What is embodiment as a coach let alone embodiment made simple?

“Freedom does not mean escape from the world; it means transformation of our whole way of being, our mode of embodiment, within the lived world
itself”

—Varela, Rosch & Thompson, The Embodied Mind

Have you ever wanted to understand more about embodiment? Or how to become more embodied? Perhaps you’d like more info on why you might want to be more embodied? And what does it mean for us a coaches? Or leaders? These are all important inquiries to raise. And if you’ve looked around our material at all then you’ll possibly have already found answers to these.

Embodiment isn’t a luxury. We are all embodied beings. We all have bodies. And despite the fact that many of us have rather troubled relationships with our physical forms, it is not an encumbrance or merely a meaty ride for our higher faculties. No. The body is an inextricable aspect of our sense of self, consciousness, intelligence, cognition and more.

Most of us sadly never develop our embodied capacities. And many simply feel less than fully comfortable within our our skins. We rarely receive any education in becoming more embodied, yet modern science is constantly discovering the crucial importance of doing so.

Embodiment Made Simple is a series of short experiential clips with Rod. In them he offers a little context and each clip also contains a simple short exercise that will begin to develop you capacity for embodiment. Here’s some below and go to our YouTube channel for more.
