johncomica moment of connectedness and wholeness
I had massage this morning [yay], and there was a time when my RMT was working on my back... and I suddenly had a sense that she was working on me.
I have spent much of my life feeling disconnected from my body -- often consciously so. As if my body were a vehicle that Actually Me uses to get around in, or a set of tools to provide sensory input to Actually Me. I suspect this may partly underlie why I have never taken very good care of it for most of my life, and continue to skimp on its maintenance. But for a while today, I felt like my body was just as much me as my mind and my spirit, and the perceived boundaries between them faded away, and I was just me and all me. It was a quietly nice feeling which has given me food for contemplation.
