Embodiment is allowing our heart, mind, and body to exist as one miraculous skin
The word embodiment points us towards the relation with our physical body and – most important – with our bodies capacity to feel.
The body is equipped with an autonomous function that supports our life without our consciousness having to drive it. This function is regulated by the autonomic nervous system. The body also has a more subtle function connected to our consciousness, that is to feel what is happening. Feeling is what informs our responses, our movements and facilitates digesting the emotional content of our lives.
