Why Movement is Essential for Mind, Body, and Soul
In the journey toward becoming your highest, best self, one of the most powerful yet often overlooked tools is movement. At Higha, we understand that raising your vibration, energy, and frequency doesn’t just happen in the mind. It’s a full-body experience, integrating the mind, body, and soul into one harmonious flow. In today’s blog, we’re diving deep into why movement is so important—not just for physical health, but for mental clarity, emotional well-being, and spiritual elevation. Plus, we’ll touch on the fascinating neuroscience that shows how movement rewires your brain for success.
The Mind-Body-Soul Connection
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get stuck in your head, ruminating over thoughts and ignoring the body’s natural need to move. Yet, movement is the key that unlocks balance across your mind, body, and soul.
For the Mind:
Movement enhances cognitive function, improving your ability to think clearly and creatively. When we move, we release endorphins—powerful chemicals that reduce stress and boost feelings of happiness. But beyond that, studies show that physical movement enhances neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize itself. This means that every time you move, you’re not just shifting your body, but also creating new neural pathways that can help you learn faster, think more clearly, and feel better.
For the Body:
Physically, movement is essential for maintaining a healthy body. It increases circulation, improves muscle strength, and enhances flexibility, all of which are critical for staying in alignment with your highest potential. But there’s more to it than just fitness. When you move, you activate your body’s energy systems. According to energy medicine, our bodies are a network of vibrational frequencies, and movement helps to keep that energy flowing smoothly, preventing stagnation that can lead to fatigue, stress, or even illness.
For the Soul:
Movement is a sacred practice. Whether it’s yoga, dance, or a simple walk in nature, moving your body can be a form of meditation. It helps you reconnect with your soul, aligning your physical self with your inner spirit. When we move with intention, we create space for higher vibrations to flow in, making it easier to manifest our desires and connect with our deeper purpose.
The Neuroscience of Movement
The brain and body are deeply interconnected. Movement stimulates the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that plays a crucial role in brain health. BDNF helps create and protect neurons, the cells responsible for transmitting information in your brain. This is why regular movement has been linked to better memory, enhanced learning, and overall cognitive function.
In addition, physical activity regulates the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. These chemicals are critical for mood regulation and mental health. Dopamine, often referred to as the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, is key to motivation and pleasure. Regular movement, such as exercise, increases dopamine levels, which is why we often feel more motivated and upbeat after a workout.
Furthermore, movement helps regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is responsible for our stress response. Regular physical activity keeps the HPA axis in check, reducing chronic stress levels and promoting a more relaxed state of mind.
How to Incorporate Movement into Your Daily Life
At Higha, we believe movement doesn’t have to be complicated to be transformative. Here are some easy ways to make it a regular part of your life:
- Start with Mindful Movement: Try putting on your favourite song, closing down your eyes, tapping on your chest and moving to the rhythm. This gets us out of our head and back into our body and senses.
- Dance it Out: Crank up your favourite Highaffirmation and just move!! Dancing is an incredible way to raise your vibration and shake off negative energy and with affirmations set to house tunes your day will be HIGHA. These are available on the Raise & Rise Hub, it’s free to join with amazing unlimited access to all of Claire’s meditations, EFT tapping videos and of course the vibing high highaffirmations. get access here.
- Take a Walk in Nature: Ground yourself by walking in nature. This helps clear your mind, release stress, and connect with the earth’s natural frequencies.
- Micro-Movements: Even if you’re busy, take time for micro-movements throughout the day. Stand up, stretch, bounce and shake on the spot take a few deep breaths. This small act can make a big difference in your energy levels, mood and kick in your parasympathetic nervous system (our rest and chill state).
