    Fully compatible.

    A belief is an acceptance of a certain perspective; reason is the means in which the acceptance of that perspective is justified.

    Faith is belief without reason and justification.

    Would you still suggest your emotion- and body-focused approach to people who do not have have the (real-life) associacion of those who practice this approach?

    If it is attractive to them. If not, no. I don't believe in 'the right approach'. I don't think people fundamentally want the same things.

    The cells in my bone marrow would be unhappy as skin cells. or at the very least, I wouldn't want to judge them for being happy chugging away in there.
