Somatic Integration Hands-on Healing

What does it mean to be embodied? 

Embodiment is ultimately a subjective experience, here is how I would define it for myself: Embodiment moves beyond a simple internal and external awareness of our bodies. Embodiment is feeling at home inside your own body, while simultaneously feeling integrated into your environment. 

l experience embodiment as a deep internal contact with my core, and a full experience of my aliveness, in which I’m able to inhabit myself throughout my whole body and feel myself living within my feet, legs, pelvis, heart, head, hands, and so on. I feel rooted into the ground, and enjoy a sense of support from my feet and pelvis. I’m attuned to the quality of awareness, emotion and physical sensation inside of my body as well within the energetic and relational field. I’m aware of my breath and how it acts on my system. I have a felt sense of my substantialness; I feel a unified wholeness throughout my body, while also being conscious of the relationships inside me so there is no separation between my body and myself. One could think of it as “whole-body, whole-being integration”. Experiencing oneself in this way can open us into the experience of oneness with the environment around us. Being embodied helps me stay in touch with the physicality of my emotions, which in turn lends itself to a greater capacity for authentic interpersonal connection. I’m able to feel what’s true for me at any given moment.
