We tend to live in our heads, experiencing our world conceptually. Yet wisdom, and our emotions, live in the body. So, how do we move from the head to the body? Improving interoception - awareness of the body’s internal sensations - is a good place to start becoming truly present with our bodies, our emotions, and ourselves. As we deepen our awareness, there’s no end to where the body scan can take us.
In this episode, Mindfulness Exercises founder Sean Fargo teaches us how deepening mindfulness of the body offers a better understanding of our emotions and the opportunity to heal from past trauma.
This talk is a compilation of Sean Fargo’s teachings to those enrolled in our Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Program. Learn more about this unique, online, self-paced certification program at teach.mindfulnessexercises.com
