The Body and the Mind
THE BODY AND MIND
My idea of the body: the way that I notice that one's way of life is reflected in the body, in its posture, muscle tone, atmosphere, etc.
∑ the bottom of the feet: the ground for one's life – should be lively, strongly experienced, steady, balanced
∑ the part of the feel under the knees: how we rest on that base
∑ hips and thighs: how much room we have in life, how wide is the base of our lives for us (rigid thought structures and consequent way sof living or emotional intelligence and the consequent possibility for variation according to situation)
∑ the soft part of the stomach: feelings ( feelings connect to how much the situations of life meet our needs in living requirements)
∑ the groin: sexuality – sexuality is typically connected strongly to a strong social relationship which affects a lot our possibilities in life (hips and thighs) and so affects strongly our feelings too (stomach)
∑ solar plexus: how much courage we have to enlargen our life to new areas (or are we stuck to old habits and old ways because of fear)
∑ chest: social feelings, courage in specific situations of life
∑ shoulders: our strenght to carry things in life and in the world at large
∑ neck: the burdens that life situationbs and social relationships place on us
∑ upper neck: the course of action that we take in life
∑ the back and the top of the head: compassionate goals in life at large
∑ the top of the head: spirituality, a world completely well arranged, healthy moral goals in life connecting to the world at large
∑ head, especially the eye area: one's picture of the world
∑ upper arms: the strenght that we have in specific life situations
∑ lower arms: our action in specific tasks + expression of emotional states of mind by sincere gesture langiuaage
∑ fingers: finely tuned practical details of action in cooperation with the sense of sight
The body should form a whole, all the adjagent parts supporting the action of each other and of the whole. The "spiritual" goals guide the life in the world at large and the feelings take care that we get good living conditions for ourselves and for the teaks that we set ourselves into.
