This episode of Amory is very different! It's actually an exchange of WhatsApp messaging with a friend who was sharing a major breakthrough in his healing journey. He describes the moment he realized the pattern between his emotions, and his thoughts...not getting overly identified with them, nor denying them. The ability to "be with" both his emotions and thoughts is creating the space for him to see himself as the loving witness. From that place, he is free to act instead of react, and therefore create the life he truly desires. I am sharing this because his realization is raw and authentic and may support you on your journey of relating (with yourself and others). After I recorded the beginning and ending of this episode, my friend Dojo created an account so you can reach him on Instagram - @bustout_dojo. If you are called to send him a direct message - please do! If you are interested in the 6-month group program, please message megan@amorypodcast.com or DM @amorypodcast It starts June 12th and runs through mid-November with bi-weekly meetings, bi-weekly one-on-one's, weekly videos/exercises, group support and will catalyze your relating to the next level!

Do you know what you are feeling? Do you avoid feelings or get flooded by them? How do you relate to the different emotions that arise? This is a short excerpt from the Self-Love online course which is created to support you to become more aware of your body, heart, mind and spirit. Only when we truly listen to ourselves can we love ourselves, which may require understanding how feelings are information, learning how to translate our emotions, and processing past emotions.
