In this episode I interview Cynthia Price, the Senior Director of the Center for Mindful Body Awareness (CMBT) and a leading researcher in the field of Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT). The discussion revolves around MABT, its applications, and its potential benefits, particularly in the context of disordered eating. The first part of the podcast covers the basics of MABT, highlighting its emphasis on interoceptive awareness, body connection, and sustained attention to internal experiences. Cynthia explains the unique aspects of MABT, distinguishing it from other mindfulness approaches and highlighting its focus on integrating physiological and sensory processing. The conversation then delves deeper into personal practices and experiences related to MABT. Cynthia shares her own practices, such as yoga and the MABT practice on herself, emphasizing the importance of both formal and informal ways to check in with the body. I also share my experience with a daily pose, Tadasana, and how it has increased my awareness of the body's response to emotional states. The discussion concludes with insights into the potential application of MABT in the context of disordered eating, with a focus on developing awareness and embodiment. Cynthia highlights the need for more research in this area and encourages individuals to explore this approach as a means of fostering a positive connection with their bodies.
