He also seems to point out that conceptual self-awareness, the source of what I call transcendent ethics, is a useful tool but can actually be very harmful for our bodies: <a href="http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/body-sense/200908/your-body-knows-best"><strong>Your body knows best</strong> - Healing by feeling</a> As explained in prior posts to this blog, body sense, or embodied self awareness, is the ability to pay attention to ourselves, to feel our sensations, emotions, and movements. Body sense, or embodied self-awareness, occurs in the "present moment" while its counterpart, conceptual self-awareness, is abstract and distant from the present moment. Conceptual self-awareness involves judgments and evaluations about ourselves that may be useful in social situations but they can lead us to make choices that are not good for our bodies: working to hard, trying to please others, eating too much, or indulging in addictions. We assume we are feeling our bodies during these activities. It seems to feel good to eat that extra portion or the high calorie dessert or get the buzz from another alcoholic beverage. Actually, we are only feeling what we expect to feel, what our conceptual self-awareness is allowing us to feel and judging as OK to feel.
