After a lot of reflection I think I'm in a place now where I disagree with this cause just taking over the body with mind control can lead to schisms and narcissism and denial of self
I do agree bringing awareness is verrryyy helpful and healthy. the key is to keep being aware of what comes up for you and accept it and embrace it and get to know it and empathize with other postures/bodies to see how exactly your body _could_ feel differently and as you realize more and more what your body is really feeling, it'll naturally heal on its own. no need to step it and change things consciously, which never really does anything anyways cause your subconscious takes over as soon as your attention shifts away
the key thing to take away here is it's impossible to fully realize how your body actually feels without some psychological insights into yourself as well, to move some stuff from your subconscious to your conscious
like for example one can't fully realize how much anger their jaw is holding unless they also realize how much they feel angry about their life cause of something they haven't realized and have repressed
for anyone interested in reading more check out alexander lowen's books on amazon. fascinating, fascinating guy with lots of veryyyyy interesting things to say. any of his books will suffice really, i've read most of them
