You can’t feel your body. You are your body. One of the greatest things I ever learned. Weight and breathing as examples. Vid re-posted, cos it’s cool. What you feel as your weight, is not your weight. You can’t feel your weight, you are your weight. You feel the forces on you through your contact with the ground. When you feel heavy, it’s because those forces are out of balance. With breathing, you don’t breathe. You are your breathing. Breath is the interaction of forces too, forces from the ground, but also air pressure pushing on you and into you, and the elasticity of your body. That air pressure is about a tonne on you - big, big forces. But you can use it to your advantage, to effortlessly breathe. Just as you can use the forces of gravity to effortlessly sit, stand, lift and move.
