The bodily dimension

Why do we sometimes know what we want but are unable to implement it?

The bodily dimension allows the system to embody, manifest and make visible what it experiences.

The body is the place where experience becomes concrete.

It constantly receives information from the environment, emotions, thoughts, and the history of the system.

The bodily dimension allows, in particular:

• to act

• to move

• to feel

• to adapt

• to recover

• to embody the experience

It primarily answers the question:

"How does this take shape in reality?"

The front ↔ rear axis

The bodily dimension is organized around a balance between two complementary poles.

Before

The front pole is associated with:

• the action

• the commitment

• the encounter with the world

• the movement towards the future

• what is emerging

It allows the system to move forward and interact with its environment.

Back

The rear pole is associated with:

• support

• the support

• protection

• accumulated experience

• what has already been experienced

It allows the system to build upon what already exists.

When these two poles cooperate, the past becomes a support allowing us to move towards the future.

The demonstration phase

The bodily dimension is particularly involved in the manifestation phase.

What was perceived as possible and then emotionally invested in can now take shape.

The project becomes action.

Intention becomes experience.

The signal becomes observable.

The body thus constitutes the space where the system materializes what it carries internally.

Possible imbalances

Like any dimension, the physical can lose its balance.

Body excess

The system acts before it has been able to fully integrate the information.

We sometimes observe:

• hustle

• hyperactivity

• difficulty slowing down

• quick transition to action

• excessive mobilization

The signal is expressed, but not always in a sufficiently elaborate manner.

Body deficit

The system is struggling to engage in action.

We observe more frequently:

• inertia

• persistent fatigue

• difficulty in implementing

• lack of momentum

• feeling of being stuck

The signal then remains difficult to manifest in reality.

One dimension among others

The body does not function independently of other dimensions.

It often expresses what has been perceived cognitively and invested emotionally.

Observing the bodily dimension allows us to better understand how the system adapts, protects itself, and manifests what it is experiencing.

It constitutes the meeting point between inner experience and the concrete world.

The body makes visible what the system is ready to embody.
