Embodied Mind Hub is the place where mind-body-science meet. All we are missing are the tools to access our thinking, feelings and movement.

We believe that each and every one of us possesses the ability to understand and hold the mind body centered.

What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you read the word SURVIVAL?

Is it primal instincts and survival mechanisms? Is it the warmth of a safe shelter? Is it food, water, oxygen? Or is it a professional achievement?

Whatever is this, that comes first, most of the time it goes down to our physical body and the elements that keep it/us safe and functional.

Having a body is, probably, the most concrete way to remind ourselves that we have NEEDS, that we are not machines or living off air spirits.

Learning to RESPOND to one’s body is an essential first step to developing a functional relationship with one’s self.

If you are someone in search of who you are, what your talents are and in need of a sense of purpose and direction, think, have you learnt to listen to your bodily needs?

Are you attuned and responsive to those needs?

Have you noticed how much your emotional and social world is affecting your bodily states?

We form attitudes based on seemingly factual views of the world and our values and emotional reactions to these views.

So.. Let’s STOP scrolling for a moment, and think:

What is your attitude towards YOUR body? What do you know about it, about how it functions, and how it survives? Is what you think created by how the WORLD understands the body? How do you feel about these VIEWS? Do you agree with them? And finally, how do you feel about the “needs” that come from your body?

We often get preoccupied by society’s views of “a body”, what is considered a fit body, a healthy body, a slim body, a fat body or an ideal body.

Is the purpose of having a body, really, to be labeled and defined? Or, is it a physical presentation of ourselves that helps us SURVIVE?

Every human on the planet grows and develops within 7 well defined areas.

These areas are defined as The 7 Levels of Consciousness Model and its area focuses on a particular need that is common to everyone. The level of growth and development of an individual; depends on their ability to satisfy these needs.

The Maslow Hierarchy of Needs (1943) initially stated that individuals must satisfy lower level deficit needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs.
However, he later clarified that satisfaction of a need is not an “all-or-none” phenomenon, admitting that his earlier statements may have given “the false impression that a need must be 100% satisfied before the next need emerges”

At different times you may find that you focus more on some levels and less on others, in response to changing life conditions.

Here at the Embodied Mind Hub we have been looking back at our last year of experiences and we are aspiring to create this space for you to explore what we need today and how we can meet our needs in order to grow healthier and happier.

Stay tuned for our upcoming first workshop dates.

Survival ~ Safety ~ Security are all needs hardwired into our brains, when they are not satisfied they dominate our conscious and subconscious thinking.

It’s humane to become anxious and fearful if we think our survival, safety or security needs are not being met in the present and may not be met in the future.

Have you ever thought that people get angry when their needs are not met? Whenever you are in front of someone who is angry, frustrated or impatient, recognise that their upset is a sign of an unmet need. They may not be aware of their unmet need, so asking “ what need you have at the moment that is not being met? “ may help to diffuse the situation or at least bring clarity to what the upset is about.

Values are important and can be positive or fear-based. (limiting)
Positive values come from a place of caring for self or caring for others, whereas potentially limiting values come from the ego’s fears about not being able to get its survival, safety or security needs met.

In other words, potentially limiting values are self-serving. They make my needs a priority over your needs!!!

There is nothing wrong with caring for your own needs; it is only when you put your needs ahead of other people’s needs that your values become potentially limiting.

Our values are a reflection of our needs: Whatever we need - whatever is important to us - is what we value.

Need can be a real or imagined lack of something that is essential for maintaining the body’s physiological (biological) stability or the ego’s emotional stability.

You know, you have an unmet ego need whenever you experience anxiety, anger, frustration, impatience or any other form of emotional instability.

Behind every form of emotional instability you will always find fear. The emotion of fear and it’s derivatives are signs that you either have a belief that something is lacking, or a belief that something you have that is important to the satisfaction of your needs may be taken away.

Have your values been challenged during the pandemic? Or another thought can be what were your needs during this period?

What were the tools you had to meet these needs....

Sometimes all we need is to practice self-awareness in a safe, confidential space.

A couple of strangers to share your ideas with, a mindful movement practice and an interesting topic to discuss.

Our clients have found that by discussing topics such as self-identity within a non judgmental space, allowed them to discover their assumptions, their underlying beliefs and values about how their identity is being inherited and developed throughout their lives.

Diving deep into our internal world and observing how past and current experiences shape who we are at the moment, via group discussion and mindful movement, can facilitate self-compassion and self-growth.

If you are interested in experiencing the Embodied Mind Hub practice, stay tuned as our next set of webinars will be announced soon!

When we think of “awareness” we mainly think of our basic conscious experience of the world such as being aware of a car passing by, or of a pressing thought about meeting a deadline.

However, there is another type of “awareness” which is our innate ability to observe our conscious experiences from a “neutral” position without becoming involved in it or evaluate it in any way.

This would look like noticing the same distant sound without wondering where it comes from, whether it's an annoying sound or a calming one. Resting in awareness would mean letting the sound come into your space of consciousness and go. Similarly, you could acknowledge a thought without judging it or yourself for having it, or even getting involved with it further.

Developing this innate ability of ours is the primary goal of Embodied Mind Hub’s workshops, and the reason is the profound benefits of this practice to our wellbeing.

In 2020 we had to change our habits, our daily routines and we were asked to isolate ourselves and keep away from our loved ones. But, most importantly, we have adjusted our daily lives so we maintain our mental and physical well-being.

In one way or another, and some of us more easily than others, we have all adapted to a new temporary order of things.

Managing to flexibly adapt to new circumstances is great proof that the way the brain constructs experiences is not set in stone and can reform itself in order to become efficient in a new environment.

Read more on how the brain can adapt to change in our latest Festive Blog Post “How can we change the brain?” (follow this link: https://info-embodiedmindhub.medium.com/how-can-we-change-our-brain-1fbdedf5c415?sk=abf4f7da385bf27f10996ed2498a09bb).

wishes for the New Year to bring everyone fruitful experiences, loving moments and opportunities to become more open to change and embracing uncertainty.
