He founded Presence Training in 2012 and hasn't looked back. He now coaches people at all levels in authentic public speaking and leadership and has worked with thousands of individuals in the past 12 years. Organisational clients have included the MOD, NBC Universal and Surrey Cricket club.

515. Embodied Spirituality : Jeff Brown Jun 21, 2023

Taken from our recent Embodied Spirituality course.

Jeff Brown talks about the practice and application of being grounded and truly embodying our spirituality.

To join our courses and our community go to www.embodimentunlimited.com

Find Mark Walsh on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/warkmalsh/

About Jeff Brown

Jeff’s innovative new terms and short writings continue to be a growing phenomenon, widely shared by seekers and growers worldwide. His quotes have been shared in social media by Brain Games co-host Jason Silva, actress Chrissy Metz, songstresses Alanis Morissette and Fergie, and many other well-known figures. Most beautifully, they have touched and benefitted millions of souls.

Jeff now understands that each step on his path laid down the foundation of a new model: Grounded Spirituality. The challenges he faced, and the countless steps of overcoming were intended for this purpose: to support humanity in their efforts to embody all that they are. Not to bypass their humanness, but to celebrate it. Not to find enlightenment independent of the self, but to find enrealment deep within it. Here we are, just as we are.

He has spent the past several years, further forging and articulating his realizations, honing his voice, and shaping this new model. After an intensive and laborious process, buried in his writing cave outside Toronto, Jeff brought forth his most comprehensive work to date. Published in March 2019, the book Grounded Spirituality calls out and critically reviews ungrounded spiritualities, and presents a new model of authentic humanness, offering us a more integrated, embodied, and heartfelt path going forward. In November 2020, Jeff’s 4th book of popular quotes, Hearticulations, was published. Endorsed by Grammy Award-Winning singer LeAnn Rimes, Hearticulations reminds us of the golden threads that bind us together and that there is more that connects us than divides us.

Jeff is presently breaking new ground as an Enrealment Activist, with lots of exciting plans in the works including: a facilitators’ training course for Grounded Spirituality; a soon-to-be-launched podcast and video interface; a plethora of new courses at Soulshaping Institute; co-creating benevolent movements; traveling the world teaching and connecting with his supporters…. and whatever other unexpected surprises await this wildly rich path of Sacred Purpose. Stay tuned!

"In a decadent society people die from comfort, fail from ease, and hate life because of luxury. We have an excess of food so die of heart attacks and the like. This is established. The easiest products to buy are high sugar, high processed fats, alcohol etc. We are surrounded by dopamine mouth crack, and then told we need willpower to diet. The deep satisfactions of life are also only found the other side of HARD too. Finding purpose is uncomfortable until it’s a joy. Long-term relationships are sometimes uncomfortable as well as a joy. Deep spiritual practice is uncomfortable as well as a joy. Growth is hard. People are hard. Life is hard FFS!"

501. The Importance of Shadow Constellations : Nir Esterman May 11, 2023

Shadow Constellations combine the healing potential of both Family Constellations and Shadow Work, connecting Intergenerational Healing with Self-Parts Integration in novel ways.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” C.G. Jung

The Shadow is the realm of the unconscious into which we put what we repress and deny, what we disown and can’t acknowledge. The Shadow is ‘born’ to the family we are born into and into the culture(s) we are brought up in.

Embodied shadow and constellations trainer Nir joins Mark Walsh to talk projections, marriage, transference, trauma, the victim triangle, Bert Hellinger, “soul”, cultural trauma, Poland, inter/generational resourcing, gurus, and power.

A deep wonderful conservation.

Embodying your fascia in movement.

Time stamps:

0:00 mins

Expand our experience of our embodiment. Embodiment anchors us to our human body and we are all connected by that human experience. The body is a gift to be received and explored.

We notice differences to appreciate that which unites us all.

Embodiment as being present, consciously aware of our bodies and beyond.

Where it all began going from an academic who spent most of his time at his desk to studying massage and anatomy and then moving to the lab and science to exploring fascia - in this atom in the universe and from that the human form.

07:00 - Superficial fascia

Integral anatomy

Using it in meditation - concentration going into the body with the mind

Rejecting and accepting your resources - the psychology of this vital component of the body

Nourishing, nurturing, protecting

Your consciousness having a focused awareness in fascia

Fascia or fat in the face and integral part of communication

Expression within the body and movement

Appreciation for that which our culture diminishes

496. Apocalyptic AI : Mark Walsh Apr 21, 2023

Will AI take your job? Mark gives a thoughtful cultural commentary on AI's impact on embodiment and its community. Why pay a therapist or coach when you can ask AI, right? As homo sapiens our communities and ecosystems respond to touch, nature, presence, group regulation and harmonisation. What has the introduction of trans-humanism or at least human impersonation and the post-human era done to our embodiment and what does the future hold? Mark talks about how he makes human connection and in-person events a consistent part of the Embodiment Unlimited community to ensure the experience can never be reinterpreted by this new Artificial Intelligent dawn.

494. Anatomy and Touch Myths : Julian Baker Apr 19, 2023

Manual therapist Julian joins Mark to talk Bowen Technique, fascia, what massage actually is, why touch matters, anatomy and religion, what stretching does, core stability, foam roller, “release”, bouldering, and we he doesn’t bone in exercise. A iconoclastic one.

About Julian

A former chef from leaving school, Julian Baker has led the most bizarre of lives, ranging from cooking for the Royal Family to running jelly wresting events in the Australian outback and performing stand up comedy in pubs. These days he has turned his attention to disrupting the field of anatomy, challenging the foundations of medicine and the way that undergraduates are taught about the body, believing that "Anatomy is incomplete at best and dangerously wrong at worst." On the other side of the coin, he has been involved in the field of complementary therapy for thirty years and has equal disdain for some of the ideas espoused by the therapy world. "You can't release fascia, it's not a box of doves" being a favourite. He believes that somewhere in the middle, between scientific/medical arrogance and the anti-vaccination movement, lies a beautiful truth that will heal the world.

Traversing topics like, what exactly are archetypes, embodiment, Men’s work, how to expose archetypes, how to develop them, evocation, provocation, The Samurai Game, benefits, emotions, paired work, self talk, what nature coaching is, and Russian lesbians. An embodiment geek out!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/archetypesacademy

This group is for anyone who is interested in archetypes from an embodied perspective. To work with the body to call upon the power of Sovereign, Magician, Warrior and Lover.

492. Fighting, Slavs and Dogs : Ranko Ceric Apr 13, 2023

"By being aggressive you will open yourself up to possible to defeat."

Martial arts teacher Ranko Ceric joins me to discuss aikido, character development, the psychology of martial arts, Sytema, Slavic culture, trauma, training dog owners, and marketing. A wonderful canine stroll.

Being vulnerable or being in a position of power without being abusive.

Seeing power displays in dojo's - it isn't the practice it is the teacher and the culture. Preparation and defence in martial arts and training and learning one style first before mixed for self disciplin. How the training affects the artistry that follows.

What is Eastern European, what's post Soviet and what's trauma and how could we possibly know and understand that level of entanglement through embodiment and play.

491. Embodied Spirituality : Mark Walsh Apr 12, 2023

Can we make spirituality embodied?

Mark talks about his childhood living in a mystic - catholic household much like any religion has a mystic element to it. He then describes the many variables of what 'spirituality' could be and, the experiences with that such as meditation, state chasing, spiritual intelligence.

He moves on to talk about the recent movement in the West particularly the UK where people have come away from the churches and are exploring other methods of spiritual practice such as yoga, martial arts and tai chi Impersonation of spiritual roots as a way to relearn or to seek a deeper understanding; pagan, religious, indigenous, ritualist, plant medicine, psychedelics or trance states; all elements of ways we may seek to connect that isn't maybe our childhood cultural experience.

What is the connect or disconnect with higher states of spiritual practices and more grounded somatic, psychological examples such as shadow-work.

A broad orientation that acts as an introduction into our new Embodied Spirituality course :

483. Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Don Hanlon Johnson - With Mark Walsh Mar 23, 2023

From 'Best of the Embodiment Conference'. A conversation with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Don Hanlon Johnson - not to be missed.

Body-Mind Centering ® (BMC®) is an integrated approach to transformative experience through movement re-education and hands-on repatterning. Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, it is an experiential study based on the embodiment and application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical, and developmental principles, and utilizes movement, touch, voice, and consciousness. This study leads to an understanding of how the mind is expressed through the body and the body through the mind.

Body-Mind Centering® has an almost unlimited number wide areas of application. It is currently being used by people in movement, dance, yoga, bodywork, physical and occupational therapy, psychotherapy, child development, education, voice, music, art, meditation, athletics, and other body-mind disciplines.

Please visit the Body-Mind Centering® website for more information.

Bonnie's Bio

Bonnie is a movement artist, researcher, educator, and therapist, and the developer of the Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) approach to movement, the body, and consciousness. For over 50 years, I've been exploring the anatomical, embryological, and developmental foundations of movement and how they relate to our psychophysical processes and wellbeing.

Don's Bio

I have spent nearly half a century studying how transformative body practices can enhance personal and social change, and how they can impair it. I came to these practices out of a study of philosophy, which luminously articulates the disastrous social and personal results of the mind/body split enbedded in mainstream thinking and institution-building. I have tried to find methods for healing these splits in the academic world of writing, pedagogy, and research; in the personal realm of self-cultivation; and in the larger world of social change. At the deepest level, I look to these practices as a source of a spirituality grounded in the flesh of human yearning. My work is centered in the graduate degree programs in Somatics at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco.

Graduated by the National Conservatory of Portugal, where I gained my classical technique background, I danced in companies before deciding to found my own - I thought "Everyone else is doing it, so why can't I?". As Artistic Director of Amalgama Dance Company for 7 years, I started to introduce the somatic approach in my creative processes. Being a researcher of Movement and Contact Improvisation, I kept on directing projects, retreats and gatherings (including Arrábida Dance Labs) adding today more than twenty years of professional experience as a dancer, teacher and choreographer. Focused on the theme “Self Awareness for the Cohesion of the Collective Energy Field”, I believe that dance is a liberating tool for embodied interactions.

When we strive to control self and world, we disconnect from the intelligence of the body. That places us in a state of personal imbalance.

The big question is, “What can we do about it?” Philip Shepherd demonstrates with concrete examples how our culture disconnects us, and he shows how a return to the body brings you home to a sense of ease that intimately connects you with the world.

31. Non-conformist biomechanics - with Stephen Braybrook Dec 26, 2017

Stephen explains what biomechanics is, and what’s wrong with it and the traditional view of anatomy. We look at the limitations and outdatedness of Newtonian physics applied to anatomy, how the body is a “slave to the mind”, and how anatomy is social and psychological. We look at how children move, and how conformity is embodied and how we can find freedom through feeling and play. We also discuss teaching vs. facilitation/coaching. This one starts out being geeky and becomes revolutionary! We end with a discussion of how movement is love and an exercise in breaking norms.

27. Not judging, wearable-technology and Guatemalan insanity chilli - with Gerald Zhang-Schmidt Dec 11, 2017

Guest anthropologist, ecologist, biologist and technology blogger Gerald joins Mark from Austria. They discuss the geek way of embodiment, wearable technology (e.g. Fitbit), anti-body addictions, heroic endeavours, missions to Mars, what’s wrong with the Matrix movies, and ecology; including body-hating and genocidal tendencies within environmentalism.

They also hit on Chinese and post-Nazi Austrian embodiment, and healthy vs. unhealthy nationalism, as embodied culture is explored on the show once again. They look at how technology, marathons and extreme or “ultra” sports, and even eating chilli (Gerard is an expert), can be embodying and disembodying, and the dangers of judging any activity from appearances. A fun quirky one.
