Top 1200 Body Awareness Quotes & Sayings - Page 12

Using the combined, integrated force of the mind and body is more efficient than using one without the other.

It returns to its natural non-state of Presence.

A woman's body never really belongs to herself. As an infant, my body was my mother's, a detachable extension of her own, a digestive passage clamped and unclamped from her body.

Fasting is an ascetic soul which takes the body with it as its partner in asceticism.

Cinema doesn't connect with the body as artists have in two thousand years of painting, using the nude as the central figure which the ideas seem to circulate around.

Cinema basically examines a personality first and the body afterward.

Meditation is the art of awareness. And once you are aware, out of your awareness your actions will arise - not out of conscience. Conscience is cultivated by others, by the vested interests, by the establishment. Consciousness is yours. It is individual, it is not collective. Conscience is part of the mob psychology. Consciousness gives you dignity because it gives you individuality. It gives you rebellion, it makes you capable of saying yes or no of your own accord. There is no foreign agency manipulating you in the name of religion, morality, etcetera.

When my body feels good, I feel more energized and alive, and that's sexy. I'm taking care of this body God gave me.
