Soul Embodiment: Breaking Free from Mind Over Matter with Leslie Ellis!
Thursday, 19 June, 2025
Send us a textHello beautiful souls! What if the key to spiritual growth isn't transcending your body, but fully inhabiting it? Soul embodiment coach and certified yoga therapist Leslie Ellis challenges the fundamental "myth of mind over matter" that pervades so much of spiritual practice today.For over 25 years, Leslie has guided seekers toward authentic connection with their bodies—not as something to overcome, but as the very vessel of spiritual wisdom. In this illuminating conversation, she reveals how our cultural obsession with controlling our thoughts often disconnects us from the wisdom of our physical experience.Leslie shares the fascinating neuroscience behind emotions—how each feeling naturally lasts only 90 seconds before our thought patterns re-stimulate it—and offers simple yet profound practices to break free from unhelpful mental loops. When we feel our feet on the ground, notice the weight of our body in a chair, or simply observe the sensations of washing dishes, we cultivate a presence that transforms our everyday experience.Particularly striking is Leslie's insight that meditation doesn't require sitting cross-legged in silence. It can happen while walking, with eyes open, or during daily activities. The true measure of spiritual practice isn't how well it conforms to an idealized image, but how effectively it helps you connect with your unique embodied wisdom.Whether you're frustrated with traditional meditation practices, caught in cycles of uncomfortable emotions, or simply seeking a more grounded approach to spiritual growth, this episode offers refreshingly practical guidance for bringing presence into every moment of your life. Listen now to discover how coming home to your body might be the spiritual practice you've been searching for all along.0:00 Welcome to Enlightened Elevate10:10 The Myth of Mind Over Matter17:01 Presence vs. Meditation Misconceptions22:24 The 90-Second Lifespan of Feelings28:30 Finding Your Unique Embodiment Practice34:11 Coming Home to Your BodyTo get in touch with Leslie Ellis:www.yogaheartsong.comhttps://www.facebook.com/leslie.ellis.359https://www.instagram.com/leslie_atheartsong
