One of the deepening understandings on the path is the understanding that the body is the vehicle for awakening. We are so accustomed to giving the mind and its activities almost unlimited attention. And we are unaccustomed to giving our body ruthless awareness. Do you have confidence yet that the body holds wisdom? Do you have confidence yet that the neutral body is a deep protection? Do you have confidence yet that the mind is actually revealed and healed through contact with the body?

Sometimes there is balance and we can look at the mind's activities and unwind them, but we want to know when our thinking or emotional mind is interfering with our well-being. And when it is interfering, we want to naturally move to contact with the body as a protector and alchemizer.

Don't underestimate the simple sensations in the inner body, feet, hands, or rhythm of the breath. Enough sincere moments contacting this mundane sphere will naturally and automatically "walk us into" a deeper understanding, and a clearer seeing. See if this is true.
