Spending time on mundane things really grounds me. Well, perhaps they are not mundane after all. Today one of the actors asked, "so when you say, 'I'm in my body', what does that mean? I'm sure each person has a different way of feeling 'in my body'. In my case, what this means has been changing. In the old days, it meant 'grounded'. I felt sturdy, certain, invincible and malleable when I could feel my body connecting with the ground and the environment around me. This sensation has been evolving over the past decades into something like 'permeability'. It is when I go into parasympathetic mode, my body's chemical makeup seems to shifts and doors open to perceive everything I'm in contact with. This is when a trash can stops being a trash can. A glass in front of my eyes start taking on more present. I feel 'I AM' without thinking 'i am'. I exists as an entity. I coexist with every living being. We are in a continuum. This, to me, is what 'in my body' means. When I engage in mundane activities, I feel and sense this shift. Touching vegetables or weeding or washing dishes, all make me feel 'I AM'.
