Your Interwoven Self
For
a few moments just feel the body’s warmth and strength, its ability to
hold itself upright. The vitality and aliveness that you experience in
your body require various chemical and mineral substances, a continuous
supply of oxygen, the energy of the sun, and the cohesion and
conductivity of water. The Buddha instructs us to reflect on the body as
composed of the elements of earth, air, fire, and water, so that we
will see how this life is interwoven with universal processes.
