Bodily intelligence

Bodily intelligence is the capacity to think with the body and learn from the body. A person knows not only with the mind but with the body too; learning a movement or reading the atmosphere of a place is the working of this intelligence. Somatic approaches see the body not as separate from or subordinate to the intellect, but as a form of knowing in its own right. Bodily intelligence is a grasp that, alongside verbal thought, often works faster than it. A person who can think with the body reaches a wider layer of experience.
