A Lenten Exercise

Pick a “thing” like money or lima beans or a poem - go through your body parts, organs and sense functions and ask them how they feel or sense themselves in relation to the chosen "thing.". Write down the responses - writing is very essential to this exercise as it manifests your experience in the world. Practice this once a day, or once a week. Choose "things" that you love, that are unfamiliar, that are addictions, that are safe or dangerous.

This exercise will connect your mind with your body. It strengthens your conscious (True I) relationship to your physical and etheric bodies. It empowers you and liberates you and truly heals.

Here is work I did around money.

My feet feel around money like they will be put on hot coals or glass shards. I feel like they are curling up and cannot touch the ground or take my weight.
My calves feel hard and weightless
My knees feel tickled and sloppy.
My thighs don’t exist.
My vagina feels closed up and angry
My hips hurt and feel rough
My hands are sensitive and tingle - they want to grasp something strong and meaningful
....

My lungs feel heavy and leaden.
My liver feels frustrated and toxic - can’t do its job.
My brain feels dizzy
My throat feels open, a little numb, wanting to speak.
My kidneys feel fried and bouncy.
My gut feels stuck and weightless.
....

My hearing feels clenched and muffled.
My seeing feels like I am looking into a bright light and can’t see any details.
My taste feels bored.
My sense of temperature is chilled below my chest and hot above my chest.
My smell is eager for sensation...there is not enough to smell.
