The mind-body connection is a magnificent wonder. The great power of each and how they influence one another is a gift we continue to unfold and explore our entire lives. We notice our thoughts, feel emotions in our body and process them through journaling, movement or talking.
This topic always brings me to the work of Bessel van der Kolk and his renowned book, The Body Keeps The Score. Whether you are a raving fan or new to his work, we’ll shed some light on his theory about how the power of thoughts and memories are so powerful, that if suppressed, they can become stuck in the body and become physical pain. This realization has enlightened and promoted healing in thousands of people.
After learning about our physical bodies as the great scorekeepers, the perfect next action is a Loving-Kindness Mediation. Learn the steps to promote positive emotions, improve emotional regulation, enhance self-compassion, foster social connection and induce positive emotions in your brain.
Prepare to be informed and reframe your own mind-body connection. It’s time to Hurry Up And Meditate.
