The Body is the Medium of Life

This is an inescapable truth. The most immediate environment through which human beings experience living is the body. The body can be perceived as separate from the self, (and many wester practices do encourage this view,) yet that is not the way life is experienced. I do not HAVE a body, I AM BODY. My body receives the sensory information that I evaluate and incorporate into my self and informs me of the next appropriate functional response. What if I lived life in a more “in-bodied” way? How would this perceptual shift change my understanding of my environment and my functioning and role within my environment?
