Embodied Mind

The embodied mind concept suggests that our thinking, perception, and emotions are deeply connected to our physical body and sensory experiences. Rather than seeing the mind as separate from the body, it emphasizes that our body influences how we understand and interact with the world. For example, gestures, posture, and bodily sensations all shape our thoughts and feelings. This perspective highlights that cognition is rooted in our bodily experiences, meaning our mental processes are interconnected with physical states, guiding how we perceive, learn, and make decisions.
