In this meditation, Federico suggests that the body is a representation within consciousness. The world, the body, everything is experienced there, and it's important to see that we are not talking about these things as physical objects in the way we normally conceive them.
At the level of consciousness, what is experienced can shift, it can transform. This is where real change can happen, not at the level of things or objects, but at the level of how we are experiencing them. For instance, if there is pain or discomfort in the body, instead of seeing it as just physical suffering, we can recognize it as a form of communication from consciousness through the body. The body, in this sense, is not separate from consciousness but is an expression of it.
When we understand this, we begin to see that our identification with the body-mind-the “me” that feels heavy, contracted, or fearful-is simply a construct. It’s a way that consciousness has identified with the form, with the experience. But this identification can be undone. Just by being aware of the body, by noticing and acknowledging its experiences, and by welcoming whatever arises without resistance, we dissolve the tight hold of the body-mind construct.
In this way, we are no longer trapped in the cycle of thoughts, beliefs, and physical sensations that seem to define our reality. We realize that these are just experiences within consciousness, and consciousness itself is free. It is not bound by these experiences; it observes them, and in doing so, transforms them. This is the freedom that consciousness inherently possesses, the freedom to transform our experience from one of suffering and limitation to one of openness, lightness, and ease.
By simply being aware of our body and its sensations-without judgment, without needing to change them, and without identifying with them as "me"-we allow consciousness to reestablish its natural connection with the body. This brings healing and balance because the body, in its essence, is consciousness. It is only when we mistake the body for the limited, separate "me" that suffering arises.
