The healing practice (& power) of embodied presence in the wild terrain of these times
Episode 222
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026
Click here to send me a quick message :) I had a conversation with a friend recently, and the topic of presence came up. Not from the lens of meditation so much as from the lens of what's helping us move through the wild terrain of life these days. We talked about how easy it is to get drawn into the past - distractions, addictions, spirals of longing, attachment to old stories, replaying what's already happened - or the future - worry, fear, anxiety, concern, responsibilities to come etc.And how easy it is to go entire days, weeks even, without true embodied presence.How often are we really, truly, present... in our bodies, in a moment?Isn't it interesting though, how time can bend? When we are falling in love, or meditating, or maybe even trying hard to get words on to paper, it can feel like 5 minutes is forever. But most often, it's all moving so swiftly, we barely catch a glimpse of what's happening.Distractions and stimulation is EVERYWHERE, and more so now than ever before.But the truth is, healing and the possibility of new healthier pathways, ones that include conscious choice of something generative versus destructive, of a world we believe in even, is all only possible when we release the past and the future and cultivate more relationship with the present.And not just the present moment mentally, but even more powerfully bringing our awareness into our bodies for somatic experience of embodied presence.I riff on this and share a guided practice to embodied presence in this week's episode. It feels like needed medicine for so many of us right now.
