body dharma

Body dharma is about bringing our practice into physical form.  It is rooting all of our experiences in the body and seeking a fully embodied creativity.

What it means to me is continually engaging the body in a spontaneous, authentic and improvisational way.  Practicing body dharma means that we are listening to and feeling the body all the time, and weaving that awareness into our moment-by-moment experience.  It is about listening at the cellular level.  It also means that we allow the body to be a teacher, a guide, and understand that it is a reflection of the presence or absence of harmony and balance in our lives.

I will be exploring this theme more this week.  In the meantime, I have just finished my new eBook, Breaking into Blossom.  It contains ten chapters on bringing more vitality and improvisation into your life.  You can order it here.

  1. I hear tingles in my upper back and tired legs. Too much sitting all winter and then spontaneously gardening perhaps? Actually I had a channeler/chiropractor tell me it was T5 and had to do with rage. I do believe there are opportunities for emotional healing hidden in the aches and pains I feel everyday.
