The Body

Your body has been telling you the truth for years.

The tight chest before certain meetings. The ease around certain people. It has a complete record of everything your mind has talked you out of.

Somatic knowing is the oldest form of intuition. Spiritual practice that ignores the body tends to produce people who can speak beautifully about peace and cannot sit still for ninety seconds. The body is not the obstacle to the work. It is the instrument.

Information arriving before the story does.

Treating the body as a problem to transcend rather than a partner to consult.

• Once a day, ask the body a question and wait for the physical answer.

• Notice where yes lives and where no lives.

• Ground after every opening practice — water, food, movement.

• Where does my body say no that my mouth says yes?

• What sensation have I been overriding?

• What does safety feel like physically?
