A{Live} Now: When Discomfort Ripens, Calibrate Pleasure + Systemic Intergenerational Trauma — EP128

Destruction, dismantling, burning things up. A quiet clearing, despair, grieving, integration, dust settling. Looking. When it’s time to create anew and there’s space for sweet tendrils and sprouts, what do you align, anchor, or calibrate to? For me it’s pleasure in a deep and whole way, yet sweet and joyful.

In this episode, I talk about the ripening of difficult feelings in uncomfortable situations, respecting yourself and seeing the spiritual agenda, and some recent experiences that triggered some Chinese American ancestral dynamics. And that I’m home in Michigan and what I’m doing here now!

Are you craving touch!?

This episode is sponsored by the Online Touch Workshops : Touch in the Time of Physical Distancing.

Supportive self-touch can deepen your capacity to navigate all that you feel, your pleasure, and the ability to heal trauma and be in your body. It can soothe, bring ease, and peace.

I am offering a 2-Part Somatic and Energetic Healing Touch series that gives you 9 basic and simple tools, with how to direct your awareness to enhance your presence and self-support. Part 2 gives you ways to use your wall to release and complete anger, frustration, and fight responses, as well as strengthen your boundaries and feel that you are supported — that someone’s got your back — and that’s you!

Find both online workshops at CandiceWu.com/touch where you can tune in at your leisure. For a limited time, they are “pay what you can/want” at a sliding scale.

Your Support Means So Much!

If The Embody Podcast, my writing, or guided healing meditations have inspired you, helped, or spoken to you, it would mean the world to me if you would show your support through a small donation.

Each creation is lovingly made from my soul and takes anywhere from weeks to a few days to develop and produce. I gladly pay an editor who supports me in polishing and creating high quality content.

As little as $2 help nourish my podcast and other creations to continue to have life and cover costs.

You can also take a look at my offerings which can deepen your embodiment on your own journey. Proceeds from those offerings also help me in the creation of more resources and material.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am so appreciative.
