Hey everyone, my name is Rosie and I'm one of the new hosts of Radio Headspace.

I'm an author and a yoga meditation teacher and my new episodes are debuting February of next year.

I can't wait to share them with you.

In the meantime, I'd like to let you know about a new show from Headspace Studios called Dear Headspace.

It's a call and advice show where Headspace teachers answer questions each week about anything and everything.

We talk about family, relationships, mindfulness and so much more.

You can find Dear Headspace on the Headspace app or wherever you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

That's my studio.

Hello, it's Dora, happy Friday and welcome back to Radio Headspace.

Many of us spend most days living outside of our bodies for a plethora of reasons.

Some of us live on autopilot and for others living in our bodies may just be difficult and challenging.

Whoever you may find yourself on this spectrum, my hope today is simply to plant a seed,

something free to think about when it comes to living life, awake and aware.

Over the holidays, I had the opportunity to attend a Buddhist retreat in Costa Rica.

The theme of the retreat was embodiment and what it means to connect to the wisdom and innate intelligence of our bodies.

In one of our Dharma reflection talks, our teacher spraying was sharing his suta or story of Buddha

and this mystical creature called Rakeshana, who was traveling around the world for thousands of years, searching for enlightenment.

As he was journeying through the world, trying to search for this truth, he bumped into Buddha and asked him for help.

How can I find this enlightenment?

The Buddha gently replied that enlightenment is found going within and being in our bodies.
