The Elements of Evolution Podcast

In this episode, we explore the living architecture of the psyche through the lens of the body. Using the iceberg analogy, Kara unpacks the layers of consciousness — from the logical, aware self at the surface, to the vast and mysterious terrain of the subconscious and unconscious below. You'll learn how the nervous system mirrors the psyche, acting as the bridge between mind and matter. We'll break down the somatic nervous system (our conscious, voluntary control) and the autonomic nervous system (our subconscious intelligence that keeps us alive — the breath, heartbeat, hormones, and instinctive responses). Together, we'll trace how emotional states, trauma, and ancestral patterns live within the body — and how every activation, shutdown, and surge of energy is the psyche in motion. This conversation is an invitation to see your body as the most honest expression of your inner world — a map that reveals what your mind might not yet say aloud. This episode covers: The anatomy of the psyche: conscious, subconscious & unconscious explained The iceberg analogy for understanding your mind The 'Shadow' - what it really means How the nervous system bridges psychology & embodiment The roles of the somatic & autonomic systems How regulation creates space for shadow work & soul integration Your nervous system is not separate from your psyche — it is your psyche, expressed through sensation, rhythm, and breath. Healing the body is how we bring the unconscious into the light.

Welcome to another conversation from the Alignment Talks segment, this episode introduces Morgan Glover & her work within Be With Birth. Morgan is a wife, mother, Childbirth Educator, doula & International Board Certified Lactation Consultant opperating from the belief that ever baby is born brilliant & every mother carries an innate well of wisdom that she can draw from within. Marriage & motherhood have been her greatest teachers - mirrors reflecting the places that longed for deeper trust, greater courage & fuller authenticity. Through her own healing jounrey, Morgan has learned that when we feel safe to fully inhabit our bodies, meet our inner world with compassion & honour our truth with devotion, we cultivate a self-trust from which transformation takes root. She sees pregnancy as a powerful portal - one that can reshape not only the way that we birth but the way that we live & mother. Morgan guides families beyond traditional education into embodied preparation, helping them welcome their babies but also return home to themselves. On the otherside of birth, she empowers parents to trust & nurture their baby's innate feeding capabilities, dispelling the myth that babies are incapable & inviting parents to let them |babies| lead. Her message is simple yet transformative - when we trust our bodies & lead with love, we awaken the brilliance that has been within us all along.  Connect with Morgan of Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bewithbirth/ Connect with Kara on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/alignment.guide/  Book a 1:1 Astrology Reading with Kara here: https://calendly.com/kara-liebrock  Join the Ascension Academy & get your first month free here: https://academy-ascension.mn.co/share/R2Oh6pcFxfA2yvJz?utm_source=manual

Interoception is the sense of your internal body state. It is your ability to notice & interpret the signals coming from inside you - your heartbeat, breath, hunger, thirst, muscle tension, temperature, or even the "butterflies in your stomach" when you're nervous. In other words, it's the felt sense of your inner world. Why it matters: Regulation: Strong interoceptive awareness helps with emotional regulation (you notice anxiety building before it spikes). Embodiment: It deepens connection to your body, moving you out of just mental processing & into the somatic landscape that creates lasting change. Intuition: It supports decision-making & inner knowing, since you're more attuned to subtle signals. Healing: Trauma & stress often disrupt interoception (numbing, dissociation), so rebuilding it is core to somatic & psycho-spiritual work. It's often called the "eighth sense" (beyond the usual five, plus proprioception & vestibular balance). Interoception is like the gateway to embodied leadership - because if you can feel your body's signals, you can align your nervous system, intuition & energy with your Higher Self.

Welcome to your Leo season - a very significant time in our Ascension process - the Sun (our Consciousness) in Leo (the frequency of love) aligns with the fixed star Sirius (spiritual Sun) & a temporal gateway is created - an opening that floods us with cosmic & galactic codes. We are offered a glimpse into possibility - a hint of what our most aligned life gets to feel like when we answer the call of our Higher Self at Source (the call of love). The big, bold, aligned AF visions for your life that are coming in now? They are not random. But they do require the energetic alignment of who you are with the life you are truly meant for. This window of activation, this portal, this temporal gateway if you will, defies what the logical mind may want to white knuckle: no forcing on the part of your human self, no suffering or hard work is required, nor is a long stretch of time necessary - quantum leaping only requires your alignment - the embodied frequency that is mirrored by Source, Universe, the Quantum field. Make the absolute MOST of this portal by joining me & a very special human for a masterclass that blends Astrology & the Quantum ... this energy peaks on 08/08.
