Episode 17: Coming Home to the Body - Embodiment, Lived Wisdom & the Practice of Presence

This is The Wisdom Path – where inner knowing becomes lived truth.

Welcome to The Wisdom Path Podcast. In this unscripted microdose episode, Rosie Peacock explores the theme of embodiment and what it truly means to live in alignment with our inner wisdom.

Speaking from the heart while walking through the ancient woods of Blickling, Rosie reflects on her own lifelong journey of returning to the body. In a world that prizes thinking over feeling, doing over being, and knowledge over integration, this episode invites us into a slower, deeper rhythm. One that honours the body as a sacred teacher and home.

Through personal story, somatic reflection, and grounded insight, Rosie explores how embodiment is both a physical experience and a spiritual path. It is not about perfection, but about remembering – and choosing again and again to return.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• What embodiment really means – beyond aesthetics or theory

• The difference between knowing something and living it

• How overwork and distraction can be culturally acceptable forms of dissociation

• Why our body holds the clearest guidance – and how to listen to it

• The path of feminine descent – embodiment as a return to womb-wisdom

• Embodiment as spiritual practice – not something we achieve, but something we return to

Key Quotes:

• “Disembodiment is a sense of hiding from yourself. And embodiment is the return.”

• “Our bodies are like dowsing rods for truth. But only if we slow down enough to feel.”

• “Wisdom that is not lived is not wisdom. It’s just information.”

• “We are not here to transcend the body. We are here to descend into it. To feel everything.”

Resources Mentioned:

• Yoga & The Dark Night of The Soul – as lived by spiritual teacher and author Simon Haas

• The Book of Dharma – as lived by spiritual teacher and author Simon Haas

• Positive Psychology – the difference between hedonic and eudaimonic happiness

• Meditation and mindfulness as the practice of remembering and forgetting

Takeaway for Listeners:

Embodiment is a choice to live from the inside out. It’s not about being perfect or always present. It’s about learning how to return. Again and again.

Journalling Prompts

• Where in your life are you overriding your body’s truth?

• When was the last time you asked your body what it needed?

• What wisdom have you been carrying but not yet living?
