Embodied Living
Living an embodied lifestyle means living intentionally and with awareness of your truth. It means being present with your experience as it unfolds and shifts.
Embodied living centers the body as a site of wisdom. Via breath, movement, and self-awareness, life can be experienced from a place of power and choice, rather than from a state of survival.
Journeying to Embodied Living
01 Basic Needs
When we acknowledge and tend to our basic human needs (physical, emotional, spiritual, or social), we can begin to feel a sense of safety & openness.
03 Awareness
When we approach life with curiosity and grounded self-awareness, we can approach and live life more freely through choice, presence, and intentionality,
04 Curiosity
When we tune into our physical sensations and surrounding environment, we can build deeper awareness of what is needed to feel grounded, confident, and clear.
When we develop soothing practices to process & regulate our emotions, we can better understand ourselves and take charge of our healing.
02 Regulation
I’m Chantel Dominique
I know what it feels like to straddle the threshold of desiring to belong and desiring to be free.
Modern-day systems of oppression, hierarchy & capitalism demand that we adapt to belong, or else risk becoming othered. It’s when adapting to these demands requires us to disconnect from ourselves, over-produce, and over-perform that our autonomy over mind, body, and spirit becomes compromised - often leading us to develop chronic stress, numbing behaviors, creative blockages, and emotional dysregulation.
I believe that when we come into a practice of self-awareness and rooted presence, we can begin to reclaim ownership of ourselves. Through inhabiting our bodies with more intentionality and authenticity, we learn to notice what’s true for us, discern what we need, and choose how we want to move through the world.
