The Body as a Compass
The Body as a Compass
Tyler Jackson
This podcast dedicated to exploring how being connected to & feeling safe in our bodies is our sole purpose in life. Our bodies are extremely intelligent–far beyond what the human mind will ever be able to comprehend. What if life is all about learning how to find & create spaces/relationship dynamics where we naturally unclench our jaws, stop holding in our stomachs, and deeply exhale? What if the best way to figure out the answer to something we’re puzzled over is getting out of our heads and listening to what the body has to say? Let’s find out together. Instagram: @_tielur
07: Trusting the body as a spiritual practice
I quit my job with nothing else lined up! In this episode I talk about what led me to the point I’m at right now and how my body and soul made the choice, despite me trying to be as “smart” as possible about it. Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith and trust your intuition (even when it seems like it doesn’t know what it’s doing), and that is what this episode is all about.

06 Part 2: Drugs & alcohol (mini episode)
Forgot to talk about drugs & alcohol in the last episode, so I did a mini episode on my conflicting views on this subject. FYI, I am talking about smoking weed - not cigarettes!

06: Curating a safe environment for the body
In this episode, we talk about the effects of our internal and external environments on the body. We talk about ways to regulate yourself in physical environments you may feel unsafe in, the power of our own energy in our environments, hormones, trace minerals, and learning how to have trust and patience with ourselves on this journey that is life.

05: Emotional intimacy, healthy attachments, and the need to be celebrated
FYI: the mic situation is a little messed up in this episode! It sounds like I’m outside..? It only happens a few times though. This is the last of an impromptu 3-part series on relationships. We talk about community, friendships, platonic intimacy, learning how to say no, authenticity, expectations, anxious attachment styles, when the body says no, and forming healthy attachments to not only other people, but to your entire life experience. We also talk about how trauma is stored in the body and how it can be ancestral. Lastly, I talk about independence and learning how to go where you are celebrated!

04: Let’s talk about sex (and guilt, self-exploration, and creativity)
Join me in this roller coaster ride of an episode where I talk about sex, guilt, my religious upbringing, self-exploration/masturbation, ways to heal the sacral chakra (such as twerking the energy away) creative practices, what the body experiences during an orgasm, being dickmatized (i.e.: only liking someone because of the sexual connection), and body image issues.

03: Jealousy, romantic love, and anxiety on the body
In this episode, I talk about the effects of jealousy on the body in the context of romantic relationships. I discuss my personal experiences with unconventional relationships, the concept of feeling the need to perform for someone, and how I tend to ignore/stay out of my body when I think I’m in “love.” I also address how feeling butterflies in your stomach may not be a good sign. Lastly, I say the word “normalize” approximately 300000 times throughout the podcast :)

02: Rooting down into the body & the mind+body connection
In this episode I go over practical ways to root down into the body when you’re disconnected, how to start fine-tuning your intuition, the mind + body connection, and going on mental health leave from my job. Lastly, I talk about how I’m currently learning that pushing your body only takes you so far.

01: Learning the language of the body
Cheers to episode one! In this episode, I go over what led me to create this podcast and what it feels like to be numb and disconnected from our bodies. I also give an overview of how emotions are stored in the body and how sometimes our bodies have a skewed definition of safety. Lastly, I talk about the connection between having a “purpose” and being in tune with the natural rhythms of the body.
