Ep. 25 - Embrace your Humanity with Emily Blackwell

Aryn Evans Episode 25

Emily Blackwell joins Aryn for a heartfelt conversation about the power of being ourselves--so fully--in all of our humanity...embracing the full range of emotion--the good, the bad, and the ugly.  

What would it feel like to truly express the fullest, truest version of yourself?   Or more importantly, how much harm are we causing ourselves when we deny and stuff down our true feelings?   

When we authentically express ourselves, and welcome in our shadow, our hurt, our anger-- we can more fully accept others, and live more authentically.  We covered:

  • What life looked like before Emily found yoga 
  • The modern phenomenon of email apnea
  • Pleasure and pain as portals 
  • Breath awareness and our nervous system
  • Why we love a big SIGH
  • Unlearning the habit of silencing ourselves
  • The cathartic power of sound and movement 
  • Tantric wisdom, and how our divinity lies in our humanity
  • "Sacred Rage" and letting it all out


To help us integrate this conversation (at 35:00) Emily guides us in a beautiful visualization meditation to close our conversation.
