"Your body is your ground metaphor for life, the expression of your existance. It is your bible, your encyclopedia, your life story. Everything that happens to you is stored and reflected in your body. Your body knows. Your body tells. The relationship to your self to your body is indivisible, inescapable, unavoidable. In the marriage between flesh and spirit divorce is impossible, but that doesn't mean that the marriage is necessarily happy or successful.

So the body is where the dancing path to wholeness must begin. Only when you truly inhabit your body can the healing journey begin. So many of us are not in our bodies, really at home and vibrantly present there. Nor are we in touch with the basic rythms that constitute our bodily life. We live outside ourselves - in our heads, our memories, our longings - absentee landlords of our own estate. " - Gabrielle Roth
