Show Notes:
Greed is a reified fear that comes from scarcity, which is what we’re talking about when we don't think we have enough: a scarcity mentality.
Somatic’s origin is from the Greek word Soma, which means body. It’s being aware of our body sensations, our movement pressure, temperature.
There are four fear responses: fight, flee, freeze and faint. Flight and flee are mobilized responses, while faint and freeze are immobilized responses, which mean they happen in our body.
Our nervous system is important for our health and well-being and for getting closer to and identifying our fear.
Many people have limiting beliefs and behavior that relate to wondering if they are good enough, do enough, or produce enough, which can stem from having a need that may or may not have been fully met.
Fear is typically felt as jitters in the belly, hands, or other places of the body. Sadness is typically felt in the chest, behind the eyes, and in the throat. Anger is typically felt in the back and jaw.
