Soon Huemac found out [that] his daughter was sick. He then asked the women who were taking care of her ‘What did she do? [. . .] How did this heat enter my daughter?’ And the women who took care of her answered, ‘It’s the Tohuenyo, he who’s selling chili: he has put fire in her, he’s made her restless. That’s how it began, that’s how it is that she fell sick’. -Codice Matritense Body perceptions are embedded both in gender and culture. Mesoamerican sources are particularly revealing of that relationship. Concepts like equilibrium and fluidity are fundamental to grasp perception-constructions of bodies in ancient Mexico. A review of primary sources for the history of ancient Mexico manifests a conception of corporality that could be denominated ‘embodied thought’. Equilibrium, fluidity and gender define the way the body is conceptualized
