In today\u2019s conversation, Chen helps us understand what it means to be fully embodied \u2014 in your spirit, your soul; all aspects of who you are. Being fully embodied means feeling fully comfortable in your own skin.

Sometimes you can get so in your head that you feel you must be comfortable in your body in order to connect physically with your partner \u2014 but that\u2019s not true. You need to flip that script. Connecting physically with your partner can actually help you become comfortable with your body. That, in itself, can be the practice that will lead you to attunement and bring you into your body.   Mentioned in this Episode: Yoga Girls (Reality TV Show) IGNTD episode: \u201cGoing Deep: Body Image and How We View Ourselves\u201d Sophie\u2019s Spotify Chen Lizra\u2019s TEDx Talk: \u201cThe Power of Seduction in Our Everyday Lives\u201d The Power of Enjoyment Retreat The Power of Sabrosura Retreat Power of Somatic Intelligence (Chen\u2019s website)   Find out more about IGNTD: IGNTD.com IGNTD.libysn.com   Subscribe to the Podcast iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify   Follow us on Social Media!
