Body Awareness + Healing: What are your experiences with it?

[lmfao]

I've started reading "Zen Body-Being" by Peter Ralston and am taking body awareness seriously. The first exercise given in the book involves differentiating between the command/will to move and movement itself. It's deep and difficult stuff. 

My motivation for this is health based. I can feel my weak, nauseated, chronically fatigued body. I want to heal it. So I'm considering multiple angles. The tension in my muscles, diet, mental ailments, etc. If this healing is possible I have the gut feeling that it is a large journey and struggle with plenty of demons. 

I have poor posture in general. I've found some posture exercises on the internet to do. I'm just wondering if its possible to restructure the entire way I operate my body. Lots of research needed here. Maybe this is a yoga thing I need to do.

In trying to address one problem you come across every other problem. Like a tangled up ball of yarn. Slowly unweaving it. 


Does anyone here feel like they've reconnected with their body to a very large degree of awareness? Did it lead to any sort of healing? Was there a cheat code for you or not really? 

I've never found such cheat codes, besides staying with a thing for as long as I can or for as long as needed.
