Embodimentembodiment

Embodiment is the state of a person truly existing in their own body. This is experiencing the body not as an object looked at from outside but as a subjectivity lived from within. This is the starting point of somatic approaches: the human mind is not somewhere separate from the body but exists within it and together with it. Embodiment involves attending to how thought and feeling are felt in the body. A person present in their own body touches their experience more directly.
