| The biospiritual.org website opens by describing a journey which each person can make inside themselves. "A whole new world lies sleeping inside your body's knowing." There are hidden stories in ourselves and our children. The page closes with a short interactive exercise around questions that each viewer may ask privately and quietly inside themselves. |

| This page describes what the body knows, why it is important, and what the implications are for personal development and human evolution. It's about the mystery of how human consciousness includes far more than what we are aware of and can think in our minds. |

| The biospiritual website is being developed in 4 phases. Phase 1 teaches you how to develop the habit of noticing and nurturing important feelings. This phase is now complete on the site. Phase 2 will contain resources and further information for parents and children learning this habit. Phase 3 will develop the innate spirituality of the process of noticing and nurturing important feelilngs without direct reference to any particular spiritual or religious tradition. Phase 4 will describe how the basic process may be integrated into the Judaeo-Christian spiritual tradition. |

| This page begins to discuss the importance of what Eugene Gendlin calls, "Felt Sensing." Using stories and examples, the viewer is shown how felt senses are like living "links" etched within the human body. There is a description of how the body has a capacity to sense "the whole" of some experience, and not just analyze it into individual parts. Simple exercises are included to help the viewer gain some sense for this experience. Finally, the importance of learning how to do a simple "Check-In" exercise is described. |

| This page describes how to download and print various cards or regular text pages that may serve as guides for doing one's own check-in, companioning another person as they do their check-in, or for helping someone to be gentle and caring with spontaneous difficult feelings that may arise. Cards and texts for companioning children and teens are also available on this page. Suggestions for how and when to use these various cards are included, as well as beginning to discuss the importance of bringing "a caring presence" to one's own feelings--and encouraging others to do the same. |

| "Process-Skipping" is about all the clever ways we develop in order to remain out of touch with our difficult feelings. An exercise is provided to help the viewer recognize and uncover some of his or her own process-skipping ways. A process-skipping experience is described in detail, and the page ends with five questions that can help a person evaluate the psychological health of various spiritual and growth practices where process-skipping can easily slip in. |

| This page describes a marvelous inner resource, a teacher that we all carry inside our own bodies. The experience of "affection" is a great teacher because it speaks the language of your-body-in-connection. Interactive exercises are included to help viewers get in touch with, and then learn from their inner affection teachers. Our own bodies are the best teachers of how to be caring and open with difficult feelings. |
