MEDITATION IN THE LABYRINTH: INTERACTION BETWEEN COGNITION AND PROPRIOCEPTION

Abstract

In various parts of the world, work the maze theme as recreation and as an anti-stress resource for the troubled reality of large centers. Hospitals develop experiences with labyrinths as a tool to support the treatment of diseases. Henry Head proposed the term "body scheme", explaining that each individual constructs a model of himself, which constitutes a pattern in which postures and movements are composing themselves in a manner consistent with this pattern. It proposed the integrality between the different body perceptions and the influence of unconscious aspects in these experiences. Upon receiving sensory information, the CNS processes them in the context of previously learned responses and performs an automatic postural correction response, which is guided or expressed through the mechanical response that is supported. There are studies considering the contributions of various brain regions to adaptive behavior, and often conceptualize systems that govern brain-behavior relationships within separate and distinct domains. From a neurological point of view, behaviors can be differentiated between cognitive, attention/executive, language, visuospatial, learning and memory and sensory and motor domains.
