Which is more essential to experience: knowledge of mind, or knowledge of body?
I think a lot of people tend to gravitate towards pursuing the mind, since their suffering or confusion seems to arise from the thoughts, moods, and feelings which seem to come from an unrestrained mind. However, I’ve slowly come to the understanding in life that a great many of the troubles of the mind are actually just troubles of the body, transposed by the mind in order to justify its own suffering.
Somatic knowledge is also a worthy pursuit in and of itself. To know what it feels like to run, leap, do handstands, sit quietly, eat a meal which nourishes the body, and everything in between… it’s wonderful to be alive!
