How Your Body Thinks

The bowling ball leaves your hand and careens down the alley hopefully going right for the sweet spot strike zone. As the ball needs a little more left side drift, your body begins to gyrate to the left in what looks like a frenzied Cajun dance ritual.

You are in the throws of embedded cognition. Embedded cognition is a term for how the brain uses the body as a device for mental expression. In this case, physically acting out the intense desire to hit the ten pin.

Embedded cognition is the subject of much research in universities and other think tanks. How does the body act out our thoughts?

One research study asked subjects to think of a past event and then a future one. While thinking of the past their body began to lean backward. Thoughts of the future made the person lean forward.

Embedded cognition also studies how the body senses influence our thoughts.

In a study at Yale, forty participants were asked to rate the qualities of a fictitious person being described to them. Prior to hearing the description, half of the participants were asked to hold a hot cup of coffee, while the other half were asked to hold a cup of iced coffee.

The hot coffee cup holders were far more likely to rate the fictitious person as more warm and friendly than the iced coffee cup holders.

The study of embedded cognition reveals how the brain uses whatever tools it has available to carry out thought. Kind of like the way we used our fingers as a calculator when doing math problems. Since the smarter folks invented real calculators, we don’t have to do that anymore.

I wonder if those guys counted on their fingers before they invented it?

Another study had half the participants in the room think of a time in the past when they were snubbed socially by others or treated poorly. The second half in the room thought of a time when they were embraced, praised and accepted by others.

When asked to guess the temperature in the room, the snubbed group rated it on average five degrees cooler than the warm and fuzzy group.

A study published in the journal Psychological Science, asked students to estimate the weight of a certain textbook. One part of the group was told the book was an important part of the course curriculum and the other group was told the book was just background study.

The group who thought the book was more important, judged the weight of the book to be heavier than the estimates of those who thought the book was less important.

These experiments are all examples of the mind/body connection and the interactions between them for all aspects of thought and evaluation of information.

Is there any REALITY shared by everyone? Or is it a just a set of variables peculiar to each individual shaped by everything you experience?

I hope we next meet on a cold day when we are both holding a steaming cup of hot coffee.

If your reality could use some metaphor changes or tweaks, you know who to call.

Abandonment: A Story

Have you ever read something that explains a concept so well it sums up all the intellectual theory, personal awareness and even leap frogs therapy hours?

The other day I was reading an excerpt I had saved written by Anais Nin from a book called the Winter of Artifice.

In a few paragraphs she describes the origins, feelings and behavior changes of a deeply embedded emotional abandonment complex. Here it is.

“He did not know that the tragedy, which had marked the first years of her life, still colored it today.  He did not know that the feeling of being abandoned was still as strong in her, despite the fact that she knew it was not she who had been abandoned, but her mother; that he had not really abandoned her, but simply tried to save his own life.  He did not know that this feeling was still so strong in her that anything which resembled abandon created a violent inner storm in her: a door closed on her too brusquely, a letter unanswered, a friend going away on a trip, the maid leaving to get married, the least mark of absent mindedness, two people talking and forgetting to include her or someone sending greetings to someone and forgetting her.

The smallest incident could arouse an anguish as great as that caused by death and could reawaken the pain of separation as keenly as she had experienced it the day her father had gone away.

In an effort to combat this anguish, she had crowded her world richly with friends, love and creations.  However, beyond the moment of conquest, there was again a desert.  The joys given to her by friendships, loves or a book just written were endangered by the fear of loss.  Just as some people are perpetually aware of death, she was perpetually aware of the pain of separation and the inevitability of it.

Beyond this, she also treated the world as if it were an ailing, abandoned child.  She never abandoned anyone; she spent her life healing others of this fear wherever she saw it shadowed, pitying the whole world and giving it the illusion of faithfulness, durability, solidity.  She was incapable of scolding of pushing away, of cutting ties, of breaking relationships, of interrupting a correspondence.”

That’s all I had of the excerpt. But it’s enough to tell the story.

How do your emotions shape the actions in your life?

Health Tip: Deep Knee Bends Make Deep Thinkers

This is an exercise from the book Super Brain Yoga. It apparently clears the brain cobwebs, but can do much more. Users report improvements in autism and various other attention deficit and behavior disorders. It works with ear acupuncture points and brain balancing.

Do it for three to five minutes a day for best results. Start with one minute to get used to the exercise demand.

1. Have your feet pointing straight ahead spread apart shoulder width

2. Grab your right earlobe with the thumb and finger of your left hand.

3. Cross over your left arm and grab your left earlobe with the thumb and finger of your right hand.

4. Now do a deep knee squat, while breathing IN.

5. Return to standing position, while breathing OUT.

6. Stand in front of a wall if you don’t trust your balance.

Here is a five-minute video clip on the technique from a TV news program.
