摘要

Living inquiry moves inward in this chapter, into the daily practices through which theory, embodiment, and complexity are metabolised. Through swimming, breath, movement, and sensory recalibration, I explore how dynamic homeostasis becomes not just a concept, but a lived, felt orientation to the world. These somatic practices are relational methods of inquiry; ways of recalibrating attention, sensing difference, and inhabiting complexity at multiple scales. Drawing on traditions such as the Alexander Technique, craniosacral work, and meditation, I trace how proprioception, interoception, and breath become epistemic tools, linking cellular adjustment to ecological awareness. Unnamed at the time, meditation quietly practiced what we now call systems thinking—attuning body and mind to emergence, interconnection, and care through sustained sensory awareness. In this chapter, I offer not a manual, but an experiential field where body, environment, and meaning co-arise, revealing how creative, transdisciplinary research is sustained from within a living, sensing body.
