Estrangement from the world is to be expected when one is already estranged from one’s body. Adventurous activity, on the other hand, serves to unite the body and the world. Hence the fundamental flaw in dualistic approaches to the world … the groundlessness of Cartesian-style thought.

A body in motion is a body endowed with kinaesthesis. The word kinaesthesis comes from the Greek word kinein, meaning to move, and aisthesia, to perceive. Kinaesthesis is thus the sense that informs you of what your body is doing in space through the perception or sensation of movement in the joints, tendons, and muscles … Kinaesthesis is therefore an embodied sense of awareness, and perhaps most akin to having an adventurous experience.

the body in motion configures a particular experience of self and nature.

the body is the most fundamental means of communication and interaction with the world
