Physicality in Embodiment

I couldn't help but feel, lately, that notions of embodiment that I've been reading about don't actually make much of a connection with the corporeal body. If they do, they seem to argue that the body is a part of the mind, and forget about how also the mind is a part of the body. Maybe the term "em-mind-iment" is needed. At any rate, I'm beginning to suspect that my personal notion of embodiment may, to some extent, echo Streibel's (1998) argument for physicality, which unfortunately (though perhaps not ironically), is not online.
