This is a 6-minute talk about the brilliance of the body. It's a gateway back to the senses and a portal of expressions. As a Cultivator of Curiosity and Creativity in the Human Experiment, I've come to understand the body as a conduit of this human experience and I hope to inspire you to find the brilliance in your own body! I'm a Soul Art Guide, Yoga Nidra Guide, Akashic Records Guide and Human Design Mentor. For many years I was an Expressive Arts Therapist/Intermodal.

I just wanted to talk about the brilliance of the body for a minute.

When I think about the body,

And I've done a lot of soul art on this,

I've done a lot of my own curiosity journeys on this,

And from what I found our body is the place of meeting where the earth and the spirit meet.

It's in our body.

Our bodies are the conduit of both things that are earthly and things that are from the spirit.

And the way we experience both earth and spirit is through our body.

And when we start to pay attention to how our body speaks to us,

And how our body experiences the world around us,

And how our body expresses to us what it needs,

I always come back to the five senses.

Those would be seeing,

Hearing,

Smelling,

Tasting,

Feeling.

And I always add to that memory and imagination,

Because both memory and imagination are like umbrella senses.

We can tap into those original five senses in different ways.

In one way is memory,

In one way is imagination.

And our bodies use our senses to tell us things.

Our senses,

You know,

A hundred people could see the same sunrise,

And a hundred people will experience it differently.

Some will experience it through memory of previous sunrises.

Some will use their imagination and find things in the sky.

Others will see different colors.

Others will notice during that sunrise the sound of the seagull.

Another person might smell the shore,

Or smell the barbecue next door.

Some of us will taste our morning coffee.

And so each of us experiences life differently.

The reason we experience things differently is because of our body.

Our body is the conduit,

And all of us have unique experiences and unique relationships to all of our senses.

And our bodies are brilliant like that,

Aren't they?

Everything is said through our body.

We experience what the earth has to offer.

Food,

Grass to stand in,

Wind,

Heat,

Cold,

Nutrients.

Each other,

Right?

We experience each other through our bodies.

Whether it be in a romantic relationship,

Or even holding hands with your child,

It's through our body that we experience it.

And there's this beautiful network between our senses,

Our emotions.

What we see,

What we feel,

What we hear,

Right?

What we smell,

What we taste.

There's this network of our senses that make us uniquely us.

And it's brilliant.

I mean,

It's so brilliant that people who have one sense that is not as strong,

Or maybe even taken away completely,

Like they might be deaf or blind,

Other senses step up and begin to enrich that person's life in a different way.

We are brilliant,

And our bodies are our conduit.

They are how we experience this world.

And so I started with the idea of the body being a conduit,

But also,

Our body is how we express ourselves.

Our body allows us to take everything in as a conduit that we experience in this world,

And it also allows us to express it back over and over and over again.

So this is just a small talk.

This is part of my,

This is my message.

I'm a cultivator of curiosity and creativity in the human experiment,

And this is some of the most in-depth learning that I've gone on in my journeys as a shaman,

As an Akashic Records guide,

As a soul art guide.

This is some of my learning.

This is my teachings that have colored everything that I have worked on,

Everything that I have gotten curious about,

And it always comes back to the body as a conduit.

So I'm not going to say too much more in this,

But I just encourage you to,

For now,

Really appreciate your senses,

Your body.

Tap into them when you can.

Just a few times a day,

Sit back and say,

Hmm,

What do I see?

What do I hear?

What do I feel?

What do I smell?

What do I taste?

And then move on with your day.

You know,

You don't even have to stay there.

It takes maybe even a minute.

It could take five minutes,

But it could take as quick as one minute.

And just start engaging with your body in this way.

Start engaging with your senses,

With your conduit.

And I would love to hear what your experience is of this.

I'll be adding some more talks on this subject,

But this is the root.

This is the core.

I would love to hear,

My friends,

What you feel about that.

Does that resonate with you?

Do you feel the connection to your body as a conduit?

Because this is what my journeys have taught me.

So thank you for listening to my.

.

.

Yeah,

I'm really.

.

.

I want to put this out there so that we really start to experience our curiosity and our creativity in beautiful ways.

So my friends,

Namaste.
