Summary of David I. Rome's Your Body Knows the Answer

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Negative capability is the ability to be in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, and without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. It is crucial to the creative process and equally important in contemplative practices like meditation.

#2 The GAP exercise is a preparation step to finding the felt sense. It involves focusing your attention on your base, your seat, where your body is supported by whatever you are sitting on. Then, bring your attention to the head region, and experience the quality of presence. Finally, extend your grounded aware presence to include the environment around you.

#3 We are going to explore the felt sense, which is a vague, subtle, and unclear experience that is found by bringing a particular quality of attention to a particular zone of bodily experience. Grounded aware presence and friendly attending are the inner skills that allow us to access this zone.

#4 The felt sense is similar to the Magic Eye picture. You stare at something in a special way, and a form begins to emerge. It may not be a kangaroo or a pretzel, but it will have specific qualities of shape, form, or texture that can be noticed and felt.
