On embodiment, experience, coaching, and "where do you feel this in your body?"...
Reading that embodiment was a buzz-word the other day on internet, felt so wrong, it had me do something I resisted doing: Talking about what embodiment means. Embodiment is such a diverse field, with many different voices!
That said, yes, it annoys me but it has become a buzz-word. And many people use it without knowing what they are talking about. One question has become emblematic of this for me in the world of coaching: I heard many ask, from a totally disembodied state "Where do you feel this in your body?".
As if it was step 2 of the 10 step process for X.
It's like explaining someone the taste of chocolate vs facilitating the experience of tasting chocolate for him/her.
Embodiment is not a process, it is an experience, from the inside out.
It is a way of being, from the inside out.
