Explorations through Inner Space

A brief meditation for embodiment

Embodiment is your first person experience of the body, in this world. It’s a subjective sense of wholeness, a sense of being “at home” and at one with who you are. Inhabiting the body is not just a matter of being aware or scanning the body -- embodiment is actually living within your body, being present, and being aware not just of the body, but as the body. The body is your instrument of experience, including perception, thought, emotion, sensation & action. It is your gateway to the here and now, because your body is always in the present moment.

Deep satisfaction & meaningful connection only happen when you are present.

When you are embodied, you get to question the stories you tell about yourself and others. You begin to notice what is alive and resonating in you right now, and ask yourself “Why am I absencing instead of presencing right now?” When grounded through embodiment, even when triggered and “reactive”, you have the capacity to observe your own thoughts/behaviors & start to reshape them. Once you’ve developed a strong sense of wholeness and comfort within the body, you can start to experience a deep and meaningful connection with the world around you, while still inhabiting your body. The body is your greatest sense organ, and once tuned into these senses, you can start to feel your body and the surroundings at the same time. You start to feel as though you’re made of space, and that everything around you is made of space as well. You begin to experience your own presence & aliveness, while simultaneously experiencing the aliveness in everyone and everything around you.
