The Embodied Life with Russell Delman: Taking Responsibility & Finding Freedom

What happens when we stop blaming the world and begin to take full responsibility for our internal state? In this illuminating episode, we sit down with Russell Delman – founder of The Embodied Life – to explore how embodiment, awareness, and responsibility form the foundation for deep personal freedom.

Drawing from decades of spiritual practice and somatic exploration, Russell reflects on his path through Zen meditation, Gestalt therapy, and the Feldenkrais Method. He shares how reclaiming our presence and attention transforms not only our healing process, but also our capacity for meaningful relationship and authentic communication.

Russell’s approach bridges ancient insight with modern integration – offering a practical, compassionate path to wholeness rooted in the intelligence of the body.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Emotions as both sensation and narrative – and why that matters
  • The liberating power of taking responsibility for your emotions
  • How embodiment accelerates healing and self-acceptance
  • Why cultural conditioning keeps us disconnected from wholeness
  • The extraordinary life and mind of Moshé Feldenkrais
  • Tools for navigating relational tension with presence and grace

Russell’s warmth, wisdom, and clarity remind us that freedom isn’t found in the outer world – it’s cultivated from within.
