THE FIVE FUNDAMENTAL ACTIONS

Another dimension of our bodily dialogue between the inner world and the outer one occurs through a set of fundamental actions. These actions are basic to all creatures with central nervous systems and were first articulated as a system by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen in her landmark book Sensing, Feeling, and Action: The Experiential Anatomy of Body-Mind Centering®. They form the building blocks of all movement. I call them the “five fundamental actions”: yield, push, reach, grasp, and pull.8 Becoming familiar and in tune with these actions can help expand and clarify our somatic vocabulary, making the expression of our sensations in Embodiment Practice all the more articulate and meaningful.
