“Elaborate if you would for my edification...”
So, if you consider the notion of embodiment merely as an intellectual exercise, a theory to be discussed, debated, rationalised, reasoned, etc... then you are in fact moving away from the experience of embodiment.
Instead... activate all of your senses.
What would it feel like when *all of your human self perceived the world?
What would you see when your whole human self looked at the world?
What would you hear....?.... smell....?.... taste...?
The mind is not the brain. It is the whole body.
Ever had a “gut feeling” about something?
Or knew something in your heart to be true, even as you had no evidence for it? Like when you know how much you love someone?
If you want to understand “embodied cognition”, then drop your total awareness into your embodied self. Sense your toes, the fibres of your muscles, the blood pumping into your liver.......
