In her book "Becoming Wise," Krista Tippett highlights the importance of being in tune with our own bodies and the life force within us. She emphasizes that truly experiencing our physical selves is essential for a fulfilled life. This connection to our bodies allows us to engage more deeply with our own existence and the world around us.

Tippett points out that Western culture tends to be detached from the body, resulting in a lack of awareness and appreciation for our physical experiences. This disembodiment is unique to the West and can hinder our understanding of what it means to live fully. By recognizing and embracing our physicality, we can foster a more profound connection to ourselves and others.
