I Am... With Jonny Wilkinson

Jonny on… The Balance Between the Mind and the Body


Listen Later

Today Jonny digs deeper into the concept of embodiment proposed and practised by Rachael Hall, an elite ballet dancer who left the stage to explore Buddhism, Pilates and the Franklin method. Rachel guests on the main episode this Thursday. This episode though is all about balance and the power of releasing ourselves from the mind and rooting back in the body. Jonny investigates the impending conflict to come from letting the mind lead us when going after our goals. As well as this, Jonny draws on his own experiences in rugby and the importance of vulnerability and intuition in personal growth and fulfillment exploring the immensity of the heart and its role along the way.

Big topics explored today:
- The importance of embodiment and being present in the moment, especially in achieving goals.
- The balance between mind and body, and the dangers of leaning too much towards thinking and reasoning.
- The tendency to prioritise safety and comfort over vulnerability and intuition, and the need to welcome and explore fear and doubt.
- The conflict between the head and the heart when seeking fulfilment, the importance of being authentic and true to oneself and how we might shift in this direction of beauty and grace.
