| Dear Hillbilly, I read, but mostly skimmed the book you gave reference to. I didn't read it in detail, so I may be missing something. My impression from what I read is that a lot of what she says makes sense, but I think she may be focusing on the physical too much. In my experience, I had people not pay attension to their bodies at all and just work on the mental strain and that was enough. I think that we may tend to strain more with our bodies when under a mental strain and this should be avoided if possible. Its as if the mental tension is so great, that we tend to strain or brace with our bodies as to make it more tolerable. The root cannot be the use of the body, otherwise equivalents such as ulcers, blood clots, heart disases would not occur. I think it is primarly reducing the mental strain first then avoiding greater strain with our bodies and we also have to take in account the conditioning process. |
