Catalyst of the Body

The archetype of bodily experience that arrives as teaching.

Advanced definition

The pattern by which pain, pleasure, fatigue, hunger, and contact reach the body as material to be received and learned from.

Healthy application

Let the body speak first. Slow down enough to hear sensation as message.

Cautions

  • Acute pain or injury needs real medical care, not only reflection.
For reflection

"What is my body's catalyst right now asking me to honor?"
