Bodies.

What a loaded concept, amirite? I’ve been thinking and reflecting and processing my feelings about my body, other people’s feelings about their bodies, and the general concept of living in a body.

My word for 2021 is embodiment. I spent the greater part of my life not fully living in my body. If you’d asked me a few years ago, I wouldn’t have understood what *living* in a body meant. I existed in my body. It was there, but my mind, and occasionally my heart controlled the whole show. In the past years, I’ve become familiar with my body. I listen to it. I drop my awareness to the present moment of the ongoing experiences I am having in my body.

It has not been a linear process and the reality of embodiment continues to evolve for me. What I do know is this:

✨ All bodies can be lived in, fully.
✨ My mental relationship with my body improves when I’m physically aware of it. ‘Drop your awareness to ____ ’ is more than just a yoga catch-phrase, it’s an action.
✨I’ve spent most of my life thinking I’m the last one to the body-awareness party. I have a really hard time conceptualizing my body at times.
✨ There is a way to return to our bodies. Truly there is.

Interested in the idea of embodying your body?

Neat. It’s a pretty cool thing. And on that note, I am so excited to begin a coaching course this month teaching body-centered techniques for improving our lives, our relationships, our health, and our overall well-being. It feels scary and big and delightful, all at once. It may change my career, it may not, but I know it’ll change my life. So, yeah. That’s it. Stay tuned here or maybe sign up for my newsletter, cause ya just never know I might start sending one out.
