Breathwork, social justice, and healing the system with Shanila Sattar

<p>Alternative healing modalities often get a bad rap. They’re seen as outside the mainstream, maybe mystical or metaphysical, and having no bearing in science. But there’s a ton of recent research that backs up what people have long felt or experienced energetically. So for this conversation that explores the current state of alternative healing modalities, sound healer Shanila Sattar joins The Conscious Leadership Podcast to drop some knowledge on the integration of science and energetics in healing.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>In this discussion, Shanila and Gabby get into the effects of sound healing and other modalities of holistic healing, the ways that they see spiritual bypassing happening among healers today, and the need for integrating energy work with cognitive processing during a healing journey. Shanila also shares some fascinating science behind breathwork, neuron research, and the energetic centers of the body, along with her unexpected journey from the world of tech that lead her to become a teacher and healer.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>When on a healing journey, we often want to know the “steps” to take to heal. But that’s just not the human experience. Often, we have to explore multiple methods and modalities in order to create our own individual set of tools. With more and more healers opening up to alternative modalities, these unique experiences expand what’s possible for anyone in need of healing.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>[1:32] Introduction to Shanila Sattar, fourth-generation sound healer and founder of AlwaysPlay Studios</p> <p>[2:40] Shanila shares her story and her unintentional journey into healing work</p> <p>[9:40] The effects of sound to our minds and bodies, physically and energetically</p> <p>[15:58] Bringing holistic healing into clinical populations</p> <p>[19:21] Bypassing in therapy and the healing modalities, and the energetics of being in practice of what you teaching&nbsp;</p> <p>[25:16] What lead Shanila to teach breathwork specifically, and mentorship for healers &nbsp;</p>
