02: Leslie’s Journey of Being Embodied: How Yoga, Psychology, Psychedelics, Mysticism, and Relationship Guided the Way.

How can breath work and somatic experiencing help you foster emotional regulation and a deeper connection with your true self?

Welcome to episode 02 of the Embodied: Step Into You Podcast with your hosts Paula Scatoloni and Leslie Rhyne. In this episode, Paula and Leslie explore transformative practices through personal stories and shared expertise.

Leslie shares her process of awakening, reminding one of the importance of breath work on one's journey to emotional regulation and acknowledgement of feelings of safety. She added to this by sharing how she had a transformational experience on an SE training session where she learned to connect with the core self or resourced states, that it can bring healing to wounded parts of ourselves.

Paula shares insights from her work with a relational touch that underlines the allowing of the nervous system to be tracked and bringing other layers of the body into coherence. This makes a person feel more present and connected with their true self, whereby its essence fills the body to a greater capacity.

The episode ends with a small guided meditation led by Paula to ground listeners in space and tie them into the natural world and feel safe and supported.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Leslie's Reflections on Personal Growth
  • The Importance of Breath Work
  • Understanding Safety and Goodness
  • Somatic Experiencing and Relational Touch
  • Witnessing Self Through Psychedelics
  • Phase Two: Being in the Present
