@Ida On bodies and knowing, I think for me, there's always a question of 'how can i really know, how can i be sure that this is my body, and not my brain deceiving me?' (i.e. War of Art etc). I feel like I'm slowly opening towards more body awareness, and maybe there's a clue in seeing where the wantings of my body and the wantings of my mind diverge (and curiousity where the mental wantings come from - usually old things! craving, habit, anger etc). Enjoying reading you a lot - thanks for thinking out loud here :) !
Ooo this is a really interesting point, Stephanie! Thank you so much for sharing this perspective on mind and body, and thank you for your kind words. :))
