"The outer body is carried by the inner body" Taita proverbThere is a wise saying in the Taita language  that goes “Ghwa ighu ghwadadukwa ni ghwa ndenyi” which in English means, the outer body is carried by the inner body. (Taita language is spoken by a people that live near the coast of Kenya in East Africa). The outer meaning of this saying is that contrary to what we may think, the outer body, the parts of the body we can see such as the legs, the hands, torso etc are actually made functional by the inner body parts that are invisible. The inner body parts can be put in two categories, the tangible and the intangible. The tangible parts such as the heart, the  stomach, the liver, kidneys, the brain can be viewed through the help of equipment such as Ultrasound, x-ray scanners, MRI, endoscopes and radiographs. The intangible parts cannot be seen even with aid of equipment. These are described with such terms as the mind, heart, gut feeling, soul, six sense, intuition. For a person to function harmoniously, these three levels of the body have to work in consonance.  The deeper levels of the body have more influence on the outer parts. For instance, the brain has more influence on the leg, but they are connected in such a way that were the leg to hurt, the whole body would feel it. The spirit, the  soul, the mind and the  heart have even more influence on the partially visible and the visible body.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/harmony-deconstructed-podcast/donations
