Genius in our Body

I heard something on the Therapy Chat podcast today that really landed with me: “Our bodies are constantly striving for homeostasis.” The body is a genius in its own right — always working to bring us back to balance.

For millennia, we’ve been wired for connection. Humans have thrived in communities, through collaboration, and the deep bonds of sisterhood and brotherhood. It's in our nature.

But as we shift toward an increasingly individualistic society, something vital is being lost. This fragmentation serves systems like capitalism — systems that benefit when people are disconnected from themselves and each other. When self-awareness and body awareness are diminished, people become easier to influence, easier to control.

And when collective curiosity fades, so does our natural drive to grow, evolve, and thrive. Without it, we risk losing the very spark that propels humanity forward.
