Ever feel your life is too loud to hear yourself think? We dive into a grounded path back to center using somatic awareness, mindfulness, shamanic journeying, and tantra-informed movement. Christine Rene and Chantel Ochoa unpack how external inputs—news feeds, cluttered rooms, and other people’s needs—can hijack our nervous systems, then walk through practical ways to reclaim agency and come home to the body.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🌕 Returning to the self as a practical path

🌖 Reducing external inputs and reclaiming agency

🌗 Somatic curiosity: color, shape, movement of tension

🌘 Full guided drop-in and mini heart practice

🌑 Movement, breathwork, and tantra-informed tools

🌒 Archetypes for patterns, boundaries, and balance

🌓 Shamanic release, cord cutting, and soul retrieval

You’ll be guided through two practices you can repeat anytime: a fuller somatic drop-in that helps you identify where tension lives, what it looks like, and how it wants to move; and a fast “mind-to-heart” reset that quiets analysis so a wiser answer can surface. We talk about the witch’s wound and the courage to feel safe sharing spiritual gifts, why dance and breath unstick old emotions, and how small, consistent rituals build trust with yourself. If you’ve ever asked why the same patterns keep returning, we explore a powerful metaphor: setting down the backpack of the past. Through shamanic tools like symbolic release and soul retrieval, those cords thin with practice, and the body becomes your early warning system when you try to pick the weight back up.

We also show how archetypes and soul contracts illuminate patterns in relationships and leadership, improving boundaries and communication. From sunrise prayers to altar time, from quantum light breath to gentle stretching, this conversation invites you to design rituals that match your life so you can move from constriction to expansion. For deeper study and community, we share details on Soul Rising, Archetypes and Soul Contracts, Intro to Tantra with Jim McDonald, Facilitator Training for ceremonial space, and our weekly Mystic Moon Collective.

If this conversation helps you breathe easier, share it with a friend who needs a reset, subscribe so you don’t miss new episodes, and leave a review with your favorite practice you’ll try this week.
