EP62: Why your body knows things about trees that your mind will never understand
transcript
show notes
A guided contemplative practice. Lean your back against a tree for five minutes of sensory presence.
Robin opens with Tommy Cooper's "pick a card, any card." It becomes a playful doorway into stillness.
He walks through breath, posture, and bodily sensation. The body settles into rhythm with its surroundings.
The episode then turns reflective. Civilisation has distanced us from sensory, embodied intelligence.
From hands-in-food eating to chairs and utensils, we've lost touch with our senses. This simple act of leaning against bark reclaims something.
It's "the oldest conversation," Robin says. One living nervous system meeting another.
