Una mente con mucho cuerpo

Did you know that noticing butterflies in your stomach, having a lump in your throat or feeling like your head is going to explode are not just clichés? These are real sensations that are triggered in different parts of our body every time we experience an emotion, be it anger, sadness or joy, and they are as real as the pain of pancreatitis. According to Dr. Rosa Molina, all our experiences, emotions and feelings occur first of all in the body, and psychic suffering is often only released through physical pain, hence there are disorders such as anorexia or self-injury. Likewise, the body can be the vehicle through which to positively influence our mind through physical activity and sports, the practice of mindfulness and even a hug or a caress at the right time.
