Awakening Through the Body

Awakening Through the Body

Miles Kessler   March 20, 2026  
True awakening isn't just a climb toward emptiness and non-self — it's a return journey back into the body, the shadow, and the difficult terrain of relational conflict where all that practice gets tested. In this conversation, Keith Martin-Smith and Miles Kessler explore what embodied, integral awakening actually demands: not transcendence of the human, but a deeper, more honest inhabitation of it.
