Hello and welcome back to practicing human, the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.

I'm your host, Corey Miscara, and in today's episode, we are going to talk about reclaiming the body,

and specifically how to reaccess your body's intelligence.

More to come on that in a moment.

First, let's settle in together with the sound of the bells.

Thank you. In yesterday's podcast, we talked about following the energy as a way of assessing when to move towards something or when there might be ground to pause.

And I mentioned in that episode how one of the prerequisites for being able to do that is a certain level of attunement to the body and how many of us have learned to disconnect from our bodies, often without

realizing it.

If this started from an early age, you might not even have a memory of what it means to be

deeply connected to your body and your baseline and understanding of just what it means to be you is almost entirely

established from the neck up. So I want to use this episode to talk about what that journey

back into the body might look like, whether you are someone who feels maybe very disconnected

from the body, learned that the body is a very unsafe place to be,

or even for those of you who feel like you have a good connection to the body,

my experience is that there are just layers upon layers here.

And so wherever you are, I think this is going to offer a map to take things deeper so that you

are leading your life from a place of self-connection and bodily connection.

Because honestly, without that, it is just so easy to make decisions that override a deeper intelligence.

And this is just this slippery slope into burnout, into misalignment, and then, yes, things like

chronic illness, disease, stress, anxiety, depression, all of it. If you can't catch the subtle

early signs, you often only start paying attention to when things have really escalated when you're

forced to look at them. If you miss the whispers, you will have to put your entire life on hold
