Organismic

"Organismic" is a term we coined because we couldn't find a satisfying word that avoids outdated body-mind splits. When we say "organismic intelligence," we mean the integrated coordination of all your communication pathways and evaluators working together as a whole. It's not your brain controlling your body or your body influencing your mind - it's your entire organism functioning as a collaborative network, where intelligence emerges from the interactions rather than residing in any single location. This organismic perspective recognizes that sensing happens in the perpetual negotiations among your multiple systems. It is in that ongoing inner dialog, using your distributed intelligence, that healing, learning and adaptation might happen. So it is no wonder that you might descend into this muddle of complex sensations about your sore hip, and then emerge with a more elegant organization not just for your hip movement but for some seemingly unrelated part. (Such as how you talk with your neighbor about the barking dog.) Yes, it can be weird. And wonderful.
