I'm inclined to think it's both. The totality of consiousness is the universe experiencing itself, but individual consciousness arises as an emergent property of the complex fractal structures produced by the 'true' laws of physics.

It's a bodily function because our bodies are a function of the universe, to which all consciousness belongs and returns.
