About this listen

Body As Witness is a guided return-to-self space — a place to come home to your body, your breath, and your sense of belonging inside yourself. This podcast is for anyone who has been tired, stressed, overwhelmed, or a little far away from themselves. Each episode offers gentle, grounded, body-based return practices that help your nervous system settle, orient, and remember how to feel safe enough to be present again. There is no pressure here. Nothing to fix. Nothing to perform. Just a place you can return to.© 2026 Joe Bakhmoutski Alternative & Complementary Medicine Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • The Campfire: Learning to Stop
    Feb 20 2026

    We gather at a quiet campfire to practice something many of us forgot how to do: stopping without collapsing. This episode explores how the nervous system resets not through effort, but through permission.

    Through gentle reflection and an embodied breath practice, we learn how to sit beside our experience without trying to fix it. Even restlessness is welcome here.

    If this work resonates for you, there’s a place on the website to share a reflection or simply say that you’re here:

  • Belonging Without Pressure
    Feb 12 2026

    This episode explores what it means for the body to be accompanied instead of managed. Regulation does not happen through control — it happens through being met.

    Through reflection and embodied practice, we experience the difference between fixing ourselves and staying with what’s already here. Activation becomes less frightening when it is no longer carried alone.

    This is an episode about companionship — the kind you build with others, and the kind you learn to offer yourself.
