The idea that we are a body exists with us all our lives. It is so basic to us that we cease to realize its significance. We perceive ourselves as a body, but we are so rarely aware of what is happening to it every second. We begin to think about the body most often
in moments of collision with a specific bodily experience, for example: when we are hot
or cold, painful or pleasant.
In our daily life, we encounter a lot of bodily sensations,
but are we aware of them all? It seems that only a small part of the vast array of bodily impressions remains. I'm walking down the street, a warm summer breeze blows over my face, besides my face, it blows over my whole body, but I don't seem to feel it. Why is this happening? We lose some of the sensations due to the fact that we are not aware of them, because we rarely pay attention to them.
I think that most of the receptors and channels of perception of information about the world are focused on the head and on the face. It is very easy for us to abstract from the body and immerse
ourselves in our thoughts.
