Inviting a work-in to your workout highlights YOU as a whole-person.  Yes, you have a physical body and yes, you have an emotional body too (among others)!  Working-out and working-in have something obvious in common…work!  Sometimes this work involves taking a look at trauma and that’s a BIG ask.  

This week Barbe & Shannon bring awareness to trauma and its relationship with emotions. How can eMOOV be of support to those of us touched by trauma? Listen-in and notice what supports you best.

There you stand, supported by the bridge of eMOOV.  Here you have a better view of the space in between your desires and capacity.  A great place to check-in on yourself! Now you can see the whole picture. What’s there?  

eMOOVing back and forth between capacity and desire takes emotional endurance. Exploring the terrain below and climbing back up to the bridge requires emotional strength. If you’ve been adding  work-ins to your work-outs with us the last 17 episodes, your emotional fitness level is right where you need it to be.  

Join Barbe & Shannon this week as they share examples of their own every-day-life-emotional-fitness-work-ins! Listen in and notice how eMOOV creates a bridge, a light (complete with dimmer) and a lens. What will you create from this ultimate check-in practice?

eMOOV Agent Susana sparks a conversation from the heart this week.

When you feel emotionally off-balance, what’s the first thing you do? Raise your hand if you tend to reach for something outside of yourself.  Our hands are up too.

Reaching out – reaching in – are these opposing forces? Reaching out – reaching in are these complimentary forces? Reaching out – reaching in – are these interconnected forces?

What if it’s less about what we reach for and more about just noticing the difference?

Happiness vs Joy. Trapped vs Held. What’s The Difference? Does It Even Matter?

eMOOV Agent (or eMOOVeteer) Andra demonstrates an elite level of emotional fitness in this episode inspiring a meaningful conversation you don’t want to miss!

What if awareness is the lens by which we can more clearly see the differences between clinging and savoring; happiness and joy; trapped and held? What if by making space for all of it, the truth of who you are wakes up and balance prevails?

Emotional fitness, much like physical fitness is a personal journey. And yet there is much to gain from a collective experience on both fronts. Shared experiences certainly change the dynamic. Across the globe the collective experience for many at this time is one of continued uncertainty, confusion and division. It’s enough to make the wheels come off the bus!   In times like these, we are often encouraged to focus on our “why” to get clarity. Sometimes that sure comes in handy. In light of all the mind-traffic though, how about instead we start with our “what?”   Barbe & Shannon pause from their regularly scheduled program to invite YOU to do the same thing. What would happen if you decided to step out of the hustle - out of the noise - even out of the “why” and into the what?    Come see what’s inside!!   IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT ARE IN AN IMMEDIATE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS CALL 911 OR THE NATIONAL USA SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE AT 1-800-273-8255

What else does the world need more of?

Early in life we are taught the basics of caring for our bodies.  We do the every-day stuff like brushing our teeth and we even know how to treat a wound. Should you have an unexpected injury, you know what to do or where to go for help. Taking care of the rest-of-you…your whole-self is just as important!

In this episode, eMOOV Agent Jesse illuminates the energetic river of life. She reminds us that it takes unexpected turns. If you too get pulled underwater by a “story you tell yourself” in the face of these turns,  join this conversation.  Notice if taking the time for a work-in helps you catch your breath and make some peace with the river.  See what is here for YOU.

Physical exercise can take energy FROM us and GIVE us energy!  Isn’t it interesting how people can do that too?

The nature of YOU and your life is an energy in itself.  The dynamics of daily experiences and the people we interact with influence that energy.  This week, fellow eMOOV Agent Susana exercises the power of awareness as it relates to this exchange. What happens when we consume the energy of another? What happens when that energy takes a toxic form within? Take a listen while Susana schools us on how to use the eMOOV practice to be withsomething she would rather be instantly rid of! See what happens when she bypasses the easy road.
