INSIGHT

Defining Embodiment

Embodiment involves shifting attention from thoughts to physical sensations, grounding you in the present moment.
This reduces reactivity to thoughts and projections, fostering a more present and grounded state.

INSIGHT

Benefits of Embodiment

Embodiment cultivates presence and reduces reactivity, increasing emotional intelligence.
It allows men to feel more and react less, enhancing their relationships and overall well-being.

ADVICE

Embodiment Exercise

Practice the "split attention" technique: maintain eye contact while focusing on the physical sensation of your weight in the chair.
Regularly practicing this enhances presence and reduces anxiety during intense moments, like arguments with a partner.

I've recently had a lot of men ask me about embodiment. What does it mean? Why does that term get thrown around so much? Hot on the heels of last week's episode with John Wineland (another embodiment coach) comes GS Youngblood, a friend of mine who's been working and coaching embodiment practices for years.

This is a great episode if you want to truly get a feel for what embodiment means, how it's practiced, and why it's so effective. GS even takes me through a short, two minute "sample" practice. We also dig into how embodiment can help with sex, desire discrepancy, overwhelm, and more.

GS Youngblood coaches men in relationship and how to live, love, and lead from their masculine core. He has been a student and creator in the fields of men's work for over a decade. Through this lens of masculine leadership, he also pulls in principles from a variety of fields: psychology, martial arts, tango, meditation, and BDSM. All of his writings are filtered through the laboratory of his and his clients' real-world, long-term relationships (including both the successes and spectacular failures) to see what actually works and what doesn't.
