The Beauty of Embodiment

                       

Hi there my fellow wonderful human beings,

Back again with another subject. This time diving in deeper with Embodiment and its healing abilities for our nervous system. Embodiment is a form of Somatic Therapy. Somatic therapy is a holistic approach towards healing. To dive deeper into Somatic healing or therapy, you can refer to the previous post that was all about it. Embodiment explores the connection between our body, mind and energy (emotions). Embodiment is used as a tool for mental health and recovering from trauma or even working through difficult emotions.

I will insert a diagram below that will illustrate how embodiment works.

Embodiment is remarkable therapy that allows us to connect to our bodies and truly feel the sensation we are feeling and provides a mechanism on how to cope with difficult emotions. It ranges from exercise to dance to yoga to tai chi to even seated meditation. It anything that allows us to mindfully connect to our bodies and the emotions and sensations we are experiencing. A prime example is when I experience anxiety, I enjoy going running. Anxiety is an emotional/energetic reaction to an experience that makes me feel threatened. To get the emotions or energy out of my body, I go running until I feel better. In this way embodiment therapy is commonly used for mental health or traumatic experiences. It is the more holistic approach which allows us to understand ourselves on a deeper level.

Contemporary dance is a great form of embodiment. Dance is a excellent way to work through your emotions and also allows you to remove the emotions/ energy out of your body. Music has been shown to have powerful effect on healing. The brain just lights right up. Music also aids in embodiment practices.

I hope this helps you in some way. Please feel free to share this post with however you feel it will help.
