509: How the Body Stores Trauma, Stress, and Emotional Blocks | Harmony Slater

In this episode, I'm joined by Harmony Slater for a soulful conversation about the body, the breath, energetic healing, and the hidden patterns that can keep us out of alignment with who we really are. We talk about how the body holds emotional experiences, why so many of us feel disconnected from ourselves, and how healing happens when we slow down enough to listen to what our body has been trying to tell us all along. Harmony shares her personal journey through yoga, mysticism, energy work, and healing from autoimmune symptoms and chronic fatigue. We also explore the mind-body connection, the role of the nervous system, and how unconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and old wounds can shape the way we show up in our lives. This is a grounded and expansive conversation about coming back into wholeness through breath, awareness, and deep inner healing. In this episode, you'll learn:  Harmony's journey from religious studies and philosophy into yoga, meditation, and energy work What Ashtanga yoga is and how it shaped her path How spinal energetics works and why it can be such a powerful healing modality How emotional pain, trauma, and unconscious beliefs can build up in the body over time How old experiences can create hidden patterns that still affect us today The connection between the body, the unconscious mind, and emotional healing Simple ways to use breath and nature to feel more grounded and supported each day Why spiritual practice can become another form of control if we are not aware of what is really driving it Harmony Slater is a masterful teacher, breathwork guide, spiritual mentor, and one of only a handful of certified Ashtanga yoga teachers worldwide. Her work weaves together ancient wisdom, energetic healing, nervous system support, and modern transformation to help people reconnect with themselves and live in greater alignment.
