87. You are your body
Do you often feel disconnected from your physical self? Are you more critical of your body than appreciative? In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the profound relationship we have with our bodies.
Join me as I explore the common experience of body disconnection in Western society and the cultural and religious influences that contribute to this separation.
In this episode:

- Understanding the profound shift from "having" a body to "being" a body.
- The impact of this mindset on your overall well-being and self-perception.
Mind-body connection:
- Exploring how the mind and body are inseparably linked.
- Modern science's recognition of the gut as the "second brain" and its implications for our understanding of consciousness.
Cultural and societal influences:
- How Western culture and certain religious interpretations contribute to body disconnection and disassociation.
- The role of the beauty and marketing industry in perpetuating body dissatisfaction.
The miracle of the human body:
- Celebrating the complexity and cooperation of the trillions of cells that make up your body.
- Reflecting on the biological marvel that enables us to live and thrive.
Practical exercises for reconnection:
