Embodying ourselves fully is key to developing the capacity we need for this moment. When you look at the nature of the mind, that awareness is facilitated by having the entire body awake and aware. In deep meditation, everything is awake and perceiving. The body is the instrument for the awakened mind. With deeper embodiment, we’re more capable of opening to the non-conceptual awareness within which our experience is happening, the source of the entire manifest world. We become aware of our ground, and when that starts to open up, it empowers us in a way that nothing else will.
