It don’t mean a thing UNLESS you feel it for yourself

How many times have you been taught things by being told them? You get told this model and that theory, this paper and that fact and you have to store it in your memory bank and ‘learn’ it off by heart. 

I am interested in a way of learning that is body-centred. This means that if you sense something to be true in YOUR BODY then you KNOW something about it - you have information about it and you have a sensory awareness of it.

For example have you ever walked into a room or a place and felt strange? You didn’t know why but it didn’t quite feel right? This is your body giving a reading of the environment and communicating to you via SENSATION which is your Body’s Intelligence.

Your body is communicating to you all the time. It does a great job of this because your body’s JOB is to keep you ALIVE. How big a job is that?

So what your body experiencing and therefore communicating to you is very important and I suggest - an instant way of accessing some serious intelligence about any situation.

How do I teach and why do I call it Body Intelligence?
I teach using the communication of the body, so I create a learning context and then invite participants to ‘sense your body’ and notice what arises. From this reading of sensation you then have a KNOWING of what you perceive in relation to the learning context, or situation.

This KNOWING is what Malcolm Gladwell calls BLINK (The power of thinking without thinking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink:_The_Power_of_Thinking_Without_Thinking )

You can save an infinite amount of TIME and MONEY by working in this way. Why? Because your body’s intelligence is:

  • Always available
  • Never takes the day off
  • Tells the absolute truth
  • On your side


TESTIMONIAL:
“I found it incredible that through such simple exercises we were able to know the essence of each team member”
