The Revital Health Podcast

In this episode I’m joined by Dr Talia SteedIn her new book, Choosing the Witness Self, Talia writes:In this way of being, we can make contact with pure awareness. Awareness beyond the thoughts, beyond the feelings, beyond the sensations in the body. And this is the essence of spirituality. Discovering that you are the witness to the experiences of your life. Nothing more, and nothing less.In this conversation we explore:The difference between the will to live and the will to healWhy the body is not punishing you, but illuminating what needs attentionHow chronic symptoms can reflect misalignment in work, relationships and lifestyleWhat it means to “choose the witness self” instead of being run by the ego mindHow to create space, safety and self-compassion so change feels possiblePractical entry points for people who find stillness, silence or “self-care time” confrontingThe power of self-validation and taking ownership of your own healing journeyWe also talk about our new collaboration:Choosing the Witness Self – Monthly Book Club (Perth)Dr Talia is hosting an in-person book club at Skol in Scarborough on the last Friday of each month at 1pm, starting 30 January.
