Deep dives
Disconnect between mind and body in modern society
In modern society, there is a prevalent disconnect between the mind and the body. The constant emphasis on logic and reasoning over intuition and being in tune with the body has led to a society that is predominantly up in their heads. This disconnect has negative consequences, such as repressing emotions and feelings, which can manifest as pain, discomfort, illness, or dis-ease. It is important to acknowledge and address this disconnect in order to lead a more balanced and integrated life.
