Before intellect, before knowing, before ideas, before theories, there were the senses.

Old, primitive brain senses that felt the world instinctively, based on pure subtle attention.
A great amount of information arises there, in this ancient ability of our brain.

Over time, we have developed a thinking, planning, constructing frontal brain, which serves us greatly in its ability to build, evolve, and promote.
Humans surely used those frontal brain abilities properly, although they used them too well or overused them, while neglecting the primitive side of the brain, which is older, has no human emotions or thoughts, but pure physical feeling based on sensing abilities.

The frontal brain corresponds to the front side of the body. The side that we are mostly aware of, the side that we can see, the side which connects to our feelings and thoughts.
The back side of the brain corresponds to the back side of the body, the side that we are less aware of, the side that is out of our sight.

If we learn how to balance the two, bring them both into our attention, we will gain one whole person that walks confidently on earth.
Directing our awareness also to the back side of our body and brain will awaken their important qualities, reducing our overthinking and overdoing.

Alongside balancing the left and right sides, we can learn how to conduct ourselves around a middle axis,
physically and mentally.
A central line that holds the skeleton balanced, allows energy to flow freely in the body,
and gives a sense of pleasure within the body, a sense of simplicity and confidence within ourselves.
