Autumn Warren Connolly

Bernadette and Autumn are so excited about the podcast they recorded over the weekend. Check back on the website soon to listen! Autumn Warren Connolly discusses core wounds. Core wounds are wounds that affect us when we are not emotionally ready or equipped to handle at the time. Events like divorce, going to daycare, or the loss of a family member as a child can carry on to adulthood. The core wounds cause our deepest darkest fear. Most of us can live our whole lives without facing the core wounds that reside inside of us. We don't have the emotional range as children to address or fix our wounds, so we must be consciously aware as adults! Wait to feel that trigger within you to begin healing.We know we have a core wound when feel like our interpersonal relationships have overwhelming themes of hurt. More often than not, the overwhelming,ing feeling of hurt begins to manifest within us, so it urges us to do something about it. Anything that causes emotional pain right now is likely form a core wound. Let it out! Cry it out! Instead of moving on after shedding tears, take a little more time to venture a little deeper. You have to feel the pain in order for it to go away.Adi Mantra is typically done prior to a long meditation. Adi Mantra opens you up to more feelings and emotions. It allows peace and stillness and can even let you find your core wounds so you can address them! "Adi" loosely translates to "I Bow To All That Is." The Adi Mantra connects us to our highest source of wisdom.

When his wife was diagnosed with cancer, Brad, his wife, and his son made it their daily goal to focus on the small kind actions that made the world of differences. Brad and Bernadette and say choose to celebrate the small victories. Instead of crossing off one item on your to do list and moving on to the next, celebrate your completion one thing! Smile.
