In our everyday notion of the body, we might say, “I feel my leg.” But there is no sensation called “leg.” Rather, what we feel are certain sensations, like pressure, heaviness, and lightness, and then we create an image or concept: “leg.” In meditation, we move from the concept of body to the awareness of the body as a changing energy field. On this level, the sense of the body as being something solid and substantial disappears.
