MIND RESULTS DUE TO BODY PRACTICES?

MASTERS THESIS: CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION, FEBRUARY 2009By Alex and Beth Iglecia

Investigating the contributions of the body and mind during body-

based transformative practices to the process of non-physical human

development

Punchline(s)

Yoga works

Movement is more than movement

When you stretch your body, youstretch values, beliefs and worldviews

Mind openings go with body openings

body body

What does movement actually have to do with body-based transformative practices?

mind body mind mind

body mind? valuesbeliefs

worldviews

Does opening the body’s physical/energetic structures affect/go-with opening of structures of consciousness?

Are transformative openings the result of working with the body, with the mind, or both?

Does one’s belief system/worldview predict or affect the changes in consciousness realized from a body-based transformative practice?

Does “what comes up” during a body-based practice mentally and/or emotionally relate with the theorized qualities (i.e., anger, love) based on body regions, according to Eastern or Western thought?

Does fragmented body-based practice affect consciousness differently than whole-body body-based practice?

Are transformative openings the result of working with the body, with the mind, or both?

Yes, the study suggests:

Openings happen with body work alone

Openings increase with guidance

Results: Q2 : What is an Opening?

Interpretation What it MeansIndication: Level 1 - Strong Indication

Indication: Level 2 - Weak Indication

ClosingCultivated / realized lesser embracing/experience of values towards self/other

Deciding to withdraw in some form

No reactionAn absence of any noticable change or learning

They state they felt/experienced nothing

No movement, shift, or possibility of a shift is present

Opening

A movement or shift terms of values, structures of consciousness, major insight or realization about their life, forgiveness, compassion, love, etc

Major learning or realization. Insight; a new connection or new capacity of feeling, thinking or being

Does one’s belief system/worldview predict or affect the changes in consciousness realized from a body-based transformative practice?

The study suggests:

Previous knowledge and experience do not predict nor affect new transformation

In-the-moment guidance facilitates transformation

Does fragmented body-based practice affect consciousness differently than whole-body body-based practice?

The study does not provide a solid conclusion, but suggests revised thinking:

How can we truly isolate when it comes to the body or the body-mind? Simply because we focus our attention may not mean we necessarily fragment…

4

Results: Q4 : Fragmented vs Whole Body

Does “what comes up” during a body-based practice mentally and/or emotionally relate with the theorized qualities (i.e., anger, love) based on body regions, according to Eastern or Western thought?

The study suggests that either:

The theories do not clearly predict emotional content and experience…

The body-emotion relationship is more complex than the study was able to examine…

Original Question

What does movement actually have to do with body-based transformative practices?

Conclusion and Discussion

results due to typical mind-body practices are not solely the result of body work

transformation is unpredictable and does not depend on how much knowledge or previous experience you have

movement and body openings alone do produce openings in the mind

Who Can Benefit?

WHO ELSE?

Final TakeawayIf all your work is focused on the body, you will likely facilitate and support some growth in consciousness, i.e., you will become a better person for it.

To take conscious control of your life and set yourself up for greater personal growth in the direction of your choice as well as in unexpected and unpredictable ways, both body and mind practices should be integrated in the practice itself.
