This essay expands and broadens a 2003 article on kinesthetic memory. It does so by
critically examining currently favored taxonomies of memory as put forward by scientists,
philosophers, and neuroscientists, and, in turn, by presenting a phenomenological
perspective on body memory based on investigations by a Jungian analyst/phenomenological
philosopher. The perspective brings to light highly complex and subtle dimensions of body
memory, thus challenging us to enrich our understanding of body memory by turning
studious attention to experience and actively investigating living experiences of body
memory.
