the transformation body

Though we remain who we are at our core, to exercise the transformation body we interweave, interwhilrl with our surrounds. We grieve with the grieving and laugh with the joyous. As the Christian Paul put it, we become "all things with all men."

The transformation body is one of empathy, moving with the feelings and the lifeforce of another, not of sympathy (feeling sorrow or pity).

Rather than confronting the world with one's rigid pre-determined shape (usually produced by longstanding habits of fear and anger) and demanding the world conform to oneself (which it never does or only gives the illusion of doing so), one maintains one's center of being and moves fluidly with what is.

The enjoyment body provides a strong base for the transformation body. Each strengthens the other as they unfold.
