The Body as Home: The Mind, Body and Heart Relationship

 

We can live in our body without really knowing it - we can take it for granted until it becomes sick or injured. But why not radically accept it by taking care of it and opening the lines of communication between our bodies, heart and mind? We can experience our body as our home and begin to liberate the illusion of separateness of heart, mind and body. Being curious about and intimately knowing our physical and emotional body is a way to feel at home everywhere, to embrace our humanity, to be more engaged and live with more ease.
