> How do you come into your body at 50 or 70? By doing any bodywork that is not based on power over the body. Because the body will not take any more power. It will just say, “If that’s the game, I’m not playing.” And you cannot lose weight. Love the body. Gradually you will come through to all that is buried in the body. But you have to love it in order to make a container that will release the pain.
