DIARY ENTRY #2

Pforzheim, September 6th 2022 I am thinking of using Wolcott's 'Progressive Focusing' method. It reminds me of Leder's background  vs focused  'body usage' (ecstatic vs recessive body).   How, in doing this MA, am I choosing to acknowledge my body's healthy state? This is something I never thought about before... It has made me reflect on how I tend to put my body too much in the 'background', and this may lead to injuries.  I am working more intellectually  than I ever have in years...however, I feel strangely more aware of how important my body is. I feel like this journey is making me challenge Descartes' body-mind dualism. I am starting to reflect on ways in which I can incorporate this lesson into my teaching practice. How are body and mind supporting one another throughout all aspects of life?
