As you learn to bridge mind and body more, you’ll eventually be able to feel sensation without needing to immediately turn it into a thought to undertand it. This is what creates the ability to have the body be an unlimited resource for growth into body as teacher and self as embodied being.
I am a multidimensional being (just like you are by the way). The concepts I share in these videos are a result of years of study and my own practice. Because of this, there is not one specific root to what I teach. The practices you will encounter are based in Energy Medicine, Kundalini Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Dance, and Breathwork. I will do my best to give sources and credit as required. I have found for myself that by engaging in multiple types of movement and philosophies makes it so I can utilize what is right for my body as it changes. You are invited to do the same. Don’t judge what doesn’t work. Just be open to trying something new!
It’s amazing how many of life’s problems can be solved through some sort of mindful embodiment practice. This doesn’t need to be taken very seriously either. It’s just a matter of recognizing that to feel connected in a meaningful way to our lives, we need to feel connected in a meaningful way to our bodies. Step by step, slowing down and playing with the myriad of techniques that exist to support this process is what I am using Substack to teach.
All of my embodiment posts are meant to be easy to access and non stressful teaching platforms that incorporate the vital concept of becoming alive to your own body.
Welcome to the sixth lesson in my series teaching you simple steps towards Embodiment or, as I like to call it:
Embodiment Practices and Teachings for Less Than 15 Minutes A Day!
Before I go too much further, I invite you to like my work, add a comment, or share this post. That’s how us writing folk gain an audience for the work we do.
To actively start to engage in any embodiment practice, it’s important to gain more and more tools that support your own capacity to consciously breathe. This means PRACTICE. AND practice in my world means PLAY!
By engaging in these short videos with a mind that is willing to just relax and let go and open to see what happens, you will start to bridge that ever so important connection between your brain and sensations in your body that go beyond thoughts.
This post uses a simple technique of creating expectation in the body and witnessing your body’s response. It’s a learning game here to figure out how you uniquely react to change. There are so many ways to play with this exercise. You can use it to learn how you resist change. You can use it to learn how you rush through change. You can use it to learn how you create a mind experience to avoid the sensation of change. The technique I am sharing with you today is one that I played with for over 7 years. In the course of that time, I got so many answers from my body and the sensations in it around my own capacity to sit and be instead of think and act. It’s one of those fun activities you can do anytime you want without any prep. I hope you enjoy it.
I am currently working on classes to embellish my embodiment series, so don’t worry if you aren’t called to subscribe to my substack. You’ll be able to purchase a class down the road with extended teachings, videos, exercises, and philosophies.
