Physical Intelligence
We refer to Physical Intelligence as our most fundamental Intelligence. It penetrates our Emotional Intelligence and cognitive Intelligence, which we use daily to think, make decisions, and engage in critical and analytical thinking.
SYSTEM THINKING
How we do one thing is how we do everything.
The 'how' is captured in the design of our brain. To be more precise, it is stored in our subconscious. How we do things is stored in the form of patterns that exist at a level beyond our cognitive thinking.
Nobel Prize Winner Daniel Kahnemann is lauded for his theory on Fast and Slow Thinking - the System 1 and 2 Model. The logical mode of our brains used to solve novel, complex, or multi-faceted problems represents System 2 Thinking. System 2 is slower and more effortful than the automatic, unconscious, and emotionally-driven processes of System 1 Thinking. Most people take this theory and seek to shift the desired behavior into their System 1 thinking, but it's far more complicated than simply making that decision.
The subconscious patterns driving the how of both System 1 and 2 Thinking are not easily manipulated. They are encoded in what we refer to as System 0 thinking. You can think of System 0 as the most fundamental level of your thinking - it harbors the patterns that influence both System 1 and 2 thinking processes and your resulting behavior. The composition of patterns from System 0 Thinking is what forms your Physical Intelligence.
Your patterns result from your conditioning, condensed representations of your experiences during your upbringing. You are a product of your environmental influences, the people you've met, what you learned, and your experiences. Your patterns convey a characteristic or quality that is reflected in how you think, how you feel, and how you approach everything. Plus, there is a dominant pattern with more weight than all others; we refer to this as our 'blind spot.' As the name suggests, you may not be aware of this pattern, even as those around you see it clearly
Like in this fractal image, your thinking and memory consist of interlocking patterns. THEY influence thoughts, feelings, and behavior – ultimately, the decisions you make and the direction of your life.
PATTERNS
Our cognitive ideas, thoughts, and even emotions are shaped by aspects outside our conscious mind. Our intelligence, the source of thoughts, and great works of art come about not only from good ideas but also from many other less tangible aspects of the mind and human spirit.
Our ideas, thoughts, emotions, and physical states are embedded in a vast landscape of noncognitive aspects that have a deep influence on them. This network of patterns harbors our most fundamental intelligence, Physical Intelligence.
Your Physical Intelligence is shaped by the imprints of your experiences and genetic inheritance. It penetrates your cognition and emotional intelligence and profoundly affects your thinking, decisions, behaviors, and, ultimately, the direction of your life.
Your Physical Intelligence encompasses all mental patterns, also referred to as conditioning. The patterns have more control over your thoughts, decisions, and actions than you are aware of. They profoundly influence all aspects of who you are and run your life.
Why is that important? Deeply ingrained fears or patterns of self-sabotage can stand in your way of achieving your goals and building the success you wish to have. Think about examples like Impostor Syndrome, Perfectionism, or addictions. The choices you make and your personal and professional success - are all influenced by your Physical Intelligence.
ArtesHumanis' programs are designed to teach you how to get in touch with your Physical Intelligence to develop an awareness of what patterns influence you. We guide you through creating a powerful mindset and inner strength to build the life you desire and deserve.

Physical Intelligence Labs
Physical Intelligence is the landscape of patterns that reside in our subconscious. It is difficult for our cognitive or thinking mind to access and even understand these patterns. This is why we have designed Physical Intelligence Labs for you with a selection of exercises that allow you to experience and better understand your Physical Intelligence through what you feel and notice. Be open to experimenting and noticing new things about yourself, your state of mind, your feelings, and your perception. The key to the exercises is to observe and try not to think or even guess what you should experience.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or observations.

What is Physical Intelligence
What is Intelligence?Who can decisively answer this question? If you have been following the history of figuring out intelligence, you know that a conclusion is still far away. In the meantime, several different 'intelligences' have been coined. Our story includes the most important ones. We spent decades believing that our ability and success were largely tied to our IQ.

Impostor Syndrome, Perfectionism, Anxiety, Over-confidence.Patterns.Everyone has at least one. We are born with some of them. Our lineage and parents pass on dispositions for diseases but also behaviors. Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance has been demonstrated, and it is an exciting growing field that will provide more insights. Conditioning is a function of inheritance and environmental influences.
