The mind is in every inch of your body. They discovered years ago that cells have memory. That's because your mind is in all the cells. When you work with these children you get a sense that they're not all there, that sometimes they are right next to their bodies, that their essence is floating above them. When you leave your body, it's because you are not happy there.
Therapists call it disassociation.
Um, you don't know. You can come in with a severe disassociation, yes. In terms of autism, every child I have seen has had an emotional or physical trauma in a previous lifetime. He was made to walk through the field where his soldiers lay dying and he had the choice to either kill them so they wouldn't continue suffering, or let them die on their own. Every time he made the decision, he split from his physical body.
