A Body-Centered Practice of Breath, Movement, Stillness & Integration
by Dr. J Emanuel Hodge
Embodied Meditation Practices
Meditation is often taught as stillness of the mind or control of thought.
For many people, that approach feels inaccessible—or ineffective.
Embodied Meditation Practices offers a different path.
This book presents meditation as a body-centered process, where breath, posture, movement, sensation, and awareness work together to support clarity, regulation, and presence. Rather than asking the mind to quiet itself, these practices give attention a physical home—allowing calm, focus, and insight to arise naturally.
Designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners, this book meets restlessness not as a problem, but as information. Through gentle movement, breath-led awareness, guided stillness, and integrative practices, readers learn how to work with the nervous system instead of against it.
Inside, you’ll find:
Grounded, accessible meditation practices for daily life
Movement-based approaches for restless or overactive states
Exhale-led techniques for nervous system downshifting
Guided meditations for clarity, emotional softening, and deep rest
A sleep-only mini-series designed for evening and recovery
Advanced and bonus practices emphasizing coherence over performance
This is not a book about achieving special states or perfect stillness.
It is an invitation to inhabit the body more fully—and to let awareness organize itself from within.
Whether you are new to meditation or returning to it in a more embodied way, Embodied Meditation Practices offers a practical, compassionate framework for cultivating presence that is honest, adaptable, and sustainable.
