Tapping into your body intelligence


We live busy, stressed lives which means many of us are living in alienation and fragmentation with ourselves and others.

Embodied living is about bringing all levels of ourself into alignment and harmony (we are like an onion, with many layers or sheaths) with one another; bringing us to integration and wholeness. Freedom is the ultimate goal, a blissful worry-free existence of integration and balance.

To begin we must repair the schizm between the physical body and the mind. Many people use their bodies so little, or with such lack of awareness, that they lose sensitivity of bodily awareness. However consciousness itself originates in our bodies and without this awareness we are only using a tiny atom of vast intelligence and sensitivity available to us.

In Embodied Living we initially work through the body to change the mind. First, stress must be overcome and resilience built. When we are thus energised yet relaxed we are ready for the exploration.

Then, by bringing the sensitivity of the body and the intelligence of the brain and the heart into harmony we begin to tap into a fuller consciousness.

The cranial brain becomes more receptive, our consciousness evolves and we reach our soul. The higher levels of Embodied Living open us up to deep bliss, wholeness and connection with ourselves and the world. But the foundations are built in the physical body.

By extending our physical body we expand our mind. This helps us develop a sensitivity and receptivity toward life which we are yet only dimly aware.
