Are you here, or are you up in your head? A case for getting back in your body to hear what it's saying.
.....
It’s true of almost all of us: we take our bodies for granted. We force them into uncomfortable positions, we push them long after they’re tired, we starve them for aesthetics-and a million more awful things we wouldn’t do to a friend.
One thing we don’t often do to our bodies? Listen to them. And if we did, wow, what we’d learn!
This episode is with Ev’Yan Whitney, somatic practitioner, sensualist, author, podcaster-and advocate for awakening people to the sensory pleasures alive inside of all of us.
Listen to learn how to get into your body, why it matters, and what you’d learn if you spent more time there. And look for a guided practice in listening to your body from Ev’Yan as a bonus follow-up episode!
