<b>Conversing with your body</b> involves learning how to communicate with your body in a reliable manner, without interpreting vague signals or making assumptions. Reliable communication has two components: clear-cut action intentions that your body can understand, and clear-cut sensory responses that direct or discourage the clearly intended action. If you intend an action, your body will understand that action intention. If you pay careful attention to a single body part when you intend that action, your body can respond with behavior-directing sensations that encourage or discourage that intended action. | |||
The following are lessons on how to get this communication working, and the associated difficulties and risks. | |||
