Abstract:
Although it is the lived body that performs caring actions, we regularly neglect the subjectivity of our bodies. The aim of this paper was to explore the relation between the lived body and the world, emotions as a mediator between body and mind, and the embodiment of group dialogue. 'Embodiment of group' includes listening to the inner voice, listening from the context, and using the mind as a mirror in order to promote self-directed learning. Achieving understanding the subjectivity of the body may significantly improve the quality of nursing care and clinical teaching.
