Sheena's portion of the work gives Working with Body Spirits a bodily grammar, letting sensation become a witness instead of a problem to override. The Tower Time source passage used here begins with “terrain of power, where allegiances could dissolve overnight,” so this page keeps its interpretation tied to the book rather than to a recycled category formula.
## The condition this practice addresses For Working with Body Spirits, the embodied reading begins by treating sensation as evidence rather than inconvenience, and this working with body spirits treatment keeps that evidence tied to a distinct source passage. The passage's wording around “those who could unravel them. Hildegard von Bingen, bound” gives this techniques page a concrete pressure point: the practitioner should pace the signal before turning it into a story. For a practitioner, the consequence is the body often reports the Castle's bargain first through fatigue, constriction, agitation, or a sudden refusal to keep performing. In a Tower moment, Working with Body Spirits therefore becomes useful only when the insight changes breath, posture, boundary, pacing, or the next conversation.

Verbatim passage for orientation
The working anchor for Working with Body Spirits is this unique excerpt from Sheena Witter and Taylor Ellwood's Tower Time:
terrain of power, where allegiances could dissolve overnight like Towers struck by lightning. Far from England, another seer leaned over a darkened bowl of water, watching as flickering reflections revealed shadows of wars yet to come. Nostradamus, drifting between waking and dreaming, scryed the tides of destruction: great fires, falling rulers, shattered empires. His words, wrapped in riddles, carried the weight of Tower Moments on a grand scale, offering patterns to those who could unravel them. Hildegard von Bingen, bound by the strictures of her era, saw divine fire split the heavens.
