The body-based psychotherapy called the Moving Cycle is based on the acknowledgment that we are all and only bodies. The phrase "all and only" body refers to what we usually think of as body, our physical self, is the template or structural blueprint for all our experience. The dictionary defines body as the main or central part of anything. Nothing else would be possible without it, for it is our container, our home The way it functions - its form and structure-is echoed throughout our entire being Thus our thoughts are digested as well as our food, our depressions slow metabolic fluids as well as emotions.
Our physical body systems -digestive, respiratory, endocrine, etc - operate interdependently with each other to sustain life. This interdependence of forms can also be seen across other aspects of our body as well. Our emotions influence and are influenced by our thoughts. Our adrenal glands affect our mindfulness. The idea that we are a connected web of matter, energy, and space has been the emergent finding of western physics, and the age old call of many eastern philosophies. This can be called the web body.
