The Spoken Remedy: Recent Episodes

"A journey home - for the mind, body & soul. Sez' podcast stands ahead as a masterpiece in the genre of spoken word artistry." The Nordic Consciousness Magazine. // Symbolic language weaved into meditation, poetry and short story. These words are energetic apothecaries for emotional creatives, sensitive souls and nature lovers. They are pieces of lyrical artistry and will help you find the remedy to every soul-sickness you experience in life. Heal, Awaken, Ascend with The Spoken Remedy Podcast. Hosted by Sez Kristiansen. //
Many spiritual teachings show us that form is empty—but few guide us to see that emptiness itself is form, alive and breathing through the body. This meditation invites a full return: after glimpsing the formless, we come home to the body, where the subtle intelligence of life unfolds in sensation, breath, and movement. Here, emptiness and form are inseparable, and self-realization becomes an intimate, felt experience rather than a distant concept.
Using imagery of evolution, nature, and cosmic lineage, the meditation dissolves the sense of separation between observer and observed, revealing that your breath, sensations, and aliveness are inseparable from the intelligence of the whole. You are invited to rest fully in the present, release the mind’s narrative and the illusion of control, and allow your body to reveal the effortless unfolding of existence.
Thank you for supporting this work and for giving it a place in your heart, Love Sez

These daily remembrances are invitations to return to what has never left: your own aliveness. Each affirmation is a thread weaving you back into the house of being—the body, the breath, the quiet intelligence that holds everything as it is. Here, embodiment is not a goal or a perfect state; it’s the willingness to feel whatever is present, without a story. These words will remind you that presence is your safest refuge, that thought is only a window (not the world), and that wholeness is already here—even in discomfort, even in contradiction. They offer grounding in moments of overwhelm, gentle guidance through disconnection, and encouragement when old narratives resurface. This is a companion for those longing for stillness without escaping life, for those ready to trust the simple miracle of being. This audio was created as shorter reminders as part of The House of Being - True Embodiment meditation.

Step into the oldest home you will ever know—your body. This meditation invites you to leave outside the door everything you think embodiment means and enter the living presence of what already is. So often we believe we need to feel a certain way to be whole or fully alive, but true embodiment is simpler—and more accessible—than that. Here, we explore the house of being: a refuge that never moves from the present, even when thoughts pull us through its thought-windows into stories of past and future. Through stillness and imagination, you’ll rediscover that aliveness is not something to achieve but something you already are. This practice is for anyone who feels like they inhabit a half-lived life, disconnected, dissociated, and bereft of wholeness, as I have done for most of my life. I hope it offers you a way of relating to your thoughts so you have more access to the Divine - not in spite of the body but because of it! Much Love, Sez

This poem explores how our resistance to life can leave us feeling disembodied. Though nothing can exist outside of presence, we suffer deeply in our attempts to escape what is here.
With a short reflection, gentle music, and subtle sound effects, I invite you to feel whatever is present right now, without the story. Whether that is heartache, grief, loneliness, dissociation, joy, peace, or stillness—it doesn’t matter, as long as we stay with our direct, unnarrated experience of it.
Freedom, as I’ve come to know it, doesn’t come from making life more peaceful than painful. It comes from being able to be with both, knowing we are the space that holds it all.
A question you might like to reflect on is: What is it about me that is able to hold both joy and pain at the same time? Can you lean into that meraculous 'ability' - explore it gently, and offer your curiosity to it?
Thank you, sincerely, for helping make this space a reciprocal one.
If this work speaks to you, please consider sharing it with those who might find it meaningful. I left social media in 2022 and choose not to use advertising or promotion, as part of a slower, more intentional way of living and creating. Your word-of-mouth support means more than I can say.

This piece is a gentle ode to idleness—a meditation on the quiet, miraculous fullness found in simply sitting, watching, and being. With the sea as a companion and the sky as a witness, we explore how presence asks nothing of us but attention. In a world that constantly demands productivity, this poem offers permission to pause, to be thoroughly unuseful, and yet feel more whole than ever. Through images of waves, wind, and distant sails, we are reminded that being present with whatever arises can be one of the deepest spiritual 'achievements'.
If this reflection speaks to you, I invite you to journey further in my new course W(hole)ness (on Insight Timer & my website)—a slow, spacious return to the essence of who you are. Thank you for allowing this work to sit with you for a moment, and I look forward to adding more poetry here soon. Much Love, Sez

This poem is a quiet ode to the cosmic woven into the domestic — how even the simplest gestures can become sacred when seen through the eyes of wonder. It’s a reminder that we are not separate from the universe, but shaped by the same forces that form stars, radishes, and tenderness.

Sometimes, we need to use a different word in order to let Grace in. In this meditation, I explore 'presence' as another name for Self, Oneness, and Reality—so we can deepen our somatic experience of the undivided now. Whether you're seeking peace, clarity, healing, or a sense of belonging, this inquiry invites you to rediscover Wholeness - not as something to achieve, but as something that we already ARE. Even pain becomes a doorway back into inclusion when we realize what holds it is inherently complete and loving. I don't want to add more words to our conceptual understandings, but challenge the assumptions we often make on this path, which can become what limits us from a deeper homecoming. Much love and gratitude for listening today. Sez

This immersive meditation uses the metaphor of a tree to guide us through the illusion of separation and the quiet journey back to our true nature. Through poetic reflection and direct felt experience, we explore how thought becomes identity, how suffering arises through forgetting, and how, like the tree, we can return to the peace that never left us.
A powerful invitation to simplify 'enlightenment', to see clearly the dualistic nature of thought, and to remember yourself home. Please forgive my use of “it” when referring to the tree in this meditation. For the sake of clarity in the visualization, our more-than-human kin was momentarily framed as an “it”—but this is a limitation of language, not of truth.
I hope it doesn’t distract from the deeper message of interconnectedness and remembrance. Thank you for being present in this space and for holding these words for a moment - may they be of use to anyone suffering, lost, or unsure right now.
Much Love, Sez

This track is a daily invitation to return—to yourself, to presence, to the unshakable truth that you are already whole. It is a reminder that nothing in life needs to be fixed or figured out for you to belong to it completely. Through surrender and by offering a radical presence to all experiences, you are guided to embrace uncertainty, failure, longing, and love without resistance. Let these words be a refuge, a steadying force in the midst of change, and a call to live with more ease, depth, and trust in the unfolding of life. May this also serve as a supportive companion to all those on the W(hole)ness course, as a quick reminder that simple presence is the pinnacle of all spiritual ambitions. Thank you for all the unexpected ways we converge paths through these words. Love Sez

In this soundscape laced with gentle words, you’ll be guided into a reflective and sensory-rich journey through the natural world and your place within it. Blending poetic language with grounded presence, this poem explores what it means to belong to life, not as something separate, but as life itself becoming aware. You'll be invited to soften the boundaries between self and world, and to rest in the quiet knowing that you are nature, making sense of itself. I have hand-gathered the nature soundscapes from New South Wales in Australia, where we hear the unique 'whip-crack' sounds from the Whipbird, the bubbling Noisy Minors, croaks from Golden Bell Frogs, and Black Field Crickets. I hope this recording helps you remember your place in the greater Whole, and perhaps even helps you see that your deepest questions are what makes us who we are. Much love, from Sez.

In this poetic, guided meditation, we explore the illusion of a separate, exalted "higher self" and instead uncover the wholeness that has always been here—woven into our being, inseparable from life itself. Through guided reflection and deep presence, you’ll be invited to see the self not as something to transcend but as a vast, interconnected relationship—like a forest sustained by unseen forces.
By releasing the spiritualized striving for a "better" self, we return to the intelligence of nature, where growth is not a personal achievement but a harmonious unfolding. This meditation is an invitation to rest—not in seeking, but in remembering. To listen. To trust. To meet life with the same wisdom that moves rivers and unfurls leaves in spring.
If you long for a more grounded, expansive way of being, this is for you.

Delve into this poetic meditation and let its resonance awaken the depths of your being. Each word is crafted to echo in the quiet spaces of your soul, uncovering truths that gently whisper to your knowingness - that you are ok, you are enough, you are what you seek.
This experience invites you to explore the living landscapes within, reconnecting you with the essence of who you are.
Cultivated from the more feminine-rooted teachings of nonduality, this affirmation touches on elements of ecopsychology and nature-based healing, helping you remember your innate, inherent, and ever-present wholeness. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for allowing me to walk with you today. Love Sez

This audio has been created to deepen my free experiential meditation, The Unbound Self. As you wake up, come into your body through your sense perception and discover how much the mind creates your day ahead of time with ideas of effort and struggle.
In this talk/meditation/reflection, we are asked to stay in bed while we make contact with what is already here through our direct experience, which already offers itself to our longings of comfort, ease, and abundance. It will take a willing softness to shift away from what we've learned about achieving certain states through effort and seeking - but with practice and remembrance, we will eventually create so much space within us that we will come to know ourselves as the very medicine we seek.
I hope these words reveal to you how thoughts, stories, and internal narratives fracture what is inherently complete - and how vital our direct experience through the felt senses is in helping us find our deepest sense of wholeness. With love, Sez

Attempting to fail as gracefully as I can at articulating the experience of our selfless, true nature. This meditation is full of intentional questions that will help you unbind your egoic sense of self from its narrative, freeing the story of emotional pain and lack from its root cause; our forgetfulness of who we truly are. This visualization blends thoughtful music, nature scapes, and the non-dual realization of ‘no-self’ with direct experience, aiming to ground you, rather than dissociate you further from your innate sense of wholeness.
Let me know how your experience was if you feel called to - and thank you so much for the privilege of journeying home with you. Contains: a 10-minute intro talk / a 30-minute, deep-dive sensory meditation / and a 7-minute end notes talk.

Blending psychology, wilderness, and non-duality to take you on a meditative journey into the heart of your self-less being. The colonized mind pollutes our ability to recognize our essential nature by creating a protective small self that relies on the external world. However, we also have a Wild Mind, a metaphor for how natural, spontaneous, and organic our minds can be when we leave them to regenerate, compost & expand themselves. From our rewilded and transparent mind, we are better able to recognize our undivided Self.
This 20-minute talk and 15-minute meditation have to complement soundscapes and wildcrafted sound effects to help make this theme a visceral experience, not just a concept.

This experience has been wildcrafted from time in the Wild. It offers us a somatic experience of presence, which can help us heal by bringing us down to earth. Nature has a natural ability to ground us which is one of the most important healing practices of our time because we all spend much of our day on screens, in buildings, in shoes, and separated in many ways from the natural world.
We are nature. We don't come to earth but from her, so the more we reconnect to our Wild the more we embody our Whole Self.
I hope you enjoy this experience and I would love to meet you on Substack for weekly meditation sessions.

A poem to help you discover yourself without the external noise that bombards us every moment. We often seek answers through this stream of information, but it tends to not make us feel like we are healed or whole, and often causes a rift between where we are in our lives right now and where we wish ourselves to be. What if we listened more attentively to the well of wisdom we already hold within us? What would bubble up from that space if left undammed?

Those of us who have been traumatized often find ourselves shut inside protective caves that sever us from our feeling body. Returning to who we are, therefore, means leaving what we know - those coping strategies (caves) - that no longer serve us. Finding our way back home to our soft mammal of a body means giving up the reptile within that keeps us perpetually in fight/flight/freeze mode. I hope this helps you with whatever you are going through right now, Sez

Nature has an alliance with the Great Mystery and is therefore guided, healed & grown in accordance with that trust. Why do we consider ourselves separate from that same companionship when we ARE nature? This is a 3-minute poem about how nature never gives up on itself & how that seed is planted within us too. I hope it offers relief to those currently in doubt of their spiritual progress. Thank you so much to all who listen, comment, donate & share. You are the reason this work exists.
Can the medicine, offered to ourselves in the midst of ache, be that which keeps us searching for a cure? Can the voices that encourage us to feel differently than we do, be better than we are in that moment - be what’s keeping us oscillating between self-healing and perpetual self-wounding.

Your body will be balmed in honey and butter will be dripped over heart, tobacco and cornflour cast at your feet, the crown of your head wrapped in laurels and red powder blown across your face. And as you make sacred of nature, so does she make sacred of you. Reciprocity.

It’s an old paradigm to try and cure suffering with suffering. This we all know. On both an individual level and a global one.
So if you are feeling fear right now, that’s so ok - but an exasperated sense of it might not be serving you, your community, or the collective consciousness we are trying to raise.
We need feet on earth, strong backs, and open hearts willing to both hold - and spill out Love.
Because all hearts have a purpose right now.

Our greatest regret in life is most likely going to be that we never made our lives our own: that we lived according to what others expected of us and never walked off into the wild unknown to find what authenticity tasted like.
We have wounds created by contorting our bodies, our lives, and our work into shapes that are not truly our own.
And so we walk, often until our last breath, in lives not big enough, not nourishing enough, not free enough…
And so we come to believe that it is US that is not enough, not the lives we’ve tried to shoehorn ourselves into.
Acts of the untamed
to reclaim our autonomy
are brave and bold
and should only be attempted
by those who are willing
to swim against the current
and face possibly even more resistance
before they break open into the free.
But the more you reclaim those parts of you that were exchanged under domestication, the more this wound will become a salvation, a guidance, a way of living…
Wounds are puzzle pieces longing for your wild to fit into them - and make whole what feels most ruptured.
Because the wound needs what it needs.
The heart needs what it needs.
You need what you need.
Never shed your fur for anyone.
____
QUESTIONS YOU MAY WISH TO ASK YOURSELF:
Where have you told yourself, it's ok -
I don’t need what I need - I’ll be ok with a substitute?
Where have you had to give up a fundamental piece of yourself and called it love?
Where have you tried to be good - the good parent, the good partner, the good worker, the good seeker…
Where has ‘being good’ become detrimental to your soul?
what is the shape of your wound? And what does it require of you?

All your limiting beliefs protect vulnerable pieces of you that have been hurt in the past.
Healing trauma and the stories we create to protect ourselves - is about feeling safe enough so we can be present with the wound. Presence unfurls the child, the truth and the origin of all protective beliefs. Disarming each tender ache begins by creating a safe space where we can see who are the guests of this body and who is left when all of them have gone.
You are ultimately beyond your story, beyond your fears, and capable of using the wisdom of your wounds to set you free.
You don’t need to live in perpetual protection, gathering more experiences, more stories to strengthen the validation you have against your wholeness because you were never broken to begin with…just vulnerable. And that vulnerability needs to be embodied again to fully dismantle the density of what protects you. It’s a hero’s journey to free yourself, to re-story your pain and return home again to your body, wiser for the journey. But we are all in it together, we are all learning to walk this path without the overbearing bodyguards that are our black bears.
Thank you for being here with me. Your time is so valuable so thank you for spending some of it in this space today.

:::::::::::::
What if we saw all our unwanted situations, emotions, and circumstances this way? What if we could climb through the secret window of our own lives and deal with difficulties from a more calm, grounded, and peaceful room in our minds? Would we not then be able to invite each demanding emotion, each pending responsibility, each expectant relationship in our life to sit with us for a moment?
Rather than feel overwhelmed by the noise coming from outside of us, we could prepare ourselves a little every day to meet with those demands - and one by one, listen and tend to them as an individual. I believe all pain, challenges, and losses wish to be met by the fireside of Love - it is your warmth they are after. And that doesn't mean you set up a spare room for them to stay as long as they like - remember it's your home, your body, your heart, your mind - but if they are welcomed, they will not break your doors down ;)
You don’t have to walk back into your life
through the front door.
You can slip through the hedge
and climb up the ivy
that has overgrown the small
window around the back.
It’s always ajar -
cracked open to let the light in
and to allow the damp darkness
to find its way out.
You can crawl between the paint-flecked panes
and let yourself into your own home
while the guests and visitors clamber against your door;
their needs and pains
splintering timber with their weight.
And when you have found yourself
a place upon the floorboards
that is quiet and still -
you can take off your shoes
and have your tea,
and rest for a while.
And only when you are ready -
can you invite each guest,
each responsibility,
each seeker of your attention,
to sit beside you.
And one by one,
they can drink their tea
and spill their words in your company.
And one by one,
you can offer them time
to be seen and heard and felt.
And one by one,
they can leave again
knowing that they are not
the owner of this home
but merely a seeker of its warmth.
You do not need to let them all in,
nor fight your way through -
you can take your time,
you can bare your feet,
you can drink your tea
and only when you feel ready -
is each allowed a moment of your time.

the narrative of our emotions.
We believe they say something
about our lack, whereas they
speak honestly and with candor

We have confused emotional pain

Feeling loneliness doesn’t mean
you don’t belong - loneliness asks you
to deepen your relationship with
everything you come into contact with.
Feeling anxiety doesn’t mean
you are not in control - anxiety asks you
to return to your body and
deeply ground yourself in it.
Feeling envy doesn’t mean
you are unworthy of what
someone else has - envy tells you that
you are resonating with the manifestation
of what your heart is guiding you towards.

The difficulty you're facing right now can either be accepted or it can be allowed. One will leave you overwhelmed and unable to move from the foothills - while the other will help you climb this mountain with grace.
When you accept difficulties in your life, you tell yourself that there’s an unwanted external presence forcing itself upon you without your consent. This belief then contorts the body into defensive postures, using all of its energy to protect you against perceived threats.
What is ‘unwanted' or 'undesirable' causes us emotional and psychological stress – which translates into toughened, inflexible, and protective bodies.
This means that our biography really does become our biology.
But what if we choose to allow instead?
We can allow this difficult moment or emotion to be as it is. It has a right to be here, to teach us what we need to know in order to grow fuller. It might still hurt – but we can allow it our breath and presence. We can allow it to show us its roots so that we can better understand its reason for being here. We can allow ourselves to feel this hurt without needing to fix it. We can allow ourselves to grow softer in its company.
Unwanted guests really are the best teachers.
If we accepted an unwanted guest in our house, we would have little power to make them leave. We would just accept their presence and try to avoid them as best as possible. We might as well accept what we can't change, right?
But if we allowed them to be here...if we invited them to cross the threshold with permission - we could then ask them for a lesson in return. We could create boundaries for them. And because of this empowered mindset, we would then be able to ask them to leave when it was time.
We can accept the lack of control we currently have – or we can allow this lack of control to show us how to surrender to the greater vision Love has for our life.
You need what you need.
It’s not a matter of worthiness but of giving your body, heart & soul what it needs to stay alive, to stay open, to stay whole.
In fact, the less you excuse your needs, the more you will find yourself.
And once you have created the right environment for who you are - wherever you are right now - you will begin to bloom in ways unfamiliar.
A flower will sprout here, a wound will heal there, a friend will take root over there…all because your energy is not spent fighting or defending your body from your environment.
Never feel shame for the dreams you have, no matter how bold nor how humble they may be. All your desires and needs make you who you are and how your spirit wanted to experience this life.
What environment do you crave today that will help disarm your mind, nourish your soul and mend your heart?

You might not be able to see the purpose of everything right now.
And it makes being in this space very dark and unsettling. But if you can create a relationship with one small part of your life - one little object, one simple practice, one small piece of your garden - then, when you step back from your life you will be able to see everything is connected and deeply purposeful.
Just as if you spent time studying the details of a small leaf with only your fingertips, so too would you be able to step back and look at the entire forest to see thousands of leaves with the same intimate qualities.
An intimate and tender relationship with the small will allow you to see the great in everything.
Sometimes just looking at your life with only your eyes can leave you feeling empty and separate from it. Whereas kneeling down and getting into the soil and studying the details of just one beautiful thing in it - can suddenly connect you to something far greater than you ever expected.

The word 'Distraction' has found itself in such a negative light - but it comes from the original meaning, “to draw away from the mind.” Being drawn away from the mind can be a fundamental healing process right now that guides us back to our hearts and returns us to our lives with a very different perspective.
I hope you say ‘yes' to those healthy distractions that draw you away from the mind and into the heart. It’s medicine for these times (not to mention for our creative businesses) where we are all feeling this new sense of exhaustion.
Questions for today:
- What are my healthy distractions? (activities, hobbies, practices that draw me away from my mind)
- What am I curious to try but haven’t because I feel it’s irresponsible/too expensive/not practical etc.?
Thanks for listening, sharing & commenting! Sez

POEM LYRICSIt Took Me AwayI took a break
for a while.
Not for any reason
other than
I heard the rustle
of a wild bodied
animal in the
dark woods
and decided
to followed it.
And it took me away...
It took me away from what
I knew,
and it took me away
from the place I
had been standing still
for so long in.
It took me away from even
my most meaningful work,
It took me away...
And when I left the woods,
I came across a dragonfly,
I wanted to see my own reflection
in its mosaic wing
so I followed it too,
and it took me away.
It took me away
from myself
and even from the things
I most love,
it took me away...
And when I came across a
heaving field of oats, I wanted
to know why a tree stood in
its center,
and so I followed its furrowed
lines into its core.
And when the berry black
raven perched
high up on the oak's eaves
invited me to follow it,
I willingly said yes -
and it took me away.
It took me away
and weaved me so
tightly around the land
that I began to loosen
my bearings
and before I knew it
I didn’t know my way back
and all I knew was
that I was away.
And when I came to a small
cleft in a rock
where the rainwater pooled
down into the earth,
I followed its trail
and it took me away,
it took me away from the woods,
the raven, and the dragonfly.
It took me away and I kept following
the stream down and down,
away and away
until I stood at the mouth of a
great ocean
and there was nowhere left to go.
But now I was no longer away,
I was here,
in this body,
in this heart
and I no longer needed
the distance nor the distraction.
And with one deep breath,
I took the first wind current home,
back to where I had once stood
in the woods,
but everything was different
everything was bathed in light.
And all the things I thought were
so important were now meaningless
and all the things I found little importance in
were full of urgency.
And in that moment
I realized
that being taken away
was the only way
I could truly return home again.
There is a necessary packing away of dreams in one's life that - if done with love and acceptance, can make space for new ways of being in the world.
Because it is our un-lived lives that hurt our loved ones the most - not the ones we are living in right now.
When we are truly present with who we are, what we have, and where we are right now - we are in our greatest power. And that strength doesn't only benefit us on an emotional level, it reaches right down into our cells and changes how we fundamentally carry ourselves through this life.
Most parents know what this feels like - to offer a dream back to the earth that was made long ago and for single-occupancy. But remember there is no loss in anything that is given away in reverence of Love.
Questions you might like to ask yourself:
- What dream has wandered away from my Heart into my mind?
- What old dreams do I need to houseclean in order to make space for new and spontaneous ones to arise?
- If I got closer to my dream every time I became present to the moment, what would my day look like?
These images are of a place I have dreamt about my whole pre-motherhood life. An isolated, self-sustaining permaculture home where I would spend the seasons tending to myself through the land.
But right now, if I were handed that life - I wouldn’t take it. Because right now, I need to switch hemispheres to be with my family. No amount of calendula. echinacea and thyme can compensate for time with loved ones. And in clearing out this dream for now, I will make space for a new kind of inhabitance; the one where I keeping tending to the home within myself and allow a for a new dream to be given life.
May your dreams be given clarity through the inclusion of loved ones.

SUBSCRIBE / REVIEW THIS PODCAST
We hear the word consistency a lot - in our creative work, our lives, our practice. It’s as if we will lose everything if we step off the consistency treadmill - but we tend to lose ourselves in that binary process.
But what can be manifested from a body consistently comparing itself, stressing itself to meet others' demands and own expectations?
If you feel the weight of that word, and all the success it promises, then remember that consistency originally means ‘to be standing firm' - and you don’t have to lose yourself to that kind of stagnancy.
Instead, remember the word accumulative, meaning ‘to contribute through movement’ and keep adding those small moments of value to your life that move you forward.

This episode is a little different from the meditations and poetry I usually offer. I sit down in the woodshed with the summer rain pouring down outside and open up a frank conversation with you about why choosing your heart will make your life so much harder....and why that's such a good thing.
Some topics of interest: 2:08 (my story so far...)
5:51 (why returning to your ancestral land might not provide you the belonging you seek)
14:56 (how to tell if you are making the right decision)
15:33 (what 'the path of least resistance' really means)
17:33 (why we should just follow our hearts anyway)Thanks for listening, for sharing, and for taking some time to yourself today. Sez

Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates
I am currently writing a guided meditation about rewilding the body as there seem to be many misconceptions about the word.
Rewilding isn’t about trying to go back to living as hunter-gatherers. Rather, it's about examining our cultural paradigms, seeing how they affect our spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional health.
We don’t have to demonize our culture in order to Rewild ourselves, because urbanization is an aspects of ourselves too. We can however, with awareness, learn what aspects of our modern culture rob us of our basic humanity, our intuition and our freedom.
Using that awareness, we can live in our culture (and ourselves) more courageously, express ourselves more authentically, and live more attuned to the natural forces that help guide us through life.
Some Rewilding questions you might like to ask yourself today!
-
What roles don't allow me to walk barefooted in my life? (wife/husband/parent/job role/carer/sister/brother etc.)
-
Why can’t I express my wilder Self in these roles?
-
What one part of me can I allow to slowly grow wild again in this role? (e.g if you feel overly domesticated in your partnership, can you nurture your need for adventure? Or If your job restricts you in unhealthy ways, how can you speak up for your creative needs more? Is parenthood overwhelming? How can you find more play in this role? How do you feel about your own body? Can you give the ‘farming' of your body a rest and let it blossom in its own beautiful way?)
Much more to come on this topic, so keep finding your wild :)

(SHORT VERSION - Affirmations Only)
Trauma is a story unexpressed in your body. Instead of being processed, that pain became consumed and found itself among your flesh. Now this story protects you at all cost – the body has become a soldier against its most destructive response pattern; indirect but perpetual threat. The body is therefore almost always in a state of survival and when you are on the battlefield – there is no time, nor freedom for healing.
But every story can be healed.
We just need to learn how to become the authors of our own bodies.

Dear one,
It will take more than joy and ease to create your ‘Best Self'.
Because the misalignment is part of the alignment, just as the fracture is an integral part of your greater wholeness.
Your future ‘Best Self' is not made up of only goodness.
The best part of her is when she faces the fight, the loss, and the struggle, and chooses to hold herself through it anyway.
Manifestation is desire made into matter and the very nature of desire is to bring life into what has yet a heartbeat.
Desire, and the creation of it, is messy and hard and black in its essence, like what existed before the universe, before the birth of the sun, before you entered the womb.
You will therefore not embody your 'best self' in spite of your struggle - but because of it.

POEM
I met her
when she had
fallen
so far,
she could
no longer
remember
the shape
of the sun.
I met her
when nothing
was left to
hold onto,
and freefalling
had become
freedom.
I met her
when she
had reached
the peaty floor
and there was
only darkness
to hold her.
And was
overcome
with joy
because
I knew she had
finally reached
a place
where she
would be able
to plant the
seeds of her
future in:
at the very bottom.

Dear one,
Love will heal, once you let go.
Because it is in the holding on to these old stories that you are keeping yourself separate from the life being written by a greater hand.
Abandon, with grace, everything that turns this wheel of perpetual conflict. The one between yourself and others, and the one between you and yourself.
Even if there is anger left, you are holding on.
Even if there is fear left, you are holding on.
Even if there is doubt left, you are still holding on.
Abandon this inner conflict as if you would an old house whose beams and rafters buckle inward, whose floorboards have thinned and splintered, whose warmth seeps out through the gaping cracks and whose body no longer offers a home for your inhabitancy.
And when everything, including yourself, has been abandoned, so is but Love left behind.
Because, Love requires nothing, not even a someone (especially not a someone), to exist within you.
Love is the alkaline that balances life’s acidity into neutrality, chaos into calm, fear into radical acceptance.
And only from acceptance can you stand in the wreckage of your life and begin to rebuild it from Love, because only then are you standing within your true Self.
So go ahead and lose yourself, only to realize that it’s not you that's being let go - but everything else you’re not.
Journal Questions:
-
What am I still harboring within myself that has passed and needs to be abandoned now?
-
What are my fears surrounding letting non-serving things go?
-
How can I practice neutrality more in my daily life and do I have any associations with being detached from my emotional drama?

POEM:
Love is
what is left
behind
when all else
has been
abandoned.
And to empty
yourself of
it all
will only
remind you of
how full
it feels to
to be
unoccupied

Love
is the
silence
lingering

all sound.
Always available

courageous
enough
to listen.
Dear one,
Old patterns fashion the body.
Some habits weave these limbs so tight, they have closed you off from your Heart.
And when that disconnect restricts you from seeing your true nature…look beyond yourself, your shape, and your body.
For there is a truer mirror to be used.
Take a moment right now, in the room that you’re in, in the space you occupy - and look closer.
The table, once part of a woodland, once a forgotten seed sleeping in the soil, now, here in this room.
The material hugging your skin, once a crop soaked in warmth and nourished by the rains, a thousand strands of sunlight touching your skin.
The food in your belly, grown by mother moon and her seasons, now having a conversation with your body.
The daylight cutting through the window, its glass made of eroded rock and minerals, eroded over millions of years.
Cultivate a closer relationship with everything around you and you will cultivate a more intimate relationship with yourself.
TIPS ON FINDING NATURE’S CONNECTION WHEREVER YOU ARE
-
Use a different mirror. When you see something beautiful in nature, remember that that there is an element of yourself being reflected back.
-
Connect with your breath, often. Everything alive breathes. Take a deep breath and think about how many other living elements are breathing with you right now.
-
Find wholeness in imperfection. Everything in nature is imperfect. Not a single petal, root, wing are the same (often our definition of perfection). Find a marked tree, a leaf-eaten rose, a discolored patch of grass, and notice how the plant grows anyway, never believing in the story of its flaws.
___
POEM
Undulating valleys
can be found in
the body’s
bending limbs,
wilder paths
in the
untamed thickets
of forgotten skin -
and reflected in
the surface of
deep blue water -
the Heart’s
unfettered youth
ever luring you back
into her depths.

Dear one,
Mushrooms have found a fascinating way to create an abundant future to exist within…
Fairy rings (or fungal mycelium) start as a single point and grow outward to form a circular shape. They continue to push outwards in an attempt to consume more nutrients from the surrounding area and when they exhaust the minerals found on the inside of the circle, they widen further and further to find richer food sources.
As these mushrooms grow, the center of the circle becomes a nutrient-depleted zone (a dead zone) where nothing is left to sustain its growth.
The outer ring of the circle is dark green and lush because the roots of the mushrooms are forging the way ahead of themselves and breaking down nutrients in the soil, ready for its future inhabitants.
This incredible process results in an ever-growing circle that never chooses to go back inwards or cross over on itself because it knows that there's no new food source on the inside of the circle.
So too is your future being created beneath the surface right now - by the desire within you that seeks ahead to find more nourishing spaces to nurture your growth.
And as you grow, so too will you leave a greater space within you that contains your past.
And as you grow, so too will you unfurl into the future that has been prepared for you.
Trust in the desire that is pulling you forward and offering greater expansion.
What makes sure that your future is a lush and nourishing one?
- Intention - Intentions + consistency = your future. There is no greater nor simpler equation in life. Keep going, keeping creating small, daily intentions.
- Connection - How will you connect with yourself today? What will make you feel most grounded, spacious, and in commune with a greater Love? The more you connect with whatever is Divine to you, the more your future will contain that divinity and offer certainty that everything is working out for your highest evolution.
- Adaptation - Adaptation is not the opposite of manifestation. In fact, it is a prerequisite. Adapt to your current environment as best you can, making sure you changing what you can and surrendering to what you can’t. Remember: we are not here because we are the strongest but because we learned how to adapt.
In gratitude,
Sez
(If you enjoy these remedies, please feel free to pass them on.)

To emergefrom what hasbeen concealing youis to recognisethat you are already in tact, fully whole, an entity unto yourself - and with enough courage, 'to rise' would mean to pull yourselfup & through the weight that has buried you -but which hasnever separated you from your wholeness.
______
Dear one,
To believe you break under the weight of this world is not so.
To believe that you splinter and fray at your edges, leaving lesser and lesser of you is nothing but an old wound passed down by those who believed more in their brokenness. Beause it’s easier to see your surface-dwelling fault lines than it is to remember the depth and substance of your mantel.
This journey into the ache will end at its core - and once you have met with its centre - so too will you emerge again, passing through to the other side - whole as you’ve always been, only wiser for the encounter.

_______*That desert
you are facing
right now
is not validating
how alone
you are,
nor how ‘wrong'
the path you
have chosen is...
It is a vital
landscape that one
meets upon the path
into the unknown
and its wilderness.And rather
than feeding
yourself on
the sparse
offerings of
this place -allow your roots to
nourish
and hold
you for a while.For, as dry and shallow
as this desert
may be,so too
is the well within you
deep and full.*Dear one,
Some plants have developed a surefire way to survive uncertainty by sending roots deep below the surface. These are taproots. It is the first root to appear from the seed and remains the largest, central root of the plant. Desert plants can send roots down more than 75 feet.
This taproot absorbs water and minerals from the earth and serves as a food storage and a reserve. This ability to not rely on the surface makes these plants more self-sufficient and resilient during hard winters and severe drought.
So too have you been gifted a taproot that reaches deep below this surfacery world. It was the first seed of self-sufficiency planted within you that empowers you to survive times that leave you feeling alone, uncertain and vulnerable.
Follow what makes you feel most nourished, most embodied, most connected, and you will be following your taproot inward.
And do not fear the surface life for it does not determine how well you bloom, only your roots have the power to do that.

How do you really know when it's time to let go of your dream?
To let go of a person?
To let go of a belief?
When it leaves your heart.
This is a 3-minute poem to help you see that you are the gardener of your own life and it is your work to midwife what longs to come into this world and the reaper of what needs to go.
Prompts you may wish to ask yourself after:
- what are the reasons I keep justifying that this idea/dream/person should stay?
- what else could enter my life if I let this/them go?
- what could I spend my emotional energy on instead?
Thanks for being here! Watch these videos come alive on Instagram @sez.kristiansen
Your spiritual practice is a container, a thing that encompasses you so that you can become MORE you.
Like salt drawn in a circle around your body, you can become protected in this container – you can become healed in this container – you can spill yourself into this container – and what is contained within this space is you - the 'you' beyond the form - the 'you' that exists within the circle but are not made of it.
What is your daily, sacred practice? And has your dedication created fold-lines within you that you can find easily again or do you find yourself needing motivation to keep at it?

Your emotions have not evolved since you were part of a nomadic, foraging community, thousands of years ago.
And although we have more words to describe how we feel now, our physiological emotions have remained unchanged.
That means, even though our external environment has changed irrevocably in the last thousands of years - our bodies remain wired to an ancient way of living.
Is it any wonder those of us who are highly sensitive or identify with being an Empath find refuge in being closer to the earth?
Is it any wonder we dream of speaking with the unseen world and long to belong to a soul-connecting community?
Is it any wonder we feel exhausted in the loneliness of our parenthood or heartbroken at the abandonment of our elders?
Is it any wonder that we feel disconnected in an era that allows us to be more connected than ever…wanting to be heard in a crowd full of voices and seen in a space where only some faces are celebrated?
Is it any wonder...
Our bodies are calling us back, through emotion, to the remedies that this modern world cannot heal alone.

Our bodies have been through so much this past year. They have been our first line of defence and hold the residue left from all the unpredictable events that struck us into fight, flight or freeze mode. Our emotional bodies have collected the residue of this storm too. We can all feel it in ourselves, in the way we carry ourselves now and the heaviness we have accumulated. But remember, it takes time for our bodies to heal - and what matters most is what we left behind.

This is a story to help get us through these slow and quiet times. It's a true story about my neighbour and their journey through last year. Some context you may like is that I live part-time in a cabin in the wilderness, where only a few people surround our land. The other half of my time is spent in Copenhagen city. Our cabin is located on a UNESCO heritage site and much of the land is wild with deer as frequent visitors.
I hope this story takes you to a place that can help you see through these days with a little hope in your heart.

Do you feel like you are in a state of perpetual waiting? These are the times we face right now... but could these times be symbolic of the work we are required to learn to love ourselves? To chalk out the pattern of what's inevitably to come? Things will change, dear soul. They will because that is what life is and although you can't see it right now - the pattern you are working on is creating the skin you will wear in the future. Hold on and keep the faith...all is coming.

Listen to the introduction of Story Medicine, the new poetry book in the Soul Skin Series.
You can buy the book here! This book is dedicated to those who seek a remedy of which this world cannot heal alone.
Story Medicine offers a remedial well of story, prose and poetry that aids every soul-sickness.
**Ancient traditions have known the combined power of emotion, nature and story for centuries. They harnessed it through song, myth, fairytale, folklore, archetype and poetry; administering a specific story to a patient whose imbalances could not be understood by the mind alone. Something much more potent was needed for the one who suffered from deep beneath the human bone.
These days, we live in a type of soul-famine from the story medicine that used to nourish and connect us to the greater order of the cosmos - to our place in the natural world and our purpose in the community.
But we still have the ability to self-medicate, and it is equally potent.
These stories have been wildcrafted from the wilderness: the one within and without - the one above and below – the one we live in now and the one our ancestors call us back to through the eaves. They seam the two worlds together to make medicine for deep and restorative healing.
It is said that there is a story remedy for every soul-sickness you experience in your life. All you have to do is find it...
This book will offer you the remedial seeds of symbolic, metaphoric and emotive language, so that you may begin to plant your own medicinal garden within yourself.**
These short poetic stories have been created to show you the nature within yourself. Through symbolic language, you will be guided into seeing the unconditionality of your worth and inherent wholeness. These poetic pieces contain background music, nature sounds or binaural beats.

Corona-time has seen us all battle with addictions and familiar comforts used to cope with uncertainty and stress.
We get to know the best and the most-weary of ourselves through this period of liminality.
If we spend a little time listening to our bodies and resting in that uncomfortable moment that makes us reach for the habit, we have already dismantled something that has for years assumed authority over us. Stay with it – the discomfort – that need to escape, the longing to numb or hurt yourself and see where it leads you that isn’t the habit.
I have been practising this for a few weeks now and so far this moment of discomfort has instead guided me on miles and miles of midnight walks – over dunes and sand flutes. It has taken me away from myself, only to return to a deeper version of who I am.
Where will your discomfort lead you and How are you coping these days?

Meditation is not just a practice...it is an experience. Experience a meditative journey back to your most essential Self through poetic discourse, ambient music, and storytelling to help align to the truth of who you are. This experience contains a few minutes of talk either side of a 10-minute meditation and guides you toward your desireless and fearless centre of pure awareness. If words are the seeds then we are the soil. Let yourself be nourished and flourish through resonance.

Have you felt a certain calling throughout your life? A quiet voice that tugs at your heart, beckoning you towards a completely different life? I call this our Soul's Siren - a consciousness connected to the love & service of our world - and that leads us to the most fulfilled version of our own life. On this journey into yourself, we will listen to that unique calling and answer it with an intention to make that voice a sacred - and honor its guidance.

I am sharing a practice I do daily in my own self-healing efforts. It uses HEAL as an acronym to open up the dialogue between our pain and our Hearts. Honor / Enquire / Allow / Love yourself back into alignment when you feel overwhelmed, anxious or about to 'unravel'. It can be used as a longer meditation session or simplified into a short emotional check-in and I hope it gives you a tool that has helped me over the last few years get to know my emotional body. In gratitude, Sez

In times of unease, nature has a profound way of bringing us back to our own true nature. Take a walk with Sez and let her remind you of the ways you are resilient, patient, and strong. Let these healing words settle anxiety and fear, and if nothing else, remind you of your incredible ability to love yourself through what may seem a hopeless moment in time. May your own nature remind you of the light in this world. Note: This contains 5 mins visualization - 10 mins body scan meditation - 5 mins end talk.

We all carry the limiting story of 2020 within our bodies, and unless we reframe and re-story this narrative into one of nourishment, tenderness and evolution, we risk taking it with us into the new year. This guided meditation uses the pain this year may have caused you, and transforms it through the power of presence, body and breath (the trilogy). Before you start this meditation, you may wish to think of a difficult emotion or word that sums up your 2020 experience so we can work with it.

When we choose to be still and listen to the deeper needs of Heart, we are able to align the mind, body, and Spirit with deep restoration and healing. However, nourishment isn't easy. It sometimes requires the baring of our bones when all we want to do is curl up. This is a 10-minute introspective meditation that inspires you to choose devotional nourishment over short-term comfort, with a short, poetic talk either side. I hope you find this gentle, supportive & empowering.

This is a poetic practice about locating, healing & transforming emotional pain. We start with 10 minutes of talking about where the pain is located & how to channel it into creative energy - & then there's a 12-minute, guided visualization that focusses on cleansing pain from the emotional body. We end with a few introspective questions about who we would be without our pain. This meditation is set with different music expressions to create an experience for the listener & I hope it serves you.

When we feel at our most lost in life, it is often because we are walking someone else's path and not the wild-hearted pioneers of our own journey. This is an experiential meditation (a sensing, feeling & emotional journey into wakeful presence) that takes you on a journey into the wilderness that is our life, and on the way you will re-remember the tools you already have to navigate your own life; intuition (sextant), heart (fire-lighter) and courage (blade). Thank you for listening, Sez.

Today, we will remind ourselves of the doorway we all have within that leads us to the often mysterious awakening of self-love. Opening our hearts towards ourselves allows us to seek less acceptance & validation from others- and turn that energy into nurturing ourselves into a state of expansive awareness. This is a guided imagery meditation for those like myself, who find self-love a heavy word in a foreign language. I hope it opens, heals & serves you in some way today. With Gratitude, Sez.

This is a restorative New Year's practice for those who feel like 2020 needs a little more nurturing. Rather than continuing the pursuit of reinventing ourselves - to 'improve' ourselves from a place of lacking - let's come together to remember the incredible power we already have to heal, love, nourish, and to be kind and joyful. This provides a wholesome and high-vibration start to the year ahead, so that we may continue to inspire each other.

Today we will remind ourselves of the unconditional self-acceptance we have within, that connects us to a profound sense of belonging in the world.
If we all looked inward for our sense of acceptance, for even just a moment, we would all suddenly wash the world over with a colossal tide of belonging – no longer separated by what can only bee seen from the outside, but united by the belonging we feel for each other.
Do not seek any longer for your belonging out there, but create from within –and invite others into that space.
