Ep. #131: How Cultural Conditioning & the Binary Have Shaped Us, Part 2
Episode description
In this Part 2 episode Robin and Chris continue their conversation with Stevie, who is Host of her own podcast, “Queer Story Time, The Podcast”. Stevie, a queer, trans femme yoga therapist, and gender & sexuality educator, together with Robin & Chris, discuss how cultural conditioning has shaped our lives and what's required of us to healing & liberate ourselves.
In this episode, you will learn…
- The importance of having a more solid understanding of who we are and being okay with it.
- That finding that thing that gives you that inner spark and deep level of connection to yourself is all a part of establishing a solidness to your being.
- How our coming out journey is one of ‘uncovering’, ‘discovering’ and ‘recovering’ our true nature, our highest selves.
- Yoga is the cessation of the movement of the mind; we use yoga to liberate ourselves from our suffering by finding space between our thoughts.
- Each of us can play a part in reducing my own suffering.
