Mind/Body

Gurdjieff taught, and left it for us to verify by our own experience, that we have 3 brains!

Head brain,
Feeling (emotional) brain
Moving/instinctive brain.

Lifting weights connects the thinking center (brain) to the moving center (brain) thus allowing a fuller perception and intelligence.
The connection is more powerful if the movements are done with conscious sensation of the body, consciously.

ref: In Search of the Miraculous, chapter 6, page 107 "The most complete knowledge of a given subject possible for us can only be obtained if we examine it simultaneously with our mind, feelings, and sensations."
