The subject's matter :self-consciousness and the body
The body may be the object we know the best. It is the only object from which we constantly receive a flow of information through sight and touch; and it is the only object we can experience from the inside, through our proprioceptive, vestibular, and visceral senses.

Ostension: Word Learning and the Embodied Mind
"Ostension is bodily movement that manifests our engagement with things, whether we wish it to or not. Gestures, glances, facial expressions: all betray our interest in something.

The latest findings in brain research inform its suggestions. In Meditating Selflessly, James Austin -- Zen practit…
