ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the ways in which working with Qi (energy) and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory is challenging and informing the author's academic praxis, through recognition of his own and other bodies and feelings as integral to processes of learning, teaching, research and writing. It then interweaves facilitation of an embodied exercise through its writing, in an attempt to foreground thinking and knowing as involving bodies as well as minds. There are three aspects of an embodied coming to know that pose distinct questions to the author's academic praxis. First is precisely learning at and through the personal. Second, the use of touch in shiatsu is about relational energy connections with other bodies, and paying attention to others physicalities. Third, as a geographer, the author is conscious that academic spaces in which he discuss emotions, affect and energetic concepts pay little heed, beyond theory, to their settings or what their bodies do there.
