Body knows before Brain

[Joelle Lyons Everett]

Andrew--

Another resource is the book "Blink," by Malcom Gladwell, which is filled 
with many examples of "body knows before brain," reports of lots of research 
confirming that concept, and some interesting examples of training to help people 
use this facility more deliberately in particular circumstances.

Reading it, I felt affirmed in my belief that there are definitely parts of 
me that process information more quickly than my cognitive brain.

One exercise that I have experienced is to pair people with a partner.   Each 
in turn either holds an object belonging to their partner, or simply focuses 
their attention on the partner.   After a period of silent attention, they 
report to the partner any images that arose in their consciousness.   It is 
uncanny what comes up!
