WONDERS of the BODY

  • Gifts Sour & Sweet

  • The body moves through a range of experiences. All experience is valid. We have times of strength and weakness, injury and recovery, times of pain and freedom. We feel vital and exhausted. We are young and old and all of the things between. We are blessed with changing bodies and differing abilities.

  • The BODY digests, reproduces, heals, moves, breathes, sleeps, communicates, regulates blood flow & temperature, alarms and calms, ages and dies.

  • The SENSES: taste, smell, hear, see, touch.

  • Self-Inquiries

  • What is it like to have a body?

  • What is your sensory experience?

  • How do you connect or disconnect from the body?

  • How do you care for or disregard the body?

  • What lessons were you taught about the body?

  • What about its worthiness or unworthiness?

  • Am I just my body? Does the body contain my entire experience of being human?
