Chapter 3

Coming home to our bodies

“Your body isn’t going anywhere; it is always there ready to come home to teach you and guide you.”

In this chapter

Once we are awake, once we have taken back our attention, what else, who else, might we discover? What if you discovered a lifelong friend, who had been alongside you for every experience of your life so far, every thought, hope, worry and joy? Your body.
