Researchers have been finding proof of the validity of gut feelings. They call it the “Belly Brain” - a complex network of nerves that has it’s own intelligence. In yoga it’s generally referred to as our intuitive third chakra, but you say potato….

It does my heart good to see scientists studying and finding proof of the mind/body connection. So often it seems in science if they can’t poke at it, it doesn’t exist. While anyone who has done 30 minutes of yoga has experienced the connection first-hand.

Anyways, rant over, here are a couple of articles:

1. “There is a lot more to gut feelings than was previously believed”

2. “We are seeing that the gut is a very sensitive organ, so even if you are in another room, my gut can sense when you see a particularly evocative image and respond emotionally. Therefore, your state can actually influence my state.”
