Welcome to Episode 5, Season 2 of the Sick and Seeking Podcast!

In this episode, I chat with Amber Ryan, a movement teacher and mentor, and co-founder of The 360 Emergence—a spirit-driven movement practice that combines embodiment, personal growth, and a strong ethic of care and justice.

Amber beautifully captures our shared passion for embodied movement with this quote:

“And numbing is also one of those vibrations that the movement practice can help assist moving people away from. Whether it's stuffing something down or feeling overwhelmed, numbing can arise for many reasons. Through movement, we can begin to warm that freeze and bring people back into their bodies.” - Amber Ryan

Join us as we explore how movement can be a pathway to reconnecting with the body and embracing the full spectrum of life’s experiences.

Conversation Highlights:

• Energy Flow: How stagnant energy in the body can be shifted through movement to invite vitality.
• Mindful Breathing: Utilizing breath as a tool for deeper presence and self-awareness.
• 5 Rhythms Influence: Amber discusses how Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms ecstatic dance method helped her establish healthier patterns in support of her body.
• Breath's Power: The profound changes that occur with a full, deep breath.
• Embodied Movement Benefits: Participants often experience feelings of freedom, connection, rejuvenation, and stress release.
• Raw Emotion Expression: Dance creates space for authentic emotional expression and movement of energy.
• Community Support: Movement can offer solidarity for those facing illness or chronic pain.
• Healing Through Tears: Amber discusses how crying can serve as a softening and healing release.
