It's the rejection of the balance's weakness.

And that's what creates weakness because when we reject the balance, if we say like my sensitive parts are weak, I won't allow them to come out ever, right?

Right.

then those sensitive parts start to try to take over the system because they're like, why are you ignoring me?

I'm part of you, right?

And then they start to become manipulative and overbearing and start to like try to control and, you know, take over the situation in different ways because they're not allowed to express themselves.

And all of our parts need to express themselves and feel safe within the whole.

So that's actually a big part of why we developed Apollo because when we talk about this stuff, it's really important to talk about, but we call that top-down learning.

This is another thing that's really poorly taught that I talk about at the beginning of the book is that there are two ways we learn, right?

There's people listening to this podcast and reading the book and reading the books we're learning in school and all that, and that's top-down learning.

Cognitive, brain-to-body.

Understanding...

Through the brain, we try to pass that down to the body through practice.

Then there's the other kind of learning that is equally important, if not on speaking of balance, right?

Which is body first learning, bottom up experiential learning, watching somebody do something and then trying to imitate it, feeling a feeling and then trying to recreate that feeling based on feeling, not based on understanding.

Have you ever tried to ride a bike by reading an instruction manual?

Negative.

Right?

How hard would that be?

It would be so hard.
