Embodiment – Can We Go Beyond Our Bodies?

Unless we embody our thoughts, in coherence with our feelings, we will always be living in the past and reproducing the past in the future.

Take a look around you, and you will see so many things that are the result of human creation. Each one of those creations began with a thought. The moment we become aware that we don’t have something that we need or want, we experience the emotion of lack. Then, the imagination kicks in, and we begin creating. Humans have an innate, natural tendency to be creators at play. The more we imagine what it would be like to have certain things, the more we naturally start imagining images and pictures of our potential future.

We dream of the dream of a different, better future.

Embodying Your Thoughts

When we keep thinking about turning that future into reality and be truly engaged in the process with passion, we will begin to insert ourselves in the scene of that future. Through sheer thought, we would begin to experience that future emotionally. In other words, we are able to feel the emotions of an unrealized future, such as enthusiasm, abundance, joy, love, gratitude, freedom, and so on. In a way, immersing yourself in that scene is a form of mental rehearsal and preparation – changes begin to take place in our brain because we are opening new neurological pathways. Our brain starts changing to look like the future we want to conceive and create.

According to Dr. Joe Dispenza (international lecturer, educator, author, and researcher), creative thoughts become an experience. The “future emotions” we feel in the present send signal to the body, which receives the signal that the situation or event is happening or has already happened. That way, we are signaling the body ahead of the environment. By the time you are 35 years old, about 95% of who you are is a memorized set of hardwired attitudes, unconscious habits, emotional reactions, and a set of behaviors that operate like a computer program. We can learn a change both in a state of inspiration and joy, as well as in a state of suffering and pain.

Body as the Unconscious Mind

What follows the thought is emotion. When you wake up in the morning, what do you think about first? If you start thinking about your problems, you should know that those problems are actually memories (or circuits) in the brain. Each one of your memories relates to certain times, places, and people. So, start each day by thinking in the past. The more you keep firing those circuits, the more hardwired they become, and it only takes one thought to fire them. It then turns into a feeling of anxiety that
