Embodied learning and compassionate mental mantras transform repetitive, unconscious patterns into self-acceptance and inner calm.
Traditional views of human cognition often describe mental faculties as computations performed by the brain in isolation from bodily experiences. The mind and body separation implies that the focus of learning is purely an intellectual activity. The field of embodied cognition proposes that bodies play a central role in our thinking and learning (Macrine, 2022). Cognition is not just an isolated mental activity but is closely linked to physicality. This approach considers the mind as something that goes beyond the brain.
