TRANSCRIPT
Tanya: hello and welcome to another episode of the momentum podcast. The show dedicated to inspiring, uplifting, and empowering women on their journey through motherhood. I'm your host, Tanya Valentine, and I'm so glad you're here.
4
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:57.330
Tanya: I've got a special episode for you today. I am interviewing Ashley Carver, who is a practitioner of spiritual semantic embodiment, healing, and as a guide and architect of soulful, safe, and sacred healing sessions.
5
00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:02.680
Tanya: Ashley invites individuals and couples to rediscover their truth.
6
00:01:02.770 --> 00:01:07.000
Tanya: deepen their relationships, and align with life's purpose.
7
00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:10.740
Tanya: With a background. As a home birth midwife.
8
00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:27.720
Tanya: she brings a nurturing energy and profound spiritual insights to every somatic healing session. She offers one to one healing sessions to dive deep and help clients go from where they are now, to where their deepest desires and goals are guiding them.
9
00:01:28.150 --> 00:01:32.580
Tanya: Hello, Ashley! Welcome to the show, and thank you so much for being here.
10
00:01:33.070 --> 00:01:39.410
Ashley Carver (she/her): Thank you so much, Tanya. Thank you for that. Intro. I really really appreciate being able to talk with you today.
11
00:01:39.760 --> 00:02:00.200
Tanya: Yeah, me, too. And first of all, let me just say I'm so excited you're here because I really do love talking about all things spiritual, esoteric, and mystical. So I'm all in today, and I can't wait to learn from you. And can you just start by introducing yourself to the audience and sharing your story.
12
00:02:01.160 --> 00:02:06.139
Ashley Carver (she/her): Sure. Yeah, thank you. I'm super down to talk about all things spiritual
13
00:02:06.710 --> 00:02:09.819
Ashley Carver (she/her): as well. So really excited about this, too.
14
00:02:10.705 --> 00:02:16.340
Ashley Carver (she/her): A little bit about me. My background, as you said, is in homework, midwifery.
15
00:02:16.380 --> 00:02:19.850
Ashley Carver (she/her): I was a birth worker and midwife for
16
00:02:20.050 --> 00:02:23.340
Ashley Carver (she/her): not too long. Before I
17
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:29.760
Ashley Carver (she/her): before I got some clear messaging that I was supposed to take a pause and take a step back from that
18
00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:37.769
Ashley Carver (she/her): line of work, and that calling and so through that time of pause, I
19
00:02:38.330 --> 00:02:45.989
Ashley Carver (she/her): I did a lot of healing work on myself and did some some more training programs. And I ended up coming into this
20
00:02:47.260 --> 00:02:52.269
Ashley Carver (she/her): this line of service of somatic embodiment work which I really, really.
21
00:02:52.600 --> 00:03:01.409
Ashley Carver (she/her): it really excites me. It really lights me up. And I really love working with people in this way to help them kind of come into their body.
22
00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:07.660
Ashley Carver (she/her): find out what's holding them back from their deepest desires and help them kind of take steps
23
00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:15.160
Ashley Carver (she/her): towards that, and manifest whatever they want in their lives. So it's really fulfilling and satisfying work. And to me it feels a little bit like
24
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:16.850
Ashley Carver (she/her): midwifery still, but
25
00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:21.809
Ashley Carver (she/her): but of adults like in their souls and their spiritual desires. So
26
00:03:22.190 --> 00:03:24.739
Ashley Carver (she/her): that's that's kind of where I'm at right now.
27
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:37.530
Tanya: Okay, yeah, that's so cool. And could you explain a little bit more in detail to like what exactly spiritual somatic embodiment is, and like what you actually do as a guide.
28
00:03:38.030 --> 00:03:44.680
Ashley Carver (she/her): Sure. Yeah, that's a great question. And a lot of people are a little bit confused about what sematic embodiment is. So
29
00:03:44.870 --> 00:03:54.549
Ashley Carver (she/her): to me, what it is is is tuning into the felt sense of the body. Soma is part of somatic embodiment, and Soma just means, like
30
00:03:54.710 --> 00:04:01.669
Ashley Carver (she/her): the mind and the body and the spirit all connected with each other, and the sensations and the experiences that we carry.
31
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:03.710
Ashley Carver (she/her): and all of these different levels.
32
00:04:04.210 --> 00:04:08.569
Ashley Carver (she/her): so somatic embodiment kind of taps into
33
00:04:08.930 --> 00:04:15.719
Ashley Carver (she/her): our desires first, and where we are in this present moment, and then we kind of tune into the body
34
00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:19.189
Ashley Carver (she/her): and the mind and the spirit. And we find
35
00:04:19.269 --> 00:04:20.370
Ashley Carver (she/her): the
36
00:04:20.660 --> 00:04:29.045
Ashley Carver (she/her): the areas that might be holding us back from those desires. So this could be like trauma from childhood, or it could be
37
00:04:29.690 --> 00:04:37.429
Ashley Carver (she/her): past relationships. That kind of make us feel like we need to keep ourselves safe by keeping ourselves distant from our current relationships.
38
00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:41.059
Ashley Carver (she/her): So it's really nuanced. And it's different for each person.
39
00:04:41.875 --> 00:04:42.790
Ashley Carver (she/her): But we have
40
00:04:43.268 --> 00:04:50.939
Ashley Carver (she/her): a pretty solid framework of tools to use in order to help people kind of release or integrate or work through those
41
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.559
Ashley Carver (she/her): those roadblocks or learning experiences, and then
42
00:04:55.730 --> 00:05:04.529
Ashley Carver (she/her): kind of hand the keys to life over to more empowered pieces that exist within our body, our mind or our spirit.
43
00:05:04.840 --> 00:05:09.560
Ashley Carver (she/her): So that's kind of the gist of of what it looks like. And the spiritual aspect is just
44
00:05:10.050 --> 00:05:11.680
Ashley Carver (she/her): my own personal
45
00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:15.279
Ashley Carver (she/her): lens through which I view life is that we're all
46
00:05:15.330 --> 00:05:18.869
Ashley Carver (she/her): spiritual beings, kind of just having a physical reality.
47
00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:21.259
Ashley Carver (she/her): 3D. Experience in this life.
48
00:05:21.410 --> 00:05:27.050
Ashley Carver (she/her): So that's kind of the perspective that I have on on the healing work when we're going through it.
49
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:31.170
Tanya: Okay, okay? And then, so
50
00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:33.100
Tanya: when you're
51
00:05:33.860 --> 00:05:44.799
Tanya: do so, how do you? Exactly. You do it? Is it like through talking? Is it kind of like therapy coaching, or are you you like? What kind of tools are you using.
52
00:05:45.590 --> 00:05:45.910
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah.
53
00:05:46.312 --> 00:05:47.519
Tanya: Like heal these
54
00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:51.120
Tanya: underlying wounds or blockages.
55
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.160
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, we use a lot of different tools. It is a lot of talking and
56
00:05:55.210 --> 00:06:01.830
Ashley Carver (she/her): and kind of tuning into the body. We're not kind of going back to the past like traditional talk therapy does
57
00:06:02.333 --> 00:06:05.800
Ashley Carver (she/her): to revisit the stories of how all these
58
00:06:05.850 --> 00:06:10.469
Ashley Carver (she/her): pieces came to be. In the first place, we're just tapping into where they are now.
59
00:06:10.700 --> 00:06:14.229
Ashley Carver (she/her): what they feel like and what they, what they need in
60
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:20.099
Ashley Carver (she/her): and what they can express to kind of help us get clarity on why we are where we are in life.
61
00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:28.603
Ashley Carver (she/her): so to do. The the integration and the healing and the release of these pieces. We use breath work or
62
00:06:29.050 --> 00:06:30.360
Ashley Carver (she/her): sounding.
63
00:06:30.380 --> 00:06:33.620
Ashley Carver (she/her): or, you know, moving the body physically.
64
00:06:34.546 --> 00:06:37.480
Ashley Carver (she/her): In addition to to the talking, and like going
65
00:06:37.700 --> 00:06:40.399
Ashley Carver (she/her): kind of going into the body to talk
66
00:06:40.460 --> 00:06:43.100
Ashley Carver (she/her): to these pieces and give them consciousness
67
00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:46.540
Ashley Carver (she/her): in a way. So it sounds weird to some people, but
68
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.320
Ashley Carver (she/her): in like Taoist and Tantric philosophy.
69
00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:55.620
Ashley Carver (she/her): each piece of the body has consciousness. Each piece of
70
00:06:55.990 --> 00:07:06.409
Ashley Carver (she/her): you know, our experience has its own consciousness. So we're kind of like giving a voice and and tapping into the consciousness of these pieces, so they can kind of express what they need to express
71
00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:08.310
Ashley Carver (she/her): in order to be healed.
72
00:07:08.870 --> 00:07:13.070
Ashley Carver (she/her): integrated or released through the breath work in the movement and sounding.
73
00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:20.449
Tanya: That makes me think of that book. Have you ever? I'm sure you've heard of it. The the body keeps the score.
74
00:07:20.640 --> 00:07:26.042
Ashley Carver (she/her): Oh, totally. Yeah, that's a big foundational book and perspective for the work that I do. Yeah.
75
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.789
Tanya: Playbook. So your body, your
76
00:07:30.790 --> 00:07:33.800
Tanya: like muscles, hold trauma.
77
00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:41.939
Tanya: And so you're essentially like finding like. So this is just my interpretation of it, and you can correct me if I'm wrong. So the way I'm
78
00:07:42.210 --> 00:07:54.500
Tanya: interpreting it is just yeah, like, so you find the locations in the body that are storing this trauma and using your tools to like uncover
79
00:07:54.530 --> 00:07:55.340
Tanya: these.
80
00:07:56.990 --> 00:07:57.980
Tanya: I guess
81
00:07:58.200 --> 00:08:02.989
Tanya: wounds that have been kind of like swept under the rug. You uncover them, bring them
82
00:08:03.640 --> 00:08:12.469
Tanya: into the consciousness, and then use your tools to then heal them because they're blocking these individuals from
83
00:08:14.010 --> 00:08:18.098
Tanya: basically living into their full potential right.
84
00:08:18.610 --> 00:08:21.561
Ashley Carver (she/her): Totally. Yeah, that's a great explanation of it.
85
00:08:21.950 --> 00:08:25.890
Ashley Carver (she/her): to me what I I kind of view it as like
86
00:08:26.310 --> 00:08:28.900
Ashley Carver (she/her): as children. We all have these
87
00:08:28.910 --> 00:08:34.210
Ashley Carver (she/her): inner children within ourselves, and just as you would any children
88
00:08:34.429 --> 00:08:57.699
Ashley Carver (she/her): that might be in your life outside of yourself, you want to hear what they have to say. You want to hear. You want to hold space for their full expression. And it's not like, you know, giving your child the keys to your life. You're just letting them express themselves and and express their needs and their wants and their desires, and then providing containment for them, so that.
89
00:08:57.940 --> 00:09:00.989
Ashley Carver (she/her): like your inner 4 or 5 year old isn't kind of
90
00:09:01.450 --> 00:09:07.130
Ashley Carver (she/her): running the way that you interact in your relationship with your partner. If that makes sense.
91
00:09:07.130 --> 00:09:09.910
Tanya: Yeah, no, I love that explanation.
92
00:09:10.612 --> 00:09:27.730
Tanya: Okay. So the next thing I want to get into is, so I know you help people on their journey of self discovery. And I just wanted to know. Oh, can you share what self discovery means to you, and why you think it's important.
93
00:09:29.430 --> 00:09:33.050
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yes, self discovery to me is just
94
00:09:33.490 --> 00:09:37.929
Ashley Carver (she/her): like, I think, clarity and knowing self sorry there's some
95
00:09:37.970 --> 00:09:40.549
Ashley Carver (she/her): structure because it's going by the time you know.
96
00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:41.460
Ashley Carver (she/her): Pattern. Oh.
97
00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:43.868
Tanya: No worries. I can't! I can't hear it.
98
00:09:44.170 --> 00:09:44.800
Ashley Carver (she/her): Cool.
99
00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:45.160
Tanya: So your.
100
00:09:46.012 --> 00:09:49.420
Ashley Carver (she/her): Cool. So yeah, self discovery. I feel like
101
00:09:49.510 --> 00:09:54.390
Ashley Carver (she/her): a lot of us feel like we're mysterious in some ways, like we
102
00:09:54.900 --> 00:09:57.639
Ashley Carver (she/her): act in certain ways. And we're like, why do they do that like.
103
00:09:57.640 --> 00:09:58.240
Tanya: Yeah.
104
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:08.779
Ashley Carver (she/her): That doesn't even feel like me. So to me, self discovery is just learning ourselves on such a deep level that we're not a mystery to ourselves anymore. And when
105
00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:17.546
Ashley Carver (she/her): we're not a mystery to ourselves. That means we can interact with other people in our lives in a way that feels more solid and grounded, and
106
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.959
Ashley Carver (she/her): open and easy to understand. So it kind of paves the way for
107
00:10:23.310 --> 00:10:27.190
Ashley Carver (she/her): all of life to become more useful and flowing and
108
00:10:27.250 --> 00:10:32.670
Ashley Carver (she/her): and satisfying when we can learn about ourselves in this. In this way.
109
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:44.480
Tanya: Yeah, like, why they? Why, we do the things that we do, and what do we even enjoy and like? What are our deepest sole desires because I think many of us
110
00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:48.829
Tanya: it's kind of something that we've forgotten like. I remember when I
111
00:10:49.290 --> 00:10:53.390
Tanya: started getting into this work, I was like. I don't even know what my favorite color is.
112
00:10:53.390 --> 00:10:53.890
Ashley Carver (she/her): No.
113
00:10:54.285 --> 00:10:55.074
Tanya: You know.
114
00:10:55.470 --> 00:11:06.269
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah. And that's the thing with somatic embodiment is so much of our life is spent, not in our bodies, not knowing ourselves and not actually feeling
115
00:11:06.410 --> 00:11:22.419
Ashley Carver (she/her): what our body is feeling or like. Our heart is like. If our heart is our whole life is like, Hey, I love purple. I want you to be wearing purple more often, but we don't listen to our heart or embody our actual physical body. Then it's really hard for us to like.
116
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.499
Ashley Carver (she/her): feel like we're living in alignment with our truth and kind of
117
00:11:26.570 --> 00:11:32.100
Ashley Carver (she/her): can feel like something is wrong, or we get to a point in our life where we're like. I don't even know who I am. I don't know what my.
118
00:11:32.100 --> 00:11:32.600
Tanya: Yeah.
119
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:42.670
Ashley Carver (she/her): I don't know like how I'm relating to my partner. I don't know why I'm doing things that I'm doing or why I'm like working in the job that I'm working.
120
00:11:42.670 --> 00:11:44.701
Tanya: Yeah, how did I get here?
121
00:11:45.040 --> 00:11:45.560

122

Tanya: it can.
124
00:11:47.610 --> 00:12:01.959
Ashley Carver (she/her): That would be really helpful in in figuring out what's going on in life, and then also deciding making a choice. Once you have clarity about what's actually happening. Then you could make an informed choice about where you want to go from. There.
125
00:12:02.420 --> 00:12:03.450
Tanya: Yeah.
126
00:12:03.570 --> 00:12:10.409
Tanya: yeah, it sounds to me like, you're just yeah, helping people get back on the path
127
00:12:10.690 --> 00:12:11.890
Tanya: that their souls
128
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:13.590
Tanya: meant to be on
129
00:12:13.870 --> 00:12:14.420
Tanya: the path.
130
00:12:14.420 --> 00:12:15.020
Ashley Carver (she/her): Right.
131
00:12:15.020 --> 00:12:16.599
Tanya: Their purpose.
132
00:12:16.920 --> 00:12:24.189
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, we have some layers over our soul and our true essence that we gather through our entire life.
133
00:12:24.510 --> 00:12:24.830
Tanya: Yeah.
134
00:12:24.830 --> 00:12:26.340
Ashley Carver (she/her): So it's kind of about
135
00:12:26.460 --> 00:12:34.049
Ashley Carver (she/her): yeah, like you said, tapping back into the soul's truth, or the true essence of like who you really are underneath all of these layers.
136
00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:37.658
Tanya: Yeah, underneath all the programming right?
137
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.700
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah. Totally.
138
00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:57.309
Tanya: Okay, so and another thing I wanted to talk about was the one of the healing modalities that you use is somatic experiencing, and I was just wondering if you could explain what that is and how it works, and the benefits of this practice.
139
00:12:57.570 --> 00:13:01.413
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, somatic experiencing is kind of like a trademarked
140
00:13:02.400 --> 00:13:06.409
Ashley Carver (she/her): name for what sematic embodiment is
141
00:13:06.560 --> 00:13:07.260
Ashley Carver (she/her): so.
142
00:13:07.260 --> 00:13:07.630
Tanya: Okay.
143
00:13:07.630 --> 00:13:11.169
Ashley Carver (she/her): It's it's a phrase that more people might know
144
00:13:11.340 --> 00:13:13.199
Ashley Carver (she/her): because it's made, then made
145
00:13:13.270 --> 00:13:14.950
Ashley Carver (she/her): more popular. And
146
00:13:15.060 --> 00:13:18.233
Ashley Carver (she/her): in kind of like the mainstream, it's as
147
00:13:18.950 --> 00:13:22.589
Ashley Carver (she/her): It's kind of like saying Beakram yoga! Instead of just saying, Yoga.
148
00:13:22.790 --> 00:13:23.520
Ashley Carver (she/her): you know.
149
00:13:23.520 --> 00:13:23.850
Tanya: He is a.
150
00:13:23.850 --> 00:13:25.740
Ashley Carver (she/her): So basically, what
151
00:13:25.820 --> 00:13:30.369
Ashley Carver (she/her): I've explained that somatic embodiment is the same as thematic experiencing.
152
00:13:30.900 --> 00:13:34.580
Tanya: Okay, so just tapping into your body.
153
00:13:35.470 --> 00:13:38.780
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, tapping into your body and using the experience of
154
00:13:39.110 --> 00:13:45.510
Ashley Carver (she/her): of what's happening in your body and in your felt sense to kind of guide you in your healing towards
155
00:13:45.740 --> 00:13:47.830
Ashley Carver (she/her): a place of embodiment.
156
00:13:48.430 --> 00:13:49.390
Tanya: Okay.
157
00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:51.660
Tanya: so like, what are some
158
00:13:51.690 --> 00:13:52.480
Tanya: more?
159
00:13:53.750 --> 00:13:59.249
Tanya: like? How could we make this more tangible? For, like the person at home.
160
00:13:59.390 --> 00:14:02.450
Tanya: who is this even something that somebody could
161
00:14:02.470 --> 00:14:11.409
Tanya: try and do on their own? Or is this something that needs to be practiced with like a train professional like yourself?
162
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:19.739
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, people can totally do somatic, experiencing, somatic embodiment, breathwork sounding.
163
00:14:19.990 --> 00:14:21.810
Ashley Carver (she/her): They movement.
164
00:14:22.060 --> 00:14:29.745
Ashley Carver (she/her): Basically, you can do anything at home that you that you would want to do on your own to just try it out. And if you Google,
165
00:14:30.590 --> 00:14:35.389
Ashley Carver (she/her): like, what is what are some somatic experiencing or some somatic embodiment
166
00:14:36.610 --> 00:14:42.050
Ashley Carver (she/her): tools to use. There's so many videos and links online that you can
167
00:14:42.090 --> 00:14:44.339
Ashley Carver (she/her): try all kinds of things at home.
168
00:14:44.878 --> 00:14:47.069
Ashley Carver (she/her): And I will say that
169
00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:50.359
Ashley Carver (she/her): when you are able to kind of
170
00:14:51.450 --> 00:14:55.800
Ashley Carver (she/her): be held in your healing journey by someone who
171
00:14:56.230 --> 00:15:02.699
Ashley Carver (she/her): has both been there before and kind of has a lot of tools to help you navigate what might come up
172
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:08.580
Ashley Carver (she/her): that you've never seen before, or that you've never navigated before. It can really deepen the process.
173
00:15:08.670 --> 00:15:12.449
Ashley Carver (she/her): And then just it's like having an accountability partner.
174
00:15:12.530 --> 00:15:16.680
Ashley Carver (she/her): It really helps you kind of like, stay on task and on the path
175
00:15:17.140 --> 00:15:19.979
Ashley Carver (she/her): and go deeper than you might be able to go
176
00:15:20.630 --> 00:15:21.999
Ashley Carver (she/her): on your own without
177
00:15:22.190 --> 00:15:25.049
Ashley Carver (she/her): higher awareness of it. If that makes sense.
178
00:15:25.050 --> 00:15:29.959
Tanya: That totally makes sense. Yeah, when you say accountability, yeah, I think that that's right. Like
179
00:15:30.300 --> 00:15:32.747
Tanya: to keep you focused
180
00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:44.659
Tanya: and help you not get distracted and basically help you get to where you want to go. I would say, like more efficiently or faster.
181
00:15:45.170 --> 00:15:49.569
Ashley Carver (she/her): Totally. Yeah, it does definitely. It can speed up the the journey a lot.
182
00:15:49.670 --> 00:16:07.789
Ashley Carver (she/her): And that's that's a big drawback for a lot of people in the healing journey is like, well, I've been like this my whole life. It's gonna take me forever to to get where I actually want to be. But when you have someone who you're working with who can help guide you and help you go deeper than you might want to go on your own
183
00:16:08.233 --> 00:16:10.836
Ashley Carver (she/her): in a safe way, you know.
184
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.349
Ashley Carver (she/her): you can really like you said, Yeah, fast track the process.
185
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:16.340
Tanya: Okay.
186
00:16:16.530 --> 00:16:24.570
Tanya: alright. And so, okay. So we said, breathwork, and you said movement. So when you say movement, would you just like
187
00:16:24.910 --> 00:16:28.560
Tanya: just any type of exercise, or
188
00:16:28.570 --> 00:16:30.310
Tanya: specifically like
189
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.380
Tanya: Yoga.
190
00:16:33.420 --> 00:16:35.450
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, you can do.
191
00:16:35.710 --> 00:16:41.230
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah. Movement to me is a way to get into the body. So.
192
00:16:41.760 --> 00:16:44.780
Ashley Carver (she/her): for example, someone could kind of
193
00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:47.410
Ashley Carver (she/her): visualize themselves
194
00:16:47.520 --> 00:16:51.890
Ashley Carver (she/her): in their desired reality. So if I'm
195
00:16:52.310 --> 00:16:56.310
Ashley Carver (she/her): dating and I can't meet the right person, and it's really frustrating.
196
00:16:56.650 --> 00:17:05.409
Ashley Carver (she/her): Instead of dwelling on that in this semantic practice. I could just visualize myself completely in this reality, where I've met
197
00:17:05.619 --> 00:17:11.590
Ashley Carver (she/her): the one they're the perfect person. They check all the boxes. How does that feel in my body?
198
00:17:11.910 --> 00:17:18.189
Ashley Carver (she/her): What does it taste like? What does it smell like? What does it sound like, you know, really tapping in on all of the levels?
199
00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:19.619
Ashley Carver (she/her): And then.
200
00:17:19.630 --> 00:17:24.040
Ashley Carver (she/her): once you sit in that space, you kind of can tune into your body.
201
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:25.820
Ashley Carver (she/her): and you can
202
00:17:26.040 --> 00:17:30.430
Ashley Carver (she/her): find what feels resistant to that or what feels like
203
00:17:30.460 --> 00:17:33.379
Ashley Carver (she/her): in your body, a sense of contraction.
204
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:39.230
Ashley Carver (she/her): more sense of like feeling like you don't deserve that. We're like you can't have that.
205
00:17:39.450 --> 00:17:41.389
Ashley Carver (she/her): You tap into that place
206
00:17:41.430 --> 00:17:45.879
Ashley Carver (she/her): you could breathe into that place in the body, and then you can use movement.
207
00:17:45.910 --> 00:17:47.160
Ashley Carver (she/her): Whatever that looks
208
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:50.050
Ashley Carver (she/her): for you. You could dance, you could stretch, you could
209
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:59.450
Ashley Carver (she/her): to do whatever kind of movement your body is asking for in that moment to to allow that piece to kind of move out of your body.
210
00:17:59.760 --> 00:18:03.839
Ashley Carver (she/her): If that makes sense. So you use the energy of moving your body
211
00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:07.099
Ashley Carver (she/her): to move that piece out of the body.
212
00:18:07.540 --> 00:18:09.249
Ashley Carver (she/her): Kind of sounds
213
00:18:10.100 --> 00:18:14.381
Ashley Carver (she/her): hard to understand. Perhaps when you explain it out loud,
214
00:18:15.850 --> 00:18:16.389
Ashley Carver (she/her): go ahead.
215
00:18:16.390 --> 00:18:21.419
Tanya: Is that like the way that you understood? I really like the way you understood it right there, like, so basically like.
216
00:18:21.963 --> 00:18:38.050
Tanya: if there's something that you want like you desire, like I love the example of like you're dating, and you can't find a partner. Sit, maybe eyes close, visualize like you. Ha, okay, you have. You found the partner? You're with them, like, what does like user? 5 senses like, what does.
217
00:18:38.490 --> 00:18:46.459
Tanya: Maybe, what does it look like like? What does it feel like in your body? And then you said, tap into your body and just notice
218
00:18:47.313 --> 00:18:48.740
Tanya: like any
219
00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:56.867
Tanya: contraction or resistance. Notice where that is in your body like, is it in your chest? Is your chest tightening? And then
220
00:18:57.250 --> 00:19:00.025
Tanya: When you notice the feeling
221
00:19:01.520 --> 00:19:05.810
Tanya: move, just move your body. You said, any way that feels good to you.
222
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.909
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, allow that. Yeah.
223
00:19:08.120 --> 00:19:18.240
Ashley Carver (she/her): Allowing that piece to express in the way that it wants to express through your physical movement, you can also do this with sounding, which is basically just making noise from that place in your body
224
00:19:18.560 --> 00:19:23.759
Ashley Carver (she/her): or breath work breathing into that place, and a body and breathing in it connected
225
00:19:23.790 --> 00:19:27.780
Ashley Carver (she/her): looping breath in order to allow that piece to
226
00:19:28.150 --> 00:19:29.730
Ashley Carver (she/her): come out through the breath.
227
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.819
Tanya: Okay, just moving the energy. It sounds like just on.
228
00:19:33.820 --> 00:19:34.210
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah.
229
00:19:34.210 --> 00:19:37.409
Tanya: Logging that block. Okay.
230
00:19:37.690 --> 00:19:42.160
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah. And that's a very somatic body centered way to
231
00:19:42.210 --> 00:19:45.549
Ashley Carver (she/her): address blockages. You're not thinking about it.
232
00:19:45.580 --> 00:19:52.529
Ashley Carver (she/her): You're not like analyzing it in your mind or talking about how you got there. You're just coming out of the mind into the body and
233
00:19:52.540 --> 00:19:55.929
Ashley Carver (she/her): doing what needs to be done to move that energy.
234
00:19:56.810 --> 00:19:58.650
Tanya: Okay, love it
235
00:19:58.890 --> 00:20:09.800
Tanya: alright. Next, let's talk quantum healing. I saw that this is something that you do, that this is another healing modality you use? And can you explain this, and how this works?
236
00:20:10.050 --> 00:20:15.919
Ashley Carver (she/her): Totally. Yeah. I've had a lot of personal experience in my own personal healing journey with this as well. So
237
00:20:15.930 --> 00:20:24.920
Ashley Carver (she/her): this is an area that's really exciting for me, and that I've seen make huge differences both in my own journey and in my clients. So
238
00:20:25.170 --> 00:20:29.705
Ashley Carver (she/her): quantum healing is basically going back a visualization or
239
00:20:30.280 --> 00:20:34.139
Ashley Carver (she/her): not a hypnotic state, but in a state where you're relaxed
240
00:20:34.800 --> 00:20:35.850
Ashley Carver (she/her): to
241
00:20:35.910 --> 00:20:38.139
Ashley Carver (she/her): the initial instance of something
242
00:20:38.230 --> 00:20:44.180
Ashley Carver (she/her): traumatic happening to you. And you're doing this with a practitioner who can help you navigate
243
00:20:44.210 --> 00:20:47.027
Ashley Carver (she/her): those feelings. So if you're going back to.
244
00:20:47.870 --> 00:20:58.580
Ashley Carver (she/her): maybe when you were someone told you to shut your mouth and not speak to be seen and not heard. And this kind of keeps you from using your voice as an adult. So you go back to
245
00:20:58.660 --> 00:21:00.070
Ashley Carver (she/her): when you were 4,
246
00:21:00.110 --> 00:21:01.160
Ashley Carver (she/her): and you.
247
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.140
Ashley Carver (she/her): you see, and you hold space for the
248
00:21:05.590 --> 00:21:11.119
Ashley Carver (she/her): emotions that your 4 year old self was experiencing in that time. And then you kind of
249
00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:15.239
Ashley Carver (she/her): rewrite rewrite the story. So you could say
250
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.109
Ashley Carver (she/her): if you had a supportive adult next to you.
251
00:21:19.520 --> 00:21:22.689
Ashley Carver (she/her): when that happened, what would they have said to defend you.
252
00:21:22.810 --> 00:21:28.859
Ashley Carver (she/her): or if you were your adult self in your 4 year old body, what would you have said to
253
00:21:29.130 --> 00:21:31.821
Ashley Carver (she/her): speak your truth in that moment?
254
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:34.030
Ashley Carver (she/her): Or you just kind of
255
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:35.620
Ashley Carver (she/her): visualize
256
00:21:35.870 --> 00:21:37.069
Ashley Carver (she/her): an actual
257
00:21:37.100 --> 00:21:38.340
Ashley Carver (she/her): desired
258
00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:41.009
Ashley Carver (she/her): outcome from that time, instead of
259
00:21:41.110 --> 00:21:44.190
Ashley Carver (she/her): the traumatic experience that you've had at that time.
260
00:21:44.430 --> 00:21:45.830
Ashley Carver (she/her): And then you
261
00:21:45.860 --> 00:21:48.190
Ashley Carver (she/her): kind of push that energy
262
00:21:48.710 --> 00:21:50.260
Ashley Carver (she/her): through time and space.
263
00:21:50.290 --> 00:21:51.870
Ashley Carver (she/her): So a lot of
264
00:21:51.940 --> 00:21:55.020
Ashley Carver (she/her): esoteric people will tell you that time. It's not real.
265
00:21:55.040 --> 00:22:06.600
Ashley Carver (she/her): So it's a construct, and you can go back or forward to any point in the past or future. And that's why visualization works so well in in terms of manifestation, because your body doesn't know
266
00:22:07.170 --> 00:22:12.269
Ashley Carver (she/her): when you're visualizing whether it's when you're 4 or when you're 28. So
267
00:22:13.241 --> 00:22:20.670
Ashley Carver (she/her): so yeah, you kind of just push that healed energy of that empowered experience, instead of the disempowering experience
268
00:22:20.730 --> 00:22:25.799
Ashley Carver (she/her): through time and space, and that ripples into your present moment and acts as a healing
269
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.200
Ashley Carver (she/her): energy. So
270
00:22:28.340 --> 00:22:31.549
Ashley Carver (she/her): you can kind of start feeling more confident to
271
00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:33.330
Ashley Carver (she/her): use your voice
272
00:22:33.560 --> 00:22:34.820
Ashley Carver (she/her): as an adult.
273
00:22:35.370 --> 00:22:36.689
Ashley Carver (she/her): That's kind of a.
274
00:22:36.690 --> 00:22:37.430
Tanya: Love that. Yeah.
275
00:22:37.430 --> 00:22:38.190
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah. Go ahead.
276
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:44.439
Tanya: No, I was. Gonna no, I just love that so much. And I would just curious to like with your clients. Do you ever have.
277
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.310
Tanya: Do they ever have trouble like remembering what it
278
00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:52.099
Tanya: like the event? Or have? I'm just curious.
279
00:22:52.100 --> 00:22:52.420
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah.
280
00:22:52.420 --> 00:22:54.370
Tanya: Have you ever had issues with that.
281
00:22:54.610 --> 00:23:03.009
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, sometimes it's too big to remember. It's there's not the nervous system to regulation to be able to like. Remember the exact experience.
282
00:23:03.080 --> 00:23:08.280
Ashley Carver (she/her): But there is the the impact that it has left in the body. So
283
00:23:08.350 --> 00:23:16.659
Ashley Carver (she/her): if you don't remember exactly why you keep yourself distant from your partner and you can't. You don't feel like you can connect.
284
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:28.281
Ashley Carver (she/her): For example, we can just go back and kind of find where the feeling is in the body. Instead of like reliving the whole past. Traumatic experience. Does that make sense.
285
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:30.209
Tanya: Too, caught up in
286
00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:34.839
Tanya: pinpointing the exact moment when the trauma happened.
287
00:23:35.300 --> 00:23:38.039
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, depends on what works best in that
288
00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:40.259
Ashley Carver (she/her): person. And in that moment.
289
00:23:40.310 --> 00:23:46.620
Ashley Carver (she/her): if it feels like it's going to be too overwhelming. They're like. I just can't remember. Then we honor the the bodies.
290
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:50.140
Ashley Carver (she/her): Knowingness of what's appropriate and what's not appropriate.
291
00:23:50.330 --> 00:23:51.380
Ashley Carver (she/her): Does that make sense.
292
00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:55.007
Tanya: Yeah, it does. So do you think I'm just curious?
293
00:23:55.670 --> 00:24:02.060
Tanya: do you think that? That's why that app? Why, people can't remember the specific event, because it's just too overwhelming for them.
294
00:24:02.890 --> 00:24:03.930
Ashley Carver (she/her): Sometimes. Yeah.
295
00:24:03.930 --> 00:24:04.650
Tanya: Yeah.
296
00:24:04.860 --> 00:24:06.610
Ashley Carver (she/her): Other times.
297
00:24:07.780 --> 00:24:22.620
Ashley Carver (she/her): Maybe it doesn't have to be remembered. And it just can be as simple as that, you know. But a lot of times. Yeah, these events that happen when we're children. Sometimes they're even pre verbal like before we're speaking. So there's really no words we can attach to them because we weren't
298
00:24:22.650 --> 00:24:26.290
Ashley Carver (she/her): thinking inwards when it happened. If that makes sense so.
299
00:24:26.290 --> 00:24:26.950
Tanya: Yeah.
300
00:24:27.410 --> 00:24:30.380
Ashley Carver (she/her): The thing is with this work, though, when we do
301
00:24:30.560 --> 00:24:37.349
Ashley Carver (she/her): tap into the body and we do the visualizations and the meditations a lot of times stuff that we never knew
302
00:24:37.360 --> 00:24:41.110
Ashley Carver (she/her): we were going to remember or was. There comes up
303
00:24:41.310 --> 00:24:41.840
Ashley Carver (she/her): so.
304
00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:42.540
Tanya: Ellie.
305
00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:48.679
Ashley Carver (she/her): It's it's a different sort of container than just your everyday life of trying to think back and
306
00:24:48.700 --> 00:24:52.189
Ashley Carver (she/her): discover like while you're doing the dishes. Why.
307
00:24:52.190 --> 00:24:52.560
Tanya: Yeah.
308
00:24:52.560 --> 00:24:53.920
Ashley Carver (she/her): You are the way you are.
309
00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:58.930
Tanya: Yeah. Yeah. Well, cause you're in a more relaxed environment. And
310
00:24:59.690 --> 00:25:04.210
Tanya: you're with somebody, I guess, such as yourself, who's like trained to do all this, too.
311
00:25:04.210 --> 00:25:11.990
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, yeah. And it's a nervous system sense of safety. Like we, we set the container as a safe container. So the nervous system can
312
00:25:12.100 --> 00:25:16.660
Ashley Carver (she/her): allow us to go to deeper places than we might go in our everyday life.
313
00:25:17.110 --> 00:25:18.770
Tanya: Okay, okay.
314
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:27.259
Tanya: so cool. Okay, so you're a mom. And I was just wondering, how has the work you do
315
00:25:27.390 --> 00:25:34.180
Tanya: complemented, how you show up for your kids and your family. And would you say it helps you be a better mom.
316
00:25:34.950 --> 00:25:44.180
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yes, it's definitely helped me to be a better mom, and I'm constantly diving in and trying to get better and better based on what comes through for me and my own
317
00:25:44.390 --> 00:25:48.750
Ashley Carver (she/her): sessions. With my thematic practitioner. So
318
00:25:49.170 --> 00:25:51.149
Ashley Carver (she/her): the main thing is, I think
319
00:25:51.810 --> 00:25:56.520
Ashley Carver (she/her): it has helped me to really tap into all of the
320
00:25:56.540 --> 00:26:04.770
Ashley Carver (she/her): experiences that I've had in my life that were big like. Maybe as an adult, my parents didn't think
321
00:26:04.820 --> 00:26:08.929
Ashley Carver (she/her): what was happening in the moment was big at all, but as a child
322
00:26:09.290 --> 00:26:13.169
Ashley Carver (she/her): it impacted me. So it's really helped me to
323
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.499
Ashley Carver (she/her): put be able to put myself
324
00:26:15.670 --> 00:26:25.510
Ashley Carver (she/her): into my children's shoes in a way, and see the world in a different way through their eyes instead of through, like this adult
325
00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:29.792
Ashley Carver (she/her): 38 year old person who's been jaded by like.
326
00:26:30.150 --> 00:26:30.730
Tanya: I know.
327
00:26:30.730 --> 00:26:34.330
Ashley Carver (she/her): 38 years of, you know, life happening. So
328
00:26:34.410 --> 00:26:41.950
Ashley Carver (she/her): so yeah, I, it's really helped me to really honor their experience more and to really hold space for them to
329
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.300
Ashley Carver (she/her): be able to express in a way that feels good for them.
330
00:26:46.010 --> 00:26:48.769
Ashley Carver (she/her): And yeah, it's helped me to just
331
00:26:49.080 --> 00:26:54.760
Ashley Carver (she/her): bring down my own walls that have been created over a lifetime, to be able to
332
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:58.939
Ashley Carver (she/her): love them more and appreciate them more, and view them as
333
00:26:59.310 --> 00:27:00.220
Ashley Carver (she/her): the
334
00:27:00.670 --> 00:27:03.370
Ashley Carver (she/her): beautiful gifts that they are, instead of.
335
00:27:03.370 --> 00:27:03.960
Tanya: S.
336
00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:11.689
Ashley Carver (she/her): You know, trudging through motherhood, like so many of us do, which is a completely normal response to motherhood in the world we live in.
337
00:27:11.710 --> 00:27:14.050
Ashley Carver (she/her): and it's nice to be able to kind of
338
00:27:14.130 --> 00:27:15.530
Ashley Carver (she/her): expand
339
00:27:15.870 --> 00:27:19.310
Ashley Carver (she/her): in motherhood instead of feeling like contracted in motherhood.
340
00:27:19.570 --> 00:27:30.299
Tanya: Yes, I know, cause it can be so stressful and overwhelming. But you're right, like the goal is to. I feel like the goal of life is just to
341
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.000
Tanya: learn to love more.
342
00:27:33.580 --> 00:27:34.190
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah.
343
00:27:34.190 --> 00:27:35.829
Tanya: To be more compassionate.
344
00:27:36.605 --> 00:27:39.230
Tanya: And just to help each other through.
345
00:27:39.230 --> 00:27:39.900
Ashley Carver (she/her): Totally.

00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:41.257

00:27:47.060 --> 00:27:50.200
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, I love that. That's yeah. So on point.
351
00:27:50.540 --> 00:27:59.170
Tanya: Yeah. But I love that, too, like what you're saying with your kit like, yeah, just put yourself in their shoes, because there are so many times like I can catch myself or like I catch my husband saying.
352
00:27:59.220 --> 00:28:07.480
Tanya: because they're kids, like, you know, I think your kids are around the same age as ages as mine. 6, 4, and one, while she's almost 2.
353
00:28:08.134 --> 00:28:16.179
Tanya: But yeah, like the things that they get so upset over my husband, and I said it, too, like it's like, it's so silly like, why are you getting?
354
00:28:16.930 --> 00:28:28.640
Tanya: You know? It's just I'm trying to think of like something that happened recently. It just. I don't know my son Rocco. He gets infatuated with like
355
00:28:29.020 --> 00:28:34.380
Tanya: I don't know. Items. I guess you'd call them like yesterday. Oh, we were going to a birthday party.
356
00:28:34.390 --> 00:28:44.170
Tanya: and it was my daughter's friend, and I was taking my younger son along with us, and my daughter wanted to hold the gift for her friend.

375
00:29:37.630 --> 00:29:49.699
Tanya: say is like, it really is important, like, it's okay to mess up but just make sure that we apologize and then validate their feelings like after the fact, like once everybody's like bombed down
376
00:29:50.430 --> 00:29:52.329
Ashley Carver (she/her): Yeah, but we're all humans.
377

382
00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:34.239
Ashley Carver (she/her): feeling like they don't have clarity or answers on what's happening in their life. I love to just
383
00:30:35.060 --> 00:30:37.030
Ashley Carver (she/her): put myself out there as available.
384
00:30:37.350 --> 00:30:38.510
Ashley Carver (she/her): because I know
385
00:30:38.590 --> 00:30:43.130
Ashley Carver (she/her): it can kind of feel lonely in some times to navigate the big
386
00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:46.329
Ashley Carver (she/her): feelings and emotions and experiences of life. But
387

395
00:31:19.560 --> 00:31:20.160
