Cognition is
what?

The brain does not
issue commands - it
hosts “conversations”
“A brain without a body cannot think”

Brain is Servant Not
Master of the Body

Historical view of the Mind and Body as separate entities

I think ….
therefore I am

interconnected electrical and chemical communication systems
binding brain, heart, muscles, organ systems, senses and more

Musculosketal SystemOur bones, joints and ligaments are not just passive mechanical structures - they reduce the
cognitive load
We don’t walk like Lions because ….

States of the body modify states of the mind and vice versa
A Basic idea..
Your State .. Your thoughts,
feelings, emotions
DETERMINE what behaviours are possible
for you
Your movement, position, posture,
environment

Perception of Stress

The Brain is not the only cognitive
resource we have to solve problems
Radical idea..

ANS Balance
❖ High Effort❖ Fight of Flight❖ Adrenaline
❖ Low Effort❖ Relaxation❖ Acetylcholine
Sympathetic PathwaySignals flow from our brain to the
heart, adrenal glands, blood vessels etc speeding up these body systems. Shaped by our
perception
Parasympathetic PathwayOpposite effect to the Sympathetic
and acts to slow down or “cool down the heart and other organs
“Accelerator” “Brakes”

Hormonal System
Positive EmotionWell/Being
Success
Negative EmotionSubmission
Despair
Many hormones - “Molecules of Emotion” are produced including DHEA (Precursor to Testosterone and Oestrogen)
and the body’s main stress hormone Cortisol
DHEA Cortisol
Imbalance is linked withmany chronic diseases

Your State .. Your thoughts,
feelings, emotions
DETERMINE what behaviours are possible
for you
Better State - Better Behaviours - Better Results
If you want to lead someone - go “there” first

Finding a Flow State

Finding a Better State• Fuel - nutrition
• Move - it affects how we think
• Breathe - ignite the breath or relax
• Listen - we entrain to strong rhythm
• Risk - moving beyond our current experience
