It’s a solo episode with Jen today, talking about taking care of all your various bodies - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and your ‘quintessence’. Checking in with each of your bodies on a daily basis can lead to better decision-making, higher emotional intelligence, and improved relationship with self, and with others. Jen talks about the signs that you may not be seeing around tuning into your various bodies, as well as how to honor each of them on a daily basis.

Hi, everybody, and welcome back to another episode

of no halos here with Jen Lang and Jane Stark. Today, it's a

solo episode with me, Jen, and what Jane and I talked actually

before I hit record, so she is still recovering from her

illness. And if you listened to last week, last week's episode,

we talked about the energy of January and how it is very much

sort of an inward slower moving energy and self care type of

energy, there's not a lot of momentum, at least, you know,

generally speaking, you might be feeling quite differently

yourself. But it's been interesting for Jane because

she's been processing this illness. And she's working on

like day 15 or 16. Now, and it's been quite a journey for her

into the surrender aspect of that energy, and also trusting

what her body's signals are. And we had planned this early this

morning, we had planned to record this episode. And then as

the morning went on, and we had a couple of meetings, a couple

of conversations, we decided that she needed rest. And what I

wanted to talk about today, was trusting those signals from your

body when you need rest. This has come out of a couple of

different conversations this week, as well. And we debated

what to cover today in terms of, you know, content and what's

helpful for you, our audience, and what's meaningful, and based

on last week's episode, in terms of trusting the energy of the

month, and not jumping in and leaping into something new for

2022. It's around sitting in assessing where that energy is,

and what are the feelings that are coming up that are asking

for reflection? And what are the sensations in your body coming

up that are asking for attention. So they could be

something as simple as you get a good solid eight hours of sleep,

and you wake up and you still you're tired. Or it could be

something more complex where you know, you have achy joints, and

then you have back pain, and you have some other like jaw pain.

And this is your body literally talking to you and giving you

signals of something that needs your attention. Another aspect

of this that I want to address today is our physical body gives

us signs and symbols and signals of what needs attention. But

what often isn't clear is what that attention actually is, is

it? Is it that your physical body needs attention? Or is

there something going on in one of your other energy bodies, so

whether it's your mental, emotional, spiritual energetic

body, that is asking for attention, and quite often it's

layered. So if you only address something in the physical realm

than you and you haven't addressed it in the mental,

emotional and spiritual fields, then that chances are that

physical pain will come back in a different form or that

physical discomfort or symptom will come back in a different

form. The this is true for all of your energy layers and or all

of the levels of your different bodies. So if you have an

emotion come up that hasn't been processed, or that hasn't been

dealt with or you've stuffed down inside, then chances are

it's gonna show up in a different energy body like oh,

maybe your physical as a stuck emotion our as a persistent pain

or as a persistent physical symptom. It could be a digestive

system, it could be a reproductive, it could be

endocrine, hormonal, it could be breast pain. It's like a really

discomfort it doesn't and it might not be big, either. It

could just be like, oh, you know, I've always had this left

ankle thing. Or maybe you fell on your left ankle, and the

physical part is healed but the emotional wounding and mental

and spiritual wounding of that experience has not yet been

dealt with or transformed. So there I would ask you with this

episode today, where are you holding on to things that you

are ready to Let go of both physically, mentally,

emotionally, spiritually in any other way. And then if you have

let go or transformed something on the physical level, have you

let go with it or transformed it on all of those other bodily,

bodily three, all of those other energetic levels, whether it's

physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual?

And how do you do that? How, because you know, you can talk

to a therapist and talk through some things. But if you are have

been going to therapy for a while, and you've been well

supported, if you've gone through a process, you know,

might be very significant years of therapy, to process

experiences. But if you haven't cleared them from the rest of

your bodies, then all the talking in the world is not

going to get you to where you need to be to stop or complete

wrap up the therapy cycle. And if you maybe have been going to

a chiropractor or physiotherapist for a persistent

long term injury, but if you haven't dealt with it on a

different energy body level, then you're going to continue to

see that physiotherapist and that chiropractor or the

alternate health practitioner for that thing, until you have

resolved it in that other energy level, or the other bodily field

or level. So do you see a repeating pattern or a theme

here? Some of it, some of it is inherited from our social

structures from the way we are raised. And in the conversation

with Jane before I hit record, there, we had this moment of

looking at, you know, aspects and practices of stoicism, that

British colonists an attitude of stiff upper lip, don't let your

emotions show stuff them down inside. It's especially that it

can go as far as toxic masculinity where men aren't

given a safe men and boys aren't given necessarily or haven't

been given, some of them are, haven't been given a safe avenue

to express emotion. And therefore it results in physical

complications later on in life, or it might result in awkward

partnerships or relationships later on in life. So all of this

to say that what we have inherited from our both our

ancestry and what is portrayed for us and our current social

constructs, both in film, media, television, and to a certain

extent in conversations, expectations of family doesn't

always lead to a place of healing. In fact, I would say

that it hampers or stifles the transformation that you might

actually be seeking. And it operates on such an unconscious

level that you might not even realize, realize it where it

plays out on the mental level is in the words and the dialogue

that you might have with yourself. And so I'd look at the

difference between I am tired, versus I feel tired. So if you

say you are tired, then you are perpetuating the pattern of

fatigue. And you're taking on the fact that you are tired, and

you are reinforcing that message in your mental brain. And then

it's filtering through the rest of your body's energy bodies

physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. If you say I feel

tired, you may be white want to identify that even more fully

saying My body feels tired today. However I feel mentally

and emotionally alert and aware. This is why it's really helpful

to have morning practices, or maybe midday check ins around

all of these different areas of your life. So they have been a

part of my spiritual practice my morning spiritual practice, I'd

say for the past four years, where I check in with my

physical and mental, emotional, spiritual bodies. And then I

check in with the fifth like the quintessence I usually pull a

card for that guidance, to check in with the higher self, the

whole soul self. And when we start to break down that

practice into the physical, mental, emotional spiritual, we

are given the opportunity to really sit in presence with that

aspect of self. So then when we sit with that aspect of self, we

can start to get to know that aspect of self a little bit

differently. And so what is my mental body saying today? Well,

my mental, my mental self is quite alert. And I my ideas are

on fire and I'm making lots of synaptic connections and I feel

really excited about pulling together these seemingly

unrelated threads into a coherent conversation to then be

broadcast on this podcast. At the same time, my physical body

feels a little bit tired today. However, I did have a great

night's sleep. So my physical body doesn't feel like it's

sore. Or like I can't do something. However, I have had

other days where I felt more energized. So do you see when we

get into this distinction? Oh, and actually I can reference

this morning, I woke up and felt emotionally I felt inexplicably

sad. And I didn't know what that sadness was about. I know, I

just felt emotionally off. So when I checked in with my

emotional self, I was like, Why am I feeling this sadness? So

that led to a deeper reflection point around a choice I had made

yesterday as decision I made a split second, to do a rehearsal

to meet tomorrow. And I didn't feel I woke up this morning

going, Why did I do that? Why don't I put that pressure on

myself. And to that the emotional feeling of sadness

was, that's what old Jen would have done. Old Jen would have

tried to fit it in, tried to smash in crushing some rehearsal

time to practice so that we'll be ready for tomorrow's meeting

tomorrow's rehearsal in a more fulfilled way. However, when I'm

practicing that, then I'm practicing those feelings into

the music and into that experience, so that when I

perform it, I'm performing with that underlying pressure, rather

than coming at the music from a place of spaciousness and joy,

and expansiveness. So do you see how checking in with each of

these bodies can lead us to better decision making on a day

to day basis. So based on that realization, I had this morning,

this sadness, I was feeling identified, it identified why I

took action. And I said, Actually, I can't meet tomorrow

is there another date and time and we agreed on a different

date and time, that gives me lots of spaciousness and time to

approach the music from a place of meaningfulness. So this

spaciousness place is really where we want to approach so

much of our lives from. And when we are constantly busy, or

ignoring or numbing or scrolling, or doing all the

things, all the activities that keep us from actually looking at

all of those different aspects of self, then we do ourselves a

disservice. And we actually, we, when we, and when we shift that

behavior, to looking into aspects of self, more completely

than sometimes it's surface, sometimes it's like, my body

feels great today. And thanks very much, I'm going to do some

yoga, and I'm gonna go for a run and you know, whatever. But

sometimes being granular in looking at each of those aspects

of self, the physical, the mental, the emotional, the

spiritual, and the overall spiritual, that Quintessence

self, then we are able to be more in tune, then we can make

better decisions on a day to day basis that actually serve the

development on the spaciousness and the expansiveness of self.

So, yes, meditation is great. And yes, physical exercise is

wonderful. And I would argue that this time, and literally,

this takes me five minutes, it doesn't even take that long, on

a daily basis, setting aside that five minutes to check in

with the self and go, Oh, I can make this decision today based

on that. And I can make this decision today based on that. In

valuable, you'll live your life from a more aligned place,

you'll find it easier to move through your day, because you've

made decisions in alignment with where you're at.

Now, if you're stuck in a pattern, I want to address this

briefly. If you're stuck in a pattern of say, fatigue, and

tiredness, and say you're tired all the time, and you wake up

feeling tired. Well, if you're telling yourself that every day,

then you're going to perpetuate that pattern and that rhythm

every day. So maybe you decide tomorrow to wake up and say

something different to yourself and say, Okay, I acknowledge

that I have been feeling tired. However, I'm doing all the

things I knew I need to do to be rested. I am taking care of

myself. And today I feel a bit more energy than I have in the

past and start to shift the dialogue around I'm always

tired. I'm always tired. I'm always tired, too. I'm getting

better. I feel more energy. And it doesn't have to be you go

from the bottom of the ladder to the top of the ladder and one

day, it might be one step at a time. So then the next day you

wake up and say Hmm, wow, you know, I had a really busy day

yesterday, but today I feel rested and ready for the day.

And the next day might be oh, you know I had An awesome day

yesterday and building on the energy of the last couple of

days, I'm feeling ready to approach my day with joy, and

with more gratitude than I have in the past. And yeah, my, my

feet might feel a little bit tired. But that's just my eyes,

the rest of me feels great. So you see when we start to refine

and pull in and observe more accurately or more, with more

detail, the aspects of self, how that can lead to better decision

making, and then it changes the pattern that you might be stuck

in. Okay, I'm gonna leave it here. However, if you want to

dive into this more for yourself, Jane and I have an

awesome tool called the empowerment playbook. I'll put

the link in the show notes. But it is available I believe the

link is we are Jen and jane.com. Forward slash empowerment

playbook, or actually, I think just Ford slash playbook. I'll

double check the show notes for that. The other thing I wanted

to share with you is this is going out on Tuesday, the 18th.

If you want to talk about this a little bit more, and actually

meet us face to face. We have a community call on Wednesday, the

19th at noon, Pacific Time, that is 3pm, Eastern and 8pm in the

UK. And if you want to talk about some aspects of these

things, then you're invited to the call. And all you need to do

is actually just download the empowerment playbook. And you'll

get the reminder emails and the link to join the call. So we

hope to see you there. And yeah, we're also working on some

really cool projects. I'm going to drop a few nuggets here more

details will be forthcoming. We are opening a small group

program over a six week period, we start the second week of

February and it's called fierce serenity. So how can you

approach these aspects of self with both fierce fierceness, a

fierceness of energy, but also the serenity of surrender. So

finding that balance point, if you are curious and want to know

more, definitely keep listening to the podcast and follow us on

our social channels. Because we will be sharing more about pure

serenity there is a beta program, it's going to be a very

approachable price point. So if you have any concerns about

that, let me know. I'll also be talking about it on the

community call on the 19th. So definitely join us tomorrow for

the community call with we are Jen and Jane. And on that note,

have an amazing rest of your week. Listen and tune in to all

your different energy bodies aspects of self. And we'd love
