Mann Mathura dil Dwarka kaaya Kashi jaan Yeh das dwaare ka peenjra M ya mein jyot pichhaan"
"Know the mind to be Mathura, the heart, Dwarka and the body, Kashi This cage of ten doors contains the light within"
Paraphrase: The body-mind complex is the most sacred pilgrimage of all and is the true Mathura (birthplace of Lord Krishna), Dwarka (kingdom of Lord Krishna), and Kashi. Know this cage (the body) to be the true temple which contains the light of the soul.
-Sant Kabir
Wonder why Albert Einstein said that his primary process of perceiving was muscular and visual, and Thomas Edison, one of the most prolific inventors known to mankind, said that great ideas originate in the muscles?
It appears that these great minds believed that what we call the brain, although located in the head, is spread throughout the physical body.This body intelligence is what Carl G Jung was pointing towards when he said, "The hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain." The idea that the body talks, which is the topic for this article, is not a new one, and does not come to us from these relatively recent thinkers alone. It exists in poetry, in mythology, and in the form of ritual, which is but mythology enacted as drama or a series of actions. In recent times, the idea of listening to the body is closely connected to the insight into multiple intelligences, which was introduced by psychologist Howard Gardner in 1983. He, among other things, spoke about the spatial and kinaesthetic intelligence developed in athletes.
