Connecting With Emotions Through the Body, with Sean Fargo

We tend to live in our heads, experiencing our world conceptually. Yet wisdom, and our emotions, live in the body. So, how do we move from the head to the body? Improving interoception - awareness of the body’s internal sensations - is a good place to start becoming truly present with our bodies, our emotions, and ourselves. As we deepen our awareness, there’s no end to where the body scan can take us. 

In this episode, Mindfulness Exercises founder Sean Fargo teaches us how deepening mindfulness of the body offers a better understanding of our emotions and the opportunity to heal from past trauma.

A former Buddhist monk, Sean Fargo has taught mindfulness and meditation for corporations including Tesla, Kaiser Permanente, Facebook, Ernst & Young, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and for health and government organizations, prisons, and hospitals around the world. He has dedicated himself to teaching mindfulness in a way that’s clear and practical.

Sean has also trained hundreds of others to teach and share mindfulness in their own communities. His Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Program is a unique, self-paced certification program that is accessible entirely online. Students in the program receive weekly live, in-person mentorship from Sean Fargo and his team. They are joined by the world’s most respected voices in mindfulness and meditation who present on a wide range of topics.
