embodied consciousness

Embodied consciousness is the idea that our awareness and experience of the world are deeply connected to our physical body. It suggests that our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions are not separate from our bodily sensations and movements. For example, how we interpret a sunset or a musical tune is influenced by our physical state, posture, and even tactile sensations. This perspective emphasizes that our mind and body are intertwined, shaping our understanding and experience of reality in a unified, integrated way rather than as separate entities.
