Most of us are spending the majority of our lives entirely from the neck up.
Thinking, planning, analyzing, worrying, scrolling... all of it happening in the head while the body just carries us from place to place. We are moving so fast, working so hard to keep up with the pace of the world, that we are rushing right past the actual human experience.
And somewhere in the process, we’ve lost touch with something really fundamental. The actual felt experience of being alive.
In this episode we’re talking about your five senses, sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste and why coming back to them might be the most underrated pathway to presence, joy, and genuine pleasure that exists.
We also get into why slowing down has started to feel dangerous. Why silence makes so many of us uncomfortable. And how the ordinary moments of daily life are holding so much more joy than most of us are actually letting in.
Plus, 3 practical exercises to start bringing you back into your body and back into your life.
This one is a warmup. The conversation goes even deeper in a few weeks.
PS: this podcast was inspired from the retreat I was on where talked about this in our heart opening ceremony
