Embodiment is the practice of bringing awareness to our bodily sensations, our thoughts and emotions.
We are alive through our bodies; being embodied is central to all living processes. Our bodies are not merely passive containers that serve the needs of our minds: our physical form is the result of millions of years of evolution, an intricate intelligence of dynamic form and complex interconnected systems.
Throughout our lifetime we are engaged in a perpetual dance of becoming.
