Our growing understanding of embodied awareness is one of the less
known and most extraordinary areas of contemporary research and
practice. On one side (the left brain, as it were), neuroscience in
all its forms is constantly shedding new light on subjects like
embodied cognition, the distributed brain (brain-in-the-gut,
brain-in the-heart), the workings of the left and right hemisphere
of the brain (McGilchrist and others) and the processing of sensory
and emotional data. On the other side (the right hemisphere, as it
were) our study and awareness of the experience of being in our
bodies, moving, feeling pain, dreaming, meditating, growing,
becoming ill and healing, is becoming increasingly nuanced.
Academic research is approaching the experience of consciousness
and awareness 'from the inside' and making remarkable discoveries.
The emerging field of 'body and awareness' is transdisciplinary and
multifaceted - it has no subject listing in libraries and academia
or in booksellers' metadata. But it is of central importance to
those interested in understanding art, dance, the psychology of
health, child learning and development, trauma, the psycho-ecology
of extinction, loss and climate change, proprioception and
enteroception, ecological awareness, meditation, and the need for
societal transformation in an age of multiple convergent crises.
