TRANSCRIPT OF EPISODE
Let’s go on a journey deeper into our bodies, these wondrous instruments we’ve barely begun to understand. By working with your outerbody layers, your bloodstream, and the iron core of earth, you can activate and align your magnetic field with the world around you. It can be quite a trip to experience the impacts this has on your health and consciousness.
Our bodies are evolving. In this podcast we explore a system of meditative exercises that support us to move through this process consciously. Each episode includes discussion about the science of your changing body, as well as a guided journey to expand and adjust your developing light body. Whether you've struggled with quieting your mind or you're an experienced meditator, you can use this work to safely and enjoyably navigate into altered dimensions of experience.
This material has been developed by Saul Goodman, founder of the International School of Shiatsu and the author of The Book of Shiatsu, Shiatsu Shin Tai and Light Body Activation. It can assist you to activate your evolving body and use it to explore different frequencies of activity. I’m Lynn Goodman, Saul’s colleague and wife, and I’ve studied and taught with him for 20 years. As you listen, I encourage you not to believe anything I say. Enter into it with beginner’s mind and find out what’s true for you. These words are merely here to guide you into a direct experience with yourself, and your inner realm should be the primary source of your information and guidance.
You’re probably drawn towards things that expand your knowledge and awareness. Whether it’s meditation, exercise, trainings or treatments, self-development is something you like to do. Your body itself is another option for personal growth. You can learn how to open it up and use it as a direct means to learn, evolve and create. Within the recesses of your very cells is a library of information and experience much vaster than anything you could find outside of yourself. A wild frontier exists inside of you, waiting to be explored.
So often we see our body as something that enables us to do other things that are useful or fun. We dress it, feed it, play with it, put it in the car to go somewhere, use it to pick up a phone to contact a friend, look out of it to read, manipulate its fingers to play a podcast episode and then use its ears to listen to the recorded voice…. everything you do, you do with your body. But what if there’s more to it that’s never really been noticed? You can actually learn how to open up and enter into your body as an instrument of exquisite wonder in and of itself, an instrument that can communicate, travel and create all on its own.
The awareness that this is a possibility is one thing while doing it is another. We can believe our bodies are more powerful than we realize, but not know how to access that power. We may conceptually grasp many so-called truths about other dimensions yet not have a direct experience with them. We can read about chakras all day long, but that doesn’t mean we can actually feel and adjust them. And that’s fine. Intellectual fascination is an experience in and of itself. But it can also lead us into something quite different.
I love to hear someone play the trumpet. Especially jazz. I’ve listened to lots of it over the years. But if I picked up a trumpet myself, no matter how much I’ve listened and loved the sound of it, I would be pretty clueless as to how to play it. That would take a persistent desire to go through a process of learning and practice and experience. I’d have to not only like the trumpet and want to play the trumpet, I’d have to do it. It could be maybe I just want to listen to it, which is pretty great too. And that’s been my choice when it comes to the trumpet.
We can each use our body to do all kinds of things and have all kinds of experiences. But if we have a persistent desire to learn how to develop and ‘play’ it, we enter into it directly and learn how to elevate it’s capabilities to levels not normally experienced. This light body activation material is a system to support you in becoming proficient at accessing and operating your body so that you can use it to travel into new dimensions of activity. This empowers you to more consciously create what you want in your world.
Are you depending on forces outside of yourself in order to feel peaceful, loving and safe? Waiting for a relationship, work situation, income issue or even government leader (ahem….) to change so that you can feel better is a disempowering position in which to place yourself. These things of course affect all of us, but if they are dominant players in directing your life you may want to consider cultivating another way of going about things.
Rather than reacting to what’s going on around you, you can practice organizing yourself from the inside out. You can create more balance within your body, energy system and mindscape. This projects outward to contribute to the co-creation of a harmonic world. It’s a great way to leverage the core of your being towards the materialization of love on this plane. I never know what will unfold as we embark on another journey into our selves, our bodies, our shared world, but I know it will be an empowering experience for me and for you.
Ok, let’s get started. Make sure you have a quiet space to focus where you won’t be disturbed. Put on some comfy clothes, turn off notifications on your phone, and settle in to enjoy your dear self. Here we go….

Conclusion
You’re accessing information from a very primitive, cellular level when you go into your body in the way you just did in the process. You don’t need to figure everything out with your mind right now, just feel. The sensations themselves are information. They will often filter down into intellectual understanding after the actual visceral experience.
It becomes more important to take care of your body as your energy system develops. As higher frequencies begin to stream through your cells, organs, meridians, chakras, and other aspects of your developing light body, they’ll exert more pressure against any restrictions. Here are some ways you can support your physical self to be as clear as possible so that the expanded frequencies don’t cause friction and discomfort:
give yourself good quality fresh food, cooked with love, and eaten in a relaxed manner
trust your inner guidance to lead you to the most optimal supplements, teas, and special treats without getting too rigid about any of it
get plenty of sleep in a dark, quiet room
cultivate nourishing thoughts and beliefs
keep reaching for relief/improvement in how you feel no matter what’s going on around you - contentment is a skill you can practice
Activating your body through these processes can be transformative work. In a way it’s so simple, while also being an extensive system you can use to explore and expand into new dimensions of experience. Doing consciousness activities without some kind of framework to bridge present experience with developing possibilities can be like going climbing without a rope. When someone goes rock climbing, the rope itself is not the experience, but it provides safety in ascending or descending into different elevations. This light body activation material is like a rope or a scaffold. It’s been developed over 35 years of rigorous personal experience to provide a reliable method that can support anyone to safely activate their evolving body and use it to explore different frequencies of activity.
Thanks so much for your presence today. I really enjoy doing this work with you and look forward to another light body activation adventure soon.
