Embodiment means we no longer say, I had this experience; we say, I am this experience.
In the book "The Dance of the Dissident Daughter," author Sue Monk Kidd explores the concept of embodiment, shifting the perspective from viewing experiences as separate from ourselves to integrating them into our identity. This change emphasizes a deeper connection to one's lived experiences.
Kidd’s quote highlights the transformation in understanding oneself, suggesting that instead of merely recounting past experiences, we recognize those moments as fundamental to who we are. This perspective encourages individuals to embrace their experiences in a more profound and embodied way.
