Accompanying our bodies

Let's pay attention to our bodies. To the bodies that we are.

Stop to feel and observe yourself for a few seconds: 

Which part feels more present to you and which, in some way, less a part of you?

Let's keep a diary to accompany our bodies. Let's write down a couple of lines every day (or more if we want) about how certain parts of us are a constant companion, and how perhaps we perceive others as absent. Maybe we don't let them accompany us as much or we don't accompany them as much?

Let's write freely, let's also draw and try to pay attention to different parts of our bodies every day. Let's touch them, smell them, listen to them, observe them, we can also lick them and find out what parts of them taste like that we may never have tasted. 

Let's try to understand how they accompany each other, how they help and serve as mutual support. Let's pay attention to those that are always active, in use, do they enjoy their role? Do they need to rest? Let's identify those who don't seem to know what to do. Will they feel passive, bored, neglected?

Let's explore what other similarities and differences we find between them.

At the end of a week of paying attention, write a short message for the entirety of the body that we are. Choose a song to dedicate to the body, and let's dance!

^^Send an email to saladelecturalima@gmail.com with your chosen song and we'll add it to the playlist.
