Abstract
This analysis of family planning investigates the links between embodied experiences, sociocultural forms, and ethnophysiological concerns. It focuses on the rural Jamaican concept of flow, which appears in ethnophysiological ideas and kinship beliefs and has ramifications for contraceptive practice. The experience of flow both on the somatic level and in social interaction lends structure to the local models concerning general health, reproductive health and procreation, and social reproduction. Cross‐culturally, the flow‐related experiences that women have of and through their bodies form the basis for much traditional health knowledge.
