Examples of the Body Positively Affecting the Mind
The posts on this blog are based on my personal experience and are not medical advice.
If you workout then you have probably experienced happiness and joy after working out. Maybe you just think that these are endorphins. Chemicals in your brain temporarily making you happy. Okay. Let me provide a more convincing example.
Massage: If you have worked with an experienced massage therapist then you know that her focus on one tight muscle can change your thought patterns.
Yoga: If you practice yoga then you know that you feel very different at the beginning of yoga than you do at the end. If you are experienced, then you know that certain poses can provoke certain emotions!
We store emotions in different parts of our bodies. And as we take our bodies to the next level our psychological health also benefits.
Can you think of any more examples of primarily physical practices that positively affect the or emotions? Do you think that neurofeeedback works on the mind or body?
