All of my embodiment lessons incorporate the vital concept of becoming alive to your own body without having to take a lot of time to do it.
Welcome to the eighth 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.
Today’s lesson utilizes a simple breathing technique to invite your higher self into your body. This time of year, as the days get shorter and shorter (in the Northern Hemisphere), invites us to connect with our own inner mystery. We come into the self to be able to discover what the longer days have in store for our creative energies and life pulse. It can be too easy to fall into depression or the lure of over stimulating holiday socializing. You are being called into something deeper though…your embodied spiritual self.
I recommend using this breath practice to remember that you are more than your physical reality. By allowing yourself time to contract into your spiritual self, you are embracing the energy of nature.
There is a bonus for my paid subscribers in this post. You’ll get the opportunity to engage in a longer meditation practice using this breath (scroll all the way down). Let me know if you like the longer format…so that I’ll offer it more often to you.

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!
I hope you enjoyed these videos. Thank you for watching, breathing, and embodying with me. The world needs you.
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.
I welcome any feedback you have in regards to what you want more of, less of, or any questions that develop.
