My recent Ayahuasca ceremonies prompted me to think and write more deeply about sexuality. Here is the result. More to come.
Questions for reflection:
What would your life look like if you were sexually free?
What do you most desire?
What does satisfaction mean to you?
What enlivens your body?
What are you creating? What do you want to create?
What do you long for?
What does it look like for you to let go into the orgasmic nature of life?

Have you every wanted to hear how therapists talk behind the scenes? In this conversation two therapists talk about attachment styles, burn out, how much we care about our clients and so much more.
Alison is a dear colleague, friend and former client and she brings her unique medicine to this conversation - she has a way of articulating inner work that is sensitive, nuanced and at the same time crystal clear.
Alison James Bio:
I hold a BAH from Queen’s University and an MA from Dalhousie University, completing the bulk of my training in psychotherapy at The Toronto Institute of Relational Psychotherapy, the Gestalt Institute of Toronto, and the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute.
In addition, I have received advanced instruction in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Structural Dissociation Theory and Parts Work, Polyvagal-Informed Nervous System Regulation, Mindfulness and Embodiment, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Relational Somatic Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I also regularly participate in short courses and workshops across a wide variety of topics.

Often we have one area - a trigger, a relationship, money, purpose - and we put a lot of energy into figuring it out and fixing it. In this episode I outline how moment to moment tracking with another person (trained practitioners are great for this) allows you to titrate your nervous system experience and change the pattern in real time. The solution to all problems lies in our connection to ourselves - our bodies, emotions, minds and spirits - what it is to be us.
Medicine work supports and amplifies these moment by moment changes.
Until September 15th the Expand community is available in a six month version to give you the opportunity to really step in, be seen, and shift in profound ways that create lasting change in your life - in how you feel on a daily basis. Email me for more information at [email protected].

John Cole, a human design guide, joins Alison to discuss their personal experiences with Human Design, highlighting its ability to unveil our own individual uniqueness, the interplay between nature and nurture, the significance of initiations and transitions, and the transformative process of deconditioning in aligning with one's true self.
“There's a transformative process going on as a society, and it's leading to a world where, I think, there will be lot more individual emphasis, meaning that there we're not going to rely on organizations, institutions, experts and other people outside of ourselves to save us, to support us in taking care of our lives. We’re going to have to use a lot more of our energy for ourselves, and there will be new forms of spirituality as part of that.”
CONNECT WITH JOHN
John Cole is a 2/4 Ego Projector on the Cross of the Unexpected. He began his experiment in 2015 when a fellow astrologer invited him to look into Human Design. After decades of working with various astrological systems, he found that the Human Design System offered a very unique framework for understanding our uniqueness through mechanics and our place in the Maia. John is an IHDS certified analyst and teacher with a busy private practice working 1-on-1 with clients offering Foundation Readings, Cycle & Transit analysis, Partnership/relationship analysis, coaching, integration, and more. He is a father to two teenagers and currently runs the Human Design Collective along with Amy Lee where they teach the Foundation Courses and offer other workshops in Human Design and host the Human Design Collective podcast.

“That’s not how to do it.”
This is a recurring theme in our society. We absorb these ideas about “right” and “wrong” and how things should be from childhood through adulthood.
The mind can still hold onto these narratives even when we’ve unraveled them again and again. This is why we have four other aspects of our self — physical, emotional, spiritual and sexual — that we can tap into to support our mind in evolving, even when it’s wound so tightly.
“The way that we construct our lives is a reflection of the deepest assumptions we have made about the world and about who we are. As we unpack those and experience new truths, new questions and new possibilities in our body, we can feel safe at a whole new level.

When Tamara began working with Alison, she had tight expectations for herself.
She raveled herself in how things are, how they should be, and the roles she held, like mom and professional.
Her experience opened her perspective and possibilities to life and how it can be different than the way she was living. That gave her permission to put down some of the judgments and expectations she held and cultivated deeper empathy for herself and others.
“All of these experiences, all of these different things that I'm doing, they are just different ways to practice life. To notice what's holding you back from really, really expressing yourself and really living it out fully.”

True freedom comes from letting go of grasping and opening our hearts.
But those two things can be so challenging for us to embody in our modern world.
Alison and guest, Stephen Cope, best-selling author and scholar, delve into the relationship between the Eastern contemplative traditions and Western depth psychology and how connecting the two can support you in navigating the modern world.
Stephen shares the experiences and insights that he’s gained studying these ideas that have shaped his books, including his most recent, “The Dharma in Difficult Times: Finding Your Calling in Times of Loss, Change, Struggle, and Doubt,” and offers a guide for how to connect with your own wisdom, cultivate compassion and open-heartedness, and connect with your inner gifts to contribute to positive change in the world.
“There are two forms of grasping in the Buddhist tradition. There's reaching, “oh, I want that. I've got to get that goal. I've got to get over there on the other side of the river.” And then protecting what you have.
The real freedom comes in letting go of that grasping, clinging, craving, holding on, and protecting and opening our hearts instead.”
CONNECT WITH STEPHEN
Stephen Cope is a best-selling author and scholar who specializes in the relationship between the Eastern contemplative traditions and Western depth psychology. Among his seminal works in this area are: Yoga and the Quest for the True Self, The Wisdom of Yoga, and The Great Work of Your Life. His most recent work, The Dharma In Difficult Times, the sequel to The Great Work of Your Life shows us the way through our darkest times to our truest calling. Cope helps give readers a roadmap for the journey to their true calling.
For almost thirty years, Stephen has been Scholar-in-Residence at the renowned Kripalu Center—the largest center for the study and practice of yoga in the Western world. Kripalu hosts almost 50,000 guests a year in its many yoga, meditation, and personal growth programs. It is located on a sprawling 200 acre estate in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

Surrender is a daily devotion.
It unlocks our energy and creates a ripple effect of a positive change in ourselves.
But surrender can be one of the most challenging things we can do because it requires that we face our pain.
In this episode, Alison shares her recent work with a local medicine man in a ceremony to show how we have to build our capacity to surrender, and how often times, it’s by looking directly at our pain that we’re able to transform.
“We need to feel what we could not feel at the time. That is why we're in the situation we're in — we're not connected to our life force energy. It’s because of our situations and our experiences that our life force gets stuck and we're not able to flow.”—

Society ravels us all so tightly.
We’re raveled in the “shoulds” and what’s “right.” We are raveled in the judgments of others, the definition of success, and the expectations others put on us.
This raveling puts us into patterns that keep us stuck — out of alignment with our life force energy.
To allow life to flow, we must unravel.
“Often our intentions are about business, money, health, life, love. They're raveled intentions, but the answer and satisfaction are in the unraveling.”—

We live in such a “fix me” culture, often looking outside ourselves for the answers — or offering our answers to our friends and family members when they’re experiencing pain.
But to truly support our own healing and the healing of others, we have to surrender to these painful moments and move through the process in our own time in our own way.
Here, Alison shares the complexities of practicing surrender as a way to empower others and yourself and the importance of having support and healing containers that allow you to look inward and move through your own process.
“Surrender empowers other people. It's a way of loving people…It's an inner sense that it’s okay for other people to experience pain in their own timing and that my only job is to be present, whether they're a friend or a client, to what they are experiencing.”

What's the difference between submission and surrender?
Both of these terms hold the essence of letting go, but there’s a fine line between the two of them.
Surrender can be an embodied state that supports our ability to create our desires and experience life as it is, while submission can be where we fall into the false idea that “it is what it is.”
In this episode, Alison shares the nuances between these two energies to support you in spotting where you might be surrendering versus where you might be submitting so you can realign toward surrender.
“This is a very natural human longing to surrender to life — to stop trying to take care of what clearly cannot be taken care of. And then there's submission — the following of the rules, the doing what we feel we should do, the “I don't see any other alternatives, so I'll just do this,” and it's a very, very, very fine line.”

Alison delves into the painful experience of betrayal in love and how we can step into our own healing and move past the betrayal.
Drawing from her own experience, she explores the shame, anger, and upset that arises when our beliefs about love and trust are shattered, and how it feels like everything we thought was true has been taken away.
She offers perspectives for how we can navigate and accept betrayal without attaching it to our self-worth or harboring resentment toward the person who betrayed us.
“There is no shame in trusting. There is no shame in opening our hearts. Every single one of us is negotiating how much of ourselves to open and how much to give away. If it turns out that it's not reciprocated, that is not a failure on us. But it is certainly something to learn from.”

In April, Alison created an experimental offering in which she invited a few of her existing clients to participate in, called Elevate. During this experience, Alison facilitated the group through Toad medicine work, which is a psychedelic, paired with intense breathwork.
Two of the participants, Alyssa and Francesca, share their experience working with the medicine and the container. They share the transformation they’ve received that’s still very much unfolding for them, including relieving anxiety, experiencing a deep flow in their lives, and the development of their spirituality.
They also share incredibly valuable insights around integration and for the importance of working with an aligned facilitator when working with Earth Medicine.
Both Alyssa and Francesca participated in Alison’s Expand and Empower programs prior to this experience, and they discuss the importance of the healing work they did in those containers prior to this experience.
“My soul literally came out of my body and stretched and I was grounded and connected from above. When I was put back together again, my brain was out. It was like by the fire out of my body. For me, that's a really important conscious reminder to think less and do with intuition, do with a level of presence and consciousness without thinking.
The less I think, the more productive I am in my life, in my business. So that's the state I'm always seeking to be in.”
CONNECT WITH FRANCESCA
Francesca is a Mindset, Spiritual and Human Design Alignment Coach
She's experienced the intense ups and downs of life and is on a mission to help women reframe their reality, rise above current circumstances and transform their lives. She is the creator of the Rise Collective, a mindset membership that helps women unleash the potential of each day with intentional living and connection with other humans.

Julie McIntyre, author and Earth Ceremonialist, shares how by developing a personal relationship with our bodies and trusting their wisdom, we can navigate life with more authenticity — which she describes as a wildness that embraces the sacredness of all life forms.
Julie takes us on a personal journey, at the age of 10 when she discovered a magical place in a corner of her family’s farm where a massive old cottonwood tree stood. This became her refuge, a space to escape the chaos and connect with something beyond herself. She experienced an energy exchange with the tree, a profound connection that has stayed with her throughout her life.
This pivotal moment set her on a path of following something non-human, something from the natural world, to nurture the health of her soul.
Join us as Julie shares her wisdom on the power of heart-centered living, intimate self-connection, and the interconnectedness of humans, soul, and plants.
“You start by feeling. It's not a mental thing. It's really a feeling thing. Trusting your senses, trusting your body, trusting the feelings that are coming. Our bodies don't lie. They're very sophisticated sensory GPS systems. Life is less lonely when you have this relationship of trust with yourself, trust with your body, and trust in the earth.”
