Embodiment
Embodiment for us is contact
with our material, emotional, mental and spiritual state.
It describes the experience of connecting with our nature,
the experience of "living" , through awareness and acceptance
of all the different situations that make it up.
As a Field of Practice it includes:
a set of experiential tools
and everyday skills
that support this experience.
The connection is
inherent universal human need, right and power.
The body is the entrance to what is now happening
and knows how to move towards what needs to happen.
Seeing my body as "me"
and not "this"
a simple question
like "how am I now?"
can be opened
the gateway to the present moment.
Can I participate in the world without forgetting myself?
Can I focus on myself, without isolating myself from the world?
Among the embedding practices we use as Embodiment Collective, the fundamental ones are:
Focusing attention (mindfulness, meditation)
Yoga
Conscious movement and dance
Tactile practices (hands-on bodywork: thai yoga massage,
biodynamic craniosacral, visceral massage, etc.)
Physical therapy
Breathwork
Movement and theatrical improvisation practices
Creative writing and play
