Getting Out of Your Head and Into Your Body
Manage episode 371362138 series 3486402
In this episode we discuss the importance of getting out of your head and into your body to find balance and contentment in life.
Being in your body means you can be present to feel emotions, acknowledge them and move on.
Today we share HOW to do this, with a simple embodiment practice which helps you feel safe in your body and process discomfort, physical and/or emotional.
It was a pleasure to take you through the embodiment meditation today. Here are some brief steps for you to do when you practice this through your week. Aim for 3 times a week, more if things are coming up in your spiritual journey.
Embodiment practice – How to get out of your head and into your body:
- Take 3 deep breaths
- Connect with any sensation in your body – e.g. heavy, sticky, tingly, painful
- Breath in to expand that physical feeling and any emotions that go with it
- Breath out to release the physical feeling and/or any emotions that go with it
We can only feel an emotion for 90 secs to 2 mins so do it for that amount of time, it can be slightly longer if you have thoughts popping into your head. If you notice your thinking brain is on, acknowledge the thought, then come back to the physical sense in your body.
- Finish when you are feeling light but grounded.
- You can even ask yourself “What can I do to feel more like myself (or my highest self) today” or “What does my body want from me today” and see if any guidance comes through.
- Open your eyes.
