S4E07 - 3 Ways We Avoid Being in Our Body

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

Understanding the subtle (yet often sophisticated) ways we avoid being in our bodies is essential for embodied women.

Our culture(s) want us to be dis-embodied and will coerce, corrupt & challenge our heartfelt desire to connect to more aliveness & pleasure at every opportunity. (I make it sound like warfare! Truly it’s not that dramatic, and yet it is also the future of our species & planet so it is somewhat important...)

As a coach, I spend a decent amount of time noticing how my clients avoid being in their bodies. I myself also experience this exact same phenomenon. So I made a new (fabulous) podcast on the topic.

In this podcast we dive into:

• Why it’s desirable to be alive below your neck
• Valid reasons for avoiding being in our body
• Analysis of 3 key ways we avoid being in the body
• The difference between formal & informal embodiment practices
• Why making meaning of a situation isn’t the same as resolving the tension of that sensation
• Ways in which I feel the wellness/spiritual space is evolving
