Embodied cognition- the mind is not just the brain, consciousness runs all throughout the body (get out of your head)

Enteric Nervous System - there are more neurons in your gut than in your brain; the bacteria that are in your gut communicate directly with the brain all the time via the vagus nerve; this is a 2-way communication. Butterflies in your stomach are an example of the brain communicating with the gut or an intuitive feeling where the gut is sending signals to the brain. 

Awareness and the mind is not just in the brain, but it runs throughout the body- this concept is in chinese internal martial arts. 

When you train the body, you train the mind because the body is the mind.
