Sensing, Feeling and Action
No other source speaks more directly to the connection between the mind and body. In the Foreword to Sensing, Feeling and Action, Susan Aposhyan has the following to say about Body Mind Centering (BMC). "BMC is a study, Its subject is movement. By watching the movement of the body, we can see the movement of the mind, The "mind" of a physical form is the moving quality of that form, its inherent intelligence down to a cellular level".
In the preface, Lisa Nelson and Nancy Stark Smith calls BMC "a voyage into the mind of the body, into the intelligence of every cell, every system, in constant interaction".
Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen speaks of the qualities of "any movement being a manifestation of how mind is expressing through the body at that moment". Taijiquan mirrors that sentiment in the statement that, "the mind, (yi) leads the energy (qi), and qi directs movement towards the desired end point".
The interaction of body systems in BMC matches directly with what is presented in Anatomy Trains, through the tensegral quality of the myofascial meridians. It also embraces the idea of the body being an information transmission entity as described in Molecules of Emotion.
