In this episode, Anna reflects on the importance of understanding the centrality of the body as a sensing, capable field of aliveness and a highly evolved, highly  intelligent field of meaning-making.  She explores the Western myth of the body-mind split and challenges the sense in which some approaches to healing are almost echoes, no matter how well-meaning, of that older mythic structure.  Is it time, she wonders, to drop the idea of a 'hyphenation' in bodymind and to move towards a much more entangled, dynamic sense of embodiment, the unconscious, and embodied knowing. Anna presents her reflections as an invitation to an ongoing conversation, perhaps overdue, in the healing community, about the need truly to value, appreciate and learn from the body as an intelligent community of intelligences, rather than to conceptualise it as predominantly being the lesser part of a hyphenated mind-body 'connection'.
