We are designed to live in motion. Our movements are complex, and most are controlled by unconscious mechanisms and patterns.  Our bodies can develop ineffective and harmful movements and posture habits, and there would be no automatic faculty to take notice and correct them.

Most of us go through our days in an unconscious bodily manner, with our heads full of random thoughts. The body and mind are not at the same time and place, and their existence is separate.

A state of unconscious presence in the body may cause suffering. A lack of physical awareness may develop problems of posture and movement, followed by aches and pains.

Unconscious posture and movement, guided only by habits, is a basis of suffering.
