Blood and bone and living cell
Build this holy temple well

Although Psycards are tools for exploring the psyche, our minds are intimately linked to our bodies, and hence our mental health is linked to our physical health.

The Body card is all about physicality. It's about strength and vitality. We feel through our bodies: pain, pleasure, reassurance, worry, warmth, chill, hunger, satisfaction, taste, touch and smell. The card asks us to listen to our own bodies, and tune in to what they tell us.

The Body card is also about health, wholeness and balance. Out of health comes strength, both physical and mental.

The body has many different associations for different people at different times, and we must each attune ourselves to our associations as we look at the card, in the context of the spread and the situation we find ourselves. Associations with our own bodies, with the bodies of other people, and the abstract notion of "the body" and "the physical" may be key to understanding the spread to hand.
