Feel It. Name It. Move It.
A guided, soul-centered experience for working with emotion through reflection and creative expression
Before You Begin
This replay offers a gentle, soul-centered experience designed to help you slow down, tune inward, and work with your emotions in a compassionate, embodied way.
Feel It. Name It. Move It. was created as an interactive webinar—especially supportive during emotionally full or overwhelming seasons—when many of us feel disconnected, emotionally stuck, or in need of grounding.
In this experience, Michal Spiegelman and Leah Guzman guide you through reflection, guided meditation, and creative expression to help you notice what you’re feeling, name it without judgment, and allow it to move with care rather than force.
A live poll during the webinar revealed that many participants were holding heavy or stuck emotions, overthinking without relief, and longing to feel clearer and more grounded—needs this experience was designed to meet.
You’ll be guided through a soul-centered inner practice to connect with an emotion and listen for its wisdom, followed by an art-based process that gives feelings form, color, and movement. This combination of somatic awareness, spiritual reflection, and creative expression helps emotions soften, shift, and integrate naturally.
To get the most from this replay, give yourself permission to move slowly. This is not something to rush or multitask through.
What you’ll want nearby:
A journal or paper, a pen, and any coloring tools you enjoy (markers, colored pencils, or watercolors).
Allow this to be a pause. A place to breathe, feel, and reconnect with yourself before returning to the rest of your day.
Main Topics Covered
- What “soul” means (as lived experience, essence, spirit, authenticity—participants share definitions in chat)
- Emotional patterns many people learned growing up: avoiding, suppressing, escaping, numbing
- Michal’s framing of emotions as “soul signals” (messages calling for attention rather than problems to eliminate)
- Why emotions can feel “stuck” and how compassion helps them move through the body and nervous system
- A guided somatic + spiritual practice (breath, body scan, naming the emotion, asking for its lesson)
- Creative expression as emotional processing (container drawing + color + marks to represent intensity/frequency + an outer ring for desired emotional state)
- Community reflection/sharing: participants show artwork and describe insights (e.g., anxiety + desire for warmth/joy; worry/fear + a lesson to soften into love)
Key Highlights & Insights from Michal Spiegelman
- Definition of the soul: the pure essence of who we are—“the divine spark” that is always awake, always wise, always present, even when life is not okay.
- Soul purpose vs. human preference: the human self wants comfort; the soul is here to experience the full range of the human condition. No emotions are “bad”—some are simply uncomfortable.
- “Soul signals”: emotions are messengers calling for attention (frustration, sadness, confusion, numbness, fear, etc.).
- Compassion is the doorway: meeting emotions with compassion can reveal deeper layers and support healing.
- Mind–body connection: “trapped emotions” can contribute to physical symptoms or intensify conditions; releasing them can create ripple effects like calmer nervous system, better sleep, more stability (shared through Michal’s lens as a medical intuitive + healer).
- Core inquiry: after naming an emotion, ask: “What is this feeling here to teach me?” Answers may come as a word, memory, sensation, or later insight—no forcing.
Key Highlights & Insights from Leah Guzman
- Creative expression as emotional wellbeing: consistent art practice supports mental/emotional health; it’s less about “pretty” and more about presence and insight.
- Art as a safe container: participants create an organic shape (a “container”) to hold the feeling—imperfect and intuitive is encouraged.
- Color as emotional language: choose a color (or several) that matches the “soul signal,” then fill it—an act of honoring the emotion.
- Resonance marks: add a ring outside the container and fill it with lines/dots/waves that represent the emotion’s frequency (sharp, choppy, smooth, expansive, etc.).
- Duality is welcome: create an additional outer ring and fill it with color representing how you want to feel (grounded, peaceful, warm, clear), allowing both the current feeling and the desired state to coexist.
- Reflective prompts: Leah shares journaling questions (referenced as being posted in chat) to translate the artwork into personal meaning and next steps.
After You Finish Watching
Before moving on with your day, take a few quiet moments to notice what shifted inside you. You may want to return to your journal or artwork, add a few words, colors, or marks, or simply sit with your breath.
There is no need to analyze or fix anything—what matters is allowing what surfaced to be acknowledged and integrated.
Trust that whatever you felt or discovered continues to unfold in its own time. Be gentle with yourself as you transition back into the rest of your day, carrying forward even a small sense of clarity, grounding, or self-compassion.
