Listen "4. Guest Speaker Lydia McClain: The Power of Choice, Devotion to Love and Her Path of Liberation"
Episode Synopsis
In episode 4, I speak with guest Lydia McClain on the power of choice, devotion to love, the impact breathwork has had on her life and her story of Liberation.
Lydia is a Somatic Breathwork Facilitator & a Trauma Resolution Guide. She is a mentor and a teacher. She is an integral woman, a devotee of love, a wise sage and a powerful space holder.
Lydia follows the path of the heart, the path of liberation. She is in service to following the path and honoring the calling of her soul. This is her vision for others too. She is in service to freedom and liberation. Of coming back home to your heart. Remembering you are already whole and you have everything you need already within you, to heal and rise into the leader you are meant to be. She refers to herself as a Liberatrix.
Lydia has been my mentor for almost 4 years and I am so excited for you to listen to this episode of The Breath of Liberation.
In this episode she shares about her path of healing, trauma resolution and how the phrase “I am not the stories I’m telling myself” really supported her.
She shares about how she found breathwork and the life changing impact it has had on her life. She speaks on root level healing for resolve. How Somatic practices and Somatic experiencing helped her learn the language of the body. How important it is to feel our feelings and how she gained emotional intelligence. How she developed inner safety and how that has had a ripple effect on her life. How her relationship with breathwork has evolved and that partnering with your breath is partnering with life.
Lydia speaks on choice and self agency. Asking herself and her clients, what is the next most doable choice. How these micro changes add up and the impact they can have on our lives.
She shares about the importance of integration and resourcing ourselves when doing these transformational practices. How integration helps us digest our experiences. That integration in our life is the ceremony. It helps us to stabilize and deepen the experience. So that we can process it in a way that allows us to have continual growth over time.
Lydia shares about her recent divorce and how love has guided her. That surrender has been a powerful teacher and learning to submit and see “God as her Dom” has helped her make love with life. She experiences life with the knowledge that we are the vessel , life is the muse and to allow spirit to create through us. Really partnering with spirit and how that has deepened her soul led life. Living with devotion to love. Asking what would love do has been the guiding force of her life.
We discuss community and how supportive community can be on this healing journey.
She shares about resourcing via the plant world. Her relationship with Rose as an integrative ally for her medicine journeys. How rose has supported her on a feminine reset and coming into right relationship with love. Rose has helped her to romanticize life and shown her that her body is her home no matter where she goes.
We dive into relationships, talking about masculine and feminine energetics and devoting ourselves to partnership. Coming into right relationship with the masculine and feminine and experiencing sacred union.
