly and honestly. Important mentions: I offer gratitude for the guidance and help I have gotten from Torstein Schiøtz Worren. He has helped me connect more with my feelings and take them more seriously. He has helped me see my thought patterns as stories, which is possible to observe and not identify so much with, creating a bigger capacity to stay with my body and its feelings and sensations. I can highly recommend Torstein for counseling, and you can find all his information here: https://vakaheim.no/torstein Topics: anger, emotional integration, healthy masculinity, suppressed anger, boundary setting, somatic healing, shadow work, whole man, emotional regulation, men and feelings, freezing response, honoring your needs, stoic masculinity Get full access to Elmod The Earth Person at elmodtheearthperson.substack.com/subscribe

    Amanita Muscaria | The Mushroom Many Fear

    Do not eat or process mushrooms you don't know the name of, or don't know what it is. This is the first important reminder. The second is to move into the fear, because on the other end lies your fullest expression. I start this video off by sharing my understanding of the three biggest components in the Amanita, which are Muscimol, Ibotenic Acid and Muscarine. All three have different effects on the body, and by knowing what they do we can reduce the risk of toxicity. Muscimol is the sleep/calm component which targets the GABA-A receptors in the brain, creating the sleepy effect. Ibotenic Acid is the stress component which "stresses" the neurons in the brain and creates a "go" signal for activation. Which, with a big enough dosage, can overstimulate the neurons and in the end damage or destroy them. Muscarine is the sweat component which turns on the body's water system and can cause nausea, sweating and slow down the heart rate. Luckily for us, the Amanita only contains traces of muscarine. So it is very low. I further delve into the process of decarboxylation through boiling and drying the Amanita. Which in short adds heat to the mushroom to chemically turn the Ibotenic Acid into Muscimol. Important information: Boiling the Amanita for 2 - 2.5 hours with acid like lemon juice is widely practiced, and much of the Ibotenic Acid will either transform to Muscimol or leach into the water (which can then be discarded). Exactly how much transforms is not established by the study (mentioned below). When drying, the rate of transformation is lower. It is all about risk reduction, and not risk removal. The amount of toxins like the Ibotenic Acid and Muscarine also varies from mushroom to mushroom, the local climate and the region you live in. No two mushrooms are the same. This study went into how the toxins in the Amanita were reduced by drying and boiling it. I have also used this study for the numbers I have mentioned in the video: TSUNODA ET AL. 1993: "Change in Ibotenic Acid and Muscimol Contents in Amanita muscaria during Drying, Storing or Cooking" Here is the link: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/shokueishi1960/34/2/34_2_153/_article Get full access to Elmod The Earth Person at elmodtheearthperson.substack.com/subscribe

    How to Stop an Addiction | Greatest Enemy or Best Friend?

    I am shining a light on addictions and asking the question: "Are they our greatest enemy, or our most beloved friend?" What perspective do you choose to take? One digs you further down into the mud and one lifts you up from it. I have lived inside many addictions and have slowly over time managed to climb out of the mud. Galadriel said: "Sometimes to find the light, we must first touch the darkness" I invite you into a perspective shift: that our addictions are light masquerading as darkness. As Galadriel says, by touching the darkness we put ourselves in a position to find the light. Get full access to Elmod The Earth Person at elmodtheearthperson.substack.com/subscribe

    How To Let Go Of Expectations | Expecting The Unexpected

    This is your superpower. The invitation is to figure out what is outside your control. When you know this, you can expect that to happen as it is happening. How people react is outside your control. So do not expect them to react in a certain way. What you can control is how you expect yourself to react. This is your superpower. By releasing and letting go of this, you get the double benefit of harvesting and harnessing more potential to actually make a change. This is your superpower. Important mentions: Epictetus, Enchiridion (Handbook), Chapter 8: "Don't seek for everything to happen as you wish it would, but rather wish that everything happens as it actually will. Then your life will flow well."

    How To Observe Your Thoughts | The Mind's Ability To Grab

    It is possible to sense what it feels like to follow a thought pattern. It is possible to step back and become an observer instead of reacting. I have observed in me a mechanism that is grabbing and attaching itself onto thoughts, feelings and sensations. When the grabbing happens, it feels like I am putting my identity onto it and becoming what the mind grabs onto. In this episode I am exploring how this mechanism functions inside me, and how it affects mine and your everyday life.

    Self-Love | A Love Letter To Myself

    This is an open love letter to myself, where I share all the different ways I love being with myself. May it send ripples back to my past self, and inspire those who cross its way. Are you egotistical by practicing Self-Affection? Maybe yes and maybe no. It all depends on the underlying reason. I do it so I create the inner capacity to actually and genuinely be there for others. But also to practice committing, and coming back to myself. Back to the parts which feel lonely, angry and sad. It does not matter what people think of what you say. What matters is if it feels true inside yourself. What matters is your capacity to feel genuine care within yourself. And the way you choose to meet yourself, and those around you.This is what's in your control. My invitation is to stay here. As hard and soft as the mountains stand against the raging northern winds.

    Self-Worth | Having, Doing, & Being

    Where do you source your sense of worth from? Is it coming from the things you have, is it coming from the things you do, or is it coming from who you are? One is not better than the other, but awareness of how sourcing your worth from either one of them, affects you — is beneficial. In this episode, you will get my perspective on this topic and where I have landed. My intention is not to preach my way, but to share my own voice and offer a perspective that has greatly enriched my life.

    How To Build A Thriving Community | My Honest Share Of What Works

    For a long time I thought that I did not deserve to have genuine and trustworthy friendships. I thought that I was supposed to live alone and never be able to live in a community. This is now changing. After many small steps and stones moved aside, I am sitting now in a garden. A garden that is created from a community I have spent the last 3 years building, creating and forming. In the episode I am exploring the topic of community, and what I have found from my experience works, regarding creating a thriving and community.
