Embodied Spirituality and Resistance

This chapter explores the speaker's spiritual journey, emphasizing the shift from mental constructs to the importance of physical embodiment in spiritual growth. It connects the concepts of embodied spirituality within the Christian faith to contemporary issues like personal boundaries, societal violence, and the political significance of bodily autonomy, particularly in the context of movements like Black Lives Matter. Through discussions of touch, disembodiment, and the cosmic Christ, the chapter highlights the interplay between self-acceptance, social connection, and resistance against objectification.
