Frequently Asked Questions
Your body picks up on stress long before your mind catches on. With Embodied Exploration®, you learn to read those signals clearly—what’s working, what’s not—and respond before things build up. It’s like having a personal dashboard that helps you course-correct in real time.
The great thing is that everything the body provides is very practical and concrete, which makes it easy to use!
Good question! Embodiment Exploration® is an experiential and living thing. So when designing our programs we made sure to incorporate that in your learning experience.
Watching the videos and reading the material will put things into your head but won’t provide you with what you need to incorporate the work into your day-to-day living. That’s why we include easy to implement exercises and a daily practice with each lesson. That way you will get the information from your head . . . to your body . . . and back!
Not at all.
While our body has timeless wisdom, it would be nothing without our brain–we need both! But we are suggesting that all of us would benefit from a little less time just in our heads or just in our bodies. Increasing your embodied awareness helps keep your thinking brain online when stress tries to hijack it.
Accessing the information that the body provides can increase your ability to access your brain when you need it most: during critical, stressful events when your frontal lobe is typically compromised. It’s about shifting from automatic reaction to thoughtful response, even in the thick of it.
Often right away. Most people already feel something shift during the first exercise. The exercises are designed to provide you with immediate feedback as you are doing them. You can use that awareness immediately in your daily life. With regular practice — just a few minutes a day — you start to build reliable skills you can call on when it counts, whether you’re in a tense meeting or facing a tough moment at work.
About an hour a week over eight weeks. The lesson video(s) runs from 10-15 minutes. The exercises attached to each lesson take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. And the daily practice takes 5-10 minutes on average each day. It’s designed to be doable, even with a packed schedule.
We don’t offer a list of quick fixes or dos and don’ts. Instead, we help you tune into and expand on what you already have — your body, your awareness, your values.
- That’s how you begin to:
Catch early signs of emotional exhaustion - Stay open and grounded in communication
- Set clear boundaries without guilt
- Lead from what matters most
- Having a sense that you are in the driver’s seat
These aren’t just skills—they’re foundations for sustainable well-being.
It’s a great foundation. But embodiment isn’t about how fit you are — it’s about how connected you are. Even people in peak physical shape can miss what their body’s really saying. This work helps you listen in and respond more skillfully, whatever shape you’re in.
You’re not wrong. Systems absolutely matter. But even with good policies in place, they only go so far if we don’t have the inner tools to use them. Developing awareness and agency helps you bring your needs forward, offer ideas, and stay grounded in tough environments.
Nope. Once you learn the tools, they fit into everyday moments. When you’re with patients or in between. While washing your hands. During your commute. It’s not another thing to do—it’s a different way of being with what’s already happening.
Definitely!
This course is for anyone who works in fast-paced, high-pressure, people-centered spaces—or anyone who feels stretched thin. The tools apply across professions and life roles, because stress doesn’t care what your job title is.
