Living according to one’s desires, no matter the circumstances or what society tells us is possible…

How do you want to experience your life? That’s not only a fantastic question for anyone, it’s the exact question that is a foundation for healing done by Michelle Keinan, somatic healer and the co-founder of City Wellness Collective, a community and center for healers in New York City, and the founder of Radically Selfish.

Keinan shares why we are personally responsible for the possibilities in our own lives, responsible for how we feel, how we show up for the lives we create, how you can ask yourself “how do I want to feel”, you’ll learn how to channel anger into creation, and Keinan reveals what people who teach manifesting your ideal life, get wrong.

Plus, you’ll discover what Keinan has in common with the great ark builder, Noah. Keinan joins guest host Jessica Brodkin [Episode 11] in the MouthMedia Network studios powered by Sennheiser.

In this episode:

Keinan discusses personal transformation, becoming a magnet for everything you want in your life, and creating Radically Selfish
How as a somatic healer Keinan become a community healer, and the role feeling deep love and connection to people has played
How most people are used to using their minds/verbal to navigate problems, finding solutions and hearing of spirit energy and shamans and sources of energy and tools
Somatic healing is trusting in intelligence of body, and one does not have to be a believer or use the mind for it to work
An example of how animals vibrate when in fear or when cold, and humans don’t allow our bodies to do what we are naturally able to do, automatically unconsciously limiting responsibilities due to lessons or trauma from the past
Being a futurist
How Keinan watching her immigrant parents come to the USA and build lives from nothing inspired her to be a creator, and how it is our personal responsibility to find what puts us in our “zone of genius”
Power being fueled by rebellion and anger, like many creators, being alchemists, and transforming pain into magic
Anger as a strong fuel, and an act of moving forward and processing something that needs to change, harnessing that energy that intelligence is saying we need to do, aligning with inner knowledge to go after what we want and being more free, which means the possibilities are endless
Rebellion, pleasure, creation as three pillars of Keinan
The goal of pleasure and joy in life, how Keinan’s guiding energy growing up was survival because of immigrant parents from Communist Russia
Growing things from pleasure with hints of Buddhism, and a way to control the ego while seeing life through a spiritual lens
We think that things are happening to us, but we can tap into desire, and take actions that will bring in healing and changes
So many different pieces that can put us back together
Why manifestations might not work in managing one’s future, releasing attachment to outcome, and the paradox of deeply desiring something while not being attached to outcome
Taking magic out there and applying it to realities of the real world
“Being the dance” in order to play the game
Social media portraying perfect happy moments while our lives are not glamorous as that, how pain drives us, looking at past pain and being driven by it while realizing that part of one’s life is over
Honoring painful moments and criticism because they led to where things are today
How the theme from Keinan’s childhood and core wound is not being OK as she is, how being forced into a box has made that force bigger, telling everyone she is OK as she is
A paradigm of “Zero Sum”, a finite amount of good, and how that might come from immigrants from a poor culture as the source
The central message of radical selfishness (also her podcast), and how it is about honoring oneself to be everything they are capable of being
