I can very easily be in my head, rather than in my feelings or my body. During the COVID 19 pandemic, my body has been a visible form of a feeling. It has an appetite that it ordinarily does not. It has a drive to store fat in response to the feeling of an uncertain future. The body knows.
Our bodies reveal hidden truths to us. Even when we don't know that we have something we need to know, our bodies will tell us. They get sick, they are “accident prone”, they break down, they have panic attacks, they gain weight, they lose weight, the hair rises on the back of our necks and so on. All of these things are there to tell us something if we will listen. Embodiment is a revelation.
Embodiment is the act of taking something intangible and making it tangible. It is the act of incarnation of truth. Sometimes that incarnation reveals truth that we do not want to see.
The creation reveals the creator.
