To change our life lies in a disarming experience of our own body. This book sets out on a journey to revolutionise the understanding of what our body is and does, so as to reorient our approach to life. It is a return-journey to an original awareness, that acknowledges the ability of the body to co-create reality, the evidence of which has been disclosed from the ancient times to the present day. We let go of our body as a given and bounded object, in order to experience ourselves as embodiment: the process through which we become our own body, along with the World that we experience and make sense of. We are not given a body, but we become one, just as reality is not given, but becomes, along with our biological, emotional, and cognitive responsiveness to it. We are asked to sense our own body, to feel it, to listen to its innate intelligence, which breaks through the illusions of separateness between inner and outer. Awareness of embodiment is now an intimate and collective urgency. There is no possibility for a free World until we become a free body. We are all a human body; therefore, each of us has the ability to harness our innate process of embodiment, and unlock the potential for regenerating our own becoming along with a World through which we can survive and thrive.
