Today we look at creating safe containment to be in direct relationship with our emotions. We’re looking specifically at anger, the compartmentalizing we do in childhood to keep ourselves safe, and how that cuts us off from our life’s energy and flow. We explore other options and ways of creating space for the “wild horses” within us.

When Frank and Jess look to understand Frank’s personal growth trajectory, they return to Frank’s brain tumor experience. Jess brings in three yogic concepts, including tapas. Not easily translated from Sanskrit, tapas is often translated as fiery zeal, austerity, or intense discipline. With this inspiration, they look at the effect of Frank’s two and half year long near-death experience on his personal spiritual clarity. The three yogic concepts mentioned in this podcast are from the beginning of the second book of Patanjali’s sutras. Here’s a little bit more about them...2022-09-2535 minFeel This with Frank and Jess#27 Part 1 Internalizing Love for OurselvesThis episode is released in two parts.

It’s an empathetic, almost telepathic communication.

How do we get back in?” But before we find our way back Jess goes way waaay out, giving us an opportunity to look into the generative nature of groundlessness and the myth of dissociation as it relates to capitalism and productivity.
