S1 | E3 Jonathan Tripodi - Body Memory

Author: Matt Kosterman June 21, 2025 Duration: 1:16:58

It was late 2019 and, in spite of a lot of personal growth work, including a beautiful solo psilocybin journey, guided MDMA journey with an underground therapist and a 12 day Ayahausca retreat in the Ecuadoran Andes, I was still in excrutiating physical pain. I was guided to Jonathan Tripodi, mystical fascial magician and talented astrologer by a power greater than myself. A five day intensive that ended three days before the 2020 Covid lockdowns gave me a great deal of relief and left me well-equipped to navigate the next six months and beyond.
Tune in for an expansive conversation with Jonathan, creator of Body Memory Recall (BMR) where we explore the profound wisdom held within the human body. Jonathan shares his journey from athletic performance and massage therapy to a spontaneous emotional awakening that changed everything. That moment revealed to him what so many of us miss: that the body is not just a vessel—it’s a living archive of every experience we’ve never fully felt. From that awareness, Jonathan developed a somatic healing modality that helps people access and release the unconscious memories, traumas, and emotions stored in their tissues.
Our conversation uncovers the deeper truth about pain, memory, and the body’s capacity for transformation. We discuss why surrender—not control—is the key to healing, how breath and gentle touch can unlock what the mind cannot access, and why true freedom often begins with vulnerability. Whether you’re holding onto pain you can’t explain, or you’ve tried to think your way to healing and hit a wall, this episode offers a radically different approach: drop into the body, trust its timing, and allow what’s ready to rise. This is an invitation to feel what’s been waiting, and to finally let it go.

Special Guest: Jonathan Tripodi.


For fifteen years, a deep healing journey has been the central thread of my life, weaving through everything from personal growth books and meditation to psychedelics, bodywork, and Tantric retreats. That path, filled with explorations of chakras, Human Design, and channeled works, is what I bring to The Permission Slip. This isn't a lecture hall; it's the continuation of those spontaneous, sometimes surprising conversations I tend to start with relative strangers about consciousness and transformation. Each episode feels like granting yourself the space to explore the edges of your own understanding. You'll hear genuine dialogues that delve into the practical and the profound, questioning how we heal, grow, and perceive reality itself. The aim of this podcast is to normalize these wide-ranging explorations, offering a sense of companionship for anyone curious about the tools and perspectives that challenge conventional self-improvement. It’s for those who find resonance in spirituality, health, and alternative education, and who are looking for a candid voice that has been there, digging through the layers. Tune in for a mix of personal reflection and external insight, all centered on the idea that sometimes what we need most is simply the permission to look inward and explore.
