>Phor me, cycling was a tense, fast, forward driving, repetitive motion, and it became a trigger activity causing tension and stress in my thoughts, emotions, hormones, and body. Psychologists call this ‘embodied cognition’, which is when the mind influences how the body feels and when the body posture triggers the mind. My lack of confidence in my life direction and manifesting abilities had attracted me to excessive forward-driving activities using ‘push’ muscles to literally push my way through life. To me, the quads symbolised and absorbed feelings about faith in where my life was going and my financial stability. The tension caused by these thoughts and emotions travelled straight into the muscles down the front of my legs and stayed there, tightening more over time. As Caroline Myss says, “Our physical well-being is clearly influenced by our psyche. As a medical intuitive, I have often observed the links between certain psychological stress patterns and certain illnesses related to specific areas of the body.”
