WHAT IS EMBODIMENT AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LIVE A FULL LIFE?

Embodiment is fully inhabiting your physical body which leads to experiencing life at its fullest. How much of your body are you actually inhabiting? How present do you really feel?

When you are embodied, your emotional intelligence increases, you are more self aware, and increase the ability to self regulate and respond vs react to life.

Through embodiment we:

• Develop awareness of our inner world 

• Learn how to self regulate and control our emotional state

• Liberate our body from the linear, rigid habits of daily life in the modern world.

• Slow down & become present with ourselves.

• Release tension or rigidity, and begin to shift the focus from how it looks to how it feels.

• Heightening awareness, on sensations of feelings & thoughts

• Explore how to consciously breathe, relax, and focus mind. 

When you are embodied you are able to experience life to its fullest capacity. When you are embodied you are able to navigate life with more ease, because when you are connected to your bodies cues, and the intelligence that exists within the body. Your intuition lies within your body, and is communicating with you all the time.

The various traumas or painful experience that we experiences in our life, often cause us to dissociate from our bodies as a protective mechanism. We numb out and actually split from the body, getting caught up in our mind. The mind is what races backwards and forwards, creating anxiety and depression. When we are embodied we are also able to self regulate and respond vs react to life. We are in the present moment.

Embodiment is reclaiming your birthright of being in a body in this lifetime, that allows you to be a full participant in this life.

Embodiment is also the quickest bath to spirit and to manifestation. When we embody an essence, our energy matches that frequency which then magnetizes all that is a vibrational match. You arr sending out waves into the world, and when you lack body awareness, you may be unconsciously creating misalignment in your reality.

The more you practice embodiment the more you can claim your power in this lifetime.
