Embodied awareness practitioner Jill Satterfield joins Raghu to unpack how meditative poses, creativity, and slowing down can help us release pain, move energy, and heal somatically.
In this delightful episode of the Mindrolling Podcast, Raghu and Jill Satterfield converse about:
- Out-of-body experiences through immersive art and altered states of consciousness
- Jill’s college days and spiritual insights from taking peyote in the desert
- Finding a spiritual path through chronic pain and emotional suffering
- How trauma and pain disconnect us from bodily awareness
- The physiological impact of imagination on the body and nervous system
- How meditative and yogic poses can open areas of our body & psyche for exploration
- Witnessing processes within the body via ‘slowing down, staying in something, and moving energy’
- Somatic healing during retreat and bringing concentration into the body
- Adaptive postures for meditation and yoga, and allowing flexibility within our practice

About Jill Satterfield:
Jill Satterfield has been a quiet pioneer in the integration of embodied awareness practices and Buddhist teachings for over 30 years. Her heart/mind and body approach developed from somatic and contemplative psychology, 35 years of Buddhist study, extensive meditation retreat time and decades of living with chronic pain. At the invitation of her primary teacher, Ajahn Amaro, Jill was the first to offer mindful movement and somatic practices on silent retreats at Spirit Rock Meditation Center and then the Insight Meditation Society 30 years ago. She has developed teacher trainings and mentoring programs that integrate embodied awareness with Dharma ever since. Learn more about Jill’s numerous offerings on her website.
"Imagination creates a physiological response. What you imagine changes your body—it changes your mind. If you're thinking about your guru, your teacher, someone you love, it changes your body." – Jill Satterfield
