Is Body Independent from Awareness?

A man describes experiencing the body as pure awareness during yoga meditation but feeling confused during Feldenkrais practice when it seems the body exists independently from awareness. Rupert agrees this is how it appears but not how it is in reality, explaining that we filter reality through sense perception ‘contact lenses’ we’ve forgotten we’re wearing. He uses the analogy of anatomy books being useful maps without representing true reality – like roadmaps corresponding to but not being the territory. The man recognises that anatomy represents a ‘sight perspective’ of the body, while Rupert encourages participating fully in body modalities without being overly concerned with non-dual understanding in those contexts.
