Episode 344: Whole Body Healing with Emily A. Francis

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When I met this week’s guest, I knew I needed to have her on the show, just based on her enthusiasm alone. Emily Francis is the host of the radio show</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">All About Healing</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and author of the new book,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whole Body Healing: Create Your Own Path to Physical, Emotional, Energetic, and Spiritual Wellness</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. One of the reasons I’m pumped to introduce you to her is because I’ve never had a guest on the show who does the kind of work that Emily does. </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Today we discuss how body memory leads us to carry pain, releasing your body of emotions, and leaning into joy and gratitude. I learned so much from our time together and I hope you do too! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, you’ll hear:</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">About muscle memory and why we carry pain where we do. Muscle memory is very much like mental memory. Our bodies remember. (11:01)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some ways the body communicates its emotions - aka the body’s somatic languages. (22:00)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The importance of working with the body for the release of emotions, like grief or anxiety. (29:00)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How we can use tissue memory for healing. (31:00)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Listening to your own body - aka the body scan.
