i was thinking today how there are several eastern physical disciplines which have philosophical roots - i.e. yoga, tai chi and other martial arts, but there seems to be no western equivalents. granted some people see running or other sports as "meditative", but philosophy/spirituality doesn't seem to be an integral part of those activities - i.e. doesn't seem that is why they were created. i think this is key. i think westerners see the body and mind as separate and disconnected. perhaps this leads to problems.
