Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto Elizabeth DiAlto

In this episode, we’re taking a deeper look at Body Love + Reverence. 
Relating to our bodies is something that's interwoven into every single day and moment of our lives. This is the main reason I’m so passionate about bringing love and reverence to the experience of having a body for women. 
In episode 439 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(2:37) How major industries have made women feel unhappy and dissatisfied with their bodies
(6:48) Why the pillars of Body Love + Reverence are for anyone, regardless of the relationship with your body
(8:33) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #1: Sensual healing is about being able to tune into your self and feel and know the truth in your body
(9:29) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #2: Beauty as medicine is deciding what our own perception of beauty is, and developing the “eye of the beholder” in all areas of life
(11:27) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #3: Working with your intuition allows for presence, which enables us to fully tap into the human and soul self 
(14:49) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #4: Energetic awareness shows you how powerful you really are, and taps into potential you didn’t know you had. This releases unprecedented reverence for the body 
(15:26) Body Love + Reverence Pillar #5: Sacredness of every body means every single person’s body is sacred. What would you do if you knew how sacred you really are?
(17:02) Benefits of body love + reverence

Welcome to the final part of my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series. Today, we wrap up with lessons  31 to 40, exploring topics like patience, healing, and body love and reverence. 
I believe in being with life wherever it is at this moment, but also chipping away at things to get to the other side. Many of these lessons reflect how we can honor each of our individual paths while also using discernment and compassion to help us make choices toward continual (and collective) growth.
I believe there are infinite amounts of resources existing within us, waiting to be remembered and reactivated. If any of the lessons in the series helped you at all, I’d love to hear from you! 
In episode 439 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(1:18) Lesson #31: One of the best uses of prayer - to pray for people to receive exactly what they need, not what we think they need. 
(4:39) Lesson #32: We have to face evil and negative energy and transmute them, or they will persist. 
(9:09) Lesson #33: Energy vampires have a way of draining your lifeforce, getting their fix, and not changing. 
(14:49) Lesson #34: There are some things we may never fully heal or get over, but aim to get to a place where it just doesn't affect you the way it used to anymore.
(17:24) Lesson #35: Invite in reverence, which is many steps beyond respect, as a beautiful way of experiencing more grace in your life. 
(17:58) Lesson #36: Stored in our souls is more wisdom, knowledge and experience the most of us will ever tap into and fully remember, in any one single lifetime, 
(18:58) Lesson #37: We all need people in our lives that we can be our most unevolved selves wuth. Get you some of those people, and if you already have them, cherish them dearly! 
(20:16) Lesson #38: On being on the aromantic spectrum. Until I was 38 years old, I thought I wanted a partner. It turns out, I really don't. 
(23:57) Lesson #39: Slowing down is magical, and learning the difference between impulse and intuition in the body is good for the soul. 
(27:06) Lesson #40: Everything you've ever needed has always been inside of you.

As I approach my 40th birthday next week, I’ve been reflecting on the experiences that shape the foundation of my value system and understanding of the world around me. In this episode, I delve into lessons 21 to 30 of my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series, exploring topics like reciprocity, embodiment, and identity. 
When it comes to my relationships, health, career – honestly, everything in my life – I’m committed to trusting my embodied awareness. I’m all about meeting people where they are, but I’ve also realized that I need to be okay with where I am and let my inner-knowing guide the way. I hope this series sparks something in you to think about your innate wisdom and what lessons you’ve picked up along the way. If anything resonates with you (or doesn’t), I’d love to hear from you! 
In episode 439 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(1:28) Lesson #21: Reciprocity is great to integrate into your value system to just ensure that you're not constantly burning yourself out and over-giving. 
(4:20) Lesson #22: Be discerning about marketing versus information. 
(9:22) Lesson #23: Differentiate between healthcare and illness scare (h/t to Anita Moorjani)
(10:25) Lesson #24: Be careful what you identify with and hold on to all your identities with a flexible grip.
(12:42) Lesson #25: Practice less armchair diagnosing and more discernment around what kind of behavior, treatment, and communication works best for you.
(13:50) Lesson #26: We do not need to understand things or how and why they happen in order to heal, grow, and learn from them. 
(14:39) Lesson #27: People let attachment to (and weird definitions of) morality interfere with good decision making.
(15:06) Lesson #28: Here on Earth where love is extremely powerful and potent, but we also have free will with our truth, integrity, compassion, and forgiveness, love is just not enough sometimes. 
(15:35) Lesson #29: Expressive arts are so important because sometimes we need stories in order to feel and acknowledge what we’re actually going through. 
(17:50) Lesson #30: It’s really important to create levels in my work and be clear about who is meant for each offering.

Lessons 11 through 20 in my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series all stem from one overarching theme: lead with curiosity. When I get curious with myself and the world around me, there’s so much potential for compassion, healing, and discovery. 
In this episode, I reflect on some of my deepest liberatory practices, including not taking things personally, prioritizing people who can respect me, and honoring the orientation of my soul. All of the lessons mentioned in this series are extracted from lived experiences, either my own or those around me, so I’d love to hear what resonates with you. See you back here next week for lessons number 21 to 30! 
In episode 438 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(0:47) Lesson #11: Allowing other people to have their own experiences is one of the most liberating practices that any of us can ever have.
(4:32) Lesson #12: Don’t take things personally, or make things about you.
(7:03) Lesson #13: Chronological age doesn't guarantee or determine as much as we think it should, would or does towards people's maturity.
(8:33) Lesson #14: None of us should waste our time with people who don't respect us. 
(10:32) Lesson #15: Give the most time to people who see, honor, cherish, revere, and respect you for who you really are.
(15:27) Lesson #16: If any part of your identity is part of a norm, it's very important for you to learn about the lived experiences, and gain some insight and competence about the experiences of those who aren't part of the same norm that you are. 
(18:22) Lesson #17: Money is important for survival, but it ain't all that. 
(20:27) Lesson #18: Younger souls are here to manifest and older souls are here to serve God.
(24:10) Lesson #19: Accepting who and where you are, and accepting responsibility for your life, is also a liberatory practice.
(26:32) Lesson #20: Sometimes it's helpful to learn the rules so you can break them.

In this episode, I am getting into morning routines, sacred embodiment style. Instead of telling you what to do, I’m going to share a few stories, read a poem, and invite you into what I share about my morning routine, Body Love and Reverence, and the beautiful ripple effect falling in love with your body creates (spoiler: it has to do with way more than what you look like!)
I always do a birthday offering, and this year is doubly exciting. There’s a celebration coming up in September to celebrate my birthday and 10 years of the School of Sacred Embodiment, plus I share details about the CHERISH retreat happening in Spain, Fall of 2024. 
If morning routines allude you or you’re tight on time in the morning and tend to skip it, I hope this episode gives you space for your own sacred morning embodiment practice to emerge, since as I like to remind people constantly,  something is always better than nothing.



In episode 436 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss:
(2:45) How sensual language inspires embodiment practice
(4:12) A poem inspired by my Sacred Embodied Specialist class
(7:22) My personal sacred embodiment morning routine and the practice of noticing yourself
(10:17) The value of Body Love and reverence
(12:24) How intentional connection creates a ripple effect throughout your day no matter how long you take to do it
