Not thought about it. Not looked at it in a mirror. Actually *felt* it — from the inside. Most of us live about six inches above our bodies. We're in the head — planning, worrying, replaying conversations, solving problems. And the body just tags along underneath, carrying tension we don't notice, holding emotions we haven't processed, sending signals we've learned to ignore. This is what disembodiment looks like. And the tricky thing is, it feels completely normal. You can go years — decades — without realising you've been living from the neck up. I know, because I did. For most of my life, I was a seeker who lived entirely in my head. I read the books, understood the concepts, could explain mindfulness beautifully — and felt almost none of it in my body. The shift didn't come from learning more. It came from dropping my attention out of thought and into sensation. Into the weight of my hands. The rhythm of my breath. The quiet hum of being alive in a body. That's what Gateway 2 is about — embodiment. Not as a concept. As a felt experience. **Here's a practice you can try right now.** Wherever you're sitting, pause. Don't change anything — just notice. What do you feel in your feet? Your hands? Your chest? Is there tension somewhere? Warmth? Heaviness? Lightness? You don't need to fix anything. Just notice what's already there. That's it. That noticing — that shift from thinking *about* the body to being *in* the body — is the whole practice. **I'd love to hear from you:** Right now, without changing anything, what's one sensation you notice in your body? Even the smallest thing. Drop it in the comments — we're building this awareness together.
