13: Somatic Shadow Work: Cultivating Relationship With The Feminine | Maanee Crystal

Welcome back to The Beyond Beauty Podcast, where we explore powerful practices and teachings that help you unleash your inner potential and live your best life. Today, we are diving deep into the concept of feminine embodiment and how it can shape a woman's sense of self.

Our guest, Maanee Chrystal, is a somatic psychotherapist, erotic educator & trauma therapist who has helped countless individuals reconnect with their feminine energy and embrace their true selves. 

Maanee believes that our interactions with the outside world can have a profound impact on our body image and identity, both positively and negatively. But by practicing positive female embodiment, we can reclaim our bodies, solidify our sense of self, and release bottled-up emotions that may be holding us back.

In this episode, Maanee shares her powerful insights on how somatic shadow work can help us get in touch with our feminine energy and cultivate a deeper relationship with ourselves. You'll learn about the steps you can take to feel more embodied and connected to your true nature, free from social expectations and pressures.
