Everything we have ever experienced in our lives is
accumulated in our bodies. Even when we only
imagine or dream things, the body reacts. In terms of
directness and sincerity, our body awareness can be
compared to how toddlers express themselves. The body
reacts without thinking, expressing immediately what it
feels. It responds to what we imagine. For example, if we
believe that lactose is unhealthy for us and then drink milk,
there’s a good chance that the body will respond with a
rumbling belly, even if it turns out that the milk is lactose-
free.
