This is why it’s intensely important to continually look at and improve ourselves. Knowing yourself is the first step to making a better life, not only for you, but your whole family! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Dr Dan Siegel, professor of psychiatry and pioneer in interpersonal neurobiology, talks about the little understood concept of 'mind', and how its existence depends on 'integration'. This is a term used to describe , or "linkage of differentiated parts" of the and that are revealed with self-awareness and attuned, empathic communication.

"Learning to be “present” in life, to be open to things as they are within us and within others, is the portal to integration that creates the inner and interpersonal conditions at the heart of kindness and compassion."

"—our is not merely brain activity but something more, something that is fully embodied, not just enskulled, and something that is also deeply relational".

"While teaching around the world, individuals from a range of wisdom traditions have approached me and shared how the outcomes of integration I had discussed with them—such as emotional balance, body regulation, insight, and morality—overlapped with what their culture had been teaching for thousands of years. People from the Inuit, Lakota, and Polynesian traditions, as well as from religions such as Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism were startled by this overlap of integrative findings and wisdom teachings—"

"Seeing the mind’s self as coming solely from the solo brain in the skull is likely only part of a bigger story of the mind: We have an internal identity as “me” and we have an interconnected mind as a “we.” Research reveals repeatedly that our relationships with others are not only a robust source of mental health and happiness but also a determinant of our medical wellness and longevity."

"If we consider the definition of one facet of the mind as a self-organising, embodied, and relational process that regulates and information flow in our lives, then we can see:
1) how integration would be the scientifically predicted process beneath optimal living, as linking differentiated parts of a system optimises self-organisation and creates harmonious functioning; and
2) how our minds and the self that emerges from them are created not only in our body and its brain but—equally important—in our relationships with other people and with the planet. This view might help us create more personal, interpersonal, and global well-being in our lives."

Martial arts practitioners have known this for centuries. This is harmonizing mind and body. It reduces risk of injury tremendously and improves gains as you focus on technique and proper ex*****on of the exercise. Not to mention the peace of mind, sharpness of focus, and clarity of thought.

Pro Tip: Meditate During Your Workouts Contrary to what lots of people think about meditating, you don't have to be sitting still with your eyes closed to slip into a meditative state. Many forms of movement can be meditative, and that can include your daily dose of exercise. Meditating…
