Harnessing Emotional Tools with Hali Love on Mindfulbellie
I really believe, like with that foundational study, that we really do all have the power to heal ourselves.
Ever feel like your emotions are running the show, pushing you towards that tub of ice cream or another glass of wine? In this episode of 'Don't Eat Your Feelings with Mindfulbellie', host Ellie Rome teams up with Hali Love, a seasoned holistic lifestyle coach and yoga teacher, to tackle this very issue.
Hali, who has over 40,000 hours of teaching experience and a deep well of knowledge in emotional healing, shares practical tools to help you manage those tricky feelings without reaching for food or other numbing agents. Hali introduces us to the 'Six Bodies Check-In Method', a technique that helps you balance your emotions and energy.
She also delves into the story of the 'Good Wolf' and 'Bad Wolf', breaking down how our Child, Parent, and Adult Egos play a role in our emotional responses. Ever heard of 'spiritual bypassing'? Hali explains why it's important to avoid the trap of constantly trying to heal and instead focus on staying present. One of the standout moments in this episode is Hali's emphasis on the power of the pause.
Both Ellie and Hali stress the importance of taking a step back and really getting to know yourself before making lasting changes. Hali's journaling exercises are a great starting point for self-discovery, and her 'Six Bodies Check-In Method' offers a comprehensive view of your emotional and energetic state. Hali also talks about the concept of 'shelf-ing' emotions, which means allowing yourself to feel your feelings without stuffing them down or numbing them with food or other substances.
By expressing emotions in a healthy and responsible way, you can steer clear of emotional eating. Whether you're a yoga teacher, a holistic coach, or someone looking to transform your relationship with food, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tools. Tune in to learn how to manage your emotions better and take a significant step towards food freedom.
