**Prepare to Listen**

Before we understand words, we understand rhythm.

A baby resting against its mother’s chest is surrounded by breath, heartbeat, warmth and gentle movement. These steady rhythms offer comfort, connection and a felt sense of safety.

We don’t outgrow our response to rhythm.

The repeating sound of the breath can soften competing noise and give our attention somewhere simple to rest. We don’t need to control the breath, deepen it or make it perform.

We can simply listen.

**Listen deeply to your body—this is interoception.**

💧 **Begin by preparing the senses**

The Embodied I Ching movement **Ear Massage and Ear Press** belongs to **Water in the Third Eye Chakra**.

Water softens inner resistance.
The Third Eye refines perception.
Together, they prepare us to notice.

1. Gently massage the outer ears.
2. Softly press or cover the ears.
3. Pause and notice the quieter inner sound.
4. Release your hands and notice the space around you.

🌬️ **Then listen to your breath**

This practice is supported by **Wind in the Throat Chakra**.

Wind invites gentle movement.
The Throat invites listening.
Together, they create a usable pause.

1. Settle comfortably.
2. Soften your jaw and shoulders.
3. Let your breath move naturally.
4. Listen to each inhale and exhale.
5. Continue for one to three minutes—or as long as feels supportive.

There is nothing to achieve.

If listening inward feels uncomfortable today, choose another steady sound: rainfall, waves, rustling leaves or the hum of a fan.

**Micro-reflection:**
What changes when I listen deeply to my body? How am I feeling in this moment?

First prepare the senses.
Then listen without forcing.

Cultivate Chi, Ki, or Prana, the life force of energy that is all around us and that is a part of us.

Have you tried before? Do you do Yoga, Tai Chi, or Qi Gong? You are already moving life force. Are you breathing? Yup, I asked it. Then you are moving prana.

Our energy body is our own healing medicine; cultivate, nourish and store this for your holistic well-being.

To all of you - words of insight from my mentor and teacher Rhyn Nasser, with The Embodied IChing.

Embodied I Ching: A Living Tradition

Over the last few years, something beautiful has begun to unfold.

There are now a growing number of Embodied I Ching Practitioners and Masters out in the world, each holding workshops, supporting people, and bringing these teachings to life through their own unique expression.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing this work continue to evolve through people who have truly lived it.

People often ask me,

"What makes Embodied I Ching different from the classical I Ching?"

While both honour the same ancient wisdom, the distinction isn't simply in interpretation.

It's in cultivation.

Embodied I Ching isn't primarily about understanding the wisdom intellectually.

It's about becoming fluent in it.

Rather than only studying the trigrams, we learn to feel them.

To cultivate them.

To embody them.

Embodied I Ching is the cultivation of a living relationship with the elemental qualities that already exist within us.

Those qualities are not something we acquire.

They are something we remember, cultivate and learn to trust.

Some elemental qualities become over-expressed.

Others become underdeveloped.

Some become so disconnected that we no longer recognise them within ourselves.

The work of cultivation is to restore that relationship.
That is the heart of Embodied I Ching.

A disciplined path of bringing these elemental qualities into lived experience.

An Embodied I Ching Practitioner helps guide people into direct relationship with these elemental qualities through the depth of their own training, lived cultivation and embodied presence-creating the conditions for others to begin that journey for themselves.

Through a clear embodied methodology, practitioners learn to turn inward, developing a direct relationship with these qualities until they become lived experience rather than conceptual understanding.

We don't simply teach people to think differently about the trigrams.

We teach them how to cultivate them.

This is why the work is called Embodied I Ching.

It isn't about adopting a philosophy.

It is about allowing these principles to become alive within you.

One of my master's greatest teachings was simple:

"Don't study the I Ching intellectually. Practice the Nine Palace Bagua, and the teachings will reveal themselves."

He told me it would take five years.

It was closer to nine before a living methodology began to emerge - one that could help these ancient principles become tangible, embodied and deeply transformational for others.

That journey became what we now call Embodied I Ching.

The aim has never been to give people more information.
It's to help people reconnect with the intelligence already within them.

Every person arrives with a different level of connection between their body, being and soul.

For many, awareness has become scattered.

The work of cultivation gently gathers what has become divided, restoring relationship, presence and coherence from within.

Every practitioner carries their own unique transmission.

No two sessions should ever feel identical.

Because every human being is in a different season of life.
A different cycle.

A different conversation with these elemental qualities.

Each practitioner brings their own life experience.

Their own gifts.

Their own expression.

The principles remain constant. Their expression is alive.

The cultivation is shared. The expression is unique.

An Embodied I Ching Practitioner isn't simply interpreting symbols.

They are listening.

Feeling.

Guiding.

Supporting the nervous system to settle.

Helping people feel what was previously unavailable.

Cultivating what had become dormant.

Returning awareness to where life is waiting to be lived again.

Creating the conditions where insight isn't borrowed from a book
- but arises through direct lived experience.

This is why I've rarely recommended a single I Ching book to everyone.

The right teaching depends on where someone is in their own unfolding.

More often than not, I encourage people to cultivate their own relationship with these elemental qualities first as they develop their relationship with the I Ching.

This is what every Embodied I Ching Practitioner shares.

Different personalities.

Different gifts.

Different expressions.

The same depth of cultivation.

The same commitment to helping people return to themselves.

Because when the body becomes fluent, the teachings stop being something we study.

They become something we embody.

Watching practitioners now carry these principles into their own communities is incredibly humbling.

That, to me, is the real beauty of Embodied I Ching.

It isn't simply a way of interpreting the I Ching.

It's a way of becoming transformed by it.

It's not a method to believe in.

It's a relationship to cultivate.

And when that relationship becomes alive...

The wisdom doesn't come from outside of you anymore.

It begins to emerge from within.

The classical I Ching teaches us how to understand change.

Embodied I Ching teaches us how to become it.

I love this one. Not the guy, obviously; all those muscles are initially distracting, but my favourite man on the planet, David Attenborough.

I caught this vid a while ago and just love any chance I get to move the needle on understanding and integration of our energy body, our biofield, or bioplasmic field, to be more accurate.

A great book is "Tuning the Human Biofield' by Eileen Day McKusick. I'm not an affiliate but love her work. This book is a low-key personal discovery and refinement that became her Soul Purpose. I am so grateful she embraced her purpose to share, since it is a massive door she has opened for many, many people to walk through.

🌿 Big Life Changes? Then you are RECALIBRATING.
Have you tried using the gentle elemental energy of water and simple micro-practices to support you through your adjustment period?💧🌊💦

🐦‍🔥 Simple systems like Nao Wellbeing's Micro-Practices are a sure way to guide and facilitate the Big Life Changes.

Nao Wellbeing incorporated Micro-Practices as the principal fundamentals in supporting women, children and men who are looking for a way to deal with and manage change.

🌀Change is a universal constant, isn't it? We are all in a constant state of change.

As a whole-body system, this affects our multidimensional self: emotional, physical, spiritual, energetic, and mental dimensions of ourselves.

Yet there's a clear disconnect in our learning, training, upbringing and education; how to remain in a state of peace throughout the navigation and implementation of changes in our lives.

To recalibrate is to align with your inner truth, that self we find layers of society burying our light with expectations, acceptance requirements, and inner child safety systems. ❤️‍🩹

Oftentimes, change feels unstable, uncertain, insecure, and unknown.😩
With these come fear, anger, frustration, sadness, loss, and a general sense of dysregulation within our bodies, hearts, and minds. This is not a fixed state of being; change needs reflection, habit shifts, pattern recognition, compassion and empathy. Have hope for your situation. 🍀

🌀 Recalibration is not always graceful.
Sometimes it feels like life is dismantling.
Beliefs, patterns, and expectations that once helped us feel safe are being asked to shift to make room for our new desired state of being peaceful, calm, and more aware.

Yet beneath the disruption, something deeper may be shifting. 🌊

🌀 A metaphysical recalibration invites us to question what we believe about ourselves, our purpose and the way we move through life. It can feel rough because our inner world is adjusting to a truth we can no longer ignore.

For this journey, I chose the element of Water.💦
Water does not force transformation.💧
It flows, penetrates, softens and steadily reshapes from within.🏞️

Through Micro-Practices for reflection, movement and ritual, we can meet change with greater curiosity:

💭 Micro-Coaching: What is this experience asking me to understand?
🌊 Micro-Movement: What can I gather, nourish and gently release?
🫶 Micro-Ritual: Where can I create a quiet moment for my energy to settle?

Recalibration does not always need force. Sometimes it needs flow.
Holistic wellbeing includes the subtle energy body.
This reel holds gentle micro-practices to support you now, today, for the changes in life are always taking place, and today you have a simple share of what works for me.
