Why I wrote Re-mind Your Body

In 2018 I sat down to write a blog about something that had fascinated me my whole life. I carried a wealth of knowledge, insights few people knew even existed. Not because it was secret or dangerous, but because school and ordinary living never point us toward the extraordinary mind we already have. That blog never saw the light of day. In its place, I wrote a book: Re-mind Your Body.

I wrote it to spark a blaze of hope and curiosity about the untapped power of the human mind. It is an invitation to dive into yourself and wake the potential of the Homo sapiens that we are.

The blog that became a book

When I finally finished it, I felt an immense release, like shedding a heavy cloak of untold information. Many readers embraced what they found. Others met a world that worships logic, obeys outside authority, and puts the outer life ahead of the inner one. For decades we have been taught to see people as programmable, ruled by do’s and don’ts, rights and wrongs. That view leaves us powerless, misunderstood and disconnected. It becomes a wall we are afraid to step through. Stress is the mesh that holds the wall up: the mental handcuff of modern life.

Five percent of the mind

Science tells us the logical mind is about 5 percent of our real mental capacity. It looks small, and it is, until you turn inward. Explore the imagination and the unconscious mind, and the rest of the mind starts to open. The path to a wider awareness becomes real, and exciting. The logical mind, no longer asked to do all the thinking, rises. It finds smarter, more intelligent solutions.

Inside the body of each person lies the secret of wisdom, wholeness and authenticity. Learning to re-mind yourself, by tuning into the body, helps you realise the riches of the mind.

From human, to sentient, to sapient

Five years after the lockdowns, I see a different mood. People are recognising the power of self-knowledge, and the mind’s strength. Those bold enough to explore the emotional mind, the deep realm of feeling, find emotions rising from places where they had been hidden. Those feelings were ruling people’s minds all along. This journey wakes self-awareness. It moves us beyond merely being human, into sentient beings who own their experience.

That self-awareness is what separates us from the machine-like picture many people still hold. In a time loud with talk of artificial intelligence, knowing and using more than facts is how we keep our autonomy, and a sentient life.

Only the courageous step further, past the sentient human, into the real power of the mind. That leap is becoming fully sapient: able to reach inner wisdom through sensing, beyond what logic and reason can grant on their own. Many teachers say this journey matters. Few will show you how to walk it.

What you will find inside

The book takes you through the meridians and the chakras, through awareness, body work and journalling. It is a voyage into information the well-trained logical mind cannot reach on its own. Along the way you find new ways to enrich your health, your work and your relationships, and to enjoy life itself.

Inside it are the keys to that change: guidance for moving from human, to sentient, to the full mental capacity of Homo sapiens.

The adventure awaits.
