Listen To Episode 471 As Gwen Payne Uncovers: [1:30] What's Blocking Our Ability to Move Past Anxiety? Gwen Payne Inspired Sedona Gwen's Gift to You! How Josh and Gwen met for the first time in Sedona, Arizona when he went there to do a training with Carrie. What it's been like for Gwen to be back in Austin, Texas after about 40 years since she last visited it. The fact that Gwen was actually conceived in Austin and that's why it felt like home for her when she visited it in 1983. Unpacking how we can allow ourselves to be and feel more free in our skin. How growing up in a Mediterranean culture where differences are celebrated allows Gwen to see how homogenous American culture and identity are all over the country. What Gwen's 'Breath is Prayer' medicine is and how it helped Josh let go of held-back emotions. Why experience is vital if you're going to facilitate and hold space as you lead a breathwork ceremony. The fact that the average adult is only using 30% of their lung capacity. Why sometimes people are so triggered and afraid by the idea of doing the inner work that they don't even begin it. Exploring the deeply embedded thought in our psyche that everything we need is outside of ourselves when that isn't true. Why we are so afraid to authentically express ourselves out of fear of being punished. [10:40] The Core of Behavioral Dysfunction What microtrauma is and how Josh did it to himself when he would watch porn or not speak his truth when he was a child. Why energy from trauma doesn't just go away; it transmutes. Unpacking the core of dysfunction: being out of alignment with our natural way of being. Why freedom is something that we already have and how we can unblock ourselves to obtain it. The moments of freedom that Gwen has experienced and witnessed in others while doing breathwork. Why just doing breathwork is not enough; the release it gives us is fleeting and so it must be practiced consistently to help us feel free and in alignment. The fact that it takes 90 seconds for an emotion to move through us + what it is about our psyche that blocks them. Going beyond the intellectualization of our healing to focus on somatic healing. 249 SOMA Breath For Less Stress: Niraj Naik 410 Mark Divine | Positive Neurodiversity: Kokoro Spirit, The 5 Mountains For Inner Peace, & How To Fulfill Your Potential Why Gwen was the only breathwork teacher that made Josh feel like he could teach other people. [20:00] The Art of the Breath: What Skills a Facilitator Needs What to expect when working with Gwen both in groups and private sessions. The embodied learning that people go through when they do Gwen's breathwork facilitator program. Diff
