Embodiment: Are you a brain or a body?

 
 

Am I my brain or my body? Turns out bodies are probably crucial parts of our intelligence. So let’s get embodied! Embalmed? no. Balmed? Yes. Bammed? Bam! That’s it! 
Embodiment on Decko
This concept reminds us to return to form, the body, the structure, and support.
Thrivability is not an abstract idea to simply and only be imagined. It is a yearning for a lived experience in the body, in your body, in our collective body, in the physical form of the world. Thrivability is not purely materialist in the sense of only focusing on the form either though. Thrivability doesn't assume the mind and awareness live inside nerve cells in the head.
Embodiment, as differentiated from materialist approaches to mind, allows us to have the full sensory awareness of our bodies to what is outside us (through the five usual senses) and also of the awareness of what is inside us. Our gut feels, magnetic pulls, heart sensations, muscle tiredness, and all the other sensations that create an experience of embodiment. Thrivability requires embracing our bodies as sensory organs, and wonders what more is there to be felt, what magic lives in us that goes beyond atoms and neurons.
We will be launching Thrivable You Salon Series later this month! We are so excited! If you want to explore how you can get embodied and be more thrivable, as you are, then come join us!
