Podcast The Healing Power of Self-Love With ‘Levi Walz’

When I first noticed the link between my clients self criticism levels and stress response everything changed. Not just professionally, but personally too.

I went from a therapist who treated the immune system with immune tools/herbs/supplement, or the digestive system with digestive tools/herbs/supplement to a practitioner who looked for the underlying mental emotional and physical stressors in my clients lives.

IMO, It’s the continual, compounded self-criticisms, put downs, worries, complaints, indignations, that are the biggest creators of long term stress and illness in our lives.

Being able to re-frame our perspectives, open up space for new understanding, and being able to appreciate ourselves for the actions, inactions or traits we disown about our past is truly transformational.

The practice of Self-love and appreciation isn’t just a fluffy, affirmation based positivity cloud. It’s a deep, committed, uncomfortable practice of leaning into everything about ourselves we disown and finding appreciation and understanding.

I call it the counter-intuitive key to self growth and mastery. And eventually it helps us grow from a place of pleasure instead of pain.
