                                                           It could make you feel vulnerable, unsure if you are doing it right, or

                                                           that has made us so disconnected from our bodies. It happens all
                                                           over our environments; it’s in our earliest years when we start to un-

                                                           are sometimes so micro-level that we don’t even know to identify
