What supports do we need to help us reembody?
From ourselves, from others, from society, our environment.
What supports embodiment for me?
- dancing!
- sitting, lying, being on the floor:
- I feel very grounded and free, no bounds, can roll around anywhere.
- The firmness also feels like what my body wants a lot of the time.
- More floor living could also support simplified living, with less furniture, less to clean around and under, more open space, more floor time!
- being outside during intense weather
- I feel a heightened sense of my body, fear, survival instincts. I feel alive!
- Rain pelting skin, snow, slipper ice, crisp cold on the skin
- Summer heat—brings out the need to just rest, be still, conserve energy, no excess thought activity, my animal laziness takes over
- intense physical exercise (sweating)
- activating muscles and sweat glands
- swimming!
- waking up muscles i don’t use every day in landlubber life.
- observing animals
- lowering my center of gravity, walking around in a low stance like a tiger
