MessageI agree with what I think Barry is saying, which is that by practising the inner smile/fusion/kan and li, and forging a pathway of communication with the five shen, we are communicating with the body-mind.
The forms of unconsciousness and resistance that come up are what make up the disconnect, these are hopefully dissolved at various levels by cultivation.
Rooting takes place through connecting with our inner earth and creating a sense of boundary that allows us to feel our individual self. Earth energy practice is very important, but be careful not to focus externally for grounding; by being aware of our energetic consciousness through cultivation, we can find the earth energy within ourselves that communicates with the earth being below our physical feet, and bridge and embrace the areas of physicality within ourselves that resist communicating with our inner witness.
Of course, though westerners are very head centered so any physical qigong or movement practice will be helpful in getting us out of our heads and into our body.
