autonomic nervous system

Wow. I just read a Teisho by Nishijima Roshi mentioning the autonomic nervous system.
http://www.dogensangha.org/pain.htm

I'm reading this document about it:

[size=85:z6oilzbt]
To save all sentient beings, though beings are numberless.
To penetrate reality, though reality is boundless.
To transform all delusion, though delusions are immeasurable.
To attain the enlightened way, a way non-attainable.

Yes, I like Roshi's description of Zazen, as Yoga for the spine. I really focused primarily on the mental side of "meditation" before hearing his take on things. Its much more balanced to realize and practice with our bodies just as much as we do our minds. In the end, there is no gap between the two.
