Body
We live in a technological era. Most of us are mentally over-stimulated through an overload of information, perhaps a job which requires continuous high levels of mental concentration. This may cause us to start living in our heads and forget our bodies’ existence. Instead of feeling through our bodies, we intellectualise experiences with our minds. It is mind-over-matter for most of us as we ignore our bodies’ signals and push on with the power of our minds, eventually leading to fatigue and bodily ailments.
