Do you often feel disconnected from your physical self? Are you more critical of your body than appreciative? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the profound relationship we have with our bodies.

Join me as I explore the common experience of body disconnection in Western society and the cultural and religious influences that contribute to this separation.

In this episode:

The concept of being a body:

•    Understanding the profound shift from "having" a body to "being" a body.


•    The impact of this mindset on your overall well-being and self-perception.

Mind-body connection:

•   Exploring how the mind and body are inseparably linked.


•  Modern science's recognition of the gut as the "second brain" and its implications for our understanding of consciousness.

Cultural and societal influences:

•    How Western culture and certain religious interpretations contribute to body disconnection and disassociation.


•    The role of the beauty and marketing industry in perpetuating body dissatisfaction.

The miracle of the human body:

•  Celebrating the complexity and cooperation of the trillions of cells that make up your body.


•   Reflecting on the biological marvel that enables us to live and thrive.

Practical exercises for reconnection:

•   Techniques for shifting your focus from incessant thinking to the sensations of your inner body.


•   The benefits of integrating body gratitude and awareness into your routine.
