Description
Today Jonny digs deeper into the concept of embodiment proposed and practised by Rachael Hall, an elite ballet dancer who left the stage to explore Buddhism, Pilates and the Franklin method. Rachel guests on the main episode this Thursday. This episode though is all about balance and the power of releasing ourselves from the mind and rooting back in the body. Jonny investigates the impending conflict to come from letting the mind lead us when going after our goals. As well as this, Jonny draws on his own experiences in rugby and the importance of vulnerability and intuition in personal growth and fulfillment exploring the immensity of the heart and its role along the way.Big topics explored today:- The importance of embodiment and being present in the moment, especially in achieving goals.- The balance between mind and body, and the dangers of leaning too much towards thinking and reasoning.- The tendency to prioritise safety and comfort over vulnerability and intuition, and the need to welcome and explore fear and doubt.- The conflict between the head and the heart when seeking fulfilment, the importance of being authentic and true to oneself and how we might shift in this direction of beauty and grace.Keep up with Rachael:Instagram: @rachaelhall.alignedWebsite: www.aligned.rachhall.comRachael has created 2 free embodied workouts for the I Am listeners which you can check out here: https://www.aligned.rachhall.com/pages/2freeworkoutsJonny would love to hear from you!

I Am... Rangan Chatterjee: In this week's episode Jonny chats to Rangan Chatterjee, a man who's approach to life is based on integrity, compassion and curiosity. These values can be seen across all of Rangan's work, as a podcaster, best selling author and practicing doctor. This conversation centres around compassion and regaining the ability in our lives to simply 'be'. Jonny and Rangan go into depth on a range of topics including re-defining the metrics of contemporary health, training in healthcare, and investigating our reliance upon labels for understanding who we are. Jonny and Rangan also discuss the benefits of becoming more interested in our ‘being’ than in our ‘doing’ - and how being more consciously aware of how we are feeling has the potential unlock so much pleasure and joy.
