2016.01.28 - Giant Body

Our bodies are a central focus for our experiences as human beings. Therefore,
it is important to carefully examine what typically makes up our conception of
a body--for the word 'typical' is taken for granted all too often. The following
exercise (page 21) can help reverse the tendency to make things familiar, a
tendency which actually blinds us to many of the fuller and richer qualities of
our experience. This exercise is especially valuable for attaining a heightened
appreciation of our bodies. A fresh perspective, grounded in 'felt reality', thus
may emerge from a kind of experiential review and challenge of our usual
preconceptions.
