In this short solo episode, Kevin explores a powerful idea from Arnold Mindell called the “dreaming body” — the understanding that our nighttime dreams and our physical symptoms may be part of the same intelligent conversation.

What if pain isn’t random? What if it’s guidance?

Through the story of a persistent knee issue that dissolved after a surprising dream about an underground roller coaster, this episode traces the deeper message underneath the symptom — a call toward surrender, slowing down, and reconnecting with the wisdom of the ground. Not more striving. Not more transcendence. But more balance. More yin. More emptiness.

Rather than fighting discomfort or trying to engineer it away, this conversation invites a different posture: listening. Honoring the body as an ally. Seeing symptoms not as problems to eliminate, but as messages pointing toward greater wholeness.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a pattern — physically or emotionally — this mini episode offers a gentle but radical reframe. Your body may not be breaking down.

It may be trying to bring you home.
