Transformation of the Body

The archetype of the body's capacity to change form.

Advanced definition

The pattern of bodily change: training, healing, aging, illness, recovery — the threshold where one bodily configuration gives way to another.

Cautions

Forced transformation through deprivation or extreme practice often causes harm. Go slowly.

For reflection

"What bodily change is asking to be welcomed rather than forced?"
