In this weeks episode, Elias and I talk about the symbolism in nature, what its like to be present with yourself, meditation and much more Bio I’m Elias, I’ve been on a journey to know what it’s like to fully feel life : to feel all the ups and downs : to feel the happiness, the anger, the excitement, the sadness : to find the fullness of joy. I believe that we are here to experience this life in its fullness and that fullness is found in realizing our ability to create the experience itself. As we journey down into ourselves, our mind and our body, and understand what elements make up those parts of our lives, we start to see the material we have to create with, becoming creators of our own experience. I’ve experienced many different modalities to help me see who I am on the inside. Of these modalities my current focus is on Russian Stick Work. This is a somatic bodywork technique, founded in a cross between massage and martial arts that helps someone to go past the sense of self that is held in the mind and body, relax the tension that’s held in that sense of self, and start to see life with a different perspective, or without a perspective. When we enter that state of cognitive and bodily dissonance, we open a portal between our patterns of living that allows us to create something new and different. It is that opening, that unsurety, the not knowing itself that helps us truly see past all the narrations that we tend to hold. When we can see that, then we can make this life into whatever we wish to make it into.
