EMBODIMENT LESSON #7: The Sound of Silence

One Simple Breathing Technique and The Mind Goes Quiet

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.

We are ever changing beings who need to get more comfortable with the nature of our own transformative self.

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!

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 seventh 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 commit to 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 time around, I’m introducing the concept of a quiet mind as a doorway into the body. So often in life we rush through everything. We all know in theory we are moving too fast but in such fast paced lives, taking the time to find quiet is a task that is simply way too overwhelming to engage in. I am not going to write about why we need silence. Nope. Instead, I am going to share with you an incredibly simple breathing technique that creates silence without all the work.

Three minutes to quiet the mind? Really. That’s all it takes. Then you just get to coast into the silence without working so hard to find it. Who knows what you will find?
