The bMA teaches ways to bring the body into awareness for optimal balance between the mind and the body.
Cosmologists and envisioned the entire Universe, as hypothetically seen from an external viewpoint. This represents a cognitive process.
Neurologists have taken a photoMicroGraph of a brain neuron, representing the nervous system from a Somatic (Bodily) point of view.
The bodyMind Alliance is a way of integrating thiese two processes, the cognitive and neurological traditions, into a unified point of view.
The body has a mind of its own. In the Somatic disciplines such as Focusing and Somatic Experiencing, this view is taken as fact, citing large domains of study which documents how this is so.
The bodyMind includes, but contrasts with the mindBody, which implies the brain only (body of the mind). The bodyMind Alliance is based on the approach that consciousness is accessed and knowable through the body (mind of the body), as opposed to approaches relying on brain-based processes such as those which are purely linguistic, as seen in traditional talking therapies. --26Oct2011, 14mar2012
