Sunflowers, sardines and responsive combodying: three perspectives on embodiment

This paper explores the topic of “embodiment” from the author’s explication of Eugene Gendlin’s philosophy, a philosophy which flows through the practice of Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy. A little of Buddhist thought is also incorporated. From these explorations, the term combodying is coined to express the processing-generating of bodily living “together with” other beings. Combodying is processing-generating-living newly at every moment, prior to our reflexive awareness. Aspects of combodying are mostly implicit in a sense that they occur before we bring our awareness to them. Reflexive awareness enables new explications about aspects of combodying. These explications are not mere “explanations” of combodying in a sense that aspects of combodying respond to our explications.
