WHAT IS EMBODIMENT?

The definition of embodiment is “the state of being embodied” or in the body. Embodiment as a practice and what I teach is taking an approach to healing (a feminine approach) working from the body. It is living life by allowing the body to be the main communicator over the mind. And embodying is a feminine approach because the feminine moves from the body vs from a linear masculine approach where everything is straight forward and from the mind.

It might look something like this…you move through life listening to the language of your body, you have the tools to move stuck emotions out so that you can feel more present and more pleasure.

As a culture we’ve become so out of touch with nature and the feminine way of being. We’ve been taught to go, go, go and not honor the moments of slowness that our body is craving so deeply and we end up out of balance both mentally and physically. Often times we feel guilt or shame when it comes to putting ourselves first deeming it selfish and not important. Any kind of inflammation in the body is a signal to bring the attention and care back to ourselves.

We can tune into the cycles in nature that are qualities of the feminine creative energy to flow naturally with your feminine cycles and rhythms.

sleep, stress, pleasure, digestion can all be thrown out of balance when it comes to not living in flow with nature’s cyles and rhythms.

You can eat allllll the broccoli in the world and drink allll the green juice but unless you’re being nourished in these primary foods: relationships, pleasure, purpose, movement, sensuality and spirituality these are the things that nourish your soul, you are being malnourished and it leads to inflammation and “dis-ease” in the body.
