What does science say about the body's memory beyond the mind?
The article discusses the concept of "body memory" and explains that memories are not confined to the mind alone; they can also be stored in the body and lead to ongoing psychological and physical effects. It indicates that traumas and repressed memories may remain hidden in consciousness and later manifest in the form of physical symptoms such as high blood pressure and sleep disturbances, often linked to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The article reviews modern psychological theories, including the work of psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, who asserts that recovery from trauma requires "releasing" or "integrating" memories through techniques like yoga. These methods help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation by decreasing activity in the sympathetic nervous system, reconditioning the body's responses to stress, and achieving long-term emotional balance.
