I've been divorced from my body in my 30s, for the most part - due to early childhood trauma. I was aware that I was off - first getting in touch with my emotions. Then, when I was at Claymont, the Gurdjieff Sacred Dance Instructor told us that our body remembers everything and that we need not take notes but recall what the body remembers, it was a eureka moment.
That and healing work with others allowed me to reclaim my body by sensing my buddy - my body. It has been a long strange trip.
Indeed body remembering and body knowing taught in elementary school could be a great key to releasing suffering and so much more - a great wisdom in knowing.
