Hey there, welcome to Radiohead Space, to Thursday and to this new moment, its Dora.

Recently I've been contemplating how heady meditation can be.

By heady I mean we often spend a lot of time in our heads working with our minds.

And with all that headyness we sometimes forget about our bodies.

I mean its one thing to work out thoughts in the mind, but to work out that translation

of that thought in the body is a completely different experience.

And this is what it means to be in body, to be fully present through the body and listen

to and connect with the subtle cues and sensation that the body is always signaling to us.

Think about the last time that you were feeling completely distracted.

Maybe we can recall the thoughts that were present and how you got sidetracked by a particular

story.

But what does it physically feel like to be distracted?

What cues or sensations do we notice in the body that can show us when and where we were

distracted?

And there's many reasons why we may not incorporate the body into our mindfulness practice.

Some of us may be living with things like chronic pain, trauma, disabilities, mental illness,

and these are all factors that can make the body seem like a foreign place.

However, it can be helpful to know that the body is always present.

This is what was helpful for me.

Understanding that even when I'm sick, my body is still working for me and not against

me.

I'm working to protect me and keep me healthy at all costs.
