Creating Light with Kelsey

Exciting news!! You know how last episode we dove deep into the importance of feeling anger and accepting what is?? Well... my world has completely shifted after I allowed myself to embody those two aspects again as this chapter of life was trying to come to a close. It's aways so funny to me how quickly things get to change when we remember the simplicity of feeling our feelings and being grateful for the present moment. I obviously still have my phases when I struggle with such things, especially if I'm in a particularly tough lesson that my human self is trying to rush through to just be...

43. Accepting what is & Allowing yourself to be Angry show art 43. Accepting what is & Allowing yourself to be Angry

Creating Light with Kelsey

On this episode, I share how anger and acceptance go hand in hand with healing. That once we allow ourselves to feel angry, we create space to embody acceptance about a situation; once we accept a situation without trying to control its natural cycle, we create space to allow anger to flow through. We cannot have one without the other. I share how I have been suppressing anger to the point that it has mirrored stagnation in my exterior world with the struggles I’ve been experiencing in finding a place to move. Life is a wild ride, and as we continue to allow ourselves to be with and feel it...

Creating Light with Kelsey

I experienced a whole ass breakthrough in the midst of recording this episode. I had been feeling lost and confused for a while, but did not quite understand the extent of it. I was doing my best to trust the process. Then a few weeks ago multiple healers that I had crossed paths with were telling me, "Remember who you are." That statement definitely triggered me! My immediate thought was, "Uhhh pretty sure I remember who tf I am..." But obviously, there were some things I needed to remember and it hit me right before I pressed record for this episode! Which I dive into the revelation. ...

Go subscribe to their podcast, And go follow them on instagram ! For this interview, we dive into getting out of the head and into the body through somatic movement while going into further detail of what Somatic Activated Healing is and how it can be used as a tool to help you embody soul liberation. This is a great episode to hear me talk about my work with such depth and in a different way. Because when you're interviewed more information gets pulled out!...

Creating Light with Kelsey

Whaddup, I'm back after a little bit of a break! Not going to lie, perfectionsim got the best of me there. The way I was editing each episode's audio and visual was taking up so much time with how I was recording because I was fairly particular over what I was saying. Now I have decided to show up, speak, and not edit, which gives me back SO MUCH TIME!  Since it's been a little over two months, I wanted to give you all an update of what has occurred in my life! I go over the topics of my healing container, therapist title re-entering my field, dating, making play a priority, and the...

39. Feeling liberated AFTER owning my suffering show art 39. Feeling liberated AFTER owning my suffering

Creating Light with Kelsey

Sounds like a cruel joke, right? That the way to get free is to own the thing that has us feeling imprisoned. I get it. In this episode, I discuss the first time I owned my suffering, accepted my darkness (vs just facing it), and as a result, each time I continue to feel my pain, feelings of liberation follow. That's the dance. Darkness and liberation leading the way on this earth game, but we DO have control of which one takes the lead... darkness or liberation. It is time for you to discover and allow liberation to lead. Ascend The Underworld Within (the 8-month healing container) is now...

38. Spiritual Awakenings & How They Keep Evolving show art 38. Spiritual Awakenings & How They Keep Evolving

Creating Light with Kelsey

Welcome to the inception episode of my spiritual awakenings!! This is a juicy one. In this episode, I reflect on a previous episode I released back in 2021 that discussed my first ever spiritual awakening that happened back in 2018. So, this is JAM PACKED with past versions of self, differing persepctives, and evidence of evolution. Spiritual awakenings are powerful shifts in our existence that shake up our healing journeys. When we decide to surrender to the transformation our soul is asking of us, we open ourselves up to miracles. I was feeling a lot of gratitude and my heart expanding for...

37. Self-Development vs Healing Journey show art 37. Self-Development vs Healing Journey

Creating Light with Kelsey

In this episode, I discuss what the difference is between Self-Development and the Healing Journey, why it's important to incorporate both, and how to be minful of when we start to use self-development practices as a means of distraction. I share the importance of establishing a baseline before diving into the depths of the healing journey. From my experience, I reveal how I spiraled into maladaptive coping mechanisms for nearly a year as a result of facing my darkness for the first time because my body and psyche did not have the capacity to manage that level of facing myself. Progression is...

Creating Light with Kelsey

What a journey i have been experiencing in finding my footing as a podcast host. It's such an odd phenomenon knowing that I'm meant to show up on this platform, experiencing resistance, yet figuring out a way to show up anyway. This process has been teaching me presence at a new layer and an appreciation for enjoying the journey. I truly feel grateful for this present moment and I am grateful for you all that are witnessing the process :) Get access to my virtual FREE Somatic Activated Healing classes!!

35. Being the Victor instead of the Victim show art 35. Being the Victor instead of the Victim

Creating Light with Kelsey

I did not plan on publicly talking about my week, but the message behind the swirly events that unfolded were too potent to not share. I experienced multiple shocks to my nervous system and it's because of my somatic practice that I had the capacity to exist in the multitude of it all, remain present, and not slip into victim mentality or the freeze response. This felt like a pivotal moment for the internal feelings of abandonment that I can experience because it would have been real easy to play the victim card and wallow vs feeling through it and choosing to be the victor of the swirly...
