Embodyment

Embodying transformation means living in a way that integrates body, mind, spirit, environment and community. Realizations, aha moments, are one aspect of our journey, but the aspect of taking those jumps and realizations you receive back and integrating them into your everyday life is the anchor for transformation. Embodiment involves giving concrete form to an abstract concept. When you embody something you take what you've learned-the insights you've gained through your direct experience-and you give it form.

Some people awaken and basically the bottom drops out and never gets put back underneath them. But this is extraordinarily rare. What most people find is they have this great experience, this great awakening, and after they come back-they encounter their unresolved stuff, the parts of them that aren't awakened, that the light didn't penetrate, and what they're really in need of looking at. For most people, this will be a gradual daily process. -Adyashanti

Through one or two simple daily practices, one can apply the process of embodyment and actually work it into your life, for life and practice need to be fundamentally connected. In laboratory studies individuals trained in mindfulness meditation for only eight weeks showed an increased pattern of new neural pathways created between the left and right brain. This suggests that meditation may not only change the function of your brain and body, but also the physiological structure. Neuroplasticity is the capacity for the connections between neurons in the brain to change in response to experience and environment. The more you use new neural pathways, the stronger they become. New thoughts, new experiences and supporting them with repetitive daily practice will bring a balancing of the left and right hemisphere's. During acupressure sessions clearing of past cell memory can take place, making space for the integration of new knowings and solidifies this type of deep transformational work.
Living deeply doesn't require retreating to a mountaintop or embarking on a huge journey; rather, the convergence of life and practice is the returning ~ in which you bring the fruits of your journey of self-discovery back home, into your life, your family and your community.
