The Art of Embodiment for Men: Using the ANI Framework and Daily Practices to Tame Anxiety, Heal Trauma, and Conquer Your Nice Guy Tendencies

If there is any level of conflict or disconnection between you and your woman (or the dating experience keeps coming up short, no 3rd, 4th+ dates, a pattern of getting ghosted, or lack of connection repeatedly, or sparks followed by breakups within a few months), the real-world wisdom in this text will provide a go-to platform for your frame of mind to shift into a place that obliterates all of the above chaos, frustration, sadness, and confusion over the feminine. Those are big claims. I stand firmly by them.I have a library in my home, full of books I've read from business to relationships to aerodynamics to biographies.This book is in the top 5 out of several hundreds of books I've read and sit on my shelves.Specifically, GS lays out in highly-relational detail (you'll be thinking, "omg, has he been walking next to me during conflicts with my woman or during my dating?"), what is going on within you, THAT YOU ARE LIKELY UNAWARE OF, that is the core root behind most mens' struggles with other humans, particularly the feminine, at home, at work, and in the world.If you just read chapter 6, and really internalized it at say 50%, I'd be shocked if you didn't see a 75% improvement in your experience with the feminine within a few days. I stand by this claim, personally (and no, I do not know GS... this is my truth from my experience with the book).Examples from the book that I related to:-escaping the thinking state most men default to, that repels the feminine (page 82: .thinking mind is strong as a result of years of nonstop content consumption.. your attention is habitually a "thinking attention" ...[which] considers, labels, categorizes, maps." (this will not foster a connection with our women)-the difference between thinking attention emanating from the mind to the body VS visceral attention opening and RECEIVING the physical experiences of the body (page 83)-grounded experiencing... escaping the trap of applying the past to the present. Separately, downloading vs. streaming. "a static picture in your mind of who your partner is" VS "making constant updates based on your direct experience of her in every moment." "...[she] is not the same person she was a year ago... cultivate the capacity to see who and what is actually there, in the Now." (page 98)-stillness (page 101)... this section, reveals the lack of stillness within you (me) and the devastating results, which you probably experience (I do, did... but now feel capable to redirect so the feminine feels heard, safe, open.)-the part of chapter 6 about heart... this is another section that can change everything with your experience with the feminine in an instant. Flip to page 107. On page 108, "...the rotes of relationship conflict can often be traced to one thing: she can't feel the connection between the two of you. And she can't feel your inner stat, nor feel you feeling HER inner state." Chew on that. Then fix it.This book will help. And you'll be happier, feel more connected to the world, have a more colorful life, and die with more peace as a vindicated warrior of love, the feminine, and your purpose.

Liked how such powerful concepts are explained in an easy to understand manner. Great companion book to Masculine in Relationship

I have suspected for years that meditation would help me I've even done some intensives but always struggled to "get it." I find myself in my head a lot, sometimes ruminating, and just missing out on what should be many great moments in life. This book has been the best approach I've seen yet. It's recommended to read Masculine in Relationship first. Embodiment is a section of that book but the author goes into much more detail in this book. It's very detailed and gives very specific instructions which I like. I know I will need to read it a few more times. And yeah, I'm working on my relationship and that's how I found GS Youngblood. The unexpected part of all this work is that in an effort to improve my relationship I am improving myself. Seems logical in hindsight but I am enjoying the change in myself regardless of the outcome in the relationship. Not surprising that being your best self would improve your relationships, right?! Definitely recommend these books for anyone looking for improve themselves and their relationships!

I recently shared a secret with my woman that shattered her world and have found myself in a panic trying to make up for the pain i caused, and in turn caused more damage. After having listened to GS Youngblood's first book "the masculine in relationship", this book was a must read. Unfortunately most of my reading is done through audiobook and that has not finished recording, so i purchased this paperback. I am glad i did, because this is a step by step guide for how to be grounded and present and out of your head which works wonders in your romantic relationship, but works wonders in professional relationships also. I am still reading this book in great detail, but even the concepts as explained in the first two chapters has a calming effect that you can make it through anything. I was very pleased to hear that an audio version would be released, and will purchase that as soon as it comes out. I cannot recomend GS's books enough to everyone i talk to.

If you are looking for an intellectual explanation of embodiment, this is not the book for you. This is a practical explanation of the things you can do to increase your grounded-ness when in the face of intense situations.The reality though is that reading the book is not going to solve the problem. You have to do the work. You can think of this as a roadmap on the journey, but you still have to make the drive.This will take diligent effort on your part, but now you will be able to do so with a list of actions and thought processes to get you there.

This book along with the video series is absolutely on point. When it comes to embodiment practices there is so much information out there it can be overwhelming especially to someone getting started. This book gets right to the point along with the videos to walk you through and make it practical and quite honestly cuts right through the fluff. Too many life coaches, instructors etc feel a need to go nuts with technique I think to justify their existence but that’s just me. Yeah this is NOT that. If your thinking about it do it you won’t be sorry 💪

This book and... more importantly... the application of the practices within it have been life-changing for me. Learning to truly feel into my masculine core has changed the way I carry myself and the way I show up for my partner, which has led to a much greater depth of connection between us. If you want to take your results to the next level, I highly recommend jumping into GS's online embodiment course. I can't recommend his teachings enough!

Getting back into my body and staying grounded has been a major part of my journey and this is a must-read for anyone looking to do the same.

To all men who are not so much masculine in nature do this work first before anything other to develop personality ( red pill/Game)etc.Doing otherwise will not work , first thing first

After doing menswork, martial arts and meditation for over a decade now - this book is a catalyst to bring my growthgame to the next level.must read for every man or person with a masculine core!!

This is a great follow-up to The Masculine in Relationship (read that first!) - but a quite different book. This book is not for those looking for a casual read or thinking exercise... but for those that are actually willing to take on a daily embodiment practice - DOING SOMETHING to ground your system and develop a masculine core - rather than just skimming the pages for some quick tips. I am currently doing the companion online course which I find excellent. Highly recommend GS's stuff!

Fantastic book to follow Masculine in Relationship. This book explains how and why we need to establish a daily embodiment practice to ground our nervous system and build our masculine core. Not simply a book for casual reading this is for those who are willing to commit the time to changing their lives through practice and consistent work. Highly recommend
