‘i am not my body’

I saw this piece
fully-formed
in my mind during
a re­cent physical
re­lax­ation practice.

But it also dates back …
when I was about 6 or 7,
at the be­gin­ning of what
would be a 13-year,
20+ hour a day bid in a
back brace for Scoliosis,
I had the thought,

“I am not my body”

—in hind­sight my first
ex­pe­ri­ence of the observer
mind and the way we can
man­age the different
di­men­sions of our self.

That knowl­edge of the
dif­fer­ence between
con­scious­ness and
phys­i­cal­i­ty has since
been a teacher, and this
im­age is also a reminder.
