Are you a people pleaser? It's on trend to admit it these days but is that just a people pleasing tactic to be liked even more? There's even a song about it by Cat Burns in the UK and USA music charts.

Maybe you know someone who is consistently pleasing the dynamics of the room. Mark goes through the people pleasing indications and throws in his usual comedy bits and impersinations - to help it sink in. Humour is the best medicine.

From 'Best of the Embodiment Conference'. A conversation with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Don Hanlon Johnson - not to be missed.

Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) is an integrated approach to transformative experience through movement re-education and hands-on repatterning. Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, it is an experiential study based on the embodiment and application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical, and developmental principles, and utilizes movement, touch, voice, and consciousness. This study leads to an understanding of how the mind is expressed through the body and the body through the mind.

Body-Mind Centering® has an almost unlimited number wide areas of application. It is currently being used by people in movement, dance, yoga, bodywork, physical and occupational therapy, psychotherapy, child development, education, voice, music, art, meditation, athletics, and other body-mind disciplines.

Please visit the Body-Mind Centering® website for more information.

Bonnie's Bio

Bonnie is a movement artist, researcher, educator, and therapist, and the developer of the Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) approach to movement, the body, and consciousness. For over 50 years, I've been exploring the anatomical, embryological, and developmental foundations of movement and how they relate to our psychophysical processes and wellbeing.

Don's Bio

I have spent nearly half a century studying how transformative body practices can enhance personal and social change, and how they can impair it. I came to these practices out of a study of philosophy, which luminously articulates the disastrous social and personal results of the mind/body split enbedded in mainstream thinking and institution-building. I have tried to find methods for healing these splits in the academic world of writing, pedagogy, and research; in the personal realm of self-cultivation; and in the larger world of social change. At the deepest level, I look to these practices as a source of a spirituality grounded in the flesh of human yearning. My work is centered in the graduate degree programs in Somatics at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.

Coach Michael Mason joins me Mark Walsh to talk about fitness in middle age, martial arts, Japan, longevity, situational awareness, body guarding, the carnivore diet and how to start it, mindset, gut biomes, different types of meat, doctor's bad advice, and how to maintain testosterone levels.

Intermediate meditation from an embodied and dharmic perspectice rooted in buddhism. Mark talks buddhism, dharma, meditation and concentration or mindfulness directed toward the body and lived experience of the body. Integration into the world as more than a meat suit when practiced rather than transcendental, lucid living, realisation or beyond body experiences of the more yogic traditions of Tantra, Vedic, Hatha and more.
