Episode Synopsis

In Episode 2, I talked about what happens when you know what to do for your health but you just can’t make yourself do it. Today, I’m expanding on that conversation, because the truth is: you can’t heal if your body doesn’t feel safe.And safety isn’t another protocol, supplement stack, or shiny new planner. It’s not productivity, micromanaging, or setting boundaries you can’t actually hold. Those things might create the illusion of control, but they won’t create safety.In this episode, I’m sharing what safety really is, why so many of us never learned how to feel it, and the simple, daily practices that help your body finally exhale and receive healing.🎧In this episode, you’ll learn:Why you can’t “think” your way into safety (and why productivity won’t heal you)How hypervigilance from childhood shows up as overdoing, overgiving, and never restingWhat actually creates the conditions for your body to trust you againThe four pillars of safety practices: repetition, release, stillness, recognitionMy personal experience with Kundalini yoga and how it transformed my healingHow to start small—so safety becomes sustainable, not another overwhelming task⏱️Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to The Real Remedy00:22 Revisiting Episode Two: The Importance of Feeling Safe01:51 Understanding True Safety04:43 Common Misconceptions About Safety07:09 Hypervigilance and Its Impact10:54 Creating Safety Through Repetition and Stillness11:40 The Power of Kundalini Yoga16:51 Practical Steps to Start Your Journey19:39 Final Thoughts and Encouragement21:09 Conclusion and Ways to Connect🔗 Connect with Elizabeth:Website: https://elizabeth-oneill.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabetho.neillExplore The Real Remedy: Learn more here » https://elizabeth-oneill-wellness.thrivecart.com/realremedy/Work with Elizabeth HERE » https://elizabeth-o-neill-wellness-1.showit.site/ig-links?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaf7LsdBx6LfIgSBVnlh9zWZKa80lcLNU1LP6eV05gFhGbOo67w7SNBk5n-AyQ_aem__ExOLY3xoq99oBd03yZ3PQGet the Low Tox Lifestyle eBook here » https://elizabeth-oneill.com/low-tox-lifestyle🔗From This Episode:Listen to episode 002: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/002-why-you-know-what-you-need-to-do-but-arent-doing-it/id1831109345?i=1000721783485💌 Want more like this?Subscribe to The Real Remedy Podcast and leave a review if this resonated with you.
