INFP哲学家型-富有创造力的探索者，喜欢随性生活的人生(21)

An oft overlooked feature of Si is its role in the perception of internal bodily sensations—the body as felt and experienced from within. Si can be associated with the raw and basic sense of “being” that exists apart from thought or outward stimuli. Historically, Eastern philosophical and religious traditions have led the way in exploring this domain of human experience through practices such as yoga, Tai-Chi, or meditation. Because of INFPs’ openness to new experiences (Ne), as well as their desire to explore the mind-body connection and enhance their sense of well-being, many are drawn to these sorts of holistic practices (especially yoga).
一个经常被忽略掉的Si功能的作用是，对内在身体状态的感知。Si功能可以感受到身体上那份最原始的、最根本的生命“存在”的感受，不需要任何思考或者外界的刺激，就是身体本身的存在感。
历史上，东方哲学和宗教在探索“用身体本身来感知存在”的经验中上产生了很多的练习方法，比如瑜伽、太极、或者冥想。
由于INFP本身对新鲜体验的开放心态（Ne功能），以及他们对寻求身与心的连结来扩充他们对自我存在的感知的渴望，使得很多INFP会尝试这些练习方法，尤其是瑜伽。
Finally, what may be the most important benefit of Si for INFPs is its role in consolidating and recalling past experiences and life lessons. It can therefore keep INFPs from repeating past mistakes and help them clarify their future direction. Exploring evidence from the past can instill greater confidence in who they are and what they care about, aiding the consolidation and crystallization of their self-concept.
