What is Embodiment?
“Embodiment is the state of energetically merging the mind (conscious), body (physical person), and spirit (the subconscious) from a frequency of pure love and acceptance.” -Ashley Easter
Abuse survivors often suffer from a disconnect between body, mind, and spirit resulting in the body dissociating (understandably) during trauma. This dissociation was developed as a protection because the survivor’s body knew it could not safely process the fullness of the trauma all at once. This is not something to be judgemental about but to give empathy and understanding to.
Because of this disembodiment, much of a survivor’s journey to healing includes coming back to themselves. Gently merging the mind, body, and spirit in a “wholly” trinity of love, safety, and self-acceptance.
