Week if 10/26/2009 Sensing in motion inquiry #4

Through one day track at least five different times that your mirror neurons are notably firing. They may fire through out the day, but I want you too track when they are high volume. Post, Write, or email these five times.

From Parker Palmer's article seen here:

Please read this article, get the gist, and then reflect on how this class and his article meet, where do they connect, and any extra thoughts.

One of the major aspects of this class is to highlight how movement works, to track this in yourself and others, and to really develop fine tuned attention to the inner workings of movement. Now that we have 5 whole weeks of mileage with each other and with this subject, make a list of how do you NOW define movement and how has this definition changed or stayed the same?

On page 196 in the BLakeslee book they discuss the power of belief. One quote in particular will be our guide for this inquiry:

"In some people, researchers have found that immune cells called cytokines-the kind that make you feel sick- can be activated without a pathogen present. Recent research is starting to show that the central nervous system has a lot more active interaction with the immune system than previously thought. Emotions and beliefs, not just bona fide disease, can trigger the sickness response." pg 197


Considering that we are spending so much time conceptually and experientially understanding the Sensory division of the CNS (central nervous system), how then for you do you connect your immune system and your sensory nervous system? How is your awareness of your own movement via the sensory nervous system interacting with your immune system?
