Embracing the Felt Sense: Gris Alves on Recovery and Mindfulness
Yes, we do have also this connection to spirit to, like whoa, understand things. So it's a constantly moving through with lots of compassion setting it up like, ok, Last Week I really had this together.
Why do we often try to 'make sense' of our feelings when maybe we should just feel them? In this episode of 'Tales of Recovery', Gris Alves dives into the concept of the Felt Sense—a way of experiencing our emotions and bodily sensations more deeply. Instead of overthinking, Gris suggests tuning into our breath and ancestral body practices to truly connect with ourselves.
She explores how these methods can empower not just us, but also our families and friends, offering a way to gain control over our bodies and minds. Gris also touches on the genetic memory of addiction, the toll modern civilization takes on our mental health, and the vital role of self-compassion and mindfulness in reducing stress. You'll hear about the potential benefits of psilocybin for spiritual experiences and the importance of grounding yourself in the present moment.
Sharing our stories and journeys, Gris believes, is a powerful medicine for building a better humanity. If you're ready to explore new ways of healing and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
