Trauma isn’t just in your head — it’s in your body. In this episode of Automatic Mouth, Alison explores Peter Levine’s groundbreaking book Waking the Tiger and the somatic tools it inspired for healing and nervous system regulation.You’ll learn how to:

• Tune into your body instead of overriding it
• Track subtle sensations like tension, heat, or fluttery feelings
• Slow down and give your system space to recalibrate
• Use grounding and safe memories to build resilience
• Trust your body’s natural release (yes, shaking, sighing, or tears are part of healing)

Alison also guides you through short, practical exercises for each tool so you can experience Somatic Experiencing in real time. Please pause the episode if you’re driving or doing anything that requires your full attention — these practices work best when you can sit safely and focus.

In this final chapter of the Hermetic Principles series, Alison explores the Principle of Gender — the universal dance between masculine and feminine energy. This isn’t about biology or stereotypes; it’s about the energetic forces that drive creation, balance, and growth.

From Jung’s anima/animus to Taoist yin-yang, from burnout culture to the art of creativity, Alison breaks down how these two energies show up in psychology, philosophy, NLP, and your everyday life.

💡 Expect a mix of insights, metaphors, and practical takeaways you can apply immediately. Because the truth is — logic without intuition is cold, and intuition without logic is chaos. The magic is in the balance.

Behind every result is a cause — seen or unseen. Your thoughts, your words, your habits — they’re not harmless background noise. They’re setting off chains of events that shape your reality.

In this episode, I break down the Principle of Cause and Effect through philosophy, psychology, and a little cheeky truth-telling:

• Aristotle’s take on why nothing is truly random.

• Karma as planting seeds — drama seeds vs generosity seeds.

• Psychology’s “locus of control” and why blaming fate keeps you stuck.

• NLP mindset hacks: how the meaning you give things becomes the cause of your emotional effects.

• Real-world examples of how small causes lead to big consequences in relationships, career, and mental health.

🎯 Stop waiting for life to happen. Be the cause.
