It’s time for us to be more in our bodies. In this culture, many of us are not really taught or invited into our bodies, at least in a somatic way, in a felt sense way. With the speed of life right now, the body is a great balancing element in our lives. It can bring us into the present moment instantly! And it can help us understand our own minds and bodies because it is a mirror. The body is a mirror to the mind, a mirror to the heart.
