35 - The Body Center; The "Container"

We talk about what the ‘container’ is and how it relates to the body center. The container is important in understanding emotions and sensations and allowing them to be felt, known, acknowledged, and understood. We talk about what it’s like to set up a container to allow these experiences to be explored, and how that could impact the connection to your body center.  We also discuss topics such as emotion versus sensation, trauma, expressing language, the unconscious body versus the subtle body, etc. Separating the narratives from what is the body and its sensations and natural instincts is where the work of the body center really takes place.
