When seeking more aliveness, expression, and embodiment, it's normal to meet numbness along the way. But what if, rather than a barrier to feeling, numbness itself is a feeling? What if rather than a detour, feeling numbness is actually a destination? 
What if you could become so versed in the subtleties of your own body, you became a sommelier of your own sensations? 
In this episode you'll learn how to: 
Meet numbness as a feeling, rather than trying to force it away
Use a practice called “layer by layer” to gently explore sensation
Expand your sensational vocabulary
Question your preferences around “good” and “bad” body sensation, without invalidating your experience
Find the difference between protective fear and the fear of moving beyond the familiar
How to respond when body is shutting down in conflict and redirect your life force into flow
Let's become more intimately acquainted with the full spectrum of sensation, and all the power and pleasure that lives inside of it.

What do crispy roast chicken, September sunshine, your sleep schedule, and not knowing your tush from a pineapple have to do with sensual living? Quite a lot, it turns out.
In this episode, Mary explores seasonal living as sensual living—and how a disconnection from time's natural rhythms can leave even the most capable among us struggling with the most ordinary aspects of being human.
From following seven minutes of sunlight through Manhattan to savoring the last summer squash of the season, this episode is an invitation to let the changing light, food, and weather bring you back into your body, and back to life.
You'll also hear a little love note to autumn, with inspiration to brew the chai, get out the craft bin, and let life love you through your senses.
