While in yoga yesterday, I wondered if the body could express itself without a head, is there a way to vent your feelings below the neck?
It seems to me that the head holds all the valves of release.
Our tears are shed through our eyes, our mouths speak words, our beliefs and thoughts either match our feelings or deny them, but all the expressions are done above the neck, yet the feelings seem to be below.
We feel deeply with our heart, our gut has instincts and intuitively knows, we feel ‘something’ deeply in our bones, and the truth of our experiences seems to reside in the torso.
Yet the head is where we can articulate what the body feels.
It is like the head needs to tune into the body, open a line, and form a connection.
When the two are joined as one, we can live a life that is steered by feelings and emotions allowing us to express specifically our needs, wants and desires.
Living totally in the head leaves you separated from feelings and emotions.
I am not certain you can release emotions with out a head.
The vents are in the head as far as I can tell.
If a body is detached from the head, it just fills up with unexpressed emotions, which grows into rage, rage that explodes and subsides all without ever delving into their formation. I believe the root of disease.
A head that is detached from the body, is a senseless head.
A head that is making choices based on whims of others, for it has no roots, nothing to anchor it down, it is not grounded in feelings or emotions connected to your life, it floats a few feet ahead of your body.
Amazing to witness this, live this way and then get the opportunity to experience the rejoining of head to body, to feel feelings that have long been stuffed down, to go back in a life review of feelings.
