Don't Wait (Body As Lighthouse)

Treat your body as a lighthouse, a bright, enduring signal in the darkness of a dying world. Almost a month ago, mine shutdown. Cut off from anything that brings me pleasure (like this podcast) and staring in the face of a world disruptive to the way I am wired, I had to get creative.. I have always been insecure about my ability to communicate. Over time I just accepted that it would never be my strong suit until I started doing the work to be able to bring my visions to life. Having this platform has stretched me into something closer, but I’d be lying if I said I felt like a “real writer” or “real podcaster”. I am not sure what my inner critic even means when it worms its way in and effortlessly nickpicks everything I do/say/am. I still feel major imposter syndrome at times, but I have been creating the evidence through my “body of work” that I can do anything I want, as long as I get my body on board. And that’s what I want to talk about today. x Brittany This is a public episode.

The Way Presence Moves: A Guided Walking Meditation for Finding Your Magic

This week we seek to inhabit the body and mind fully in order to reunite us with our personal magic. You may use this on a walking route you think you know well or you may lay down, close your eyes, and allow your subconscious to present a series of images that will be the most meaningful to YOU.. like a personal cinematic masterpiece. x Brittany This is a public episode.

Openness to Silver & A Handful of Flowers

In this episode, I explore what it means to stay alive to life — to choose eros, even when the air feels heavy. Through the gesture of Pushpaputa Mudra, reflections on awareness, and the shimmer of silver light on cloudy waves, I return to the mind as a place of offering. What I’ve learned is simple: what I bring my light to becomes more beautiful.

Place Magic: Washington, DC

Welcome to Place Magic, a mini series examining the archetypes we can draw from our physical environment. This episode is an ode to our nation’s capital, and my “college town”, Washington DC. Each episode will present a sensory snapshot of a place I have lived and how we have shaped each other. I invite you to inquire into how this process has occurred in your own life. x Brittany DISCUSSED: https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/636-quiet-storm/ [https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/636-quiet-storm/] Ways to Connect: Practice Yoga Nidra with me: https://www.youtube.com/@InnerNoseYogaNidra [https://www.youtube.com/@InnerNoseYogaNidra] Follow Brittany on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brittanyygrn/?locale=us&hl=am-et [https://www.youtube.com/@InnerNoseYogaNidra] The Inner Nose Universe on Substack for Yoga Nidra BTS, new podcast episodes and creative ideation: https://innernose.substack.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/@InnerNoseYogaNidra] Support The Grotto by signing up for my Substack email list to recieve new episodes in your inbox every Sunday or by subscribing on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
