Wisdom exists as knowledge that is embodied, meaning that it is knowledge we live by, act out, move through our bodies, and put from the dimension of the mind into our reality, into our world.
The edge of wisdom is the liminal space between mind and soil, where ideas and insights are twining threads forming the corded rope of lived experience. It is where we are still learning and applying.
This is where mindfulness and meditation come in. The practice of meditation enables us to see this edge as it’s forming in real-time. It is a light in the dark room of our habits and patterns. Mindfulness is seeing in real-time these habitual ways of being and choosing whether or not we wish to change them. Mindfulness helps us act differently; through seeing in real-time how we are reacting to input, we are enabled to truly live out our insights and turn them into embodied, lived wisdom.
