Have you ever wondered why your body seems to react with fear before your mind even realizes what is happening? In this video, I share a core teaching straight from my SmartBody SmartMind (SBSM) program that explores the deep connection between what is happening in our environment and how our nervous system might respond. I speak about a relatively unknown pioneer in intellectual fields of emotions, stress physiology research and somatics - Nina Bull (1880 - 1968). Her book from 1951 on The Attitude Theory of Emotion, was originally brought to my attention via my learnings with Peter Levine, founder of Somatic Experiencing (SE). If you have ever felt like getting your heart rate up or doing intense exercise instantly triggers fear or anxiety, this core concept might give you a huge lightbulb moment. Plus, I explain a CRUCIAL shift in how we might want to start approaching somatic work in relation to healing trauma (hint: it is not just about getting grounding and connected to the body!). The good news is this ‘new’ approach is what my students have been learning for a long time now and connects to the unique Feldenkraisian lessons that are exclusively in SBSM right now (another hint: this comes down to mastering our sensory-motor and motor-sensory awareness). Watch the video to uncover why imperceptible actions can lead to fear and drop a comment below to share your takeaways!
