Elizabeth Tait ER Ch. 8 Summary

Chapter Summary: The mind is not the source of all knowledge.  When we believe that it is, we lose out on the the knowledge that our body and heart can contribute.  When we let go with our mind in performing a task, the knowledge of the body comes in to add light and perspective that would have never before been seen.  So therefore, words are not always the best teacher; since wisdom does not always come from the mind, words are the not always the best medium for teaching. 
Key Concepts: Be open to learning from your whole self; body, mind and spirit.
Key Terms:
Making Connections: It seems like the body knowledge that the author refers to in the chapter is also a bit of emotional knowledge.  I think that emotional knowledge, and decisions based on emotions, have their place in our lives.  We each have to find a delicate mix in balancing, mind knowledge, emotional knowledge, and body knowledge in learning and making decisions.
