Hi, it's Elise Loonen, host of Pulling the Thread.

Today I'm talking to a brilliant and wonderful teacher, Katie Hendricks.

Hi, it's Elise Lunan host of Pulling the Thread.

On this show, we pull apart the web in which we all live to understand who we are and why we're here.

My hope is that these conversations spark moments of resonance and plant tiny seeds of awareness so that we might all collectively learn and grow.

Here is today's guest, Katie Hendricks, on Fear Melters, which are tools she developed

to help us work with instead of against our fear.

And what Fear Melters also do is they wake up your body intelligence so that you're

able to get messages from yourself because really authentic messages don't yell at you. Most of the time

people have critical thoughts. You know, their thoughts are mostly critical. And what I've noticed is that my actual guidance, when it comes

from inside, it bubbles up and it's quiet. And it's usually very simple and it doesn't repeat.

And so if I'm all, yeah, I'm full of static and I'm not going to hear it, you know, I'm not going to be able to take advantage of it.

And so opening up to, hmm, what does my body have to say?

Many of you will be familiar with Katie Hendricks and her husband Gay, who run the Hendricks Institute together.

Katie's work is vast, but essentially she

helps people use their bodies innate intelligence, and she helps people get friendly with the

unknown, as she says today. Katie and I talk about how to befriend and work with fear because,

well, we can't really conquer fear or get rid of it. Katie takes us through her fear melters for when we get

caught in flight, feebly. Katie takes us through her fear melters for when we get caught in fight,

flee, freeze, or faint mode. In the show notes on my substack, I'll also link to these physical

movements so you can start experimenting with them.
