    Healing Through Scent: The Transformative Power of Aromatherapy with Robin Jones

    Healing Through Scent: The Transformative Power of Aromatherapy with Robin Jones Gorgeous listeners, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home; a little moment of deep connection, where we dive into the inextricable link between mind, body and realising your most authentic self. This week, we delve into the story of Robin Jones; holistic health coach, neuro-aromatherapy expert and serial entrepreneur. A woman who, as you will hear turned to the power of scent when her own world (personal and familial) reached its own breaking point. A a mother of 8, wife and business woman facing significant health challenges, she embarked on a mission to truly heal herself from the decades of emotional and physical trauma that rippled through her family. Eventually, she found aromatherapy, and there began a lifelong passion to advance the status and availability of this ancient form of healing in modern times.  Robin shares with us the neuroscience that makes aromatherapy such a compelling trauma-support tool; how one can use scent on a daily or  bespoke basis to navigate ones emotional landscape and physical ailments; why the sourcing and treatment of oils is so critical to their impact; and the nature of her work with high achieving women, to personal tailor a medicine that will support their deeper expansion. Her own story is woven throughout - generations in the Mormon community, which she continues to serve and support with the flexibility of a modern lens.  It's a beautiful insight into not only the world of scent, but how powerful our senses can be in reshaping our experience (and perhaps success in) the world.  Episode Breakdown:  00:00 The Power of Smell: A Gateway to the Limbic System 01:01 Introduction to Finding Your Way Home Podcast 01:58 Meet Robin Jensen: Healing Through Scent 04:17 Robin's Personal Journey and Mission 06:35 The Neuroscience Behind Aromatherapy 18:06 Faith and Spirituality in Healing 41:41 The Role of Essential Oils in Emotional and Physical Healing 53:11 Custom Blends and Personal Rituals 55:02 Conclusion and Contact Information Episode Breakdown:  To connect with Robin: Follow her on Instagram: @therobinjonesConnect with her on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/therobinjonesFor more on Finding Your Way Home, including events and learning programmes: visit @ab_embodiment or www.ab-embodimentcoaching.org And if you've enjoyed the episode, remember to Subscribe and share it with a friend - you couldn't imagine the profound ripple effect your support has…  With love, always x

    Rosa Maxwell on Sacred Sexuality - Could Tantra be the Embodiment Practice you're Missing?

    Gorgeous Listeners, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home This week, we explore the sacred realm of tantra, sexuality and the spiritual liberation these ancient practices may offer. We're joined by a guest as honest as she is magnetic; someone who's lived was fundamentally and irrevocably changed after experiencing Tantric mysticism.  Rosa Maxwell is the Founder of the London School of Tantra; an organisation dedicated to educating UK audiences on the profound spiritual impact of so called "White Tantra". As its lead Facilitator and private Tantrica, Rosa joins us for a deeply personal conversation - diving into the origins of this ancient practice, its spiritual and philosophical underpinnings, and why / how in a modern culture so systematically repressed and emotionally disregulated, Tantra offers a solution.  We go deeply into Rosa's personal story - exploring the early trauma that had left her numb, the low self worth and perfectionism that had ruled her experience in work and play, and the moment Tantra entered her space. It was then that the healing truly began - and she began what has turned into a lifelong mission to learn and share the secrets of this centuries-old form of spirituality.  Listen in to learn all you wanted to know about how to achieve both deep self-expression and profound connection, in sacred contact with yourself and intimacy with others. A tender and immensely insightful episode for anyone re-evauating their relationship to self, sensuality, partnership and the capacity for abundance.  To connect with Rosa and find out more about her work:  Follow her on Instagram: @rosamaxwellVisit her website: https://www.rosamaxwell.co.ukExplore the events and trainings (including a beautiful Tantra Facilitator Training, next live in 2026) at https://www.londonschooloftantra.co.uk/For more on the Finding Your Way Home team, including events and spaces at our next retreat in Costa Rica: visit @ab_embodiment or www.ab-embodimentcoaching.org And if you've enjoyed the episode, make sure to Subscribe and share it with a friend - you couldn't imagine the profound ripple effect that small act has.

    Emily Fletcher on How to Create an Audaciously Abundant Life - The Trifecta of Mindfulness, Meditation & Manifestation

    Gorgeous Listeners, welcome to this week’s episode of Finding Your Way Home This week's episode marks a landmark on the podcast: showcasing the wisdom, beauty and experience of the Number 1 speaker from our 2023 Top 100 dream guest list... And she's come along, not only to share her profound insights from over a decade of meditation & manifestation teaching - impacting more than 60,000 students to date, from top-ranking CEOs and navy seals to housewives and children of divided homes. She's also here to share with us her deepest personal learnings: on befriending herself with intimacy and fierce self-compassion; on integrating "the shadow", the parts so painfully cast aside; and on how to step audaciously into the fullness of who you are and what you're here to transmit into the world.  Emily Fletcher, the one and only.  Emily is the Founder of Ziva Meditation - one of the world's leading mediation schools, supporting thousands of people across the globe to release accumulated stress, trauma and the mind/body-based limitations that keep them from inhabiting their bliss. Not only a school but a potent system, the Ziva Technique blends ancient wisdom with modern science; centred on the life-changing trifecta of Mindfulness, Meditation and Manifestation. Its impacts are extensive - physiologically, neurologically and in the dream lives her students have been able to create. As you'll hear, Emily's passion for meditation is deeply personal - it became a critical tool in the aftermath of an incredibly destabilising childhood, and a 10-year Broadway career that wrought havoc on her wider well-being. After years of study in India and the USA, "Ziva" was born - and has continued to evolve at the cutting edge of mindfulness-based healing. Her most recent programme, Ziva Magic, takes manifestation one step further - bringing deep embodiment and creation energy into the toolkit for building your abundant life, now.   This is arguably one of the juiciest, most personally-insightful episodes we've ever aired - I cannot wait for you to listen....  And dear ones - a special note.

    Felix Price on Psychedelic Ceremony & Connecting to the Divine

    Gorgeous Listeners, welcome to this week’s episode of Finding Your Way Home Today, a little adventure into realms thus-far unexplored on the podcast...  Earlier this year I had the chance to sit down with Felix Price; Founder of the Mixed Spiritual Arts movement, exhibiting artist and mens-work retreat-facilitator.  His passion: supporting those who might have been inhibited or uninvited into a deeper harnessing of their physical capacity, mental resiliency and spiritual connection.  Felix began his journey in his late teens, when he was introduced somewhat accidentally to the world of psychedelics. As you will hear, he has explored this world extensively - describing the personal impact these had in expanding his psycho-spiritual awareness. And, as you will also hear, full sobriety from them became a fundamental answer to the deeper question: how, in the world we live in, can we experience bliss, connection, deeper clarity, without needing to pick up a substance?  In our conversation, you'll learn about about Felix's own journey not just with plant medicines but with rehabilitating physical pain (a huge focus of his work now) personal growth, partnership, fatherhood and mens-work facilitation. We discuss the controversy around psychedelics, the dangers, and the profound need to personalise and safeguard any choices you do make to ensure you are individually cared for. For me, it was fascinating to hear his unique experience on such a charged topic - it felt only right to share the conversation with you all.  And to underline the point my loves: none of this conversation is shared to move you toward altered states, or altering substances. As ever, the key with any decision is to tune in to yourself; seek real expertise related to your unique circumstances; and to truly ensure that any choice you make is a profound representation of the deepest love you hold for yourself.  Let us know what lands for you, in a rather unusual episode...  To find out more about Felix and his work: Find him on Instagram: @felixprice.uamsa Check out Felix's artwork: @felixpriceart https://www.felixpriceart.com/  Check out Urban Avatars: https://felix-price.mykajabi.com/  Stay connected with the podcast: Thank you for listening; it means the world to us.
