The Embodied Mind

The Embodied Mind concept suggests that our thoughts and consciousness are not just in our brains, but are deeply connected to our bodies and the environment we interact with. It emphasizes that our physical experiences, emotions, and social interactions shape how we think and understand the world. For example, when we learn through movement or engage with objects, it influences our cognitive processes. This approach challenges the traditional view that separates mind and body, highlighting the importance of physical presence in shaping our mental experiences and understanding.
