Ep #114: Energy in Motion (Emotion) with Cat Kabira

In this week's episode, Cat Kabira returns to the show! In Episode #97 Michael and Cat talked about the energetic field, but this week ‘emotions’ are on the menu. They start off by talking about breathwork, heightened experiences, exploring the depths, but also about ‘coming back’ and being more ‘here’ and present in this world. They explore our senses and abilities beyond our five senses, and refining our sensations through skill and devotion. They speak about emotions, which is essentially ‘energy in motion’, and how to healthily process those emotions in the body. Cat shares that emotional work can make the energy field stronger and raise your energy level. Michael emphasizes that it’s important to not judge ourselves when doing emotional work. They also talk about privilege and the accessibility of doing your own emotional work, and finish with some practical tips for you to start creating more emotional awareness at home! This Podcast Episode is for anyone who’s self-curious, interested in heightening the awareness of the emotional self, and reducing suffering on a daily basis.
