87. You are your body


Listen Later

Do you often feel disconnected from your physical self? Are you more critical of your body than appreciative? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the profound relationship we have with our bodies.

Join me as I explore the common experience of body disconnection in Western society and the cultural and religious influences that contribute to this separation.

In this episode:

The concept of being a body:

  •    Understanding the profound shift from "having" a body to "being" a body.
  •    The impact of this mindset on your overall well-being and self-perception.
  • Mind-body connection:

    •   Exploring how the mind and body are inseparably linked.
    •  Modern science's recognition of the gut as the "second brain" and its implications for our understanding of consciousness.
    • Cultural and societal influences:

      •    How Western culture and certain religious interpretations contribute to body disconnection and disassociation.
      •    The role of the beauty and marketing industry in perpetuating body dissatisfaction.
      • The miracle of the human body:

        •  Celebrating the complexity and cooperation of the trillions of cells that make up your body.
        •   Reflecting on the biological marvel that enables us to live and thrive.
        • Practical exercises for reconnection:

          •   Techniques for shifting your focus from incessant thinking to the sensations of your inner body.
          •   The benefits of integrating body gratitude and awareness into your routine. 
          • Let’s connect!
