The Embodied with Evei community is not a replacement for trauma therapy but offers a supportive space to help you get better at helping yourself

Read on for more about how it can support trauma recovery, different tiers of membership, some simple ways to work with some of the lunar phases and the Celtic Wheel of the Year, the Dark New Moon and other online Circles, why it’s one of my favourite elements of my work and, of course, the ongoing Love your WHOLE self chakra journey.

You deserve love (from yourself and from others). Heal that trauma and let yourself thrive

I help trauma survivors (whether wanting to recover from Big T or little t trauma, complex developmental trauma, collective trauma or intergenerational trauma) learn to:

1) feel safer in your own body
2) become happier in your own skin (embodied wellbeing) and
3) connect with and take better of your whole self and Self (that highest, wisest, truest, wildest, most joyful, brilliant and miraculous part of yourself).

I do this by offering a wide range of resources through the book 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing, the site and blog and, in a more structured way, through the Embodied Wellbeing community on Substack

Lunar phases and your options with the Embodied with Evei community

There are four tiers of membership in the Embodied with Evei community. Read on to find out more about them and how you can start using the lunar phases in your own life (if you don’t already).

The Dark New Moon

The Dark New Moon is a wonderful time to set intentions. To be still and quiet. To rest. Imagine roots going deeper and getting stronger underground in winter. To the observer, it may look like nothing’s going on at all but there’s SO much growth and potential. We’ll meet in this online sacred Circle space on or around each Dark New Moon each month to connect and support each other while also tuning into our Self (that highest, wisest, truest, wildest, most joyful, brilliant and miraculous part of ourselves.) If you can’t make it live, the message prompt will be potential encouragement for you to take some time out to harness this potent energy for yourself and you can share your intentions in the subscriber only chat and comments. Full Moon and Super Moon members will receive recordings too.

The Waxing Crescent Moon

The Waxing Crescent Moon is when the moon becomes visible. A sliver in the sky (weather permitting). In terms of the Embodied with Evei community, Crescent Moon members of the Embodied with Evei Community are those who enjoy my free content here on Substack, on the site, blog, podcast, YouTube and social media (find me on Insta, Tik Tok etc @evemenezescunningham)

The Waxing Half Moon

The Waxing Half Moon is when what’s visible of the moon has grown to half it’s full size. A wonderful time to look at enhancing balance and harmony in our lives, I chose this lunar phase when I used to facilitate monthly Moon Mná Women’s Celtic Circles. I mean, who wouldn’t benefit from more balance and harmony? Especially with everything that’s going on in the world. Half Moon members of the Embodied with Evei Community are the free subscribers who support my work by getting it straight to your inbox.

The Full Moon

The Full Moon is when the light of the moon (again, weather permitting) is brighter and can help us see more clearly. It’s a wonderful time to shine and let go of all that no longer serves. Full Moon members of the Embodied with Evei Community are paid subscribers (€80 a year – just €1.54 per week – or €8 per month) and exclusive content includes going deeper with some of the posts, self paced self care videos and now, longer yoga nidras and more space in the smaller Circles each Dark New Moon. There’s also the opportunity to access a taste of private coaching with me through the reflective feedback forms as well as more private chat and comment threads.

Super Moons

The SUPER Moon is when the moon is closer to the earth. If this coincides with it being a Full Moon, it looks (again, weather permitting) even bigger and brighter than normal. It’s a great time to supercharge your self and Self care and to recognise a need for more support and rest as while emotions may be running high, there are many mind body practices you can do to support yourself. The Super Moon members of the Embodied with Evei Community are the founding member tier (€240 a year). As well as all the Half Moon and Full Moon benefits, you’ll get 2 private online sessions with me (60 minutes each) every year to help you shine a light on the ways in which you can make the most of the resources in the Exclusive Membership Benefits area. You’ll also have access to email coaching with me throughout the year making it easier to find the offerings that will resonate most with you no matter when you’ve joined.

We also meet in Circles for the Celtic Wheel of the Year inspired themes.

The next Circle is for Lughnasadh and the August Dark New Moon

This Circle is open to all but with limited spaces, please RSVP (email eve@selfcarecoaching.net for the Zoom link and to be added to the list if you’re not already a Half Moon member (free subscriber) as soon as you can.

If something then comes up, please let me know so I can offer your space to someone else.

What does it involve?

Join us promptly at 7pm and you’ll (all) have access to 45 minutes of exploration, reflection and self and Self care coaching on this Circle’s themes.

You’ll have the opportunity to explore:

where you are and where you want to be, setting intentions
you’ll be supported in releasing energies, habits and anything else that no longer serves you while welcoming the new. And
you’ll have time to ground your insights and intentions.

This first part of the Circle ends at 7.45pm. Half Moon (paid subscribers) and Super Moon (founding members) Embodied with Evei community members can stay in Circle for:

mind body practice/s to go deeper into releasing the blocks you’ve identified
amplifying your intentions and
an indulgent trauma sensitive voice only yoga nidra to support you with the Circles theme that also soothes and supports your nervous system.

Whether you can join the Circle live or not, Full Moon and Super Moon members will receive recordings of the non-confidential elements of the Circle.

By offering self paced self care options, you learn to take what appeals and ignore the rest, trust yourself and play with the trauma informed mind body practices that resonate the most each week (and from the rich archive).

I know what it’s like to feel terrified to feel. Scared to relax and be alone with your thoughts and feelings

I was perfectly happy (well, accepting of perpetual inner misery at least) being exceedingly disembodied until a chronic pain condition forced me into sobriety, trauma recovery and (eventually) embodied wellbeing.

I was in so much pain, I was ready to try anything. This led to me trying and training in a very wide range of modalities and now I offer a complete holistic approach with psychological underpinning.

Now, I’ve been a coach and complementary therapist since 2004, a trauma therapist since 2012 and supervisor since 2016.

I’m an IACP accredited supervisor and counsellor (and Editor-in-Chief of the Irish Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and BACP senior accredited supervisor and counsellor (and former Chair of BACP Coaching).

I also integrate other therapies that have helped me and countless clients and groups. From somatic and energetic approaches including trauma informed yoga therapy to EFT, NLP and crystals as desired and appropriate.

Much as I love supporting my private clients and supervisees from around Ireland and the UK, I love being able to work with more people than I could ever work with one to one through the Embodied Wellbeing community.

While all the offerings are trauma informed, it’s not a replacement for individual therapy.

It IS a space where you can explore what resonates for you in any given week.

We live in such an amped up world, it can be hard for anyone to relax, rest and recharge enough to honour our ancient nervous systems.

Add trauma histories to the mix and many feel like self care is a “should” (especially if health issues or burnout have made older coping mechanisms less effective). Something they don’t deserve.

My background and experience (inlcuding lived experience with PTSD and CPTSD) means I love holding this space in the Embodied with Evei community as a way for you to test the waters, do more of what feels good and begin to trust in life and relax more.

Even rest.

Heal.

Welcome your WHOLE self.

And create a life you don’t need to retreat from.

*these include a new yoga nidra every week – a wonderful, trauma informed guided meditation to allow rest and recovery while also being easier to follow along with than many forms of meditation – plus other practices like EFT Tap Alongs and meditations, coaching, energy cleanses, yogic breath practices and poses and more.

We’re wired to thrive when we feel safe, welcome and loved. It’s basic Polyvagal Theory Your whole self is welcome in the Sole to Soul Circle for trauma recovery, ADHD and more (formerly EMBODIED) – join today at selfcarecoaching.net/sole-to-soul-circle/

What are chakras?

Just as meridians are energy lines in Chinese medicine, chakras are energy centres originating in India. Written about in the Vedas as far back as 500-1500 BCE, there are hundreds, located around the body. We’re working with the seven main ones: base, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye and crown.

As a Half Moon (free subscriber) Embodied with Evei community member:

You’ll be guided through a journey designed to support you in ALL areas of your life with an email every Self Care Saturday morning.

You’ll also be able to join in subscriber only comments and chats on Substack and post your daily (or however often you want) embodied moments there and across my platforms

And you don’t have to subscribe to access some of the content later on.

What you’ll get

As well as exploring your relationship with the physical elements of the seven main chakras (from toe to head), we’ll be working with the associated elements of life.

These include:

*money, feeling safer and more secure, more organised to direction in life and next best steps

*feeling a sense of ease, ENJOYING life, sensuality and creativity

*feeling confident, safe enough to be yourself, to stand in your power, to stand up for yourself and for others and to feel safe enough to shine

*feeling an easy, peaceful connection with what makes your heart sing, your Self and yourself, your loved ones, communities and the world at large

*being able to express yourself with greater ease, better understand others and improve your self-talk and deal with your inner critic

*understanding your dreams, setting goals that you feel excited about, connecting with your inner wisdom and intuition

*remembering that there is SO much more to you than whatever you’ve survived or are going through or worrying about, that we’re all made of stardust

Upgrade for exclusive access to more of each Circle plus additional self paced self care content

This includes a self paced self care email with recordings of mind body practices (including yoga nidras, EFT tapping meditations, yoga poses and breath practices, crystals and more), access to Comments and Chat threads and even the option for private dialogue with me through reflective feedback forms to help you stay accountable.

Create a life you don’t need to retreat from

“There are so many things we have covered in the group that I find affirming and fit with my own values and how I like and want to live my life. When I look after myself, I am better able to be there for others in my life, eg. family, clients, anyone else and that is really important to me. On a very personal level, knowing I can be held by nature when I am feeling really bad has helped me enormously.”
