003: What if your naked body is the only medicine you need? - using nudity as a tool for self development

Forging Fluidity: on navigating primal purpose

Aug 15 2022 • 33 mins

What happens when you remove sexual contexts, cultural stigmas, & social judgments from nudity?

Today we talk about how to lean into the natural way of being a naked, primal human, diving beneath the surface of Savannah’s nude photography & self portraiture work.

When we consciously remove the layers of clothing from our body with intention, it allows us to begin a process to remove emotional layers from the mind. By creating self awareness around our body image & shifting the way we relate to ourselves, we open a path of potential for elevated emotional, mental, & physical well-being.

We touch on mental health & body dysmorphia, & how viewing ourselves - literally - through another lens, can show us an alternate & uncommon perspective of how our body looks.

Taking nakedness beyond the mirror, we expand on our need as humans to connect with nature on a skin-deep level, with an "Earthing" practice.

YOUR INVITATION:

Each episode, we invite you to go deeper. With today's episode, your invitation is to dip your toes into mirror work. Create some space for stillness, drop into your body, & come face to face with your reflection.

Sit with your imperfections. In the beginning, it's normal to experience feelings of discomfort. The intention is that over time, those feelings will shift into acceptance, & eventually transform into self-love.

If this is new for you, allow yourself to lean into curiosity. How do you feel?
