Abstract:

While we rely a lot on our external senses, we tend to forget the body as a sense organ and how it conveys information to the brain that makes emotions and provides us with intuitive insight. In this talk we will walk through the brain, body connection and how to tune into your own selves to become better at intuitive decision making and trusting your gut feelings.
