Nine Reasons Why People are Disconnected from their Bodies

Nine reasons why people are disconnected from their bodies (and therefore themselves, their health, their ethics, their creativity, the environment and to others):
– lack of physical movement
– lack of touch
– an education system that emphasises cognitive knowledge over embodied wisdom
– it takes courage to feel and there’s plenty of ways to numb available (mass entertainment, alcohol, porn etc)
– they’re too busy
– sex shame
– body shame generally reinforced by a toxic media
– trauma. Sadly trauma causes conflict as well as vice versa so this is a cycle
– because rich powerful people and consumerism as a system encourage all the shit above. If people can feel why would they buy junk they don’t need and let others push them around?
