"For every Person the basic reality of his being is his body. It is through his body that he experiences the world and by his body that he responds to it. If a person is out of touch with his body, he is out of touch with the reality of the world." Al. Lowen
Where does one go from a world of insanity? Somewhere on the other side of despair. - T.S. Eliot -
