Performing the Strong Self - On the Illusion of Being Separate from the Body with guest Cara Claymore

from Khimaira · host V

In today’s episode, Cara and I begin by asking: How does the body teach us to listen when sensation overwhelms, when it surprises, when it transforms?Through our conversation Cara shares how past struggles with sensory stimulation and neurodivergence became doorways into practices of embodiment. By attending to sensation in all its intensities, she has learned to inhabit states of power—moving through a variety of selves, performing with and through the body’s shifting voices.We explore how listening deeply to the body turns discipline and devotion into art, how sensitivity becomes a site of strength, and how embodiment itself opens pathways into metamorphosis.This episode is a call to action for those navigating the thresholds of sensation, seeking to travel lightly yet powerfully with the many selves the body carries.--------------------Cara is a holy rascal, ecstatic seer, and body nerd who performs many different selves; calling herself an artist, filmmaker, actor and occultist who shares their strength practice, film & storytelling, myth & magick, & their ongoing spiritual art quest on the frontier of personal development with those willing to walk beside them. --------------------This episode features sonic objects collected by Cara, as well as a poem she has written and performed titled Manifesto.All other sounds and modulations produced by V--------------------Support Cara --> linktr.ee/caraclaymoreSupport V --> https://saturnvox.comSupport the Show --> https://ko-fi.com/saturnvox156
