Amorahki:
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Superpowers of the Soul. This is more chi and I am so so so so happy to be here with you all today talking with our gorgeous guest Dina Leialoha about Anxiety As A Superpower. I love this topic. I love this woman. I love this episode. Dina is the founder of the Breath of Life Institute. She’s trained with the Iceman himself. And she also has a background as a yin yoga instructor, a massage therapist, a holistic health practitioner, a musician, and an artist. She is an incredible being. She first discovered breathwork at the ripe old age of only six when she began experiencing anxiety attacks, and she learned how to shift out of unconscious patterning using the power of breath. At six years old. She turned her greatest challenge into one of her greatest gifts. And now she really is on a mission to help others do the same no matter where they are in their lives. I personally know her to be such a deep heart based being a true sister goddess on the path, who is such a humble, delightful, and powerful woman. I just love her. I love everything she’s up to in the world. And I’m so excited that she’s here with us today. Dina, welcome to the show, sweetheart.
Dina Leialoha:
Thank you so much Amorahki, what an intro. I’m so delighted to be here with you. And so touched to be having this conversation about something so important to me. It’s been my life’s work. And I really appreciate all the words you just shared. Thank you.
Amorahki:
Honey, so easy, so easy with you. But yeah, I agree. It is an important topic, it is something that seems to have illustrated so many people’s lives. And the consequences. And the suffering out there around anxiety has just been escalating more and more and more, of course, in the face of recent events, and so much uncertainty. So, you know, I am so eager to talk to you of all people today about anxiety as a superpower and really hear more of your lived experience and all the incredible codes and wisdom that you have to share as a result. But But But I’m getting ahead of myself because I’m so excited to hear all about it. I’m so excited to learn more about it and hear some more of your super inspiring journey through it. But before we dive right into deep, and we don’t want to stop, let me just start us off by asking you our favorite question around here. And that is what is one of your superpowers of the soul. Dear Dina, how are you using it for good right now?
Dina Leialoha:
What a powerful question. Oh my gosh, I feel like there’s definitely more than just one about what feels like my current superpower is radical acceptance right now. Because I find that and that’s not an easy one for me, right? Surrendering energy can be a difficult thing. But when it comes to any emotion, any energy in motion, even anxiety, for instance, which is what we’re going to dive into radical acceptance has really been there for me to sort of synthesize that shadow frequency into a more gentle, soft energy. And that’s been the framework for disarming the shadow by radical acceptance. So I’d say that that is my superpower at this moment.
Amorahki:
Oh, my goodness, it’s hot. It is hot. That is really important. But it’s really important. And I feel like it sounds so simple. And it just holds the keys to the universe. It’s kind of one of those ones, you know, where it sounds so simple, and it’s one of the most challenging things sometimes to do. So kudos to you. And bless you for sharing that with everybody. It. I love your words to disarm the shadow. I have a vision of a beautiful lady sort of like dancing around the shadow and disarming the shadow with her just true joy and acceptance and willingness like nothing can stick to her. I’m not sure why I got that vision but I thought I’d share it with you. It’s pretty gorgeous.
Dina Leialoha:
That is gorgeous. Sounds like a painting.
Amorahki:
It does sound like a poem. Yes. All right before we get too creative, I am so excited to get into what I sense will be a conversation for absolutely everyone you know, as I think it’s really safe to say as I said that we all kind of know or know of someone in this world gripped by anxiety these days, don’t we? I mean, it’s so prevalent, it’s so prevalent in our world. And so we’re gonna go ahead and we’re gonna go take our short break right now so that we can really get deep into this subject. I think it’s so important. And I think you have so much to share honey. So, before we cut to break, though, Dina, where is the best place to send people to connect with you and to find out more about you and all the wonderful things you’re up to in the world?
