So if we want wholeness, we must start with a wholeness and practice wholeness. The starting point is so obvious it is no wonder we overlook it. The starting place is our own body. When we look at our makeup we see a body, a mind and a heart. Of the three, only the body has a whole integrity of form.
Nature sees to that.
But our minds have to be formed and so too, in a different way, do our hearts. The body has a wholeness and it is because of its accessibility that we are able to journey to greater and greater wholeness. Though we are enthralled with our bodies and all its needs and doings, yet we are out of touch with the body as a whole. We feel only that part of the body that is being used in an activity, we feel only that part of the body that is in pain, or pleasure. That experience of water or heat or cold or sweat gives us a foretaste of what a whole-body experience is like.
