The Journey of a Lifetime
People travel the whole wide world looking for novelty and adventure. They want to learn about other cultures, places, peoples, and languages. Yet the greatest territory of all to explore is right where you areyour own body. You dont have to set aside time from work for a long vacation. You dont have to get shots or a visa to go abroad. You dont have to save up a heap of money. And you dont need a special wardrobe or luggage. You just need yourself.
Discovering the Bodys Wisdom is a passport to begin your journey of exploration and discovery in the most fascinating, miraculous, and meaningful land youll ever traverse. Through such a voyage, I hope you will come to regard your body not as foreign territory but as home.
Take a moment to check in with your body right now. How comfortable are you? Are you curled up in an easy chair? Sitting at a desk or kitchen table? Standing at a bus stop or in a train station? Lying in bed on your side or propped up against pillows? In this moment, stop to observe how you feel in that position. Does your body tell you, I feel at ease, supported? Or does it say, My shoulders and neck are tight, My lower back aches, My right foot hurts? Are you slouching, hunching over, or pressing your weight down onto one leg and foot instead of standing on both?
Most of us go through the day without being aware of how we are in our bodies and what they are trying to communicate. We tune our bodies out in order to get our jobs done, finish our commutes home, and run our errands before we finally lie down and go to sleep, and we hope to wake up feeling good. Even when our bodies finally get our attention with excruciating sensations that we cant ignore, do we listen as they tell us what they want, what they need? Do we know how to respond other than to shut them up by popping a pill, drinking alcohol, turning on the television, or getting overly busy?
The human body is not an instrument to be used, but a realm of ones being to be experienced, explored, enriched and, thereby, educated.
Thomas Hanna
What can you do for the tight neck and shoulders, the aching back, the painful foot? How about the recurring pain from an old running injury or the fact that you tire easily? Are you unable to bend over or turn your head fully right and left? Or maybe youre pain-free, but you sense you can stretch your limits. Youre curious how much better you can perform, how much more gracefully you can move, how much more pleasure you can experience, how free and lithe you can feel. Instead of ignoring or anesthetizing your body, consider working with it in a cooperative way.
