Health Harmony & Happiness with Cathy Cathy Struecker

Have you ever pondered about the intriguing paradox of human existence; how we simultaneously encapsulate both the physicality of being human and the spirituality of divinity? Join me, along with  Melissa Harris, as we dive into this topic. We invite you to discover the rhythms of humanity - the collective earthly experience, our personal day-to-day trials and tribulations, and the emotional and cognitive phenomena that make us who we are. Equally, we'll delve into the essence of divinity and how our spiritual connectedness is woven into our being and echoes in the world around us.

We discuss the limitations of black-and-white thinking and the importance of embracing curiosity to find a deeper connection with the divine within ourselves. Melissa and I touch on the significance of balancing faith and openness, forgiveness, and the idea that all world religions share a common message of love and harmony.

In today's episode we'll cover:
1.  That we are a living paradox - one in which we can be fully human and fully divine at the same time, and how our awareness of this leads to wholeness.

2.  That everything in our experience is sacred and is part of our connection with {mystery, Universe, God}.

3.  That the more we can release our grasp on certainty of belief and surrender to something beyond the limits of our minds, the deeper we can connect with the {mystery, Universe, God}.

How does breath relate to your rhythms? Or to balancing the masculine and feminine energy that reside within you?

Your breath connects the world within you with the world around you, and breath work can be the tool you use to link your own rhythms and the world's rhythm so you live in flow instead of chaos.

Your breath invites a more balanced, mindful way of living. In today's episode I'll uncover the connection between breathwork and your energetic rhythms. 

You'll learn:
Why breathwork most certainly is related to your energetic rhythmsHow breathwork is similar to tracking your rhythms and the rhythms around youHow breathwork can be a tool to use to your advantage during your cycle.Today's talk could change how you perceive and interact with life's most natural process - breathing.  Breathing exercises can indeed help us slow down, cultivate mindfulness during chaos, and fill us up rather than drain us, just like tracking your Energetic Rhythms can do.

Breathing well, aka Functional Breathing, is breathing that optimizes the air exchange that takes place within your body.  Creating the right environment for this gas exchange to take place.  But in order to do that, one of the key elements of breathing well is actually to slow down your breath. And believe it or not using your body's natural rhythms and the rhythms around you involves that same element of slow. It's about creating a new baseline way of living. A more mindful approach to showing up in this world.
How you breathe is who you are as a person, so when you can slow your breath, your life naturally begins to slow down and feel less chaotic. Less rushed. Less busy all the time, even if it is full.  It seems to flow instead of fight the chaos that surrounds it.  Listen in to learn more.

Your mind and body are one, not separate as we've been led to believe. And the quality of both your breath and posture mirror the way you show up in this world. 

Imagine if a simple shift in your posture could change the way you're perceived or the way you perceive the world around you, or if intentional breathing could bring focus and calm to your life. In this episode, I unpack the profound idea that the body and mind are one and not separate.  And as one, your breath plays a crucial role in binding them together. 

In this episode you'll learn:
What the body-mind connection isHow it influences how you show up in this world How breathing and body posture impact your thoughts and how you feel.Plus, I share details with you on the upcoming five-day challenge: Intentional Breathwork Simplified - a chance for you to kick-start your journey towards a more focused and intentional life.

When your Inner Critic stops by and brings along resentment for the ride, everyone around you, including yourself, might want to run for the hills.

Your inner critic is the opposite of your inner guidance and she or he usually has it out for you, especially when she brings along resentment.  But it's not always a bad thing when she shows up. 

In today's episode, I share about a time when my inner critic and resentment were screaming in my ears and how I used it to my advantage instead of letting it bring me down.  I share how allowing these parts of me to be present and have a voice led me to enriching my experience as a mom as well as deepening my relationship with my husband and myself.

Feeling stuck is a good indicator that something needs to be released from your life. Yet when it regularly feels like the chaos of running kids, making sure they're fed and bathed while also taking care of the household and your relationship with your spouse (and hopefully even yourself) dictates your life, it may make the thought of letting go of anything seem impossible. 

Which is why it's essential to carve out time in your schedule to actually focus on the task of letting go. 

In this episode, you'll learn:
Why releasing is essential to your action-taking natureHow to know when it's time to release somethingWhat a releasing ritual isHow to create your own releasing ritualIn your life releasing might look like getting rid of physical things that are cluttering up your home environment or digital clutter on your device or in your inbox, or it might look like mental clutter that's taking up precious real estate in your big beautiful mind. 

Just like physical clutter can make you feel more chaotic, stressed or contracted, mental and emotional clutter can do the same.

You don't have to live with the mental and emotional clutter anymore.
And when you are able to let go of whatever is stuck in your brain, you experience freedom and flow...and it's beautiful!

A releasing ritual or ceremony helps you place intention around whatever it is you want or need to let go of in life.
