Ronnie Landis: Greetings and Aloha. Welcome to another edition of the Life Mastery Podcast Show, where we discuss all things health, wealth, wisdom, and spirituality. My name is Ronnie Landis, and I’m excited to welcome you to another legendary conversation between me and a luminary in the world. And this luminary. This change maker, this beacon of light in the world, is a very, very special person to me.

She is my partner over almost the last three years, Alora Rose. If you’ve followed me on social media at any length over the last couple years, then you probably know me. probably know who this person is. You may even be following her. I certainly hope you do. And after this conversation, I’m sure you will because she is an absolute force of nature.

I mean, she’s the embodiment of the feminine. So that goes without saying, but she is such an incredible human being. She has the most beautiful heart of anyone that I’ve ever known. And I know her very well. And what’s really special about this podcast for me is that I got to learn so much more about her.

That’s the beauty of doing these podcasts is that even though I’ve known people for many, many years, and even though I’ve known this individual as closely as two people can know each other in the span of almost three years, I learned so much more about her. About her and so much from her. And she is a remarkably brilliant human being.

She has a beautiful heart. She has an incredible mind and she has a brilliant soul. I mean, it comes through so clearly in this conversation. And this is definitely one of the best conversations of all time. I think you’re going to get so much out of this, and especially if you want to go deep into the realms of holistic somatic therapy, which is mind body therapy, essentially.

Accessing the subconscious mind through the physical body. And we talk a lot about our personal journeys. Of healing childhood trauma, relational trauma, just all the things that human beings go through in this lifetime. And I think you’re gonna get so much out of it. I’m, I’m going to digress from saying any more because I could go on and on, obviously.

And I’m going to leave it up to you to receive the golden nuggets of wisdom that are ladened in this episode. So without further ado, enjoy this conversation between me and my beautiful partner, Alora Rose. Alora Rose, welcome to the Life Mastery Podcast. 

Alora Rose: Hello. Thank you so much. It’s about time you invited me on here.

Ronnie Landis: I know, I know. Yeah. And it’s the perfect time. And it’s been a long time coming. So for everyone listening, Alora is my beautiful, beloved partner of the last two and a half years. And we have been on a profound, magical carpet ride of a journey in these last two and a half years. So many stories within stories, and those stories will be told on a different podcast at a different time, because this is all about you.

I’m excited to interview you. And there’s so much that I want to talk to you about as it pertains to your story, your journey of growth, healing, transformation, the metamorphosis that you have undergone, and how that translates into the incredible work that you do as a psychedelic integration coach, as a holistic health and somatic therapist, as a guide and mentor for so many people.

And I’ve gotten to witness firsthand the emergence and the evolution of not only you, but the external expression of your work in the world, which has been really profound, and it’s been a unique experience. So getting to do this podcast with you is, uh, it’s a rare gem. For everyone listening, I’m sure, and the place that I’d love to start with before we go into the past, I’d love to get current with right now.

What are you most excited about right now in life and in your work? 

Alora Rose: Yeah, thank you so much. What’s really exciting to me right now is this space that I’m seeing so many beings in, so many individuals in our community, our soul family group, as well as so many individuals in The, the space of the, the clients and communities that both of us are working with this emergence of really a new consciousness architecture that’s, that feels like it’s really dropping in and anchoring in to the individuals that are carrying such unique and specific codes for the manifestation, the materialization, the, building of this new earth of this heaven on earth reality that I think for so many of us that have been in this really deep, multi layered awakening process, spiritual awakening process.

We’ve been, you know, all in our own cycles and iterations, uh, but really weaving together in such a profound and divinely intelligent way. And I really am just feeling a new wave of energy around this right now and what I see and feel dropping in to each individual and then collectively being woven together and architected.

And it’s potential for humanity, our collective experience, the birthing of, you know, not only a new element of, you know, our collective awakening, but the potential for the planet right now and what we are all being so. so guided by spirit to, to create together, uh, is if it feels like it’s in a really powerful, beautiful, and profound place right now.

And I’m, I’m really excited about what’s, what’s moving through me, what I’m channeling, what I’m seeing and recognizing, you know, my own individual journey in my human experience and how it’s built. an architecture, a framework of body, mind and, and spirit and, you know, adaptability within the 3d and how the, the elements that are being channeled through me channeled through all of us are being built in, in the material realm.

And, um, yeah, it’s, it’s really exciting and really, um, beautiful and profound. 

Ronnie Landis: Yeah, yeah. And what was coming to me is that is a very beautiful, exquisite, and hopeful perspective. And one that’s so needed. And there’s a duality in our world. There’s the light and the dark. And you know, we hear these phrases on memes on Instagram and YouTube videos of spiritual teachers and personal development teachers.

That will say these things like, Hey, there’s the light in the dark. You have to accept the shadow. Um, the roots that go down to hell are also the leaves that grow up to heaven. And so there’s this, this understanding and understanding around the polarity or the duality of light and dark. The reason I bring that up is because what you’re speaking to is representative A message of hope and inspiration that is so needed in a world that has been like overcast with this gloomy, you know, doom and gloom kind of, uh, vibration and frequency.

And it can be challenging at best on many days to access the frequency of hope and inspiration. And so, You know, I’m, I’m curious, like, for you personally and definitely in the work that you do, what comes up for you in terms of how do you support yourself and how do you support others in holding and carrying that frequency of inspiration while also being very present with, I guess I’ll say, maybe the plight of the Earth or maybe just in our own human experience?

Alora Rose: Mm, yeah. And I’m, I’m, I’m feeling so emotional already, just, just feeling into what you’re speaking to and kind of just reflecting on my own journey and experience in this lifetime with the depths and the plight and the darkness. And,

and I know that for myself and for so many of us that are Carrying this message of hope and carrying these pillars and these wisdom sets around how to build a new frequency in the material. Um, we’ve all experienced so, so much. You know, everyone that I work with and everyone that I know. When I really get into their stories and what they have experienced, endured, survived in this lifetime, it’s, it’s almost unfathomable.

Um, just, and it really, you know, I’ve always, it’s been so, so profoundly moved by the capacity of the human spirit. And. witnessing, supporting, facilitating the emergence of that hope and that knowing that everything that we endure, all of the, the, the suffering and the darkness and, you know, the dark nights of the soul that we all have our own individual, you know, and unique journeys within, It’s all for such a profound reason, and it’s all so perfectly designed for the emergence of our unique message, our unique beam of light, and what that is intended and designed to carry in the creation of a new world.

Dimensional reality in, in a new vibrational field that, you know, for, for me really kind of starts as, as a spiritual impulse and a, a wave of intuition that we then, you know, build a vision around. That then gets created and constructed, you know, one conversation, one agreement at a time in the world that we’re living in, um, and knowing what we’ve, what we’ve been designed to master in this lifetime, in all of the, the, what sometimes seems like, you know, divergence in our path or roads that we go down, you know, jobs that we take, relationships that we get into, um, things that at the time maybe feel very disconnected from our mission or purpose or what we’re really meant to hold here.

I really continue to be reminded and it continues to be Be reinforced to me that it’s all perfect and it’s all really important and you know, these conversations are so important in gaining clarity around that and seeing how the architecture of our being and our life experience gets to be channeled into our highest service.

Ronnie Landis: Yeah, beautiful. And how do you ground that in for yourself? You know, like really like what, what are some of the, maybe practices or not even so much practices, maybe that’s part of it, but like, how do you orient yourself on a day to day basis? Um, You know, amidst the perceived chaos, or the frenetic energy, or the Wi Fi fields, or dissonant relationship dynamics, um, and I’m not just speaking the now, I’m speaking like, just, you know, generally, even like, how you got to this, this moment, like, um, in terms of your, your journey and your story.

Like, because there’s a lot of people listening, I suspect that hear this message or listen to these podcasts and they either don’t have the tools or maybe they don’t know how to know how to use the tools or they don’t know how to access them when they’re feeling the pressure of what we’re kind of illuminating.

So for you, is there any, is there any, um, I guess what I’m actually asking is, is for me, and I think you agree with this, like it, it always starts with the body, right? Like everything that we’re experiencing, and this is kind of a segue into the somatic therapy conversation, like it, it always, it always starts with the body.

Whatever I’m experiencing, even if. Seems to be a mental experience or an emotional phenomenon. It’s happening somatically. It’s actually happening in my body. So my nervous system is experiencing whatever the experience is and the, and the access point is getting connected back to my body. So. How do you do that for yourself?

Alora Rose: Yeah, in, in my work and in my lived experience, everything starts and ends with the body. The, I, I really work with the body as a vehicle for transformation, for manifestation, for creation. And, you know, I, I see the body in a very multi dimensional way. There’s the physical body, the, the molecular atomic physiological elements of it that, you know, have so much complexity obviously as well.

Um, you know, the, everything that’s, that’s happening inside the, the biological vehicle is one Layer of it, and that also connects to, dictates, transmits a certain energy field, a certain org field, a certain vibration. That translates in my perspective and my framework to a certain like thought structure or framework.

Uh, uh, the, the mental body, the layer of the mind where, you know, thoughts are, are generated from, from the body, um, and thoughts can create the body, uh, on a, on a biological level. And 

Ronnie Landis: in other words, your, your, your biological body is responding to your thoughts. So your thoughts can make you healthier, sick.

Alora Rose: Yes. Yes. And, and the health of the physical body can make the thoughts healthier, sick. 

Ronnie Landis: Right. Good point. 

Alora Rose: Yeah. 

Ronnie Landis: Great. 

Alora Rose: Yeah. So it’s, it’s always bi directional, um, but in order to. To initiate a change in the, the layers outside of the physiology, we have to first attend to the biologic, you know, the quantum technology that is the biological vehicle.

Ronnie Landis: The physical structure, like the nervous system essentially, right? This is an important point, not to cut you off, but just to expand on this, this is actually a really important point, because it’s so obvious, and in a world of just, you know, mass confusion of all kinds on all topics, the obvious needs to actually be explained.

In a, in a very clear way, so that when people are listening to something like this, myself included, I listen to podcasts, uh, more than I even prefer to admit actually sometimes, and it can be information overload, but the simple principles are so essential for living a well life, and what I’m hearing you say is that it.

The state of your mind, the state of your spirit, is dependent on the state of your physical body. And then from there, we can start working on our belief systems and our mental constructs. And we can start to develop the spiritual aptitude. But if we don’t take care of this physical, biological, neurological temple, then all those other things are subdued.

Alora Rose: One thousand percent. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, just kind of picking up where I left off, you know, there’s the mental body, then the emotional body, then the spiritual body. And yeah, it’s all going, it’s all creating, generating, materializing, vibrating in this bi directional, um, process. And you know, I’ve, I’ve been on such a A deep journey with all of this.

You know, not only in my own lived experience, but in my, my training and my practice and, you know, really like formally training in the space of the therapeutic arts and, you know, multi-system, multi-dimensional. healing technologies and frameworks and systems for the last 20 years or so in a formal, like, professional capacity.

And I’ve been training in the understanding of the psychosomatic body, the, the, the beingness of the body from a very, very, Early age. Um. 

Ronnie Landis: Yeah, you were an Olympic hopeful at a very young age. Like, legit. Like, gymnast. Like, Olympic competitor. Right, so I just want to make that point as you, for everyone listening, like you have a pedigree as an Olympic developing athlete at your most formative years of development, so your nervous system is literally entrained for that kind of thing.

Alora Rose: Yes. Yes. I mean, I’ve, I’ve been a very embodied being and have, spent a lot of time learning how to work with this body from a very early age. I started training very seriously as a competitive elite gymnast at about the age of seven. Prior to that, I was riding horses and dancing and, you know, swimming in rivers and, um, you know, connecting very with animals and the spirit world and nature, um, as, as a very early age.

Active and physical child and then channeled all of that energy into very rigorous, intense gymnastics training. Um, and inside of that training, there was also so much very high level mental, spiritual discipline that was involved in that as well. It was training with all of the Olympic. trainers and choreographers and psychologists and mindset coaches and nutritionists.

Um, so I, yeah, from, from the age of seven, eight through about 12, 13, I was getting masterclasses, you know, PhD level initiations into the science of high performance. physical mastery, physical expression, competitive, competitive mastery. And, you know, the really understanding how all of those worlds intersect and are essential to, you know, we talk a lot about like being the most highly optimized or, you know, like at the top of your, your performance class.

But, you know, I, I really, I really understand that I was so deeply fascinated with how to optimize, how to create conditions for the most potential, the greatest potential of the human experience in whatever category or realm or environment or context that I existed in. And, you know, that was true in my gymnastics training.

That was true in all of my academic pursuits, um, in everything that I dove into, mastery, perfection, excellence, deep, deep understanding was a huge motivational driver for me and also just, just an, a deeply soul, like soul led obsession. 

Ronnie Landis: Yeah. So I completely understand that from my own lived experience of being an athlete and a martial artist and what’s coming up for me I’m curious, what was the motivational force that was actually propelling you forward?

Because I know for me, and like so many athletes, there is this really authentic and organic inspiration to excel. And then a lot of times there’s also an underlining quest to heal trauma that’s not even really conscious, but it becomes conscious later on in life. And I’m curious if that’s part of your story.

Alora Rose: Yeah, of course. I mean, that’s That’s such a beautiful segue and like really interesting lens because of course, you know, at the time as a child, I didn’t, I wasn’t aware of or conscious of the trauma that I was, you know, experiencing or didn’t relate to it quite that way. And What I’ve really come to understand now, especially in, you know, I, I certainly experienced what we can qualify as trauma inside of that level of training in gymnastics in, in that environment at that time and just kind of the, the, the consciousness that was, that was prevalent in that sport and what it

What it was believed to take in order to be successful,

looking back on it now, um, it, I definitely, you know, can see it through a number of different lenses. But what I’ve come to understand about my impulse toward mastery and perfection and being, being the best in that sport, being the top of my class academically, performing at a really high level in all of the career tracks that I pursued.

So much of what I was actually seeking was safety and security and how just through conditioning through what I was exposed to what felt like the only way to survive inside of certain environments. was actually to push myself past potentially, you know, a healthy or optimum, uh, levels of, you know, what would actually constitute a way of being, a way of operating that is most optimal for human thriving, for, uh, a balanced, fulfilled, And,

you know, I, I, I know that I’ve always been a very highly sensitive being and child and really connected to my emotions and very empathic, very energetically aware, feeling everyone else’s feelings and knowing everyone else’s feelings. trauma and stories and vibrations and being able to perceive that on a very somatic level, on a very psychic level, and being so called into supporting with that.

I remember being, you know, Three, four, five years old and catching stories on the news that my parents had on in the background and just being distraught, 

like, 

like crying for hours upon hours about a war that was going on on the other side of the planet and like seeing an injured animal and just being destroyed with the sensitivity of of, you know, seeing someone in suffering, seeing someone in peril and in pain and wanting so greatly to be able to help and do something about that.

And that awareness, that attunement sent me on a mission from a very early age to learn, accumulate, acquire everything that was in my scope of reference that was available to me at the time around what could help people, help people be happier, healthier, live more optimally inside of whatever, you know, context or environment they were operating in.

Ronnie Landis: Yeah. 

Alora Rose: So, you know, that, as in my teenage years, that really sent me on. an investigation around, you know, I was very interested in psychology and just understanding how humans operated. Um, I grew up actually, I grew up overseas. We, my family moved to Southeast Asia when I was 12 years old. And I grew up in a very small Southern Baptist town in Kerrville, Texas from, from zero to 11 or so.

And then at age 12 moved to New York. to the exact opposite side of the planet, um, and was immersed in a, a system of cultures and belief systems and practices and spiritual paths that really awakened me to so many ways of operating and being and believing and thriving and was very exposed to Eastern healing modalities, um, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, a lot of Eastern, uh, contemplative traditions.

And, um, I, I really. explore the, kind of the vastness of, of what was available to support individuals on a spiritual level, on an emotional level, on a mental level, and on a physical level. You know, I, I, um. Growing up in that environment very quickly, I was awakened to, you know, the sick care system in the West and what is actually the, the health care system of Eastern medicines, um, you know, traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, um, systems that really get to you.

The source of an issue versus just covering up the symptoms. Um, so, and being very sensitive growing up inside of this gymnastics world where, you know, we’re constantly working on tuning up the being from, from a multidimensional sense, um, through, you know, kind of the, these sports medicine sciences, sports psychology sciences, and then going to.

a whole other environment where I was given, you know, this whole other contextual wisdom set around, around living and being and thriving, um, based on that perspective and those lineages. I continue to be more and more fascinated and curious with the, the vast spectrum of what, is available to human beings in order to live our healthiest, happiest, most optimal lives.

And, you know, I, in those years, in those teenage years, I also experienced a lot of trauma. Um, a lot of sexual trauma, a lot of emotional health, mental health challenges with depression and anxiety. I had a really severe eating disorder for many years during that time. I was, you know, in a community of other teenagers that just seem to be really struggling.

Um, I think largely because so many of us were in transition all of the time. It was this group of people that were moving around a lot, moving from country to country, school to school, very often didn’t have a lot of, stability in, in their experience. And I think at that age, you know, not having consistency in a friend group or in a contextual reality really, and being in transition so much, you know, like that, that is so stressful.

To the human system and at that age, particularly, and I really witnessed and experienced a lot of suffering and a lot of pain and, uh, a group of individuals that were brilliant. And, you know, had so many opportunities and so many resources available to them. We’re very depressed, had a lot of suicidal ideation, a lot of self harm.

I mean, pretty intense, um, experimentation with drugs and alcohol. And yeah, so, you know, I, I felt very called to understanding all of this. And. And I was also exposed to a whole other layer of society in those countries where people were very impoverished, had very little, but were living from a place of just what, what looked and felt like full spirit activation.

Um, I, I really saw this dichotomy of. People that seem to have the most available to them and were really deeply suffering on a psycho emotional level, on a spiritual level. And then a whole other spectrum of society that materially, financially, in terms of access to resources and opportunities, had very little but were so fully lit up.

And were just overjoyed with, with the simplest of, of aspects of, of the human experience. 

Ronnie Landis: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that’s something that we see quite a bit in our world. And that is the, the paradox or the dichotomy that I think each one of us experiences. Everyone that listens to a podcast like this, for sure.

Um, There’s an entire field that’s, I guess, part of like the pseudo personal development, holistic health, spiritual kind of industry, if you will, where so much of the conversation is around trauma and mental and emotional health. And healing our wounds and subconscious belief systems and scarcity and internal blocks and barriers to accessing prosperity and abundance from within.

And it does appear to me, and I also fall, I fall prey to this too, because those programs are still embedded somewhere inside of me, or perhaps a part of me has created a misperception of belief that the illusion that I’m not fully taken care of or I don’t have enough at all times is true. And that spell, that virus, that overlay that’s cast upon us, particularly in the Western world, um, from, from a materialistic point of view.

And that’s what you’re speaking to the dichotomy of having all your needs met in more, more than you need and being impoverished. Psychologically, emotionally, and certainly spiritually, and that actually being the source code for eventual physical disease and degeneration. Regardless of how much resources and material, um, material possession one has.

So that actually is one of the most important conversations, not simply because we get to figure out as a humanity how to solve this riddle of the haves and have nots, but within our own lives, there’s a dichotomy existing within each of us, where there’s a part of us that has and a part of us that has not.

Metaphorically and maybe literally, right? And that’s a, that’s something that I also have been experiencing. It’s a frequency thing, right? And there’s a frequency warfare that’s going on in the world, which is maybe a separate conversation, but the experience and the effects of it are what I’m illuminating, what I’m pointing out right now.

And that’s, that’s kind of what comes up for me when I hear you speak about this. And so I know that I, I really just. I threw a lot of thoughts out there, but ultimately there’s one thing that I’m getting at, which is, and, and I guess this, this is kind of attempting to wrap up into more of a question for you around what, what do you think that is?

What do you think this thing is where we can have access to all the information and all the foods and supplements and material things that, you know, and, and money and opportunities for financial, um, gain. You know, if we apply ourself, it’s all available. And yet, deep down inside, many human beings are, are struggling or literally feeling empty inside.

Like, what is that about? 

Alora Rose: Yeah. Yeah. Such a beautiful inquiry and really important topic. And I feel like we could, we could go into 10 more podcasts just exploring every layer of this. And I, I, I plan to. I hope I do. I, I think what I want to speak to around that kind of tying all of these elements in. So the way I have experienced it personally, and the way I’m seeing it and addressing it in the work that I’m doing right now, in the the process that I facilitate, the methodology that I’ve developed and integrated.

At its highest level, I really understand it as The spirit, the soul, the truth of the being has become disconnected, like actually physically, vibrationally, far enough away to the point where it’s almost completely detached from the physical vessel, from the body. And what I believe is the process, the imperative, the journey.

is bringing that spiritual essence, that truth, that divine DNA blueprint back into the physical biological vessel so that together, integrated,

she can carry out her divine mission on this planet. She can live in the truth of who she is, who she incarnated to be, why that is aspect of my soul chose this framework for this incarnation at this present time. And what I’ve seen and what I’ve experienced and kind of what I, how I understand it is there are all of these aspects of our conditioning of our traumas that we’ve experienced, of energetics in our field and our being, the, the mental layer of the limiting beliefs that are, you know, also related to the conditioning and the traumas, et cetera.

All of these layers of separation of density that are, are keeping the spirit and the body separate and fragmented. So through the system that I have taken myself through over the last 20, 30, maybe 40 years, um, and that I facilitate for individuals inside of the scope of my work. You know, we work on each layer, we work on each aspect and understanding that in the physical body, in the biological vessel, there are densities That are held in the tissues that have a neurochemical, um, program, a neurochemical circuitry.

And that circuitry. Is connected to maybe a limiting belief, a trauma, a way of operating in the world that kind of keeps us stuck in this, in this patterning that kind of prevents us, blocks us from really inhabiting our truth, living our, our fullest expression.

And it also keeps us sort of plugged into a certain vibrational field, a certain vibrational reality, a matrix that has only a certain set of options, opportunities, thought forms, beings that operate in, also inside of that matrix, inside of that, that certain dimensional Uh, layer. And as we work through clearing that, excavating, like identifying and excavating that from the physical vessel, through this process of learning to communicate with the body and like communicating directly with the information that it has stored.

Ronnie Landis: Mm hmm. Mm hmm. So what you’re saying is that this is actually in the body. It’s not quote unquote in your head. Right. Because that, that’s, that’s kind of what I was pointing to when I said like all these different conceptual ideas. And pointing to, Oh, it’s the trauma. It’s the belief system. It’s what happened to you when you’re a kid.

It’s your faulty thinking patterns. All that’s true. But to me, those are all symptoms. Your thoughts are symptomatic of the state of your nervous system that has accumulated memory patterns within the physiology. So what I’m hearing you say and what I’m clarifying for all of us is that what you’re saying is that That the, the quote unquote blocks and barriers exist in the physical body.

So in order to work these out, it’s not about doing more mental gymnastics. It’s not accessing the problems of the mind through the mind. It’s actually getting into the physical somatic body to unwind the chemical deposits of quote unquote trauma. Right. Right. Okay. 

Alora Rose: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, and like we, we conceptualize.

The, the mental layer, the emotional layer, the spiritual layer is something outside of the body. 

Ronnie Landis: Right. 

Alora Rose: But it’s, it’s all, it’s all woven within, it’s one of the, one in the same and kind of part of this bi directional process that both tracks certain experiences, certain realities and creates certain experiences or realities.

And in order to kind of un, zip the file, it needs to be accessed through the, the physical layer, which corresponds to everything else, which will, you know, create, create an unwinding, a releasing. of a whole programmatic set that connects to the traumas, connects to the lived experience, connects to those thought forms, those limiting beliefs, those emotional vibrational tones that keep us in, in a certain layer of experiential reality in this world.

You know, in this human experience. And when the body is liberated of these aspects,

the spiritual quintessence, the spiritual truth can stabilize and anchor in to the physical vessel. And from that place, not only do we experience fully activated physical health and vibrancy. But that state of being creates an entirely new opportunity for the types of thoughts that are available to us.

A certain consciousness that now feels accessible that, you know, creates a whole other emotional experience and vibrational set point that draws, both draws in and elevates us into another dimensional tier layer network of reality that is on the human experience level, you know, like we kind of have these preferences or versions, but is, is so much more, not only preferable and enjoyable and opportune, but I, I really believe is You know, people talk about like this being our birthright, it’s, it’s the way in which we are truly meant to operate, not only just to enjoy ourselves and like, have, have a better life, but to carry out what I believe is our, our sacred calling, our sacred mission that looks different to each one of us.

Each one of us has You know, our, our, our own version of this and our own responsibility in this, but it is also a collective endeavor and one that, one that is part of bringing all beings everywhere together. Into the light of God, into the state of oneness, into the manifestation of our, our highest spiritual realization.

Ronnie Landis: Yeah.

So to distill that, what you’re saying is that ultimately to become truly embodied, physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and to awaken to one’s self, one’s own potential, We have to return back to getting into the physical body, working with the physical body, working through the physical body. And I know you didn’t say this, but it feels like if people start there, then the mind And the emotional response patterns will start to take care of themselves.

Yes, everything is so much easier. And then this whole abstraction of spirituality can be really simplified into one’s own values and the principles. And kind of like the moral ethical compass that they live their life by. And then when those things are all congruent, and the body follows the directive of one’s own values, let’s say, that is a very practical form of spirituality.

Right? And that’s actually, so that, that’s becoming an integrated, embodied human being. I just wanted to kind of like try to simplify the expansion of what you’re so beautifully saying. Because that’s what I’ve learned is that it is actually that simple. It’s not complex. It can feel abstract because it’s an expansion of consciousness, essentially.

But it’s not about going out there. And this is one of the, one of the traps, you know, that we’ve all been through. And it’s, it’s part of a learning curve as far as being a multidimensional spiritual human being in a physical body in an ever expanding, ever changing world. The basic principle is start with the body and with the body and everything else will take care of itself.

Is it, do you agree with that? 

Alora Rose: Absolutely. You know, and what, I think what we’re both speaking to is what, what spirituality in expanded consciousness is really starting to, to just become simplified and integrated. For me is it’s, it’s about our, our unique truth, our, our sovereign truth, our truth that is, that is sacred, separate of our own.

all of the aspects that are trying to pull us outside of truth, outside of sovereignty, outside of, you know, just the simple value sets and decisions that when that spiritual consciousness is integrated and stabilized and anchored in to and through the body, Much more simply than, you know, going the other way around.

We, we can live from a place of where, you know, what our truth is, what our direction is. It’s just known that that connection to our intuitive guidance, our, our, our navigation system, our sacred compass is, is clear and our life is so much simpler and more More pleasurable, more desirable, more sacred because of that.

Ronnie Landis: Yeah. Yeah. Beautiful. Beautifully said. So, I’d love to ground this in, into the topic of somatic therapy, since this is such a huge part of your work and your personal practice. What is somatic therapy? 

Alora Rose: Well, somatic therapy and, you know, just, just like every word and every term means a variety of different things to different people and it’s, it’s a spectrum just like anything else.

But for me, somatic therapy is a Psycho spiritual therapy that utilizes the body or works through the lens of the body for ultimate transformation, growth, uh, and, and ascension. 

Ronnie Landis: Mm hmm. Mm hmm. 

Alora Rose: And you know, as we were discussing, I, I really work with and see the, the body from a very Hindu psychology lens, the different koshas, the different layers of the body, of the being physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, energetic.

And, you know, so, I, I think the, the opportunity here in, in weaving all of these aspects of, of the human experience and the, the spiritual potential, weaving all of that together within the framework of somatic therapy is really just this, this invitation. to into understanding that there’s there’s no one there’s no one way there’s no one framework or modality or system of therapy or a system of wisdom that’s The silver bullet or be all, end all to healing, to actualization, the, the frameworks of somatic therapy that I, I work within is really about understanding the uniqueness of that individual and their multi dimensional system and how all of those aspects of their template and their experience and their conditioning and the energetic and environmental influences that have Shaped them and created them are all access points to work with.

They’re all ways in and through to, to the other side of the, the healing journey, the transformation journey, the self actualization journey that we’re all on the path of. And, you know, it’s, it’s. It’s a, it’s a different route. It’s a different roadmap for everyone. But what I, what I love and appreciate so much about the, this, you know, emerging world of somatic therapy and all of the different systems that practitioners in this space are weaving is really, Around getting more both grounded and expansive in the understanding of the holistic system of the human being, the very, you know, the, the, the complexities of the individual being, but how the fact that we are all working with a body with a biological vehicle and vessel gives us a a starting point on this road map, um, in order to transform, uh, and that we can have a tangible example, a tangible, experiential reality to, to track transformation and to experience transformation.

And you know, so much of what we’re doing on the show. This planet in this world is materializing the abstract, materializing our visions, our, our spiritual impulses. We’re here to create, we are here to build worlds, and the only means we have to do that is the physical body. Um, being an embodied being is a profound opportunity to channel profound spiritual wisdom and expansion, expanded consciousness.

into the material plane and to create a world that, um, is, is more beautiful than, uh, we could concurrently dream as possible. 

Ronnie Landis: So with all that said, I’m really curious, what does a somatic therapy session with you actually look like? Like, what is the user experience? What does your client go through when they’re coming into this experience?

Alora Rose: Yeah. Thank you. And yeah, you know, I, I know we can get really like upper realms with this conversation because it, it’s, it is really big and profound and deep, but yeah, to, to ground it all into the tangible, the material, what the experience Entails, you know, obviously it looks different for everyone every time.

Um, you know, for, for just, uh, the sake of example, you know, something that I’m working right now on with a number of clients in my studio. space is we’re really working with the expression of their truth and what has blocked or limited that truth from being expressed, being actualized, being transmitted in their lived experience and how being held back from expressing their truth has created.

You know, a cascade of symptoms in their life from their, you know, things happening in their personal relationships, in their careers, in their ability to generate money, create business opportunities, you know, just all of these, you know, 

Ronnie Landis: Is there a lot of, a lot of trauma? And that’s such a general term.

It’s almost like we have to do it in a podcast just to actually properly explain what that even is. But was it like childhood trauma, sexual trauma, um, whatever, physical trauma of some sort? Is that a common theme? that people are struggling with? 

Alora Rose: It’s pervasive and it’s, it’s, it’s more, it’s more prevalent, more common, more insidious, and deeper than most people can really appreciate.

And by trauma, like, I, I, I don’t want to pathologize it. I feel like we haven’t, we haven’t fully Accepted the depth of trauma that we individually and collectively experienced the, the, the truth of it because it’s been so pathologized because, you know, there’s this, this aspect of, 

you know, 

if, if we’ve experienced trauma, we must be completely dysfunctional and, you know, broken and somebody that’s unable to, you know, Uh, operate in life, but you know, trauma without getting into, uh, into definitions is, you know, as a, as simply a phenomenon that is separating us from our greatest potential from our greatest truth.

And so, you know, in, in this example around dealing with the trauma of not being fully expressed. Hmm. In, in the, the integrated systems that I work with on both physical and metaphysical levels for this particular set of clients right now, we’re working a lot on the throat chakra and on the physical structure of the throat and the neck and the voice box, the energetic pathways and meridian systems that connect to the heart.

The throat and just understanding that trauma around speaking our truth of, of transmitting our voice, our message, trauma around that is going to be physiologically held. in the physical throat center. Um, there’s, there’s little knots and calcifications and, and tight muscles, impinged nerves, knots in the fascia.

There are all these complexities going on in the physical throat center that are of course causing people physical pain and distress. And on a metaphysical level, I really understand that as like, those are, those are calcifications densities bound up energy that hold traumatic material hold the stories and the energies of What has been experienced, the traumas that have been experienced around that aspect, around speaking our truth of being fully expressed that are held there.

So I work with a number of different physical modalities, body work techniques, myofascial, myofascial. Lymphatic, neuromuscular, all of these different systems that help liberate the trauma, the density, the, the physical and energetic blockages in the throat center, in the neck, in the throat chakra. And as we’re unwinding that, as we’re, we’re digging into the physical traumas and liberating that.

The individual becomes conscious of the subconscious material that’s held there. So you know, we’ll, we’ll physically clear out a, a, a knot, you know, for, for example. And Um, because they’re, they’re in such a deep theta brainwave state, uh, a really deep subconscious state similar to a plant medicine journey, um, similar to, you know, when the default mode network is, you know, is put in the background and the subconscious mind, i.

1. the body, can directly communicate, can be more directly accessed. When they’re in that state and that subconscious material is liberated, is excavated, is unlocked, it’s kind of like opening a file, a zip file on your computer. you know, we, we open up the knot, we double click on it and all of this information is revealed and the individual is able to verbally process, verbally transmit what’s been held there subconsciously, unconsciously.

It feels like a knot, it feels like a pinched nerve, but it’s actually the time that, you know, When they were a child, they wanted to express something and they were spanked, or slapped, or their parents told them no, or shut up, or somebody was actually physically choked, or silenced in a work meeting, you know, it can, it can be anything in the lived experience, but because that, that energy that wanted to move through at that time, did not have the opportunity to, the body holds onto it.

It stores it in the hard drive, waiting for an opportunity to be revealed, to be unwound. And it doesn’t necessarily have to have a conscious story to liberate that energy, liberate that trauma, that congestion of energy without, you know, the conscious mind needing to process The, the exact lived experience or the memory of it, that’s not necessarily important, but for some people, it, it really is.

For some people, it really supports them in understanding why they’ve been experiencing this limitation in their life for so long. Why every time they, they try to speak, they feel shut down or, you know, they’re, they’re scared of judgment or they’re scared that, you know, they’re going to be rejected. You know, what have you, when that information is revealed and liberated and looked at from a place of safety, from a place of conscious awareness, witness presence, unconditional positive regard, unconditional love.

And we can create safety for all. that experience and for the individual in in their now state of being now state of consciousness and reintegrate that story rewrite a new story first in the conscious mind and then create a new emotional set point for that new reality that they want to anchor in ground that into the physical body The cellular makeup is changed, the physical, biological vehicle, the DNA is now transformed.

We have a new multidimensional potential for existence, and so yeah, that is somatic therapy. Really the integration of the subconscious, which lives in the body, which is the body, and the conscious mind. you know, working together to, to create a new reality for, for the being. 

Ronnie Landis: Yeah. Beautiful. Beautifully expressed.

That’s the, one of the best ways I’ve ever heard somatic therapy as a multi dimensional explanation. Um, and I know there’s so much more that we can go into, and in fact, I feel like we’re gonna have to do a part two to actually just go into the depth of your work, to go deeper into somatic therapy, but also to go into the psychedelic integration aspect of the work you do, as I think you have some really profound wisdom.

And experience that would really serve a lot of people and just kind of expanding on your greater body of work Which we’re only now really leaning into So i’m definitely going to invite you back for a part two to go deeper into all that so I’m going to ask you one Last question before we transition, since this is the life mastery podcast to you, what does life mastery actually mean

Alora Rose: for me? Mastery in life right now, you know, and I, I see how this has, has transformed and alchemized and really calibrated in my awareness and my experience in my being, especially over the last handful of years, whereas before Mastery felt much more hierarchical and competitive. And, you know, there, there is always a, a gold, silver, and bronze medalist.

You know, I think my, my athlete days kind of set a template for that, but life mastery for me right now is really about living in pure, authentic, truth, pure, authentic truth with your. unique, perfectly designed and absolutely essential template for beingness and getting to the core and truth and quintessence of what that is, what that vibrational signature of your truth and your mastery is, is really, I believe the, the key, not only to your greatest potential and service, but your greatest fulfillment in, in your life in this incarnation and at this time right now.
