The final principle reminds us that embodiment work goes beyond our own body image. Like Sarah Jane says, “if you think some bodies are better than other bodies, you will have a hard time finding peace with your body”. Kate and Sarah Jane explore 12 steps, Buddhism and DBT skills all as a way to share embodiment skills with your community. If we all felt peace in our bodies, wouldn't the world be a better place?

Pleasure and joy are vital to our embodiment journey! If we don't experience pleasure and joy…what's the point of doing all this work? In today's episode Kate and Sarah Jane ask the questions: what emotions or secondary sensations are associated with pleasure in our bodies? Is pleasure tied with shame or self-condemnation? How do religious and cultural stories impact our ability to experience pleasure? What messages have we internalized about pleasure and joy that are overdue for examination? Let's slow down and invite pleasure into our lives as we explore the sixth principle of embodiment!

We live in an age of polarization. There are hardly any areas of our life not affected by extreme views, from politics to entertainment to social media. Everyone is looking to take a side, deliver a punchy soundbite, or be the first to “cancel” someone or something. No one wants to be on the wrong side of the cultural zeitgeist. In this environment it can be extremely hard to remain neutral. While some situations demand that we take a side, many areas of our life invite more nuance. In today's episode Kate and Sarah Jane talk about discernment, spiritual bypassing, toxic positivity, Brene Brown, Lizzo, and more! Join us as we explore the fifth principle of embodiment!

Now that we have gotten curious, let's practice presence! In this episode Kate and Sarah Jane explore how mindfulness leads to neutrality, and how these principles are necessary for true embodiment. Part of cultivating presence requires us to recognize that all things are temporary and all feelings are transient. We can stay present when we know this, because it helps us endure difficult experiences. Can it also help us more deeply appreciate positive experiences when we know they are fleeting as well?

Curiosity is at the heart of mindfulness, and mindfulness is at the heart of embodiment. In today's episode Kate and Sarah Jane break down what it means to have a “beginner's mind,” and how to gently explore our internalized messages. Kate offers therapeutic exercises to untangle these internalized messages, and Sarah Jane suggests physical practices to deepen body attunement.

What is compassion? How is compassion for others different from compassion for ourselves? Kate and Sarah Jane break down the surprising complexities of compassion and explore its different expressions (generosity, hospitality, objectivity, sensitivity, and tolerance.) They discuss American psychologist Paul Ekman's Four Types of Compassion, and Sarah Jane shares about her year of Metta (lovingkindness meditation.) This episode ends with several action steps to help you develop deeper compassion for yourself and others. Join us as we dive into the second principle of embodiment!

Why is body connection so hard? Why does it feel like every time you take two steps forward in your journey toward embodiment, you take another step back? Kate and Sarah Jane discuss the challenge of practicing embodiment in a hostile culture, and how trauma is the primary disruptor of embodiment. Practical advice and tools are offered at the end of this episode, so have a way to take notes. Join us as we begin our journey into the principles of embodiment!
