The Body Schema with Richard Valasek
This is a recording of a SOBI sponsored study group.
Taking a phenomenological view of Ortho-Bionomy, we will hold focus as much as possible on your own experience as a practitioner. The body schema is your body's own subjective experience of itself. The body schema works in at least three moods: the indicative, the imperative, and the subjunctive. That is to say, it describes how the body is arranged in relation to its immediate surround (indicative mood), it gives commands (imperative), and considers possibilities (subjunctive). The subjunctive is the as-if body. Before the flesh-body moves through space, it is preceded by the as-if body.
The body schema plays a key role in responding to trauma.
I consider Chapman's Reflex Network to be of the body schema.
The last section of this pot of notes is a kind of list of things—practices—we might do. And wonder together about. Praxis.
