Embodiment practices emphasize the integral connection between the mind and body. By fostering awareness of bodily sensations and movements, individuals can better process emotions and trauma. Techniques such as mindfulness, yoga, and somatic therapies are employed to enhance this mind-body integration, promoting healing and emotional regulation.

The mind is a natural process of a brain within a body interacting with its environment. So engage your mind inside your brain, within your body and attend in The San Diego Brain Club environment and see what happens!
