Welcome to the first episode of The Five Dimensions of Self. Today, we explore physical intelligence—the body’s innate wisdom—and how building body awareness can lay the groundwork for personal growth and healing. We’ll dive into somatic writing as a tool to access and express this intelligence, and how the Chosn audio journaling app supports this process. By enabling real-time vocal expression, Chosn helps users articulate bodily sensations and emotions, strengthening the mind-body connection and aiding in healing.

Join us as we uncover how listening to your body can open powerful new paths to self-understanding and well-being.
