First of all, what is #embodiment? I have to tell you the truth I didn't know until I saw a few facilitators at The Embodiment Conference a few weeks ago. Embodiment is feeling your #body. We experience, feel, think, relate, take action through our bodies. Mark Walsh, the founder of The Embodiment Conference, organised this once in a lifetime event (500.000 people participated) a few weeks ago as a response to the great #need #humanity has for #connectivity. The way towards #authentic #connections to others and to Mother Nature is by being connected to our bodies. The body has its own #wisdom and #knowledge that we have forgotten to listen to. The argument is that if you are disembodied, wholly disconnected from your body, then there is no #empathy, and the path towards cruelty is open. God knows we need more #compassion at the moment!
I find it very relevant to the current situation where we have social distancing rules to follow, we spend more and more time on endless zoom meetings, connecting with our brains, while ignoring the body until it hurts. I know I have been abusing my body for a while now. It is a crazy year, that is my excuse. However, the real reason is that I got used to using my body, without listening to the signs and leaving it last on my #priority list. More importantly, I forgot that listening to my body and lovingly caring for it can heal #traumas, change harmful #patterns and anxieties that I store inside.
If you are interested in learning about embodied practices related to #trauma, #business, #dancing, #movement, #martial, #healing #arts, #leadership, #coaching, #therapy, #intimacy, #ecology, #meditation, and #yoga, then look no further.
