Your inner body is not solid but spacious. It is not your physical form but the life that animates the physical form. It is the intelligence that created and sustains the body, simultaneously coordinating hundreds of different functions of such extraordinary complexity that the human mind can only understand a tiny fraction of it. When you become aware of it, what is really happening is that the intelligence is becoming aware of itself. It is the elusive ‘life’ that no scientist has ever found because the consciousness that is looking for it is it.
The ‘inner body’ isn’t really the body anymore but life energy, the bridge between form and formlessness.Make it a habit to feel the inner body as often as you can.
In Zen,such a glimpse is called satori. Satori is a moment of Presence,a brief stepping out of the voice in your head, the thought processes, and their reflection in the body as emotion. It is the arising of inner spaciousness where before there was the clutter of thought and the turmoil of emotion.
