Your body, your teacher.

Yes our body is our best teacher - and this, I feel, requires a deep connection to it, compassionate listening and the nurturing of a very felt experience of the physical matter we inhabit: The breathing body. The breathing body to me is a spacious body, a soft body, a receptive body, sensing and feeling body, a body which is alert, has the ability to adapt, has mutability, a versatile body, a strong body, a connected body -  a body in motion, a body in tune with its own rhythm and song, a body which is given the space to dance and sing its very own unique melody. The breathing body is a body connected to below and above and all around, able to receive and share - and reveal wisdom from inside. In this episode I share with you what the breathing body means to me and how I access it through movement, touch, images, imaginations and what I call a poetic approach to human anatomy. I hope you feel inspired maybe as you listen or anytime after to take a break, pause, lean back, rest into yourself and enjoy a sense of expanding space within and around you as your whole being comes to stillness. In this episode I share with you, What the breathing body means to me What practices and tools I use on a daily base to connect to my physical body And through that process experience more softness, ease, spacious- and lightness within  What it means to me to connect to the support of the ground and Mother Earth  Why building a sensory vocabulary is enhancing my own life experience And how an interoceptive practice starts a process through which your body reveals its inherent wisdom to you!To leave any comments and to get in touch with me, follow me on Facebook or instagram, or visit my webpage www.flurinathali.com Credits: Intro/outro music – ‘Hymn for Jim’ by Aspyrian, Robin Porter – saxophone, Jack Gillen – guitar, Matt Parkinson – drums, composed by Robin Porter, listen to the full track here.  Graphic: Annina Thali, for more information click here Mix engineer: Jack Gillen, for more information click here This is a public episode.
