When we speak of embodied, we speak of the experience of aliveness and beingness. Of the World as it moves through the living flow of energy and information within us — through sensation, perception, and interpretation — shaped by our physiological state, influenced by our relational and intergenerational past, and regulated by the self-organising processes of the mind.
Embodiment is not held in the body alone. It is the felt sense of Self in relationship — with an Other, with the World, and with what lives and flows within and between. It reflects how we carry our past in posture, in breath, in gesture. And it is how, through awareness and integration, we may begin to reshape the present and open to the possibility of something new.
The mind, in this view, is not confined to the brain alone, but emerges through the interaction between the physiological, psychological, and the relational – the living emergence through which connection and meaning are continuously made.
