Today's conversation is with Russell Delman.
Russell has been on a path of awareness for more than 50 years.
His teaching, and his life, are an integration of Zen meditation, Feldenkrais Movement, Compassionate Communication and Focusing. He credits profound teachers, especially his wife of 52 years Linda and his daughter Liliana, as the great gifts in his life.
In today’s conversation, Russell reflected on embodiment and presence as lived experience rather than something to be achieved. We explored how slowing down allows habitual, fear-based patterns to recede into the background, making space for a deeper field of awareness to come forward. Russell spoke about presence as a practice of sensing before reacting, and how embodiment offers a direct path back to authenticity, trust, and immediacy in daily life.
Throughout the conversation, we returned to resonance—how the body and nervous system communicate truth beyond concepts, and how relational attunement shapes what feels safe, real, and alive. Rather than offering techniques, Russell emphasized creating conditions for awareness to emerge, inviting a continual return to humility, vulnerability, and presence as the ground for connection, relationship, and meaningful change.
