“In the instinctive psyche, the body is considered a sensor, an informational network, a messenger, with myriad communication systems — cardiovascular, respiratory, skeletal, autonomic, as well as emotive and intuitive.
In systems of bodywork such as the Feldenkrais Method, Ayurveda, and others, the body is understood variously as having six senses, not five. The body uses its skin and deeper fascia and flesh to record all that goes on around it. Like the Rosetta stone, for those who know how to read it, the body is a living record of life given, life taken, life hoped for, life healed. It is valued for its articulate ability to register immediate reaction, to feel profoundly, to sense ahead.”
