How we make sense of the world• We have several classes of
sensation
• How we handle emotions and relate to others is shaped by implicit memory
• This memory is recorded in the cells and tissues. The person that you are is recorded in the living tissues of your body
• Developing somatic awareness develops the ability to take new actions
