Wonderful essay, Jessica. Discovering our body and being consciously aware of its sensations and energy flows is so potent. Yet, sadly, all-too-easily easily neglected or even forgotten due to the addictive power of our thinking. One of my favorite sayings, from the Asaro Tribe of Papua New Guinea: "Knowledge is only a rumor until it lives in the muscle."
Thank you, Jessica, for this well-written and concise summary of the importance of having an embodied practice. Strengthening our embodiment is crucial to relating to reality as it is, rather than as we wish it to be. This is necessary for addressing the metacrisis. Again, thank you for bringing this aspect of being to our awareness.
