In episode 7, Amy and I interview our special guest and dear friend Steve Mattus. Known for his loving presence and kindness, Steve is a pioneer in merging the scientific understanding of the nervous system with the spiritual path. In this episode, Steve takes us through his tremendous journey through unimaginable circumstances of abuse & betrayal. Despite overwhelming odds and stripped of his own agency, Steve has emerged through his path with an immense understanding and embodiment of love. An often slippery and overused term, Steve cuts right to the heart of the matter teaching us how to embrace more love, not less, in All-Ways.

In episode 6, Amy & Dan shine a light on the roles of nourishment and play in the context of emotional well being. Uncovering key dynamics and tools for nourishing, Amy and Dan lean on a few decades experience of processing & integrating emotional experiences. Then they turn the page to the concept of play and how it can be a powerful tool for achieving the "flow state" and facilitate healing. Amy and Dan offer their perspectives of its importance for adults in the modern landscape and the relationship between our intention to play and the results we then might experience.

In episode 5, Amy introduces the process of how to connect to the heart system in order to process challenging experiences, ground our bodies to work through emotional dissonance. We discuss some challenges posed by the structure of modern society to connect to our heart system, but explain the electromagnetic power it contains and reasons for doing so regularly. In closing, Amy takes us through a guided meditation exercise to connect to our heart center in order to feel grounded and centered, setting the stage for us to receive nourishment and embrace playfulness. This is part 1 of 2.
