Your Temple "Body"

Welcome Gods and Goddesses,

Today is the first day of our challenge and I am so excited. Let's start from the beginning shall we?

THE ROOT CHAKRA

THE ESSENTIAL TO OUR SPIRITUAL PATH & GROWTH = EMBODIMENT

To embody is to “make visible,” that is exactly what our bodies and movement do. We all have bodies and we are always moving, even if it is just breathing. Our movement and body makes visible all of who we are: our mood, personality, history, family, and culture.

The spiritual path is a lifelong journey of growth

The first anchor of our challenge is Embodiment

because this is the key of focus for us in our journey and transformation.

We want to be free from our daily grind and our daily challenges. We must tune into our bodies and allow it to take over. In this challenge we will discuss the body through breathing and sacred movement.

Embodiment

The term embodiment means the state of being in your BODY.

EM- comes the French word "en" meaning, in/into and "put in or into" and to bring to a certain state.

BODI- refers to the BODY

MENT- an action or resulting STATE.

Embodiment is the practice of actively being, feeling, and experiencing your body. "But Egypt aren't we always in our bodies"? Technically yes but Energetically no.

Disconnecting from your BODY

Think about a time you disconnected from your body. The time you were so anxious you couldn't breathe or the time you were so nervous or scared you couldn't swallow, you had a ball in your stomach and your hands were sweating.

What about that time your friend was telling you their story and you begin to remember a past event of your life and you checked out of the conversation because it was to painful or hurtful to listen to.

We all have moments of Disembodiment especially in our adult lives.

However, we were born Embodied. We've just been taught throughout time that the mind and logic are more powerful than the body + intuition, so we have been trained to check out of our feelings and into our thinking.

A baby feeling their way through life. They are connected to every feeling , texture, and emotion in the room. This is how we are naturally. But, they put us into these institutions and offices. We forgot how to feel the textures of our environment.

We all still have access to this, it's just a matter of tuning in.

When you are In-Tuned With your BODY

You can tune in to your own body’s wisdom for the answers.
You don’t look outside yourself for solutions.
You can feel what is true and resonant for you.
You are more connected to Earth, your intuition, and energy.
You can feel more sensuality, love, pleasure, and bliss.
You are liberated, expressed, and creative.
You have a natural magnetism to you that attracts all that you desire in life.
You feel grounded, anchored, and rooted in truth.
You can trust yourself and others can trust you.
Your words match with your actions.
You are a living embodiment for all you believe in.

What makes you feel EMBODIED

Is it dance, sound, breathing, connecting?

Now let's do it. Let's practice connecting with our bodies. We will indulge in a free flowing sacred dance with guided affirmations. There is no choreography. I want you to let go and breathe and let the movement and music guide you.
