Why the Mind-Body Split? Understanding Historical and Modern Disconnects
The Mind-Body Divide: A Historical Perspective
The concept of a mind-body split dates back to the 17th century when René Descartes, a French philosopher, struck a quirky deal with the Pope. Descartes agreed to let the church handle all matters of the mind and soul while he focused on exploring the human body through science. This separation laid the groundwork for the modern-day disconnect between the mind and body.
Modern Medicine and the Mind-Body Disconnect
Mainstream medicine has long treated the mind and body as separate entities, often disregarding the emotional and psychological aspects of physical health. However, as neuroscientist Candace Pert highlights in her book “Molecules of Emotion,” nearly all diseases have a psychosomatic component. This means that our thoughts, emotions, and physical health are intricately linked.
SMGI®: Bridging the Mind-Body Gap for Holistic Healing
My Personal Journey Back to the Body
As someone who grew up in India, where Ayurveda teaches that the mind and body are inseparable, I found the Western approach to health and wellness quite alien. The discovery of SMGI® was like finding a key that reconnected me with my body in a profound way. In Ayurveda, it’s believed that diseases start in the mind and manifest in the body, or vice versa. SMGI® provided a gentle yet effective way to heal both mind and body simultaneously. Explore Ayurveda’s perspective on the mind-body connection.
Gina’s Story: Healing Stored Pain and Fear
Gina Vance, the creator of SMGI®, spent much of her life disconnected from her body, which had become a vault for pain and fear. Through SMGI®, she gently reconnected with her body, discovering it as a gateway to fully experiencing life. Gina’s journey highlights the importance of addressing stored emotions and trauma for holistic healing.
Spiritual Vehicle: The Body as a Soul Connection
From a spiritual perspective, our bodies are not just physical vessels but are essential for our souls’ experiences and expressions. Culture often encourages us to remain disconnected, staying “above the neck,” but SMGI® helps bring the body back into focus as a critical player in our spiritual journey. Understand the spiritual importance of the body.
The Gentle Approach of SMGI®: Starting with Pleasant Sensations
A Kinder Start: Focusing on Pleasant Sensations

This gentle approach creates a sense of safety, making you more open to deeper exploration. Learn about the power of positive focus in healing.
Dual Experiences: Balancing Pain and Pleasure
