006－How to Create Safety in The Body Through Somatic Practices

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to feel safe in your body. Not just physically safe… but emotionally, energetically, and spiritually grounded within yourself. So many of us are moving through life in a constant state of tension, wired, overwhelmed, shut down, or disconnected without even realising that our nervous system is carrying the weight. This episode is an invitation to slow down. To listen. To come back home. Because healing doesn’t begin in the mind— it begins in the body. 🔥 Phoenix Rising Membership Yoga, breath work, meditation, strength, and seasonal practices for nervous system regulation and embodied living Click Here [https://www.charlieabra.com/phoenix-movement-membership] 🧘🏼 Chakra Clearing Meditation [https://www.charlieabra.com/offers/hnUHPkoK/checkout] 🌐 www.charlieabra.com [http://www.charlieabra.com]

005－Courage, Regulation & Moving Forward in Truth

In this episode, I share what it really means to enter the Year of the Fire Horse and why this isn’t about hype, hustle, or “new year, new me” energy. This is about aligned momentum. We talk about: －What Fire Horse energy represents (freedom, courage, instinct, embodied leadership) －Why movement without grounding leads to burnout －The difference between reactive action and aligned action －How to stop standing still in places that hurt －Nervous system regulation as the foundation for courage －Why this year is about choosing differently, not proving yourself If you’ve felt stuck, uncertain, or like life has forced you to slow down… this episode is your reminder that you don’t need to sprint into the year. You need to move true. We also explore one powerful question: If I trusted myself fully, what would I do next?

In this episode, Charlie speaks honestly about what it really means to stay with yourself when life feels heavy. Following on from her reflection under the Full Moon of the Snake, this conversation explores the quieter, everyday practice of nervous system regulation. Not during the big emotional release, but in the moments after.

In this episode, Charlie shares a raw, honest reflection on sleepless nights, grief rising to the surface, and what it really looks like to practice nervous system regulation when life feels heavy. Recorded under the energy of the final Full Moon of the Year of the Snake, this conversation explores emotional release, asking for spiritual guidance, letting go of suppression, and changing the narrative around feeling your emotions.

002- Why Creating Daily Rituals Can Help You Through Life’s Shit Shows

In this episode of Phoenix Rising, Charlie explores why daily rituals can become an anchor during life’s hardest seasons when your nervous system is overloaded, your mind won’t switch off, and everything feels uncertain. This isn’t about rigid routines or the perfect environments. It’s about simple, embodied practices that help you feel safe, grounded, and connected when life feels messy. Charlie shares reflections from her own lived experience and why returning to small, consistent rituals has been essential in navigating grief, stress, and overwhelm, especially when there’s no clear roadmap ahead. In this episode, we explore: －Why life’s hardest moments are when rituals matter most －How rituals support nervous system regulation －Breath, movement, and presence as grounding tools －Letting go of perfection －Creating rituals that become the constant thing you always turn to. Key takeaway: You don’t need to fix anything, you need to feel life to move through it. You just need something steady to come back to, again and again and again.
