How to Be a Better Human: The meaning of embodiment


Listen Later

We can often forget that our bodies and minds are fundamentally connected, despite the fact that so much of our day-to-day lives are influenced by the state of our bodies. In this episode of How to Be a Better Human, another podcast from the TED Audio Collective, Prentis Hemphill, a therapist, somatics teacher, author, and the founder of The Embodiment Institute, joins host Chris Duffy to talk through what it means to be fully present in your body. They also chat about how embodiment can improve your understanding of yourself – and the world around you.
