Embodying The Light & The Dark With Marina Savic Baines

In this conversation, I sit down with Marina Savic-Baines - Embodiment & Nervous System Alchemist, founder of Nervous System Energetics™, and guest facilitator at The Arabian Nights Retreat - for a raw, real conversation about her story, her work, and why breath might be the most powerful bridge we have. We talk about Marina's upbringing in Serbia through war, scarcity and isolation - and the bathroom-floor moment that changed the trajectory of her entire life. We go deep into conscious connected breathwork: what it actually is, why it's ancient rather than new, and how it can access a layer of consciousness the thinking mind can't reach alone. And we talk about why getting out of your head and into your heart isn't just personal work - it's collective work. This conversation is also a window into what's waiting for you at The Arabian Nights Retreat - three days, off-grid in the Dubai desert, for high-conscious founders, leaders and investors ready to access a higher state of consciousness and embodiment. Marina returns as a guest facilitator this November, guiding breathwork and integration inside the retreat itself. **In this episode, you'll hear:** ✨ Marina's story: growing up through war and instability in Serbia ✨ The bathroom-floor question that changed everything ✨ Why breath is medicine — and the bridge between body, mind and spirit ✨ Conscious connected breathwork explained ✨ Why "take, take, take" energy makes us sick - individually and collectively ✨ What's waiting inside The Arabian Nights Retreat this November Explore **Explore Frankie's Services:** ✨ The Arabian Nights Retreat: Dubai · 13–15 November 2026 · By invitation or application only https://www.self-sourced.com/arabian-nights-retreat-self-sourced ✨ The Self Sourced Daily Ritual Kit for $33 https://www.self-sourced.com/offers/crb2erxb **Connect With Marina and her work through:** ✨ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/marina-savic-baines/ ✨ Her website - https://thrivewithmarina.com/
