“For as long as I can remember, I have had the distinct sensation of being separate from the body that ‘contains’ me. It was as if it was another being altogether. This lead to resentment, which led to neglect, which, inevitably, resulted in discomfort and illness. With Donnella’s generous and creative teaching I was allowed to experience first-hand the fabulous architecture of this fantastic body of mine. Not only did I discover the various quirks of muscles and the surprising color of bones, but I was delighted by a renewed sense of engagement as I moved through my days. I looked forward to class time. The personal sharing amongst classmates also deepened my respect for the ‘containers’ of others so that while I was concentrating on the physical beat of my heart I became aware of my emotional heart opening as well.”
