Abstract

‘Finding Heart in the Well of Being’ is written from the author’s daily experiences, thoughts and memories while living in New York City, the epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic during Spring 2020. Recognizing her body, and our bodies, as both the epicentre and well of resource of experience, she highlights the importance of affect-feeling-emotion moving through the body-minding processes. She reflects upon themes and metaphors of stop signs, sinking ships, everlasting love, dancing in the dark, life, death and unseeable paths ahead as expressions of what became meaningful in her consciousness. With these themes, she offers guidance for somatic movement explorations for readers to inquire into bodily awakening and to reflect upon and rearrange the themes and narratives in their own ways. This autoethnographic narrative includes artwork and photographs and invites readers to join the author from the epicentres and wells of their bodily beings, to dance with her in the epicentre and well of her bodily being, as we all live with and the beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
