    Medicine is whatever brings you back to wholeness - TBK #11

    Medicine isn't just pills. It's anything that brings you back to wholeness. In this episode of The Body Knows, we explore what actually counts as holistic health and why we've been taught to overlook the most accessible and reliable wellness tools we have. 🎙️ We talk about: – Why the question "what medicine do I need?" can be so much more powerful than "how do I fix myself?" – How treating certain things as medicine (instead of self-care) makes them non-negotiable – A simple framework for getting to the bottom of what will truly resource you We all have the body wisdom.

    We rewired our mind-body connection and this happened - TBK #3

    Being alive can feel like magic. But first, you have to come back to your body. In this episode of The Body Knows, we finally explain what somatics and embodiment actually mean, and how doing this work helped us move through anxiety, chronic health struggles, emotional chaos, and into a way of living that feels downright mystical at times. 🎙️ We talk about: – The difference between somatics and embodiment – How we rewired our mind-body connection – Where you can start if you're interested – Intuition, chronic illness, emotional resilience... and how it’s all connected – Why this work matters not just personally, but politically Because when you stop solving your emotions and start feeling them, everything changes. 🌀 OUR LINKS Join our mailing list for upcoming programs here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdJPQ28Eip5h6YGhlQODPkeqvrJZeZhqpZ-XIVxZbMixb-Pxw/viewform   Thank and support us for our work by buying us a coffee here: https://ko-fi.com/thebodyknows  Follow Ana on IG  at https://www.instagram.com/roam.and.rise   And Leona on IG at https://www.instagram.com/leonachaseslions 🌀 The Body Knows is where we — Ana Ally and Leona Waller‬ — say the quiet parts out loud about healing, somatics, and why trying to “fix yourself” never really works.
