Let Your Soul Shine - Episode 31

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” — Helen Keller

“Bodies are the story of our life” — Annie Brook We come to know ourselves through our sensory perceptions of life, how the world affects us and how we move within it. Our bodies are a map of our histories, they truly are the story of our lives; they record the ways in which we were brought up, they chronicle our joys, our sorrows, our accidents and illnesses, our emotional experiences and our beliefs. They reflect the stories we tell ourselves, and the stories others tell about us.

Lisa and Michael are joined this week by the amazing Annie Brook, master therapist and educator who has helped individuals, couples, families, and children for over 35 years. Annie shares her journey that led her to becoming a somatic therapist and the importance of the daily practice of play to awaken the body. Annie shares her fascinating insights on how to inhabit your body, and access your natural intelligence, so that you can access the capacity for healing and resilience that we all possess! On today’s show, you will discover how you can open your brain to welcome states of pleasure, ease, love, connection and curiosity. When you do so it allows the heart to warm and the brain open for creating and enjoying life, it allows you to be in a space where you can truly let your “soul shine through” and enjoy life more everyday to grow a deeper connection to LOVE!
