Manage episode 415798703 series 3531379
In this episode of Inspire Your Essence, host Michelle Henderson interviews Laura Giles, a trauma worker and advocate for the transformative power of embracing our shadows. Laura discusses her practice of animism, which is a reverence for all things and the belief that everything is connected, alive, and sacred. She explains how her upbringing in an animist culture shaped her belief system and her work in trauma healing. Laura emphasizes the importance of diving into the dark and painful past in order to unlock our true selves and lead vibrant and healthy lives. She also discusses the concept of shadow work, which involves exploring the parts of ourselves that we are blind to or ashamed of. Laura shares that her approach to healing involves tapping into the body's wisdom and using symbols and metaphors to communicate with the unconscious. She encourages everyone to engage in shadow work and discover the endless layers of themselves. The episode concludes with a discussion about Laura's podcast, "It's Not You, It's Me," which aims to help people understand and navigate their own inner worlds.
