Embodied with Elizabeth DiAlto

Telling the truth is the ultimate act of love, even when it hurts or is unpleasant. Fear and discomfort often hold us back from fully embracing truths. Truth telling requires courage. Today, we dive into the nuances of accessing and embracing your truth. I also share some truth of my own that I recently came to terms with, which while uncomfortable, is a relief to acknowledge and share with this community. Throughout the episode, we explore the tools and practices to help you access your truth. We also unpack the risks of speaking your truth, such as personal and societal repercussions, and how to navigate this while staying honest with yourself. We discuss how to embrace the evolution of truth and give compassion and grace to those who share their truth with you. In episode 458 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (1:58) How to tune into the body's sensations and emotions to access your truth (5:52) The truth that I'm currently living and navigating (17:00) Embracing the seasons and cycles of truth (26:13) Engaging with your complex truth true real honesty (28:55) Finding a balance between believing in your truth, social pressures, and personal choices (33:59) Why you have to welcome in an evolving and shifting truth (38:45) Understanding truthfulness as an act of love, even if it is painful (43:19) The Truth Prayer Resources mentioned in the episode: Wild Soul Sunday Service Join Reweave Book a 1:1 Root Work Session Register for The Wild Womanhood Course Dark Healing: Order of Secret Priestesses Book 1 is now available on Amazon Kindle and in print Apply for The Cherish Retreat Support The School of Sacred Embodiment with a donation Gene Key 63 - Truth Prayers For Wild Souls: Volume 1 Wild Soul Liberation Workbook Free resources: AM + PM Embodiment Rituals Wild Soul Archetypes Quiz Stay in touch: Subscribe to my Substack Catch the full show notes for episode 458 here Email us with questions or feedback Don’t miss an episode of The Embodied Podcast

Today, we explore the beauty and pleasure of self respect and its role in cultivating personal growth, fulfillment, and healing within yourself and your relationships. We examine self respect through the lens of The Erotic Priestess archetype, who embodies respect, reverence, and divine communion, serving as a guide for integrating spirituality, sensuality, and sexuality into your holistic human experience. We discuss how self respect is related to self awareness, self knowledge, self acceptance, and trust – the pillars of the Embodied Self Love Framework. We also dive into the meaning of the word erotic, which comes from the Greek word eros, and discuss the transformative power of love in its purest form. Plus, we take a look at Audre Lorde's essay "Uses of the Erotic," which exemplifies the significance of the erotic as a source of great power.

We also explore the role of The Sacred Creatress archetype in motivating you to embrace your creative potential and surrender to the flow of inspiration.

In the School of Sacred Embodiment, we believe that the gift of grace is not only something we can muster but also, in its highest form, a divine force. Today, we explore grace as an unstoppable channel that, once accepted, will come through with every opportunity it can to provide closure, release, and healing wherever needed. Throughout the episode, you will hear personal anecdotes and beautiful stories that demonstrate the active presence of grace in daily routines, from encountering Earth Angels to experiencing moments of profound healing. We also discuss various practices for cultivating grace, such as movement, being with nature, and embodying The Divine Mother archetype.

So often, boundaries are misunderstood as a negative form of control rather than a structure that invites self-awareness, establishes healthy relationships, and highlights our true passions. In today's episode, we dive into the significance of anger as a source of information that reveals our boundaries, needs, and the necessary steps in our healing journey. Plus, we explore The Warrior Goddess archetype and how it can help us alchemize our anger to fuel transformative action towards what truly needs to be defended or protected. By facing uncomfortable truths and taking action for the things we care about, we can learn from the wisdom of The Warrior Goddess and better ourselves in the process.

This week’s episode is an invitation to recognize and honor your unique medicines (which may reach beyond how you’ve thought about “medicine” before). As we explore the concept of “your medicine,” I’m encouraging you to ask yourself what it means and where it lives within you and offering The Medicine Woman archetype to help. I explain how this archetype embodies alchemy and provides guidance for navigating life's complexities while accessing your inner truths.

Throughout the episode, you are invited to contemplate these energies, with whatever language you use to describe them, as they transcend conventional gender associations and embrace the principles without limitations.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that the things we assume are fixed in our 50s and 60s may not be so, and there's always room for growth, healing, and transformation, no matter how old we are. Joining the conversation today is Dr. Cynthia McGrath, an author, WomanSpeak Coach, Sacred Embodiment Specialist, and NLP practitioner. She's 71 years young and still on her healing journey, inspiring women aged 50 and above to continue learning, growing, and expressing themselves on their terms.

It’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed when witnessing the atrocities currently unfolding in our world. It's also easy to give in to external pressures, like those on social media, and conform to expectations that encourage us to mistreat each other. In this episode, Elizabeth dives into performative activism, platform policing, and embracing the sacred power of curiosity. She also discusses how to respond to and approach these issues with humility and an open mind, much like that of a loving parent, so you can access genuine curiosity in line with your soul’s wisdom. Imagine how different the world would be if our capacity for reverence was larger than our capacity for despising things? What if we could approach those who hold different perspectives than us with an effort to understand instead of jumping to anger and judgment? In episode 448 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (3:52) Social media's role in activism during crises and our recommended voices to follow (6:42) Advice for attending to your personal energy and soul's wisdom when navigating social and political issues (9:01) The importance of curiosity to empathize with others' perspectives (12:31) Embracing the sacred power of curiosity by asking questions and doing self-reflections (18:23) Using curiosity, humility, and reverence as tools to bridge gaps in understanding Resources mentioned in the episode: Wild Soul Sunday Service Sacred Shift @jewishvoiceforpeace @thestoriedayrab @accordingtoweeze @fredtjoseph @nishamoodley A Brief for the Defense by Jack Gilbert Work with me: NEW!

Our healing conversations have been consistently beautiful, challenge our conditioned perspectives on healing, and invite us to embrace diverse and individualized paths. Today's chat with Kate Orlofsky is no different. Kate is an ecologist, dog musher, and wilderness enthusiast living in rural Alaska. Kate has participated in almost everything we offer at the School of Sacred Embodiment over the last few years and she shares how her anxiety has decreased, she’s been able to release her tendency to control, and now uses her voice to openly express her desires.

Our world is experiencing atrocious and unthinkable trauma, and overconsuming and sharing on social media can be incredibly overwhelming and unhelpful. Today, we discuss the importance of regulating ourselves in a variety of ways during times of crisis and what we can do as individuals to contribute to positive change. Shifting towards collectivism, trust, cooperation, and humility takes time and patience, as does any healing process. Throughout the episode, you’ll hear offerings for how to maintain as much emotional balance as possible during chaotic times, honor your capacity for contributions, and prioritize yourself as a means to reduce collective energetic upheaval.

Today I’m exploring the working definition of Spiritual Futurism specific to The School of Sacred Embodiment. At its core, this interpretation of Spiritual Futurism calls on us to re-evaluate our connection with the divine, freeing ourselves from outdated patriarchal and colonized influences and returning to our ancestral and indigenous roots. With this approach, we can revitalize ancient traditions to fit our modern needs. In this episode, I share how incorporating this concept into mystical leadership cultivates an open space to guide others with empathy and understanding rather than imposing rigid expectations. The result? Stronger, more compassionate communities that foster growth, an openness to reflection, and a willingness to refine. In episode 442 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (1:56) How contemporary spiritual leaders differ from ancient mystics and guides (7:53) Why energetic dependency influences communities and containers (12:46) The beauty of connecting in intimate and mixed community spaces (20:55) The School of Sacred Embodiment’s working definition of Spiritual Futurism (22:54) How Spiritual Futurism can bring mystics, healers and priestesses into the mainstream (25:51) The harm caused by leaders who interpret ancient materials without considering our modern world (30:00) Mystical leadership compared to traditional church structures and other forms of spirituality and coaching (35:38) The challenge of stepping into collectivism in a world full of individualism Resources mentioned in the episode: Episode 433: Wild Soul Liberation + Dream Team Chat Caroline Myss’ Website Nisha Moodley's Website Work with me: Apply for the CHERISH Retreat Oct 31 - Nov 6, 2024 in Southern Spain NEW!

Welcome to the final part of my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series. Today, we wrap up with lessons 31 to 40, exploring topics like patience, healing, and body love and reverence. I believe in being with life wherever it is at this moment, but also chipping away at things to get to the other side. Many of these lessons reflect how we can honor each of our individual paths while also using discernment and compassion to help us make choices toward continual (and collective) growth. I believe there are infinite amounts of resources existing within us, waiting to be remembered and reactivated. If any of the lessons in the series helped you at all, I’d love to hear from you! In episode 439 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (1:18) Lesson #31: One of the best uses of prayer - to pray for people to receive exactly what they need, not what we think they need. (4:39) Lesson #32: We have to face evil and negative energy and transmute them, or they will persist. (9:09) Lesson #33: Energy vampires have a way of draining your lifeforce, getting their fix, and not changing.

As I approach my 40th birthday next week, I’ve been reflecting on the experiences that shape the foundation of my value system and understanding of the world around me. In this episode, I delve into lessons 21 to 30 of my “40 Lessons in 40 Years” series, exploring topics like reciprocity, embodiment, and identity. When it comes to my relationships, health, career – honestly, everything in my life – I’m committed to trusting my embodied awareness. I’m all about meeting people where they are, but I’ve also realized that I need to be okay with where I am and let my inner-knowing guide the way. I hope this series sparks something in you to think about your innate wisdom and what lessons you’ve picked up along the way. If anything resonates with you (or doesn’t), I’d love to hear from you! In episode 439 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (1:28) Lesson #21: Reciprocity is great to integrate into your value system to just ensure that you're not constantly burning yourself out and over-giving. (4:20) Lesson #22: Be discerning about marketing versus information. (9:22) Lesson #23: Differentiate between healthcare and illness scare (h/t to Anita Moorjani) (10:25) Lesson #24: Be careful what you identify with and hold on to all your identities with a flexible grip. (12:42) Lesson #25: Practice less armchair diagnosing and more discernment around what kind of behavior, treatment, and communication works best for you. (13:50) Lesson #26: We do not need to understand things or how and why they happen in order to heal, grow, and learn from them. (14:39) Lesson #27: People let attachment to (and weird definitions of) morality interfere with good decision making. (15:06) Lesson #28: Here on Earth where love is extremely powerful and potent, but we also have free will with our truth, integrity, compassion, and forgiveness, love is just not enough sometimes. (15:35) Lesson #29: Expressive arts are so important because sometimes we need stories in order to feel and acknowledge what we’re actually going through. (17:50) Lesson #30: It’s really important to create levels in my work and be clear about who is meant for each offering.
