Awakening to Being Through The Doorway Of The Body.
On this channel Chris, founder of The School Of Embodiment, shares lessons, somatic practices and awakening enquiries to help people find freedom from psychological suffering.
After a long period of intense inner challenge through his 20's, and a deep commitment to healing, Chris speaks from direct experience of how to come out of the mind, and back into the body.
This channel is not designed to give you more information for your mind, but rather to directly help you taste, and step into the peace and freedom of your True Nature.

Dear friends,
For those who would like to make a deeper commitment to this healing work, my monthly membership Returning Home starts soon with a founding members discounted price.
Returning Home is built around one simple intention: sustained, supported inner transformation. Each week we meet twice on Zoom for guided meditations and enquiries, and once per month for a deeper-dive workshop and Q&A.
Its a consistent, steady container for genuine healing and awakening to take hold.
So, if you resonate with the teachings I’ve been sharing, and feel genuinely called to walk a deeper path of inner transformation, I would love to welcome you.
See the link to join in the comments.
Much love
Chris.

My friends!
The absolute number one difference between people who make real changes in their lives, who come into a place of real freedom and healing, and those who don't, is commitment.
I have found over the last 10 years of teaching meditation & somatic healing, that it is those who give themselves 100% to their healing who are the most likely to make real and lasting change.
So often we run a course or retreat, and people are making great changes in their lives, and then we check in a year later and they have completely fallen off the wagon.
So I created Returning Home, an online monthly membership where we meet live twice per week on Zoom for guided practices and meditations, and once per month for a deep dive workshop and Q&A.
It's the price of a gym membership, so why not trade your 6-pack for the bliss of Being ;)
Both sessions are recorded, so even if life gets in the way, you never miss out. Come live when you can, and catch up when you can't, the important thing is that you keep showing up.
"What a journey. Working with Chris over the past few months has been one of the most important and rewarding things to ever happen to me. I've learnt how to be with my thoughts, process and accept my emotions, and live without constant fear and anxiety. It's been a real life changer." - Lee
''Chris has got a warm, patient way of bringing the unexplainable into the space. Above all, Chris embodies what he is teaching. His calm centredness transfers to the participants in other ways than just by words.'' - Gaby
If you resonate with the work I share and feel genuinely called to go deeper, I would love to welcome you in to the group.
I'll drop a link to sign up in the comments
Much love

No matter how much meditation and somatic healing work you do, if you are still addicted to scrolling on your phone, you will be taking 2 steps forwards and then 2 steps back.
As well as these amazing healing practices, it's also so important to shift away from habits that are negatively affecting the nervous system.

I've been at a music festival this weekend, and I was blown away by almost every act. Feeling the music through my whole body. Standing in the audience dancing away, there was this sense of absolute completeness inside.
I hadn't always felt it like this.
I was listening to the music, but not really feeling it, not fully there, too in my head to really be with what the artists were transmitting.
After all these years of doing this work, with a quieter mind, and a quieter heart, the simple things in life just hit different.
Life hits different when you have been through hell and come out of the other side.
Your heart, in being broken open a thousand times, becomes much more sensitive to the simple magical of life.
Instead of just experiencing life through the 5 senses, you feel your way through life with your heart.
Your laughter becomes more real.
Your pain becomes more sweet.
Gradually the noise begins to settle. And as it does, life starts to feel lighter. Simpler things bring more joy. You can finally just be, and its such a relief.
RETURNING HOME — A Monthly Live Membership | Online via Zoom
This is a place for those suffering in some way, who are really looking to come back to a place of rest inside, who are wanting an end to the constant healing and spiritual search, who want to come to place where they naturally just enjoy the simple pleasure of life again.
Each month includes:
2 x live weekly guided meditations on Zoom (Mon 7:15pm & Thu 12:30pm)
A monthly 90-minute deep-dive workshop with live Q&A
A community space to connect with like-minded people
Email support from me throughout

Have you noticed that most of humanity is in a near continual state of running away from themselves?
Scrolling through phones, watching endless TV, unable to truly listen to others, lost in work or responsibilities, never really stopping to smell the roses.
It has become so normal that we don't even notice it most of the time.
The 17th century philosopher Blaise Pascal captured it perfectly: "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone."
Almost all of our stress, worry and feelings of discontent come from the fact that we cannot bear to simply be with ourselves. We are, for the most part, afraid to truly stop and be, afraid of our own feelings, afraid of our own inner worlds.
Embodiment is the antidote to this.
Through embodiment practices we learn to truly stop, to face our own inner worlds, emotions and feelings with curiosity and compassion. We learn to become present in our bodies, and in doing so we break our very habituated tendency to escape into ruminating and overthinking up in our heads.
Something really wonderful happens when we are able to fully come down out of our heads and back into our bodies. We feel connected to a sense of well-being, peace and joy that we may remember experiencing in childhood.
Life becomes less 'serious', our anxiety and stress levels drop, and we generally start becoming more happy, open-hearted people.
Many of you have already touched something of this through the videos shared on the channel.
If you'd like to go deeper, we'd love to invite you to our free online 30-minute Beginners Guide to Embodiment workshop. It's a wonderful place to start — giving you a real taste of what embodiment practice feels like, and some simple tools you can begin carrying into your everyday life.

Check out my good friend Doms channel! We hit it off a couple of years ago over a shared love for truth, and a similar history of extreme spiritual seeking during our 20s. It's rare, but I always love to meet people who have gone 'all or nothing' towards awakening.

A few of you have been asking if I offer 1–1 sessions.

You can book a single session, or go deeper with a 5-week 1–1 programme.
