Understanding the The Embodied Spirit
As an Embodied Spirit, you experience your physical state with a powerful, all-encompassing intensity. Signals like hunger, fatigue, or the feeling of being in nature aren't just background noise for you; they are powerful, central experiences. When you are active, you feel a profound sense of aliveness and engagement. Your gift is a deep connection to the physical self and the natural world, providing a strong sense of being present and alive.
