In this episode of Love, Sex, and Freedom, Raven and Tara delve into the deeply transformative practice of embodied manifestation. They invite us to step beyond surface-level affirmations and vision boards and move into a fully embodied experience where manifestation isnât just about thinking the right thoughts but becoming the person who already holds and lives their desires.
Raven offers a profound perspective on the connection between the nervous system and our ability to manifest. She explains that without addressing the unconscious beliefs held in the body, no amount of positive thinking will bring lasting change. Instead, she shares the power of combining thoughts with a deep somatic understandingâallowing the body to release past tensions and fully feel into the reality of what we desire. Whether itâs attracting love, financial abundance, or peace, Raven invites us to not only visualize but to embody the person who naturally attracts these experiences.
