Season 1
Ep 1: An Introduction to Awareness
Trailer
In the debut episode of The Awareness Connection, co-hosts Dr. Ted Dimon and James French introduce some of the compelling themes they'll explore in the podcast. To kick us off, they broach the subject of educational vs. therapeutic models of awareness and delve into the distinction between scientific and educational approaches to observing awareness. Ted presents the concept of raising movement to a conscious level and examining our physicality — such as the significance of our upright design — highlighting the importance of engaging with awareness as a practical, embodied experience. Through this lens, they emphasize that awareness is not just about achieving stillness or insight but about engaging deeply with the body in action.
