Summary

What can we learn about ourselves when we go through a separation from another? It’s easy to feel strong when things are working, but what about when things aren't?

There is valuable opportunity given to us that only present themselves when relationships fall apart–The opportunity to navigate through the deep layers of ourselves. But how do we actually navigate through these layers?

In this conversation, Aubrey Marcus and his wife Vylana - two of my very favourite people - answer the questions I have on separation from someone you love (or feel deeply about), as it's something I currently am going through in my own life. Plus, they discuss why “wounds allows the light to enter”, and how truly loving ourselves is the best tool for facing a broken heart.

Aubrey is the founder of ONMIT, a NYT bestselling author, the AMP podcast host, and founding member of Fit For Service Fellowship.

Vylana is a sound alchemist, singer, Tahitian dancer, and medicine woman.

What we discuss:

[00:07:09] Aaron's current context
[00:12:17] Love autonomy
[00:18:56] Using the pain of a separation to growth
[00:22:35] Facing and accepting fear
[00:27:37] Self-love practices
[00:40:38] Trust in acceptance
[00:45:25] Expediting the process of accepting events within ourselves
[00:51:22] Why current life events show you where there is still work to be done

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Lyme podcast. My name is Aaron Alexander. This is a place that we
0:05.0	bring together the world's leading experts in all things health and wellness to
0:08.2	help you optimize your mind, body, and movement. This particular conversation is with two of my most preferred human beings in the world.
0:17.2	Aubrey Marcus and his beautiful wife, Vylana. This conversation was a particularly capturing essentially like a low moment in my existence
0:27.6	where I was feeling all the feels as I'm moving or was moving and I guess continually moving through a separation with a person that I cared very deeply for and so Aubrey and Vai have been acting as like a support group for me in all sorts of ways.
0:44.1	I'm not just with this one situation, but many situations for less several years.
0:48.8	And so I thought it would be interesting to capture yet another fairly radically mushy vulnerable moment in my life and put myself up on the
0:59.6	chopping board for y'all to dissect and witness how weak I really can be. It's been a very
1:09.6	fascinating experience. It's very easy to feel strong and feel like you got everything going on,
1:17.0	everything under control when things are working and things are easy.
1:22.0	And if that's your whole life,
1:25.0	you're missing out on the opportunities of actually going deeper into the layers of
1:32.0	yourself that only present themselves through things that you would try to push away typically and so I find with my own self that my tendency is to
1:42.3	unless I'm essentially like pinned down to face my own shit, I will
1:46.6	divert and avoid and walk around until I'm forced to do it.
1:53.0	And I think relationship, there is not a better medium to face your own stuff.
1:59.0	And so I wanted to capture this experience.
2:03.1	The moment I was like I mentioned I was
2:06.0	I think a pretty low point during this conversation which was actually why I
2:09.5	wanted to record it.
2:11.2	It's a little bit masochistic and strange, but you know fuck it. So very interesting to get to have Aubrey and Vai who are just like some of the best mentors that I could have in my life
2:25.8	Be able to share their wisdom with you guys and so I hope you guys
