It’s a catchphrase that often comes up in yoga classes and meditation recordings. Perhaps you’ve heard some version of “come into your body.”
By pulling awareness out of our monkey minds, we become present. I can’t be caught up in mental dramas and feel sensation at the same time. Genuinely getting into my body requires getting out of my head. The presence and mindfulness this initiates does a lot of great stuff.We can have flashes of clarity and knowingEvery once in a while, when we’re really present, things click. Once fully out of our own way, we suddenly know or see things that we didn’t know or see before.
In general, when we tune in and feel ease, a release or relaxation, openness, warmth, lightness, or peace , we’re on the right track. Our bodies are saying yes, proceed. When it’s the opposite, when we sense tensing , constricted breathing, flatness, queasiness or any resistance that doesn’t also come with excitement or a genuine longing, something inside is saying “no,” or at least “pause here.”
When I’m present and mindful enough to catch the thought “I hate this bedtime routine and I’m a maniac and a bad mom,” I can flag that as unhelpful and choose not to listen.When I arrive in my body, the first thing I typically do is relax all the excess tension I’m unconsciously carrying. This is one of the most obvious things that getting into our bodies does: it teaches us where and how to physically let go.
