The Brilliant Body Podcast w/ Ali Mezey

Borrowed from our upcoming guest Sarah Peyton. Sarah skillfully merges brain science and resonant language to gently address personal and collective trauma.

In Sarah's own words "I help people see that our brains makes sense, and that those things we’ve thought of as emotional difficulties or character defects are actually very normal reactions to relational, cultural and intergenerational trauma."

Learn more about resonant language with Sarah in our newest episode "Your Resonant Body"

THE BRILLIANT BODY PODCAST asks 11 Body Masters:
"How Do You Define EMBODIMENT?"
We frequently encounter challenges in conveying the depth and breadth of our experiences of being our bodies, using everyday language, particularly when newly popular terms become “buzz” words quickly obscuring, or not continuing to explore, what they even mean.

At the end of each episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, I pose a simple yet profound question to my guests: "How do you define embodiment?" I’ve combined the responses to form this mini-sode, offering you a mosaic of perspectives and language used to describe embodiment by pioneering body masters who have studied their own, and others bodies for years.

Enjoy listening to what they have to say, and hopefully enrich your definition, and understanding, of what embodiment means to you.

Absolutely love this...

In the 1980s, musician Daryl Davis set out to understand the Ku Klux Klan. So he started befriending members at Klan rallies and joined an all-white country band. Then, he met Imperial Wizard Roger Kelly. Davis spent years building a relationship with Kelly, establishing trust and, eventually, a friendship.

They ate meals at each others' homes while Davis listened to Kelly, seeking to see how he could hate a person like Davis without even knowing him. Eventually, Kelly started listening to Davis and left the Klan altogether, giving Davis his robes and hood. And over the past 30 years, Davis has now convinced over 200 former Klan members to walk away.

Embodied Intelligence with Philip Shepherd: Wholeness, Sensitivity, and the Pelvic Bowl is available now on all major streaming platforms. Please Listen, Like & Subscribe on your platform of choice.

In this episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, Ali Mezey interviews Philip Shepherd, a luminary in the global embodiment movement. Together, Ali and Philip explore countercultural aspects of embodiment, the importance of challenging societal norms, and the need to advocate for a shift towards present-centered awareness.

Central to the conversation is the profound impact of the pelvic bowl, a core element of Philip's teachings. Drawing inspiration from cultures that value the body differently, Philip highlights the concept of Hara in Japanese Noh theater. He traces the historical shift in Western culture from the belly as the thinking center to the current emphasis on the head, revealing a narrative of mistrust in the body.

Sensitivity emerges as a core theme of the conversation, which Philip positions as the foundation of intelligence. Ali and Philip delve into the subtleties of staying “dropped in” to the pelvic floor, stressing the gentle and patient approach required for restoring sensitivity, especially in individuals who have experienced trauma.

Throughout the episode, the exploration of embodiment, cultural shifts, and the profound connection between the body and the world converges into a call to action. The duo inspires listeners to nurture sensitivity, embrace radical wholeness, and reclaim their true intelligence, fostering the evolution of both individual and collective consciousness.

Episode Three: Embodied Intelligence with guest Philip Shepherd is on the horizon! We're thrilled to feature Philip on the podcast.

Philip is recognized as a leader in the global embodiment movement. He is the creator of The Embodied Present Process™ (TEPP), which provides both potent insights into how our culture desensitizes the body, and a series of over 150 practices to help people renew their sensitivity to the world and reclaim their calm, centred presence in it. He shares TEPP worldwide through in-person workshops and Facilitators Trainings, and has articulated the need for a new, more embodied way of being in two books: Radical Wholeness and New Self, New World. Both books identify the causes, perils and challenges of our culture’s disembodiment.

Philip’s personal path to embodiment includes a two-year journey as a teenager, during which he traveled alone by bicycle through Europe, the Middle East, Iran, India and Japan. He has also studied classical Japanese Noh Theater; co-founded an interdisciplinary theatre company; written two internationally produced plays and a television documentary; designed and built several houses; co-founded an arts magazine called Onion; played lead roles on stages in London, New York, Chicago and Toronto; and earned a reputation as a coach, both with individual clients seeking a deeper experience of embodiment, and for corporate clients seeking to improve their presentation skills.

Philip developed TEPP with his co-director and wife Allyson Woodrooffe, who also shares the practices in person. His website and online courses are found at EmbodiedPresent.com. His newest book, Deep Fitness, was co-authored with Andrei Yakovenko and offers a revolutionary and highly effective approach to fitness.

We're so excited to share this conversation with you, and we're confident that you'll find Philip's insights truly captivating.

Hi Folks! Thanks so much for subscribing! We've had a tremendous response to our first two episodes with another to drop soon. Amazing embodiment leader, Philip Shepherd, is on deck! One of the reasons I wanted to make this podcast is because there are so many terms - like "embodiment" - that get thrown around a lot but their meaning is often just supposed, surmised, assumed - and missed. The last question I ask all my guests is: How do you define embodiment? I have received SO many amazing answers - and surprisingly different answers. We'll be sharing them with you soon in thanks for your being here as soon as we get them edited into one sweet spot! More soon :-Ali

conventional views of the body and exploring the existential complexity of human anatomy.

exploring: 1) how the heart is not a pump, 2) how fat is intelligent, and 3) how the fo****in is
precious.

stories and challenges related to embodiment with a lot of humor.
