Episode Description
How do you deal with the emotions of depression, anxiety, anger, grief or even joy? Do you welcome the bodily sensations and watch the ever changing inner landscape with acceptance? Or do you resist, push away, flee or shut down? When loss happens in our lives, we often want to push feelings aside and move on. But those feelings keep bumping around inside of us causing physical or emotional problems. Today’s guest, Raphael Cushnir, tells us that when we are disconnected from our day to day emotional experience, we are blocked from actualizing our highest potential. Raphael teaches us to “surf” our emotions by attending to emotional sensation in the body. His methods and techniques allow us to move through our emotions rather than avoid them. Join us for an hour with a master of emotional connection.
