Embody your mission and your embodiment is your mission
In order to find your mission give it away
– Ilan Stephani
Emboding qualities that are deeply engraved in those nervous-systems
knowing about, knowing to do, knowing to be.
Experience the substance of the body
And the world
As made up of vibrating particles,
and these particles made up of
Even finer energies.
Drifting more deeply.
Feel into each pulse of energy
As it condenses from infinity
And dissolves back into it
Continuously.
Noticing this, breathe easily
With infinity dancing everywhere.
– Vijnana Bhairava Verse 54
If I can’t feel me, I can’t feel you.
- greeks terms: soma, sarks
- Embodiment It's about listening to the world through the body. It's about feeling the world through the breath. For our purposes, then, we might say that embodiment is a state in which your entire intelligence is experienced as a coherent unity attuned to the world. In that state, any distinction between 'mind' and 'the body's energy' becomes meaningless."
- Change begins with awareness. Change actually happens through embodiment.
- from mindfulness -> bodyfullness
- soma; one with the spirit

- self/psyche
- micronoting
- what is it like to be a bat
- empathic-projection
