Our bodies are ALIVE is a statement suggesting that we physically and energetically exist as dynamic and active beings. Even when unaware, our bodies are engaging and mapping all that exists around them and consequently are creating and supporting narratives we would do well to investigate. These narratives have the power to lodge within the scripts of our bodies while at the same time continuing to inform our choices and decisions without explicit permission. We are so much more than our physical brains because our minds exist throughout the entirety of our bodies; they are bodies that can hold knowledge and wisdom from ages past and have the ability to inform themselves. Intentional mining of this gold within can significantly inform the impact leaders have on others and the state of their own physical and mental health. Any healing and liberative work then begins with self-literacy. From the disciplines of neuroscience, womanist theology, psychology, and indigenous spirituality, conversations with African American clergy women reveal fascinating insights on embodied self-relationship, pain, and healing, as well as paths toward more integrated and effective leadership practices. It is ultimately an invitation to radical self-regard, respect of body intelligence, and the process of healing FIERCELY.
