Empirical science is always around the corner. Researchers have looked at how the brain reorganizes itself and what new complexities remain after time. Now you know why you never forget how to ride a bike.
Movement specialists know that movement patterns become embodied. That’s why some skills become so engrained we can hardly remember not knowing how to, say, drive a car while talking, chewing gum and fixing your hair in the mirror. (kids – don’t try this at home!)
Somatic Psychotherapists and yogis use this feature of the brain (is there more?) to work through and with emotions, psychology, and spiritual development through the body.
From an integral point of view, I am also interested in where this research will take us into understanding the link between who I am (values, beliefs and worldviews) and how I move (in this case, with motor patterns).
